Support fromVodaphone is next to useless. I am quite sure there are some simple tests one could run to narrow the problem down (Like pinging stuff).Was thinking of getting one of those boxes: please advise how it goes. Otherwise, back to 02: deals aren't as good but reception is betterWow that looks like a really easy way of running up huge bills!
How so?The Voda box is a cell base in it's own right - however rather than use Voda's own network for the backhaul, it uses your own broadband... And it's not a lot of usage - unless you sit using 3G data on your phone rather than via Wi-Fi! you regsiter your numbers and up to 4 phones can connect at any time.
They're 50 quid though, so you need to be comitted to using vodafone to buy one, I reckon.
The only on-going bill you'll get is electricity to run it and possibly broadband if you go over your data allowance, but not everyone ties themselves into a 1GB a month package nowadays...
