Are they any good, or crappy??? I am thinking about getting one because my new job involves a lot of long train journeys.

I did have a Vodafone dongle, however did not find it any use on the train journeys that I travelled.

I often did Chester (N.West) to London, as soon as I left the station I would lose signal straight away. However some friends from the south of England do not have any problem with their Vodafone dongle.

Sorry, im afraid this is not much help.

Maybe worth taking a look at the coverage maps to see if the majority of your journeys will be covered:

My Dad had one like this:

It was useful when our home internet went down, but for journeying it is unnecessary now because so many trains have WiFi and for it's intended purposes it was pretty crap. Pretty, but crap.

OK, so is it any good just to use at home??

I did not have any problems using at home (as long as the coverage map shows signal at your home address)
