Italy: Options for heavy internet usage for a month

It's a software/hardware problem, it's not a problem with coverage, as far I can understand. On Linux (Ubuntu) you just use the network manager to set up a mobile connection. On Ubuntu there are already all the settings for all major operators, including Wind. There's really nothing to do, extremely straightforward.

If at lake Como your E61i works with Wind on 3G it means the coverage is good, while your usb dongle has some problems. Wind has some cheap usb-dongles including a sim with credit.
