With the continual evolution of technology, the latest trend is to get things smaller and more mobile. It is no more an option to carry around a cable with your laptop to go online (through dialup or dsl). Most users switched to WiFi but even for that you need an Access Point (AP) and that means limited coverage. Mobile GPRS internet was an option for most users who wanted to access the internet on the go, but it didn't reach the speeds other broadband options gave them (at the expense of being mobile). With the advent of 3G, users can now access broadband internet on the go through mobile broadband. All you need is a usb dongle modem which supports mobile broadband services and a service provider to help you connect to the internet provided your area has 3G mobile signals.
That means that you can access broadband internet anywhere you are and you won't be limited to being close to access points anymore. Most of the mobile broadband services in Europe and the UK pretty much cover entire countries. To compare your current internet connection with other mobile broadband services in your area, you can run a speed test which is provided through most services and websites to know if you are getting a better deal for your money or not. An example test can be viewed here where you can compare a normal internet connection with a mobile broadband internet connection.
