Ouch! That's dire mate.

Even if AIS only reaches half the speeds they claim (which is quite likely as they always advertise best case scenarios and potential speeds rather than actual speeds) you'd still see a significant improvement. To put it in context 42mb/s is 43008b/s.

If it's anything like the set-up in the UK each 3G dongle would be locked to a specific network so you wouldn't be able to pick and choose once you've bought one and would have to buy another to switch networks.
