Mine has 2 flaps one for card, says micro SD, & one with the ariel symbol & a small round socket under it.

You probably have one of the new dongles; black and shaped like a disposable plastic cigarette lighter. It will be interesting to see if an aerial makes any difference, I imagine it will be just a line wire add-on as the connection is very tiny.

Gordon Bennett, that is fast then?
Mine arrived today, and I have set it up on the laptop, but not on the PC yet.
Mine kept switching from 3G to HSDPA and back again, and I didn't find it any faster than T-mobile 3G on the datacard.
Time will tell.
Jock.

It all depends on where the signal is coming from. Try moving around the house or outside in the Motorhome.

Hi John,
I know what you are saying, but the telephone exchange with mast, is only "a ball kick" away from the house. That's why I was expecting faster speeds, without having to "roam around."
