Glue it back on. ::) :-X

gone over your bandwidth?
These dongles that everyone seams to be using from home are not meant for such use.
-
Its the new 15gb for £15 a month version and according to their website i have only used 5gb so far and the months nearly up... :-/
-
The fact its on '3' is the biggest problem! ;D
-
I thought it was quite a good deal seeing as i had to cancel the virgin package when dad died....But i`m really having real difficulty staying on line with the damn thing.... :-/
-
Try contacting them... Although I've only used mine a little, as I've only got it for when I'm not at home, it was fine.
Perhaps try uninstalling the software and trying to reinstall it :-/ :-/ :-? :-?

i get the same problem every now and again with my 3 dongle i have tryed uninstalling and reinstalling ive even phoned them and they told me to disconnect and then remove from the pc leave for 5 mins then put it back and reconnect sumtimes it works but ost off the time it dont
-
Yeah i`ve wondered as to wether they are overheating as they get really hot when plugged into the laptop directly and stay cool when used via a usb lead.... :-/
-
have you tried being near to a window or useing a usb lead to keep the dongle near a window as using the laptop in the house you maybe finding it hard to keep a signal

I had a "3" dongle last year....utter rubbish. Was having same problem as you. Now have a vodafone one,its perfect,never let me down in the 6 months ive used it so far. I top up with £15 and that does me roughly 2 months.
-
My advice, if you have at a 3G or prefrably a 3.5G Capable phone the chances are it'll have an internet sharing option, if you pay for unlimited data which is cheaper than a dongle this will give you the same speed internet access for you PC. Job Done. hehe!! :y
-
Must admit, the Vodafone one is not bad. Might flicker from 3G to 3G+ from time to time but it can hold the connection and speed is good.

Here I go again........!! ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)
What exactly is a "dongle" and what does it do please?? :o :o :D :D :D
-
A Dongle is one of those little plastic usb thing u can stick into a laptop or pc and gives you wireless internet. but they just use the same signals that mobile phones use. :y

Thanks Richard!! :y :y :y :y :y

No idea about 3 dongles but i had a BAD phone contract experience with 3 so don't trust them one iota, never deal with them again...a'holes.
Got an Orange dongle with my phone deal so i can use the lappy on truck nights out/meets etc. Not perfect, can be a tad fussy but usually ok. New phone with 800 x network mins, 300 txts, unlimited landline calls & the dongle, £25 per month inc. :y
