Hey guys, this is Matt Heads.

This is going to be a video review on the AT&T 3G network card. I'm not exactly sure what model I have, um, but I have installed Sierra Wireless Watcher 2.2.1, and um, it's very useful. You can see right here it just connects to the 3G, and you can click connect or disconnect—pretty simple.

Um, it's also good it came with this PDF manual. Here’s a picture of it. The reason I have this is because I'm on vacation, and right now I'm in the car, and I'll be in the car for five more hours, or I've been—I'm going to be in the car for five hours or so today.

So, I'm using this AT&T 3G card for internet access. You can see here’s my webmail. Um, it does in fact work pretty fast. Um, 3G—I have iChat here—but um, 3G is very um, slow for things like video chats. But I find that a YouTube video loads quite fast.

Let me just go to YouTube and watch it. Look, so YouTube, um, actually it's taking a long time to load now. I might be on EDGE at this point in the car ride. But right here, so YouTube's loading up.

So, YouTube is pretty um, pretty fast. Like, I can watch a video if I want to, and I can just click a video, and it’ll start watching very slowly. Occasionally I will switch over to EDGE um, by default because um, there will be no 3G coverage in a specific place.

But anyway, so this is just a um, a review video on this 3G card. Um, you do, if you get this, want to install Sierra Wireless Watcher, but it's useful.

So here’s just the PDF that came with it—instruction manual, etc.

So I thank you for watching. Mac 801, subscribe and goodbye.
