Not my experience. I've used mobile broadband (Soul on the Optus network using a Huawei E220 usb modem) extensively in Jaunty and Karmic (installed on 2 different laptops - Asus and HP) and it's never let me down. The only issue I had initially was getting the settings correct (number and APN) and once I got that right it has worked flawlessly since.
