Hi all,

I have been experiencing problems with my Huawei E220 with my Macbook Pro. Internet will disconnect every now and then (frequency about 10 minutes apart) while the toolbar will still display the time connected.

I have to restart my computer in order to use it again and the same cycle usually happens. This does not happen on my laptop running Windows 7.

I am wondering if anyone has the same issues or have any advices?

Many thanks in advance.

my office is in Jalan besar. i am using 21mbps mobile bb from m1...

slow like shiat ah...

i am tethering with my DHD which is by starhub....much more faster than m1 21mbps. :s7:

Hi,I am also on M1 7.2Mbps at Jalan Besar Plaza.Which part of Jalan Besar you in?Is your 21Mbps able to get higher speed?Mine will range from 1mbps to 3Mbps.Never exceed that.Should sign up for 4Mbps plan.

I discover for the last few days,M1 has remove the reduced graphic resolution for the mobile broadband.And the speed drop to 1Mbps.


I test the speed using http://www.speedtest.com.sg

call their tech help desk and time to time screenshot your speedtest send to them.

after sometime ask them either let you early terminate or pay lower subscription up to 4mbps

hi, look thru the pages, seems all 3 telcos have got their share of ups and downs. mostly location based.
Looking at the first post M1 seems good for Hougang area. considering to get M1 2mbps plan, any comments/advise? for hougang area, for surfing and streaming of non HD videos. thanks in advance!
