This blog is about life on board our narrowboat Sanity Again, cruising the inland waterways of the UK (mainly in the spring, summer and autumn) and living in a marina in the winter. It's the way I choose to write it; if you don't like it, there are many other boating blogs.

No post today
Hi folks
We're at the top of Adderley on a really poor T-mobile signal, so no blog post today. Normal service tomorrow, hopefully!
Hi Bruce, I've been struggling with writing my blog this week on Tranquility, usig a T-Mobile dial up via Bluetooth and a mobile phone so Lin and I have bitten the bullet and purchased a 3G dongle thingy from 3 Store at around £97 for a 12Gb download and 12 months whichever comes sooner. Its very nearly as fast as broadband at home - Brilliant. When the 12Gb or 12 months is up, simply top up £10 for 1Gb/30 days. Try it, you'll like it.

I'm already using a Huawei modem, with an 18 month T-mobile contract. Most of the time it gives an adequate performance.
I'm pleased you're getting good results from the 3 service, as not everyone is as taken with it. All these services depend on where you are in the country – Elanor (daughter) has a 3 dongle, and finds it very slow in Burton where she lives.
Hopefully by the time I come to renew the T-mobile deal, their service provision will have filled in on more of their black spots - if not, I'll probably change provider.
