What does 'appear as a network connection' mean? If I have a laptop, and I buy one of these £24 T-mobile sticks and say £10 credit on it, and plug it in, and open up my browser and type a web address and press enter, will it work?
Also how much webbrowsing would 3 gig represent? Versus how much Iplayer TV show downloading?
Back when I had a 512k link most sites were all text and there was little contention - nowadays, how long might it take to download say a 1 hour TV show with your 'up to 3.6Mb' modem?
