Except the D100 is a crappy piece of..... well... read my review: http://www.mobileindustryreview.com/2008/10/thr...

Mine went back.

Hope the T-mobile unit is better.

My mate has 2 modems with T-Mobile so popped into their shop to buy one of these routers, only to be told that they were only available to him if he took out a third contract! Not good customer service imho.

"Seeing as they are both using the same network, the clear winner has to come down to the numbers at the end of the day."

Journalistic fail!

There's no fail there -- it's all about the numbers :D

T-Mobile and Three have a 3G mast and access equipment sharing deal... that's not "using the same network"!

I know what he means :)

I'm with Dan - firstly, the networks are not yet shared. Trial calls have been made, but widespread integration is not with us yet. That's at least a year away.

Secondly, it's only RAN that is shared - the core networks and internet connectivity is separate.

You can have a stonkingly fast air interface, only to be throttled by a rubbish SGSN or IP layer.

And just because you share RAN, does not in any way, shape or means dictate that separate business entities should or will offer similar or the same devices at the same speed, price or service points.

These days, for 95% of the population, coverage is not an issue. And unless you are on O2, mobile broadband speeds are much of a muchness. Networks will leapfrog each other with £GPP releases, but on the whole, speeds are comparable.

Unless you only get coverage from one network, everything mobile "Comes down to the numbers".
