2 gig limit on it, if you dont exceed the limit they wont do n e thing, although techincally your not meant to use it for that, however, i have been using it for month as long as your not downloading things and just using it for net its fine. | |

You can't connect a laptop to the Vario and use the internet, its a breach of the fair usage policy. | |

3G is great when you can get 3G i would check if the area your in has 3G first otherwise you could be connecting at 56k or less. | |

numerous ways you can do it, easiest way is using your mobile as a modem however this can be slow and expensive, if your going down this route i suggest getting a "vario 2" mobile on t-mobile as its free internet and it runs at 1.8meg through your phone, no wires very easy to set up. | |
