MiFi – WiFi – Three
September 30th, 2009 by David

I had an excursion into central London this morning to perv at support Lady Godiva with her naked plinthing.

I took my trusty Apple MacBook Pro and used my 3G MiFi device that I acquired from the Three network recently. I had never used it in anger before as the ’3′ network is poor in Bricket Wood.

It works really well. No need for drivers, no need for wires. It connects wirelessly to the notebook. Connection speed was good, I streamed video from the net, chatted on Twitter and surfed all at the same time.

With this device wireless broadband has come of age. The MiFi put’s a ‘bubble’ of your own personal wireless internet around you, use a laptop, iPod or iPhone or indeed all three at the same time to connect to the web.

It makes an iPod Touch running Skype very close to an iPhone but without the costly monthly subscription.

So far the wireless USB dongles have been less that inspiring, but this raises the game. True wireless for ANY WiFi enabled device.
