Hotspots are only really for WiFi - which I'm not using.

- because I was already using one before on PAYG and have a Backup router that takes one.

I have added the full blown Vodafone Access software from their site to force it to HSDPA otherwise it seems to spend its life on GPRS - which is so slow.

As long as you force it to UMTS HSDPA then its really quick and very usable.
Wifi is a different entity - its the same as a wireless router - but a public routers in hotspots.
GPRS uses 2G GSM phone network, HSDPA used 3G UMTS network.
Not all 3G networks support HSDPA everywhere, especially out in the sticks.
Not all areas have 3G coverage at all.
Wifi is very limited (100 yards) the same as a wireless router.
