Bought an o2 mobile broadband dongle, and what a load of rubbish it is, web pages take forever to load (if al all) sending Email is a joke, it would be quicker to write a letter.
Not impressed, and it’s now in the bin !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so pleased with mine!
Tried 3 and no signal whatsoever….
Top quality..fast….pay as you go at GOOD price broadband..I went into Phones 4 u and picked mine up for about £40 its a white dongle and I use the cable…is it all down to the luck of the draw with the USB modem rather than network I wonder??
Mine is by Huawei and is model E160….100 % satisfied and tested in several locations now…fingers crossed and touch wood will continue!
Definitely get 02

I lost my dongle but had to keep on paying the contract Ok i thought buy a replacement will be paying €199 for a replacement dongle. Can’t afford to wait now. Very bad karma on O2. Hope it works now

The software is also a bit flaky and crashed on a couple of the laptops. After reading other reviews, including PC Pro, it sounds like the choice is between T-Mobile and Vodafone

I found it ok. the cloud wi-fi network is useful, but 20 quid a month for a basic package is a little expensive.

I bought this to use while working away from home. Connected quickly, but after about 5 mins the web site would freeze, or the page would disappear to be replaced by one sying” Windows can not display this page. Most probable reason is you are no longer on line”.
