UK internet service provider O2 has extended its current half price dongle promotion, it has been announced.

Consumers wishing to access the internet on their laptop should note that O2 mobile broadband modems are now available for as little as £10.

The dongles – which are compatible with both PCs and Macs - enable users to surf the web while on the move, on a pay-as-you go basis.

O2 has extended the broadband deal until March 31st, meaning consumers still have two weeks to decide whether or not to take up the offer.

The O2 USB Modem E160 is available in either pink or black, and comes with a 30-day happiness guarantee.

Daily, weekly or monthly tariffs are available, depending on each individual user's usage expectancy.

Earlier this week, Telegent announced plans to launch a new broadband TV dongle which will allow consumers to watch live programming via their computers.
