Re: [LUG] Anyone have a 3G USB Dongle that can be borrowed while switching ISP/network?

Does anyone have a 3G USB Dongle that can be borrowed in the time between disconnecting from BT and switching networks and ISPs to Opal (who use the TalkTalk network)?

Contract or Pay As You Go would be fine, Dad has business stuff that needs to be done (as he runs his own net based business) and being disconnected for anywhere from a couple of days up to a month is not going to be good for him.

One other request is that this dongle should be Mac compatible, as Dad uses an iMac.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.
Has your dad considered getting one as a backup?

They're really handy and cheap now (about £25 upwards depending on network). I would say if you're reliant on web access then a backup like this would be a godsend for when things go down (okay might not happen often, but it can happen).
