Is this any good for us going on holiday home or abroad?
D-Link 3G HSPA + USB Adapter DWM -157.
We have been on their website but it's a bit too technical for us.
We usually have problems away from home with wifi. Like only getting it in the bar. We have a dongle but that doesn't work very often. OH thinks this might be the answer, but I'm not sure.
What do you think please.

Hi Caran.
This isn't really my specialist area. (I didn't even have a smartphone until a few months ago, so I'm no expert on mobile technologies).
However, as I see it, that device is really only a 'posh dongle', which is specifically designed to work with the 'improved' version of 4G, known as 'LTE-A'. Given that LTE-A isn't that widely available in the UK yet (and probably not in France either) I'm not sure that it would really give you anything that a standard 4G dongle wouldn't.
If you can get a decent signal on your mobile phone (and you're on a tariff that's not too expensive for data) then it would probably make most sense to either:
(a) use your phone directly for internet access (rather than your iPad) ; or
(b) turn your phone into a mobile hotspot (so that it acts like the router in your home) and connect your iPad to it via WiFi:
