Large Downloads on Mobile Broadband?

[radderfire]

Is mobile broadband OK for doing large downloads or does it tend to cut-out? What has your experience been?

Thanks

If your stationary you'll probably be alright. Really depends on what the signal is like in your location. Use a download manager just to be sure.

Id be more concerned about the cost of downloading a large file over mobile BB!

Depends how large you mean... most providers have a useage policy that would mean you'd hit the limit after one proper large download (or they'd charge you a bomb for overage). Actual speeds and connection stability depend on a lot of aspects but even in a high speed network area with a good signal don't expect speeds much over 60KB/s sustained and I'd use a download manager for anything over 10-20MB.
