    people who have a bell internet stick..is it worth upgrading?

    I got a letter in the mail saying I can upgrade my internet stick to a newer version if i sign a 2 year contract and get 2 months unlimited bandwidth. Has anyone else done this? Is it worth the upgrade? Seems like the newer one gets faster speeds but I mainly use it outside of the city so I am not sure what to expect. upgrading from U760 to U998.

    Has anyone else tried the mifi bell is offering? mobile wireless router? I might go that way too but it seems less convient for on the go travel however it would come in handy at the cottage when both I and the gf want to use our laptops at the same time.

      You lost me at Bell

      The U998 is dependant on an area that has the HSPA+. Otherwise, it'll just be as fast as the U760.

          What do you suggest rather than bell? They seem to have more coverage than rogers. Anyways, if i upgrade they give me 2 months of unlimited which comes in handy as this summer is when I use it most however I don't want it if the speed/reception isn't as good as the U760 if not in the city.

              The 998 is a great stick, I used one alongside a couple others and it got the most reliable reception. Make sure you aren't going to manitoba or saskatchewan though
