Older mobile broadband modems are not as fast as the current modems,
Also mobile modems suffer the same ailments as mobiles where they get network locked.

Also be careful when buying a new modem because a lot of providers now charge like a wooded bull when your on the edge network (even if you have a 6gb cap they still charge for edge). I'm with 3 just for my laptop and i downloaded 10 mb on the edge and got a bill somewhere in the $40 just for that.

I have one of those blue wireless bigpond modems you can have or swap for something, just plugs into USB, not using it now, regards Neil


greedy53 - January 10th, 2009 at 02:18 PM

cool what would you swap for or how much


annosL - January 10th, 2009 at 05:45 PM

I need some bits for my L bug reactivation, if you can do any of these it's a deal!
I need the clips (wire) which hold down the top of the plastic air-cleaner lid part(stock)
Plastic knobs which you pull up to push front seat forward
I am after some patterns for the carpet sections so I can make some up
Any knobs or dash bits for L bug, basically any thing you can fit in a post-bag as I am in W.A.
......if you are happy with that then the modems yours! I can't PM as I haven't done 5 posts but email is ok
regards Neil.
