3 UK Sold out of USB HSDPA Modems in 3 Weeks

The launch of 3.5G USB modems from Three UK is a huge commercial success, with the first allocation being completely sold out within the first three weeks after the modem went on sales on September 4th.

The USB modem is a private branded Huawei E220 that boosts a maximum 3.6Mbps and offers Mac/PC support. The bandwidth is obviously enough for most web tasks, but Three UK's data allowance for its 25-pound package tops at 7GB after which you have to live with the 10 pence per MB.

From my experience, all images all undergo some form of crazy compression on the server before they are sent to your browser. So expect severe picture quality degradation.
