Go to the '3' shop and get a MiFi for 20 quid a month with a 15Gb allowance.. It'll charge off a ligher socket and away you go.

Regardless of install this will be network dependant on quality of connection and level of coverage wherever you are.

That is a good option, I have one and do use it on the move though it can be flaky out in the sticks - but can't they all. It does maintain its connection pretty well on major routes though but don't expect true wired broadband speeds.

With the MiFi the one problem I have with mine is that they can get hot if being used and charging at the same time and shut down. It is one of the early Mi-Fis though and they may have improved on them since.

I just take the back off of it to let the heat dissipate

Depending on your model are there not reception problems inside the vehicle?

I know with my "double glazed" S8 phone reception for my passengers is generally rubbish, so I still maintain (with a separate PAYG sim card) the integrated ancient Nokia 3110 phone so that family can get in touch if necessary while on the move.

An integrated system with an external aerial will work better, especially in marginal areas, and of course provide a professional "business class" service. Whether it's cost-effective or not is another question.

I just switch on "WiFi hotspot" feature on the phone if I need internet on the move for laptop.
