Come back 'dial-up', all is forgiven!

I'll stop trying to help you now...... Proper phone indeed

Anyway..... Being a user of both iPhone AND android, each has their positives and negatives - the reason I asked it that the HTC would have better tolerance in marginal signal areas than the apple.

Seems to me so that if you want reliable broadband there, satellite is the only way to go. Unless you have Vodafone coverage in that area?

i'm on vodafone mobile dongle, getting 3mb but very unstable

Dongle not as good as the little modem, especially indoors in a marginal area. With the modem, you van place it wherever the best coverage is (near an upstairs window eg) and just connect over wifi.

Vodafone, when it's good, is very good - when it's borderline, well.....
