Currently using M1 with the router. I think only M1 is offering with a 
router. Hope the rest will follow. So just using a normal ethernet 
cable. So not very mobile. Three of my friends are using it mobile on 
Windows and are ok. Not great speed but get the job done.

M1 at UBI techpark is bad. Especially at night. It was ok at Singapore 
Expo. Never reached the 1800kbs speed. The last I checked, got about 
400kbs. Better to just get the 346kbs speed plan. Cheaper and pay for 
the speed you will only get anyway.

The speed, I think, really depends on location.
