I bought the newer 7.2 meg stick, made by Huawai if I've spelt that
right, and think it works very well, it's scarcely slower than my
dad's Talk Talk via- phoneline connection - streamed video and music
play without breaks etc - but I'm puzzled by the software and
Vodafone's website is useless.

When I plug the stick in it prompts to install the software every time
even though it's already installed.

The meter when viewed for time shows an inflated reading, i.e. it'll
say 2 hours and ten minutes when it's two minutes and ten seconds.

Clicking on the link to online bill leads nowhere of any use.

When you look at the download/upload times the speed is changing
constantly, 'up and down like a you-yo' as me dad would say. Maybe
I've not understood what this is doing. The display also flips
between 3g and 3G+ a lot.

Any other tips or observations about this bit of kit from people
who've been using it longer are welcome.

Thanks in advance.
