I haven't yet looked at the modem with a focus on data connection and transfer speeds. I posted some thoughts on my tech blog yesterday on pricing and transparency (<a href="http://tinyurl.com/5nm64k" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/5nm64k</a>); my next focus is speed. Still waiting for a tech spec from 3. It’s interesting to hear from you in Denmark, Karin, as well as Richard in Sweden, on your experiences with the 3 mobile broadband service.

I have used 3´s mobile broadband here in Denmark for over six months. Doing presentations, workshops and consultancy in all kinds of places with firewalls of all kinds this has saved me and my listeners so many times. So much that I am considering purchasing a bunch of dungles for my attendants to use when everyhting else fails - and believe me - Murphys Law works here in Denmarks too. I asked 3 recently what they would charge me, and unfortunately they cannot give me a better price on subscriptions. They also mentioned that they have Mobile routers for three or more people to share with no instalation of software (like with the USB modems - http://business.3.dk/Business/MobiltBredband/Noglen-til-fart/Router/ - however - unfortunately the upload capacity is not good enough for upoading mp3-files, etc. - so I have put this on hold so far.

Glad I haven't signed up even thought they're the ones I have my phone contract with :) That's something I plan to pay attention to, Richard - connection speeds. I assume the prices you mention are monthly; they look similar to what you'd expect to pay in the UK at the moment. Alex, it's a global business! Shel, I'd thought about a card option when I first started looking at mobile broadband. In fact, my Sony Vaio laptop came with a T-Mobile PCI Express card for mobile broadband. But I didn't take up their offer as, frankly, the pricing was simply far too high even with 30 days free. That was last August; how things have changed in this regard in the UK in less than a year.

I'd be lost without it. Here Stateside, I’ve been using Sprint mobile broadband (via PC card) for a couple years. I’d be lost without it.
