    theres a few thousand posts on this else where on the forum, if your in the middle of a 3g area, and have full coverage, could well be a contention issue

    It seems in your haste to find answers without taking the time to look/search or even research, expecting someone else to do it for you, you missed the 3619 posts about this subject.

    Take a look at the very long thread about 3 at the top of this forum - it's a sticky! Then put your modem back in its box and take it straight back to the shop before your 14 day trial is up. Trust me, you will save yourself a LOT of hardship.

    If you'd taken a minute to search, then you'd know that most folk hate ye "Aha - ya didn't search the whole fcukin' Internet before you asked your question" pedantic twats.......

    p.s. In your haste to be a smart wise cnut, you added NOTHING, no, nothing at all - now piss off before I track you down and bludeon you. Fool.

    Hey, I think the 3 modem's great. I love having to reload pages which time out especially after 6:00 in the evening, not being able to use YouTube or listen to radio stations online, running into problems using Outlook, not being able to use FTP to update my website and my connection dropping out a lot. Worth every cent of its €19.99 a month IMHO.

    And all the people in the sticky at the top of the page all over the country love having all those troubles as well. It's great! Don't bring the modem back. Hold onto it. You'll never suffer from low blood pressure again.
