question re mobile internet connection

[Rob Dawson]

Not my experience.  I've used mobile broadband (Soul on the Optus
network using a Huawei E220 usb modem) extensively in Jaunty and Karmic
(installed on 2 different laptops - Asus and HP) and it's never let me
down.  The only issue I had initially was getting the settings correct
(number and APN) and once I got that right it has worked flawlessly since.
