    Does anyone know the story with the new Vodafone modems in the UK (7.2mb ones) and when are we likely to see them here? I want to get their 3G broadband but i don't want to be stuck with the old modem after a few weeks.

    Has anyone got in writing from vodafone that they will upgrade the modem for free once the new one comes on the market?

    Why would you want a Vodafone modem both 02 & 3 are €10 less per month, give you twice the download limit and both of them should be hitting 7.2mb very shortly...

    As mother mary says "Shop Around"

    Why not ask vodafone if they intend making a new modem available?

    I wouldn't touch 3 with a barge pole and O2 don't have coverage in the area so shopping around isn't an option i'm afraid.

    I rang vodafone and I was told it wouldn't be a problem but i'm not convinced. The lad didn't seem to know much about it.

    Edit: JUst saw O2's new prices its just a pity its not available in the area.

    When the old modem is updated does it not do the 7.2 MB thingey?
