Or just get it direct from Three with a choice of modem http://three.co.uk/personal/products_servi..._plans_payg.omp
I have the Pay monthly version (£7.50 for 5Gb) and it';s OK, just no fallback to GPRS when you lose 3G coverage and not as fast as T-Mob. -------------------- He who asks a question looks foolish for 5 minutes. He who doesn't ask a question remains foolish forever.

I got a couple of these and in central London and Edinburgh both picked up as HSDPA, and in fact using the USB cable/antennae actually did seem to improve reception. Biggest problem with speed seems to be DNS resolution, rather than pure download speed. |

Not for the USB data sticks - purely 3G only.
The speed isn't bad, perfectly acceptable, just not as quick as T. |

Looks like it -> http://www.mobiholics.com/content/3/271031...ing-in-2g-area/ That topic is about a payg sim working on 2g (Which it does as I have one) Not sure if the sim supplied with the payg modems work on GPRS (With Orange) But hey, you can always get another sim from three and just use that.... |
