Skunks,
I tried out Orange's IEW3G+ a few months back but it was not very reliable. Now I have tried again and I am quite impressed by the 7 day unlimited offer. This gives me an unlimited connection for 4,400 a month.
I mean the name is still wrong - EVDO can't keep up with Safaricom's real UMTS 3G - but I get a steady speed of 60kBps (480kpbs) when I have a good signal - much better than the speeds Safaricom were offering on their now withdrawn unlimited offer. Not near the up to 3.1 Mbps promised (I guess there is a cap) but very good compared to my alternative with Access@Home 128kbps for 4,640. Do you have a better speeds when not on an unlimited bundle?
With a 3G router (http://www.dovado.com/) I am able to plug in the modem (ZTE AC2726) and share the connection.
Only annoying thing is that I have to reactivate the bundle every week and it is only available on pre-paid but the website makes topping up less of an operation than using SMS. Strange that Orange is requesting credit card information on an unsecure page that only require Basic Authentication though. I stick to scratch cards to keep my credit card info safe.
Let's hope it stays.
