Vodafone Broadband To Go

RiderOnTheStorm

am thinking of going with Vodafones Broadband to go package, you know the one that is like a white mobile phone (€99 for unit and €39 per month thereafter).

You connect to the comp via usb (afaik) and all drivers are installed on unit. Advantages seem to be that it uses a mobile-phone network for connection, so no contention issues, and its portable.

Has anyone got any experience of it?

have also been looking into this for a friend who lives in kilkenny and has no wireless options available and phone line isnt of good enough quality. i am looking for it to be hooked up to a desktop so doesnt need to be portable, what options are available? is he likely to get signal or is there ariels available for 3g broadband modems?

What makes you think that it doesn't have contention issues? It certainly does, Although I have never experienced serious slowdown it does happen.

And (at least according to their adverts) about 8 times faster than it actually is
