Hi, I use t-mobile (Huawei dongle) on laptops that 8.04 and up on. I have no real issues using it bar one. To get 30 days of broadband at the fixed £15 (3Gb download limit, but allows to to browse even when exceeded and blocks downloads between 4pm and midnight) you have to SMS from the device after purchasing the top up which makes you reliant on t-mobiles Windows software. :-( Regards Phil
