        Hi Seanmckeown,

        I managed to do this in my mobile home with a 3g dongle and a router, if you want details of what I used let me know?

              Got a mate who has no telephone or internet, can you tell me what kind of price is the internet through the dongle and is it pretty stable??
              He would only need the dongle for a Dreambox he hasnt got a laptop just wants to watch some tv, cheers in advance,

                is this mate a caveman and lives in a dump? ..dreambox but no internet, no phone
                Fave replies from various threads

                1: What the fff is all that about??? All that crap below your reply I mean, get a life mate
                2: no info on google abt the pace sv5 rang asda they have no idea what i was talking about,
                3: Your total contribution to this forum, bordering on trolling, seems to have been a collection of snipes, one liners & asterisked expletives

                      i psy 20 euro per month with o2 ireland for 10 gb
                      i use about 2.5 to 3 for dreambox
                      i can renew my contract with o2 for 15 gb download if i wish

                      the dreambox works well 95% of the time but when its very busy on the isp it glitches usually aroud 8 oclock during the week when nobody is busy

                      ive no other isp so ive no choice but cant complain

                          I read where 02 are doing broadband and offer a discount if you use them on the phone but im not sure if you need a phone line in as well,that was another option its about 8 quid a month with the discount.
