hmmmmm im a bit un-impressed with the Voda sure signal thing, we had Voda reps at cpw yapping about it and they seemed to not understand it them selves.

this is what the Voda reps said was its main points of interest.

1/ the device creates a mini tower in your home
2/ the phone auto connects via basic gsm signal switching - so no user interaction is needed
3/ the gsm signal is routed through your home broadband
4/ you will need a miniumum of 1MB home broadband connection
5/ its a perfect solution for people who want the internet in a low Vodafone coverage area

now my problem with all this is

1/ how strong is the signal it creates in the home i.e. SAR value, if towers within 1/2 a mile of a school are deemed dangerous, why would we put one in our kitchens?
2/ if there is no user interaction then anyone else on Voda could connect to your Sure Signal station and access your internet, just by standing outside.
3 & 4/ fair enough
5/ wait a minute?? if you have low vodafone signal where you live, WHY would you buy a Sure Signal device thats uses your home broadband to access Vodafone's mobile internet services, just use your original internet connection.

We gave the Voda reps a real hard time with their pitch about this, especially their comment that Sure Signal 'guarantees' a minimum 3.6mb internet connection, we asked what if your home internet connection is only say 1.5mb/2mb? hes answer was 'its like magic' it boosts the signal to 3.6mb - which is rubbish how can a Sure Signal device boost a internet connection whos max speed is 2mb to 3.6mb?

hahahah so, no I will not be getting this

FYI if your interested the price is gonna be about £50 from what the Voda reps said
