Advantages: Quick speeds

Disadvantages: Installation of dongle

I am currently in a 18 month contract with three and I am so glad I am with them.

Speed - I usually achieve 2mb per second which is average of a fixed broadband line so considering this is wireless is an absolute bargain! Although please note that the speed does depend on coverage and so far my slowest speed has been around 100kbps although this still beats modem dial up which maximum was 56 kbps.

Coverage - Naturally this product works better when I'm using my laptop outside but inside there is still enough coverage to get a decent speed although please note that on the three site make sure you have HSPDA/3G coverage in your area for the internet as GSM/EDGE/2G wont be utilized as it is only intended for calls and texts.

Dongle - This was probably the hardest bit of setting up the internet as I had to install the dongle but all the information was in a different language. Therefore I had to call three up and I was told there was a new firmware for English out and that I had to navigate through the menus which I didn't understand to update it but luckily the assistant walked me through and within thirty minutes I was up and running the English client.

Overall great but if you are a bit of a technophobe its best to stick to landline broadband.

Summary: Great product, will not regret the purchase
