Advantages: Good for general web browsing

Disadvantages: Bad for gaming and video streaming

13 months ago i purchased the web n walk stick thinking it would be great for the family to use any where they like,which is certainly the case,no quarms about that.I myself mainly use the internet for multiplayer gaming, ie playing poker,golf,pool as well as other games.Any one purchasing one of these dongles should not be mis-led in to thinking that they are going to be as reliable and as fast as fibre optic broadband,because they are certainly not.The download and upload speeds advertised don't even reach 3.6Mbps,i know this from the fact that i did numerous broadband speed checks and the results barely reach 1Mbps of download and upload speed,resulting in slow streaming and constant gliching.My dongle was actually suppose to reach speeds of 7.2Mbps,so you can see my gripe with t.mobile.Even trying to stream videos on youtube is very slow indeed,constantly stopping and starting.The usage isn't much good either,you will be very suprised at how long 3Gb will last you (not very long if your streaming) So to sum this up,my advice to anyone purchasing a t.mobile USB stick should be aware of what they are going to use it for.For general browsing and e.maling it works fine,but for streaming videos or game play should find an alternative broadband.Oh and then theres the small matter of bad weather,which can effect the performance as well,so just be aware of these things when purchasing.

Summary: Slow speeds than advertised,resulting in constant gliching and poor streaming
