Not really Broadband tho is it? Pity our government include it in statistics for people with broadband coverage, makes this counrty look as if its got things done when in reality there are still thousnds of people in this country without broadband access.

What kind of a landlord refuses to allow broadband? I'd soon tell him shove it. Is he living in the eighteen hundreds? Broadband availability is quite often a selling point on a house, its the same with rental

he has BB installed

DSL, but it disconnects a packet every 15 seconds, making msn, irc, gaming, downloading impossible.

he lied about it when i moved in, im really dependent on BB for work + college report

just a quick question,

where would i go about finding a 3 or 4 metre usb cable thats compatible with the dongle or would any standard cable do ?

Up in tallaght cheers. I get full 3G at my window but im on a desktop so its kinda awkward!

Should be able to get one in most computer shops, its just a bog standard usb extension you're after.

That just illustrates the point that 3G is designed for net access on the go rather than home use, a 6 foot lead would be pretty irritating if you were trying to use a laptop on the train.

Hank Scorpio

lol thats true also :P
but the double usb adapter is 4 times the size of the standard one!

i hit 50 mb , watched a few youtube videos etc.

And a message popped up saying something about some limit has been met?

Isnt the cap 5 gigs on vodafone? Can someone explain thanks.

ya thats something stupid that has to be changed to get your max allowence when u get ur modem, i asked one f the lads about a month ago when i was in america and what ya have to do is go to settings and change the isage thingy to 5120 MB, I don't have a vf modem to do this step by stepp but hopefully someone can clarify this or even try find it by going to settings in the vodafone menu
