Well the US needs to get ahead on something cos i can imagine its a hard place to roll out coverage.

4G might be as good as home broadband. But in the UK 3G coverage is still so patchy they will be biting off more than they can chew if they start going on about 4G.

so is anyone here planning to buy one of these products (that sound more like a feminine hygene product)?
I definitely can't see me getting one. 3g for iphone on o2 is not brilliant in my area but its adequate, and for data, I have an almost 50mbit fibre optic line for my downloads! but if I didn't I would probably have at least an 8mbit line and still wouldn't want one of these
I can only image that vodafone assume that unknowledgable people will be buying these at £160 a pop!?

I guess if people dont want to move networks and their coverage looks like never improving then it could be a worthy investment for mobile home coverage. By the way your 50mb downloads i presume your on Virgin? Is it what its cracked up to be? When i first heard about 50mb speeds i was sceptical at first.

um, ok, I don't actually get 50mbit... but by 3 separate speed tests I get around 48mbit which is close enough
it took Virgin engineers 3 attempts to get me that speed though otherwise I wasn't going to pay for it
fortunately, I have 200mbit A/C adaptor thingys through the house in the various rooms that have PC's, and my vaio has 802.11n wifi to make use of it too
coming from BT, then Sky ADSL with max 8mbit, I'm well impressed

Wow 200mb
I recently seen on the news about still large parts of the UK still have dial up speeds. Oh dear. We are very far behind on tech in the UK.

well, these 200mbit adaptors achieve that through the electricity supply of the house, but if they are only fed by 48mbit thats all you get. But when I finally get the server setup I want (i.e. several terrabytes of HD space) with videos etc then it will hopefully work better for that than any current broadband delivery

Oh through the electric i see. And terrabytes blimey try not to blow the house power up now lol. At present i dont have home broadband i use an Orange mobile modem. Its ok for my use i used to have a 3UK one but found their network slow where i live cos of poor coverage. My best friend in Hungary she lives out in the sticks there by lake Balaton and she still has slow dial up speeds its awful. Anyway im off to sleep now got a day of packing to do tomorrow am off to see family in Ireland on Friday. Ciao
