How netbook broadband bundles stack up

T-Mobile is currently offering the Asus Eee 904HD, with a monthly data allowance of 3GB at £25 per month. The operator is the only one that promises not to charge its customers when they go over their allowance. Instead, it has a 'fair use' policy, and those customers who go significantly over their limit are offered a higher-priced package.

The 1.36kg 904HD is an unusual netbook in that it has an 8.9-inch screen housed in the body of a 10-inch machine. This means the bezel around the screen is wider than usual.

The device also uses a Celeron M processor, which is older and more power-hungry than the Intel N270 Atom chipsets used in all the other netbooks currently offered by UK operators. The computer uses a gigabyte of RAM, runs Windows XP and includes an 80GB hard drive.
