Ok I don't know if this is strictly in the right place but maybe someone
can help. I have recently signed up for Vodafone's Mobie internet. A
dongle that runs from my sb port.

USB port? Which dongle?

I get varying degrees of reception. Sometimes 2g and poor and sometimes
3g good.

Not surprising.

Does the mobile internet run over same wavelenghts as mobile phones.

No.

Can i build a form of cantenna to increase its reception

I suggest trying a simple reflector to see how much it would help.
