UK ONLY: Does anyone know any decent cheap free laptop mobile Broadband packages?
I need a laptop and mobile broadband and want a cheap package (preferably one with a term about 12 months) that's good enough to use regular skype calls. Also it must have decent reception on the west coast of scotland if location is a factor.

Answer 1 :
I think you're asking a lot. Western Scotland has some very remote areas - in many areas I would expect mobile broadband services to degrade to GPRS even if there is any service at all. Even in the best served areas, Mobile broadband is not really up to running Skype IMHO. Skype introduces latency of its own which will be added to the not-inconsiderable latency of your broadband service and the result is delays so long as to make holding a conversation incredibly difficult. Finally, whenever I've looked at it, the free laptop deals always appear very poor value for money anyway.
