Manchester’s Mantex has been playing with his trial dongle and has found it to be very handy indeed. The idea of USB modems certainly appeal to him; “No need for a wireless hub - and you don’t need to be near a hotspot” to get online.

He reports that the software needed installed very quickly from the dongle “without a single hitch”, and he was able to connect immediately to the internet. Mantex also briefly mentions the price plans and how the 3 dongle comes free when you take out a contract with 3. There is promise of further reporting to come as he intends to try it in his car to see how well the connection lasts while traveling around the M60, “Manchester’s answer to the Boulevard Periferique”. Good travelling sir, we look forward to your verdict.
