looking for laptop and dongle? anyone help

[gatso]

only problem I have with my one from 3 is I can't connect to full tilt so please try out every poker room you want to use before you commit. used to have problems with ipoker and the packet sizes but then so did a lot of normal isps, that's sorted now though.

every other poker room is fine on mine and no other problems really.

one more problem, people have had trouble playing on crypto if someone on the same table is connecting via the same network as all users share a single ip addy so one of them is kicked off. shouldn't matter for too long though as crypto will be gone soon

Be careful with your usage allowance as they are a fraction of fixed connections and if you go over its very expensive.

It came today Andrew for the trial, works fine around my home on it now, as fast if not faster than Sky. Just wondered long term and coverage and any other problems anyone has had before committing.

Dongles typically have monthly download limits. Dunno about your deal though.

May be a factor if you are wanting to download TV programs and films and such after giving up the telly.
As Grier says, they get ridic expensive if they are exceeded.

Thanks for the replys, we would not be downloading really just using it to browse the net and poker. There is not really a lot on tv that interests me, Darren watches it but I bet I watch about 2 / 3 hours TV a week if that.

Also they told us there is a fair usage policy but we would not get charged unless we continually went over and after they had warned us via mail first.

However, taking all these things into consideration and thinking that dongles may reduce in monthly cost post xmas plus after a slight major hiccup ( computer would not restart after closing it down had to reset it to manufacturers settings) and after SKY offering us a better deal we are thinking about not keeping the dongle but maybe doing it after xmas.
