This review is from: 3 Three Huawei E160G Stick USB Modem Black Mobile Broadband
This works really well in areas with coverage but you can not complain about coverage because all mobile phone service providers have coverage problems in some areas, and survey data show that 3 has the best 3g network.

This review is from: 3 Three Huawei E160G Stick USB Modem Black Mobile Broadband
I bought this to get the internet on holiday in my caravan. Alas once you get outside a centre of population, reception is likely to be zero. I was fooled by their “98% coverage” and the fact that they use the 02 transmitters, assuming that where there was good reception for my 02 phone, I would be able to get the internet. Not so: on a holiday taking in the lakes, Loch Lomond and the Scottish Highlands I was unable to download a single page.
Since I researched the device, they have now brought out a proper map which shows the true coverage. It’s 98% of the population, not 98% of the country.
The device itself is neat efficient and easy to use. Should be good if you are using it solely about town.
