Clearly Stephen Waddington is a man who knows what he wants, beginning his post on installing the dongle with “How often is plug and play actually that?” You know that this is going to be no nonsense.

So it was good to hear that Wadds found the installation a “piece of piss” and even managed to “scoff a sandwich” while his 3G USB modem cranked itself into action. As soon as it was up and running he clocked the speeds at a respectable 1,168 kbps for download an 55 kbps or upload.

Stephen is keen to test the modem against public Wi-Fi networks, so we are looking forward to more down-the-line colloquialisms throughout the trial period.
