I live in the uk and have been using vodafone mobile broadband for 6 months. When i signed up in the vodafone store they made me aware of exactly what 3 complains about and steered me to the huaweii e220 3.6mbps for this reason. They asked me where i’d be likely to use my laptop when i enquired about the 7.2 modem stick then told me exactly what is said above. Pretty decent of them if you ask me.

Thanks for this - have been going around in circles trying to get the additional drivers needed to run the 3 broadband dongle! 3 technical help were not very knowledgable on macs and just kept me on the phone line repeating steps, until I lost my patience. Pity they are advertising these as ready to use on Macs -10.4 upwards when clearly they are not!

Thanks for the link and info. It’s very difficult to find this firmware, especially that the official site for the Huawei E220 modem doesn’t have it!

Thanks again.

Three’s wireless mobile broadband is a dodgy deal at its core. Their tactics in selling and keeping customers are criminal. The poorest technical support of all Australian isp’s along with dodgy data use reporting are one thing. Most everyone i know who’ve used their mobile broadband service have had the same story. Techs who string dissatisfied clients along on their never ending phone waits…error filled billing and inconsistent volume usage tabulation on their part. Dodgy, go with optus, telstra, vodaphone. Save yourself some grief and stay clear of this mob.

Does anyone know if 3 has a dongle option that will run on an Eee pc which has a version of Linux, not Windows?
