Dangit! You're lucky to be in the HSPA+ trials. :)
I'll be waiting for your news updates!

I still remember how very excited I felt, the first time I got into SCV's cablemodem trials. :s12:

Hope I can get into the future trials for LTE (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3GPP_Long_Term_Evolution) when it hits Singapore. :s22:
Even more crazier bandwidth and speed compared to HSPA+ . =:p

[blitzio]

Do you guys think HSPA+ would be OK for online pc gaming, ping/latency?

Thanks for the update umpimp! Looking forward to the pics.
Videos would be welcome too :D

Tried to search it on Huawei, Google, Bing and Yahoo, but did not find any substantial information on it. :look:

I only got positive search hits on some Swedish and Finnish sites. No pictures, but only mentioned that it can reach 21Mbps.

[umpimp]

i got a max of 7mbps at tampines starhub shop demo station

am lucky can hit 9mbps but it a 21mbps cannot hit above 10mbps abit off
out of their covage area the speed very bad.:s27:

[TonyLee]

why not you try within visible radius of a cellphone base station, just to test if you can get anything close to 21mbps.

[richneo]

its not about a matter of near base station or not

those base station can be connected to a 2mbps leased line rented from singtel

so even if u sit next to the base station with only 1 user connected, you may still not get 21mbps

[umpimp]

why not you try within visible radius of a cellphone base station, just to test if you can get anything close to 21mbps.


The true 21Mbps network they open 3 locations only

i don't hope to get 21mbps but at least should hit above 10mbps :crazy:

[liangtam]

Part of the b/w kenna taken by the tampines mall goers :)

[TonyLee]

haiyaz... can u juz go look for the locations? i'm sure many r dying to know oso.

the loop after the b station is another technical matter. at least need to be certain the actual speed is not too far from the specs.

[purezerg]

not on starhub but on M1. 7.2 unlimited plan.
this is the avg speed i get with my novotel X950D expresscard with 11dbi antenna.

Hi,

Where and how much did you buy your novotel X950D expresscard? Does it come with a flip up antenna to improve reception?

[purezerg]

i bought it for GBP130. it's internal antenna.
my antenna is is around 17.5" long

the x950D is a 850/900/1800/1900/2100 transciever for 2G/3G/3.5G but it's not HSPA+ that does 21mbps thou.

I see. The price is quite close to the Sony Ericsson EC400 card. Which website did you buy it from?
