I'm thinking about getting one of these "unlimited" internet
USB-Dongles @ swisscom, and I'm wondering if there are any
big technical/performance difference between the 3 models from
the shop:

- Unlimited USB Modem AC885 (sierra)
- Unlimited USB Modem E172  (huawei)
- Unlimited USB Modem E220  (huawei)

It seems that the last one is the oldest, but the other two are
quite similar according to the tech specs.  Any bad/good "live" 
experience with these models?     It would be used under OS X 
(all have support for that OS) and possibly linux.

regards,
Olivier
