3 reaches 150,000 mobile broadband customers

Mobile broadband provider 3 has today announced it has surpassed 150,000 mobile broadband customers in Ireland.

The company has also announced new price plans across its entire range of mobile broadband devices.

3 claims that its new price plans offer the highest data cap threshold (15GB) and the lowest data charges following of €1.33 per GB.

Commenting on the announcement, Robert Finnegan, chief executive of 3, said: “These figures are real evidence of the success and continued demand for mobile broadband in Ireland.

“Our European experience, with more than two million mobile broadband customers, underpins 3’s knowledge and expertise in the area. Many of the world’s leading equipment manufacturers now acknowledge mobile broadband as the leading broadband technology and their global roadmaps reflect this – gone are the days when wimax and wi-fi were seen as challengers.”
