A new study released by popular consumer assistance for broadband website Broadband Choices points out that 33% of all mobile broadband customers make their decision on who to sign a long-term contract with based on free incentives. The perception that these items such as dongles and laptop computers are given completely free of charge is of course a false one, as United Kingdom mobile broadband providers all mark up the monthly cost of a long-term mobile broadband contract so as to compensate for the price of the free computer or other incentive. The study basically concludes that free laptop deals are not really free. The second most persuasive factor in choosing a mobile broadband company was overall speed. While every mobile broadband provider in United Kingdom offers 3G connection and speed, apparently many of these vary by as much as 50% overall. After free incentives and speed of download, the next feature most important to United Kingdom consumers when choosing a broadband company is length of contract. Many UK consumers would prefer to pay more per month with a pay as you go mobile broadband plan and deal with no long-term obligation to the provider. Another very important factor in choosing a mobile broadband provider, as pointed out by Broadband Choices is mobile broadband coverage. One should always use a post code keyed tool to be absolutely certain that the company you wish to sign with has complete high speed coverage for your home area.
