I mean am I going to have the same quality, with many computers connecting to the DSL at home, and what about the distance will cover the same as home 512 DSL?

Sometimes as slow as dialup. Qnet 512 kbps is always stable. Where are for this device it will vary. The only advantage is its mobility but then again battery reduction ( Not something to worry about ).. overall great product !! My friend own’s this and i noticed the upload speed is inconvenient.

It went up a bit and down a bit but stuck around the 114kb mark for most of the time. Thats faster then my DSL connection. But I think the latency is definitely slower. Will run Quake3 later and compare ping times. oh and today was downloading a 13MB file from gmail at 114kb. It went up a bit and down a bit but stuck around the 114kb mark for most of the time.

As advertised monthly sub is KD 23 I am writting this mail using my New Wnet router.It is great & really fast,that is cause I am south of Kuwait in the chaletes area.The company has wisely started to put the service away from town as this is where the net service is missing.Also two nights ago it worked well in the north ( Abdali ).The disadvantage is that u need electrical outlet,so it is not as “portable” as I thought,but the advantage is that u can connect to many computers.Go for it !
