Andrew 30 Report post Posted January 10, 2007 Anyone using one of these? I realise the only comparison is EvDo-R1 Tcom network which is only avaliable in Auckland. I just wanted some comparison speeds [to perhaps G3 mobile phones] Average latency to flyingfish.co.nz is 120 ms [a fast local server] Average download speed is 700 kb/s Average upload speed is 180 kb/s Reported connect speed 3.6 Mb/s All in all it seems pretty decent. Hardware max connect speed looks to be 3.6 Mb/s suggesting that they will make you buy new hardware for the 7 Mb/s network later this year [that sucks] I have it working in Windoze, OS-X and Linux.

Deftones 0 Report post Posted January 10, 2007 Vodems (which use Vodafone Broadband) will be upgradeable via firmware to the new network, whereas Vodafone 3G Connect Cards won't be. I have an onboard vodafone 3g card on my work laptop. Unfortunately I won't be able to upgrade via firmware, whereas with the vodem you will be able to.
