> 3G is a "best effort"... only there when available.... I have one in
Ostend... but not in Iseghem...
also speed is "locked" to 512kbit by Base.... Mobile Vikings can't give you
more speed...

Don't  expect to download an 1 gigabyte ISO within 8 hours with that
speed...
You could check 1 gmail session in "basic html" ... or in special "mobile
version" found on smartphones...

Basicly the 3G offered by Proximus & Mobistar is still better in
"availability" AND "speed"...
but not necessarlly in price (they still think 50mbyte is enough?)

Other solution:
Belgacom Internet users get a free sim card to have "3G Weekend" offering...
it's only limited in time (weekend) and size (512mbyte).... but you get a
lot of speed...

no idea when you pass the 512mbyte marker...
