Connect 5 users to mobile broadband.

hi,
anybody try one of these things?
all the phone networks seem to be offering them now. just wondering does anyone have any experience of them?

could be very handy depending on how strong the signal is etc.

Not much to say about them m8, other than they work perfectly, very handy.

Very handy and convienient but much shorter range than an other WiFi device I've ever used.

Hmmmm 5 people? Apart from bandwidth issues if you all want to connect at the same time you'll all have to be sitting in the same room if your just connecting via WiFi.

I wouldn't connect 5 users to a single 3G connection, that's just asking for trouble. The range tends to be reduced using the mobile routers, but not by that much. Perhaps if you had 5 users on it, the range would be less, but mine works across rooms and floors of the house, to about 20m.

handy devices alrite and do the trick but once you start adding more than 1 connection it can get pretty lame

thanks for the replies, i wasnt planning on connecting 5 devices, probably a max of 3 one of them an ipod touch.

how exactly do they work compared to the other simpler mobile dongles. do they have a lan connection?

do they connect directly to one pc or are the independent with just a power supply.

You can use them as a normal dongle if u so wanted, but normally you power it from a mains charger or a usb port, just switch it on and your devices connect wirelessly.
