Hi
Do you know when Bell is coming out with their software update so that the Turbo Stick 998 can be used with the Mac Book Pro.
thanks

I had both the Rogers HSPA+ and the Bell HSPA+ sticks. The Bell stick had much better speeds than Rogers, however there appears to be a problem with Bell’s Mac edition software. First it isn’t included on the stick, you have to go download it from a site, secondly, it would either not connect, or when it did, it would crash my Mac. Rogers Stick I had opportunity to test it in major cities across Canada (Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton, Victoria) and I was never able to get speeds above 3.5 with full strength HSPA+ networks. I hope Bell is able to resolve it’s issues with Mac soon.

Just because Telus announced that they are launching their service on November 5th, doesn’t mean Bell is following the same date.

Where in the News Release do you see a date of November 5th? All I have read was November.

@dan31 Good Luck trying to get lower prices. They should really have a system like Europe where they get charged for Speed and not the amount of data. O well… Welcome to Canada!

“Pay through the nose” is a phrase people should get comfortable with if they intend on buying these products. -Read the fine print, you’ve been warned.

Ya great, you can hit your 500meg cap in less than 5 min at full use /cheer. These mobile sticks need to offer normal broadband usage plans Until then I don’t believe they are really useful for the average Internet user. bell charges over 100.00 a month once you download 3 GB.
