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withdrawn unlimited offer.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.
