Mobile Broadband
I use Vodafone VMCLite. This involves plugging a dongle into a USB port and voila! instant networking. I can even surf on the beach with my laptop.
 I am about to change my provider as Vodafone refuses to let me use Skype. We have family overseas and they keep asking us to get on board. My question. I can't find any uninstall feature for Vodafone, just a folder in MyDocuments labeled VMCLite containing a few .dat files with headings like Inbox, Outbox etc. Tried looking at them with Notepad but could not see any readable text. I am wondering if Vodafone did anything to the registry that I need to take care of before I plug in the new dongle. The problems we face today are because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by those who vote for a living. - ANON |

RE: Mobile Broadband
Okay. I have some free time this Sunday afternoon. I will go ahead and plug in the new network dongle and see what happens.
If you don't see me on the board again before tomorrow you will know I am in deep doo-doo.

RE: Mobile Broadband
A bit late, but I do not believe that the Vodafone dongle would preclude you from using another one from another ISP.
Let us know, OK. I know you think you understand what you thought I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant! |

RE: Mobile Broadband
On line with the new system. Call them selves 3. (three) I think they own the 3G network in the UK. Took three reboots before it settled down.
http://www.speedtest.net/ says I am a mite slower than my previous setup but speed is not my priority, reliability and service is what I look for. Will check out Skype next. Have to email one of my overseas contacts to synchronise timing. The problems we face today are because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by those who vote for a living. - ANON |

RE: Mobile Broadband
My new mobile broadband seems to have settled down. Not dropping connections any more. Skype loaded fine and tested OK.
One problem, on my previous system I usually averaged about 700KB download a month. Now I am getting warnings I have used over 800KB in three weeks! I simply don't believe it. I notice more disk activity but this new system does not display the little traffic windows on the task bar so I can't tell when line activity is taking place. Convenient, eh? Anyone know of a simple internet traffic monitor that will keep a simple log of traffic flow while on line?

RE: Mobile Broadband
Wow! There are a LOT of monitors out there!
Am trying this one: Bandwidth Meter Pro 2.6 build 629 Download file just over a meg. Installation VERY fast. So far looks like what I need. Problem is I only get 30 days trial use. If I like it enough I will pluck up courage to see how much. The problems we face today are because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by those who vote for a living. - ANON |
