Needs relationship counselling! - T Mobile 3GB USB 10 of 10 Ciao Users found the following review helpful
Rating from superfreak2010 2 Stars ()

Advantages Easy instillation, flexible payment methods, ideal ram size

Disadvantages Slow connection, no connection periods, interferes with PC system operations?

T Mobile as far as I am aware and according to older news reports, had received a number of consumer complaints concerning the network coverage difficulties experienced as well as other fundamental issues related to the T Mobile services in general, so was quite skeptical about purchasing this Internet package despite the advantages of it being pay as you go. Just recently, it received a Broadband Genie award and most likely because the 3GB USB has undergone considerable technical designs this year with its French Orange merger contract.

Initially, these dongles were retailed at £35 for a 3GB that I had paid last year, though prices have come down since the recent unification that have re-developed these standard USB devices to greater performance objectives, I am yet to afford a rival replacement as they don't all come cheap – I was lucky to afford this at the time as had a bonus pay from work, otherwise it would have taken some months to get the cash together so as to afford even the top up amounts, that at £15 per month isn't bad, but works out to be a costly affair in addition to purchasing the dongle package so is not suitable for all incomes!

One of the greatest advantages however of Installing the USB is that the PC aoutomatically recognizes new hardware, you just then have to follow simple instructions to run the programme, so absolutely no knowledge is required of operating systems or liscence key hazards. The mini-disc they provide does nothing more than welcome you to T Mobile broadband, it is not a necessary component you need to run on your PC – I didn't even bother with this as the USB did everything it is designed to do and creates the manager, from which you can access all the basic functions.

~~~~~No connection/Slow connection issues~~~~~

Having read plenty of complaints already about the performance of this dongle, permits me the same right to agree with these customers who, like me, have experienced maddening frustrations regarding the dissapointing results of this simple, yet idle USB that might execute better performance on another planet other than Earth!

The signal strength is always at least between three and four bars, good enough for web browsing activity, yet even though this is the case, it's surprising just how difficult it is to make connection to the Internet. I've had days in which I couldn't connect at all despite uninstalling and re-installing the USB, disconnecting and reconnecting from the manager, closing and re-opening Windows operating system – I'm amazed that my PC has withstood all this activity, so proves that they are built with dynamite endurance.

I'm no computer wizard, though I do have sound knowledge of what can slow your PC down, so have set all the programmes accordingly such as ensuring that web browsing is deleted daily from the Internet options control, third party sharing activated, disc space clean up and defragmentation once a month and even changing the web browser. You would think that that there is a software fault somewhere, lying in ambush that you have do some few hours of detection work, but if you aren't sure about these functions and how to adjust system settings, it is best to read upon them well before attempting to make changes you might not be able to undo if you can't remember the actions you took.
