Depends, if you want to be mobile or not. Speed will be higher in 500 C+.

i dont think you can use torrents in datacards as port forwarding is not possible!

cause you wont be able to open ports.. normal http download speeds will be 2mbps ( in most places , again depends on location ) .. do you travel a lot? you use a laptop?

the data card speeds are dependent on the mobile signal strength (since they are wireless connections), distance from the tower and many other factors.
While its advertised to give upto 2 mbps, in reality u will rarely go beyond 1 mbps, at best.

If all you want is a dial-up connection on the go, opt for datacard.....
At present it is only worth that much...........
