The 3 Mobile Broadband is fantastic! It gets 3G coverage in shitty areas of Lincolnshire that my O2 phone can't even get 2G signal.
I thought it'd be crap when the GF first got it, but I was quickly swayed. We use it for stuff like 4OD and it's faultless. The HSDPA coverage when you can get it is lovely and quick too.

i think from what ive seen vodafone is the faster one at 7.2 mbps as 3g, t mobile and orange are all 1.8 mbps which is probly is as slow as dial up, this is just from looking on sites tho anyone using this type of connection themselfes
