Comparison of mobile broadband device speeds

Hi Everyone

I am looking at comparing 3G Datacards, USB fobs and these new MiFi devices so that we can give some to our sales staff. What I did was run a little test by running the mobile broadband speed tester against each device (I used the same SIM to rule out coverage issues).

I would have thought that, speedwise, they would all be the same, since they are all connecting to the same 3G network, but in reality the 3G datacard was the slowest, with the USB fob and Mifi device roughly twice as fast.

Does anyone know why this is? And would we have expected to see one out of the USB fob or MiFi device being faster than the other?

[In all cases, I was apprently connected to 3G, although only with one or two bars out of five]
