"Up to 3.6Mbps". And now in the real world my mobile "broadband" dongle gets 400kbps download and a whopping 25kbps upload on average. Only saving grace is I got 5Gb/month for £7.50 via Quidco instead of £15/month and it works in an unlocked 3G phone as well as in the dongle.
I see 3 have spawned another device in a desparate attempt to get someone to put their network to use, so first it was Skype and now facebook as I reckon that a lot of people return their dongles when they realise that the service is crap and that the mobile operators are lieing to them as in order to get the top speed you have to be the ONLY person on that particular cell, so its ADSL without wires, so its mobile somethingband then.
Indeed you can faceook on any phone, but the point of this is its running on the phone software and can bring all your contact over different mediums into the one inbox
and at 15 quid a month its competetivley priced
its getting good reviews elsewhere i'd love to know what El Reg thinks, as i might get one of these
