Mobile Broadband from Orange Review

About a year ago I posted up my experiences of using a 3G dongle from the British mobile network Three. Although it worked and did what I wanted most of the time I reported that it could be quite frustrating to use. The signal often cut out, it was slow to connect and speeds were generally slow.
