In fact, users on the Verizon Web site have criticized the UML290 for frequently dropping a connection.Though it was predated by a, the Pantech UML290 USB modem - one of for Verizon's network - has finally been blessed with an official Mac OS driver. But as always, I might just be in a location with excellent The LTE network is now in 38 cities and 60 airports.Ĭertainly this bodes well for phone performance on LTE (the first due is the HTC Thunderbolt). Monthly data plans are $50 for five gigabytes or $80 for 10 gigs. The UML290 lists for $250, but costs $100 after a rebate with a new two-year contract. In one test we got 3.28 Mbps up, which was faster than we got from the hard-wired cable modem. Upload speeds averaged about 2.90 Mbps, in between the promoted 2 to 5 Mbps network speed. The hard-wired cable modem was only about 2 Mbps faster The average speed over five trials was 12.74 Mbps. The fastest download was 13.86 megabits per second (Mbps) – Verizon advertises a top speed of 12 Mbps. Not only was it fast, in some tests it was faster than the top speed claimed Once it was up and running, we used the Ookla Speedtest site to clock the network speed. I didn’t have high hopes at that point (there is a Mac driver as well). Using a roughly five-year-old Dell Inspiron running Windows 7 in a neighbor’s basement, setup took about an hour, installing drivers, updating drivers and reinstalling. Larger than average, but certainly not deal-breaking bulk. The UML290, which plugs into a USB port, is a little chunkier than most 3G dongles, at 3.5 inches by 1.4 inches by 0.6 inches, and 1.8 ounces.
