I have had a HP netbook for couple of months now and its great for out and about, Expect that finding WIFI is hard. And the cloud WIFI they have in shops is a con as after a bit they want money.

I was thinking about getting a 3g modem from three as there rates were the best, but lucky they phoned up offering me £5 pm with 1gb, And the first 3 months free. So I agreed. Next morning in the post it has already arrived which is sick as they said it would be 3 days.

It worked straight out of the box, Just had to put the sim card in myself.

The real shocker is at home the 3g internet is faster than my land line

The Ping is not amazing though

And my land line

The upload speed is so much higher. I need to look what the fastest speed I can get is.

The next trick is going to be to get this to work on my ubuntu os. Might need to do some hacking.
