Well...if it connects at 3G and you want to use your data allowance....then thats the best your going to get....a 3G usb dongle isnt going to go any faster  :y

TBH i have a voodoo 3G dongle for my netbook and its acceptable fast enough  :y

The data provided on your plan is purely for use on the phone.  Tether it to a PC, and your service provider will take a dim view. It will be in the T&Cs that you are not allowed to do that ;)

As long as the data isnt hammered and just used for web browsing, i wouldn't have thought the operator would, either notice or be bothered. :-/
