Well I didn’t think they could improve on the older (second generation) Three MiFi, but I was wrong!
This Huawei E586looks like sex on a stick! don’t you think? 😉
It now comes with a nice little cradle for docking the MiFi and is much faster as it uses HSPA+
Quoted speeds:
- Maximum Download Speed: Up to 21.6 Mbps
- Maximum Upload Speed: Up to 5.76 Mbps
The PAY AS YOU GO price has been slightly increased over the older MiFi:
I think the 12GB deal is a good option (if you can afford it) as it works much better over the year if you only use a few gig one month and nothing in other months (i.e. holiday periods).
If you need mobile broadband data every month then take a look at the MiFi contract options from Three.
I’m going to replace my slow home broadband for the 15GB per month package at £18.99
Does it have gps built in this time?
As we chatted on Google+ … No, it doesn’t. For others, further chat about this and GPS can be found here: https://plus.google.com/116345236263784694803/posts/2QXyxE8VHEa🙂
I am new to all this MiFI but have just purchased an ipad 4. As i am also a motorhomer will the Huawei E586 MiFi 12gb PAYG be ok?
Thanks, Lynda
Hi Lynda. You would be OK with the cheaper E5331 Value MiFi if you wanted to save on the device …Â http://bit.ly/U4U2gz
12GB PAYGO would be fine for a year of casual surfing and emails – depending on how many times a year you plan to go away! but at least you would be able to top up if you did run out.
Hope that helps
