    4.0 out of 5 stars Good so far..., 25 Sep 2009
    This review is from: 3 Mobile Broadband PrePay Dongle - Black (Electronics)
    Up and running in under 5 minutes. Just slotted the sim card into the dongle and plugged it into the usb port. Software self-installed (no cd needed) on my creaky old pentium 4 with Windows XP. Topping up using voucher (remember to convert the add-on!) is no problem. Basic 3g faster than my old adsl modem, gets even noticeably faster when catches the HSDPA signal. This is on the 3/5 bars signal power which is the norm for the 3 network in this area. I'd heard bad things about 3's signal (good when you start then deteriorates) but looks ok so far. The Amazon listing does not mention which model dongle it is, I received a Huawei E156G. Loses one star as it's a bit bulkier than I expected and Linux not listed as supported (though I understand works ok).

    4.0 out of 5 stars dongle, 6 Feb 2010
    By Ms. L. C. Wilson "linda" (UK) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    This review is from: 3 Mobile Broadband PrePay Dongle - Black (Electronics)
    I had a previous 3 PAYG dongle which was not good at all and needed replacing 4 times due to a faulty port on it but this was not a straight USB connection and had to be connected via a cable.
    I have always found 3 broadband to be very good, though I am lucky enough to live right next to an antenna!
    I really like this dongle, its so easy to use and install but you must check coverage! It would seem fromm the feedback of friends is you either get a brillian coverage and speed or none at all so do your research first!
    If you are in a good area then I would defintely recommend as its cheap, no contract and at the moment I get speeds of 3Mb plus!

    1.0 out of 5 stars A waste of money and time., 27 Sep 2009
    This review is from: 3 Mobile Broadband PrePay Dongle - Black (Electronics)
    What can I say ?? An utterly useless product. Looks good, and well packed, just plug and play and you are up and running. Well sometimes, that depends on the wind and rain beleive it or not, and if you are near a window...
    Slower than a week in the jail too. You tube videos just keep cutting out every three to four seconds, until you give in. I am told I live in a good reception area, I can only imagine how dire it must be in a poor rececption area. The speed is slower than a dial up connection at best, plus the drop out when you are working online. I have lost loads of work thanks to three. Security is a possible issue here too. This is the second time I have had to post this review also.
    My advice do not buy...
    I have also used an 02, Vodafone dongle before and they were just as useless. It makes you wonder if mobile broadband is the next big rip off to be put on the british public.
