They provide surprisingly fast speeds, so you can expect a decent performance, and when 5G options become available, performance will be even better.
They can thus be used with any laptop or tablet device, or even an e-book reader. You can also get pay-as-you-go options, which are useful if you perhaps only need the dongle for a short period. They are also great contingency cover for any failure of your home or office broadband.
Should that go down for any reason, or if performance should drop off, you can just connect via the dongle instead. This would be especially useful in situations where you or perhaps a member of staff really needed to connect to a video conference and were having problems with the usual broadband connection.
There are not many, to be honest. During a cross-country train journey, for example, the signal may drop out now and then. You may have to reconnect to get it back when the signal returns. In extremely remote areas, there may be no signal at all. If you want to share the connection, this will be especially true. A 4GT dongle is designed for a single device and user, and while it is possible to share your dongle connection, that is going to impact the speed and performance you get.
As they run off your portable device battery, they will drain power a little faster, so you may find working time away from a mains charger is reduced a little. Whether a dongle is a good choice for a business or not depends on what you want to use it for.

Some mobile broadband providers - such as Three in central London - offer proper routers for your home with much more generous download limits.
See our beginners' guide to mobile broadband for more. Dongles are available from major mobile networks. You can buy one outright and go pay-as-you-go, if you only intend to use it occasionally, or take out a contract. They're mostly day contracts, but longer ones - 12 or 24 months - can work out cheaper if you use your dongle often. If you already have a dongle or mobile broadband device, you can get a data-only SIM plan.
Difference is, a Mi-Fi dongle that works as both a modem and WiFi router. This means that, unlike a dongle, multiple devices can connect to a MiFi device to access the internet. A dongle is basically a very little modem with the ability to connect to wireless or mobile broadband - 4G or 3G , the same as the broadband on your smartphone. When you plug a dongle into a computer, your computer is essentially connected to a modem and can get online. Unlike an awkward cabled connection, a dongle doesn't dangle - it plugs in securely straight into your USB port.
