Combine speed & coverage with a generous daily data allowance of 143MB, we’re confident you will be satisfied. Also note that the daily data allowance is an average, which provides you with the flexibility to use more data on one day and less on another. So long as you keep within your overall allowance for the rental period.
For example, 7 days rental includes 1GB of data. You may use 250MB on the first day and spread the remaining 750MB out over the next 6 days.
As a guide, 1GB of data allows you to*:
- Surf the web for up to 100 hours, and
- Send and receive around 1000 emails, and
- Watch 25 two-minute video clips, and
- Download 50 music files.
| Plug & Play software - no CD installation |  |
| Daily data allowance of 143MB** | |
| Peaked at 7.2mbps download & 5.7mbps upload speeds*** | |
| Microsoft Windows 2000/xp/ Vista | |
| Macintosh Compatible - Mac OS X 10.5 or later | |
* Usage guide only, based on the following assumptions: Email sent or received 25KB, web browsing per hour 4MB, music download 4MB per track & 2 min video 8MB.
** During the rental period, you can go over the allowance on one day & under on the next, as long as you keep within your total data allowance for the rental period.
*** Actual speeds will be less. Speeds may vary due to congestion, distance from the cell, local conditions, hardware, software and other factors.
