- it will be interesting to see what your experience of the speeds is. You are definitely right on one thing - the modem is ultra sensitive to location.

Paul,

Is this O2 modem a huawei e220 ?
If it is do you have any issues with it and your mac ?
mine is a Tele2 branded one (sweden) and my macbook locks up periodically.

I have the 3 HSDPA modem and I found it to be pretty useful (currently on loan to another TSSGer who's just moved house).

Signal seemed pretty solid everywhere I've used it, never hit speeds higher than what you'd expect on a 1MBit DSL line -- but that's impressive enough for me sitting in a car at 100km/h.

The 3 SIM I have is configured not to use a PIN, which is why I think you need to run the O2 software (might be wrong on that though).

There's details on configuring it for Linux too here: http://the.taoofmac.com/space/Huawei/E220
