The New Three MiFi (Huawei E586)

Well I didn’t think they could improve on the older (second generation) Three MiFi, but I was wrong!

This Huawei E586looks like sex on a stick! don’t you think? 😉

It now comes with a nice little cradle for docking the MiFi and is much faster as it uses HSPA+

Quoted speeds:

  • Maximum Download Speed: Up to 21.6 Mbps
  • Maximum Upload Speed: Up to 5.76 Mbps

The PAY AS YOU GO price has been slightly increased over the older MiFi:

  • 3 Months with 3GB is £84.99
  • 12 months with 12GB is £134.99

I think the 12GB deal is a good option (if you can afford it) as it works much better over the year if you only use a few gig one month and nothing in other months (i.e. holiday periods).

If you need mobile broadband data every month then take a look at the MiFi contract options from Three.

I’m going to replace my slow home broadband for the 15GB per month package at £18.99

    As we chatted on Google+ … No, it doesn’t. For others, further chat about this and GPS can be found here: https://plus.google.com/116345236263784694803/posts/2QXyxE8VHEa🙂

      Hi Lynda. You would be OK with the cheaper E5331 Value MiFi if you wanted to save on the device … http://bit.ly/U4U2gz

      12GB PAYGO would be fine for a year of casual surfing and emails – depending on how many times a year you plan to go away! but at least you would be able to top up if you did run out.

      Hope that helps
