FREEDOM4 has just launched a new service which is all about broadband wireless connectivity. The software and hardware package aims to combine 3G and WiFi usage to get the best connection at any place – a nice idea, methinks.
There are also some nice value-adds in terms of a WiFi hotspot locator, and text service which tells you the nearest hotspot according to current position – given they now have 4000 in the UK, and 50,000 globally, I’d say the chances of finding one if you are in a built up area are getting better and better as time goes on.
Highlights of the recent FREEDOM4 tests include download speeds peaking at 17 Mbps, with average speeds reaching 2.8 Mbps. Over 600 connections were tested across the UK. Pricing for the new FREEDOM4 service starts from GBP25 per month which includes dongle and any combination of either 1,000 Mb (1 Gb) of 3G or 1,000 WiFi minutes.
