Surf the web anywhere in your iPad with mobile broadband
There’s now a new way to surf the net on your iPad if you haven’t got a solid broadband connection at home. Although there are plenty of cheap broadband deals available from providers like Sky.com, that’s no use when you’re on the move. Mobile broadband allows you to connect to the internet on your iPad wherever you can get a mobile phone signal. No wires, no router, all you need is a handy little dongle that you can plug straight into your iPad using the iPad Camera Connectivity Kit (a sneaky way around the no-USB port iPad problem).
Improving your internet connection speeds
Sometimes, surfing the web on your iPad can be a frustratingly slow process. 
In particular, streamed video content can often be jerky and blocky, which spoils the experience somewhat. This is usually nothing to do with the hardware itself, as the processor in the iPad is very fast indeed. Rather, it is the speed of your internet connection that is the main factor in determining the smoothness of video streams and the speed at which web pages load. Here are some tips to help you improve matters. For Sky’s best broadband deals, visit the Sky.com web shop.
