I have the exact same one. I'm using it now actually. Honestly it all comes down to what your cell phone reception in the area and what time you use it. I've connected it in the early morning or the middle of the night and hit DSL speeds. However around noon im lucky to plug along at dialup speeds. The biggest problem I have is that it gets SUPER hot whenever its charging, so much so that it becomes a little worrisome. Also about once a month it'll just stop working as they update the network.
