Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Few things with any mobile carrier actually work as advertised. This one does. The speed of the Rev A network even with a relatively weak signal is very fast and rivals wifi connections. If you're sick of paying for wifi access fees and want something that works just about anywhere in every computer you own, look no further.
In fact latency times are so low that I can use remote desktop and other applications that require a fast response time. It's just as fast as its PC card equivalent and gives you the flexibility to use it on any PC.
The best part of the entire deal for me is the Mac compatibility. It works great on my Mac Book (even in Leopard) and was a breeze to install.
