    Hi. I just recently purchased a Vodafone 3G Modem but I am having problems when trying to access sites with video content (for example youtube.) The picture and sound keep freezing when i try to view the video content and sometimes there is no picture just the audio.

    Is anyone having similar problems and know why this is? Any help greatly appreciated.

    Sounds like your connection, TBH. Any radio connection, such as 3G is 'bursty' in nature, meaning it isn't always a consistent connection like DSL, for example.

    So what I would guess is happening is that you are connecting, it is downloading a piece of the video, losing connection, playing a piece of video and reconnecting, downloading and so on.

    How strong is your signal?

    Their network is saturated, they have sold more 3G modems than they can actually handle at the moment.

    My signal is usually at full strength or at least almost. Also i realised that at night (after 11pm), the speeds are greatly improved and i have no problems aceessing video content.

    Ring Vodafone and check network coverage in your area. Pause the youtube videos when they load and let them buffer first before pressing play.
