Adam, re your request for recommended service provider as well as the hardware... [this is my own experience] I started with and have stuck with "3". During 10.04 days their supplied dongle worked well. I have since been upgraded in both GByte allowance and supplied dongle. Verdict: - the *original* dongle was good with bog standard 10.04. - the *current* dongle *is* good with 12.04 [as in -out of the box] Be wary though, the original won't connect on 12.04, the latest won't work on 10.04 [kernel drivers difference I think]. If you are on 12.04 ensure [if you go with "3" as your service], that the dongle is the E367 - if so - no probs... works out of the box. Overall - whichever of the two I used [whether at home or travelling around] I never had any difficulty getting a reliable & fast [enough] connection. [No - I do not work for "3" and have no reason to promote them - other than the above facts]. Good luck whatever your choice. -- Cheers, Bill B.
