But i think I'm going to send it back tomorrow!
I decided to go for mobile broadband because I don't know how long I'm going to be in this flat and I get stressed having to move all my bills and stuff. It was also convenient to get it with my new mobile phone. Which I don't like anyway. It looks good enough, but it feels like a brick. What happened to the fashion of phones getting smaller?? I can't use it comfortably, my thumb doesn't reach across all the buttons!!
I'm now 90% of the way towards the descision to send it all back... I was willing to accept comparatively slow connection, but this is ridiculous. My download speed started at 11KB/sec and has decreased to 5KB/sec. In an hour of constant usage my total downloads are 5MB. I'm paying extra for a bigger download limit; at this rate with a month's constant usage (including when I'm at work and asleep) I'm still going to be 11GB short of it...
All this is because I've only got a 5th strength signal. Then how come my phone (on the same network) is nearly full signal??
Currently got a download of unspecified size on the go. Total estimated time Dial up: 1 - 2 hours, broadband 15 - 30 minutes. Started it at 10. I'll update when it's complete (not that anybody cares)
