I have had two usb hubs die and a hub on my macbook as well. there was an update from huawei to sort this out but all it seemed to do was reduce speeds (disconnected when speed went up to about 4MBps) down to less than 1 MBps. I will send you a link to it as soon as I have it again, if you are interested discovered that the only systen that I can get to work with tese models of modem is Linux with any degree of success. windows not as good and Mac gets it's USB blown.

Resources: Apparently the software that comes with the 02 modem does not accurately track data usage, I’ve yet to notice but Shane O’ Sullivan has written a tool which logs in to the 02 website and gets your 100% accura....

From fast sites consistently download speeds are in the area of 15mb/minute. Up to you, but if you can (almost) legally do this then you should because it works great.

The solution here is for Ireland's pathetic broadband carriers to get their act together and wire up my apartment. I'm not sure where you're going with the Apple thing, it's a bit unclear. If you're suggesting that mobile broadband isn't ideal, I completely agree. Unfortunately it's the only option available to me at the moment.

My suggestion to you would be to set up a long range directional antenna link with a friend who has wired broadband.This will work over a very long distance. This is easiest to do configure if one point is elevated. It’s this kind of BS that has Apple thinking they sould kicked off the iPhone bandwagon.
