| | | Vodafone Mobile Wireless Broadband
You don't get much more mobile than Wild About Britain members zipping around the UK, so I was wondering, does anyone use the new Vodafone Mobile Wireless Broadband? Vodafone Business Shop - Mobile Email Products
I've been waiting for this sort of thing for a long time and it'd be great to be able to connect to WAB while away on trips. The coverage maps shows that it's limited to big city regions at the moment, but I think Vodafone aim to cover almost all of the UK by summer.
Has anyone got one or plan to get one soon?

I tend to use GPRS when I need remote access. Obviously much slower than the predicted speed for the wireless broadband but I don't have a monthly subscription to pay  |

Personally, I am going to wait for a licenced 802.16 WiMAX type solution before embracing a mobile wireless net access. WiMAX might not be the technology that wins out, but a service of that nature will eventually take over.
WiMAX is much more suited to a mobile net technology rather than 3G that is designed for phones and goes via satellite (kills any chance of decent online gaming due to excessive ping times), or an 802.11x that was designed for LAN applications rather than WAN apps.
WiMAX will use licenced RF transmission (like 3G, but crucially, unlike the current PC Wi-Fi that is not licenced), and can therefore transmit at much higher power than current unlicenced 802.11x type devices.
This is of course just my opinion, and there are millions of people happily using 3G and 802.11x services, but for me they just dont cut the mustard. | | |
