this is mine speed on SH MaxMobile Ultimate 7.2Mbps plan. i'm using acer aspire 3935 with the given huawei E1750. tested in central area with signal strength of 94%



btw, anyone use the prolink PHS300
3.75G USB HSUPA Modem instead of the huawei devices?... Can it be used on the SH sim card? Saw it in SLS. will it be better or same?...

Yes, other devices can be used, so long you know the configuration. Speed wise is not sure, cos it depends on area and number of users connected to the base station.

Singtel mobile BB is getting from bad to worst. I am using a business plan 2MB, complaining is a pain , CS can tell me full of craps and bulls stories. The qualities of the BB is crawling like max 3Kps for both upload and download in Orchard Road. Singtel cannot even handle normal BB user than why push MIO or even start MIO. The customer service is also very poor. This is also reflects on the service of Singapore,giving others a bad impression. I once met a Korean friend he tells me look you call this fast , have you not been to Korea?

Korea broadband is very fast.I tested the speed and it gives me 40Mbps.And I use the connection in a hotel with free internet.I used speedtest.com.sg and it max out.What is our 100Mbps plan?Do we really get 100Mbps?

I think nowadays only stoopig ppl will buy 2nd hand one.......... A brand new mobile bb modem with starhub prepaid mobile bb sim card the package starhub ish selling at $69 only dirt cheap......

Any idea if they sell even cheaper without the prepaid card? I've got a free 1mbps from starhub with sim, just missing the modem.

not possible, they are telco, u need to use their service to get their subsidized price....

u should know if u go telco shop buy hp without plan, u are paying much higher premium than outside shop.....

the price with prepaid data sim card is way much much lower than outside retail price for sure, i can guarantee that u cannot get any price lower outside for huawei modem........

My SN-BBOM 2Mbps on Speedtest today gave me:

Download = 0.09Mbps
Upload = 0.06 Mbps
Ping = 223ms

This is bad...

And the 3 mobile providers continue their sucking spree...

Isn't there any way for them to add more capacity on their network and backhaul to accomodate the explosive growth in users?

Capacity can't be added over night... Still need to lay cables, need authorities to approve... I long given up mobile broadband at my house area, already been asking them to add a repeater/ base station near my house area because the signal is weak so resulted in poor speeds since 2006/2007 till now. Now my mobile broadband only used at my office.. home uses fixed line BB.

mine was so bad that when i tried to get the reading on speedtest i can't even load and even after waiting for it to load, it like took forever to ping and no results. I gave up and switch off.

Urgh, that's ridiculous.
I think of the 3 telcos, StarHub's seems to be the best.
