    Signal strenght should not be a problem but depending on your supplier I believe
    it depends on what area you are in.I've also heard that 02 have a router that is compatible with them.

    it also depends on your area for the dongle aswell
    it may work for you perfect but your neighbour around the corner may have a few problems now and again!

    sharing is very time dependent, broadband doesn't have to be fast, it has to be consistent. that is the only issue. mobile broadband is questionable in terms of response times

    lol with my luck my neighbours would work and mine would give problems.

    sharing is very time dependent, broadband doesn't have to be fast, it has to be consistent. that is the only issue. mobile broadband is questionable in terms of response times



    as fintanni says above. mine goes off a few time a day just surfing the net.

    giggsy, you miss the point, coverage is not the issue, signal strength is not the issue, consistent kilobytes of transfer is the point, that in truth can only be guaranteed on a fixed line connection, no matter what the contention ratio

    The boxes will work on a mobile dongle as well if you get the router adapter for it as well have seen it working quite well and no break up either
