3 Mobile Dongle Broadband??

darrenw5094 · 2012-02-14 01:13:16

Anyone have any experience with this? It's the new E586 dongle in the 3 Mobile broadband. I already have broadband with Vodafone @ €40 a month for 40Gb allowance with download speeds of 800 k/b per second. Is the 3 mobile dongle slower than the vodafone WiFi, as it works out a bit cheaper than Vodafone?

Depends on the network and the reception of 3 in your area... 3 could be great 5 miles down the road and absolutely abysmal where you're located and vice versa for vodafone

all depends on the location you're connecting from, if you can get a lend or check around for different networks signal strength might be of use!
