woooooohooooooooooo its the new year… A new start perhaps?

Well old habits die hard… i’ve spent alot in the sales so have no money for the rest of the month.

2008 is gonna be an exciting one as i think i’m gonna be traveling alot this year.

Sat I went to have dinner with Jessi, Caroline and Mai. Ended up in putney at Hare and Tortoise

Starters were quite nice but my main let it down… I had a Chicken katsu curry which was quite spicy. A bad choice from myself i guess but normally chicken katsu in other places is never that spicy.

Afterwards dinner went cinema to watch a movie.

I’ve been lucky enough to try the latest mobile craze USB Internet modems.

These are the ones you see advertised by the carphonewarehouse where the internet is provided by a mobile network i.e T-mobile.

Anyway I managed to try out T-mobile, Three and Orange.

Now if you are thinking to get one of these don’t be fool by the adverts promising speeds of 1mb etc. You might find you will only get speeds of 56kb as you maybe in a weak 3g area (and will only pick up gprs). You’ll be very surprised there are places in london where 3G coverage is crap.

Anyway after trying them all out, I was quite impressed with Three’s reception. The 3g signal was often available and the price is the cheapest out of the lot.

T-mobile, i found the signal to be patchy, orange was even worst. In london the orange signal was ok… getting a 3g signal even in a hotel in Heathrow was crap and if you’re in bristol just give up… its gprs all the way.
