Nope. One time I went to a hotel that had pay-to-use Internet, so I plugged in my grandpa's Sprint cell adapter and after a few initial setup dialogs it was working OOTB.

Nope, it's been rocksolid for a while now.

I have been in Australia the past 3 months using an optus pre-paid mobile broadband usb stick, no problems at all...

Mobile broadband can be a bit flaky regardless of OS.

It worked for me. The hardware was some generic Huawei 3g dongle given out by the provider. I just plugged it in, it asked me for the pin, it established the connection, and when I opened the browser, a page came up explaining how to set up the connection properly, which I did.

Most 3G dongles work without problems

BUT All 3g Wlan dongles work flawlessly.
That is because ubuntu sees those 3g dongles as just another normal wlan-internet

I can tether my phone just fine. But my carrier seems to think I should pay more for that capability so I don't do it.

I have an EVDO usb dongle, it works fine since 9.10 although in 11.04 I have to plug it out and plug it back in after login otherwise Network-Manager can't detect it.

I hope that this small regression will get fixed in 11.10.

Before 9.04 I had quite a few problems. Since then - flawless and fast. With Huawei devices, ZTE devices and Android HTC phone tethering.
