That’s not to say the speed is bad, this is exactly what’s expected from the 21Mbps HSPA+ the carriers deployed (also comparable, as far as I know, to speeds reached by the same technology in European countries and the U.S.). The fastest my phone could reach was 2.46Mbps which is pretty good for a 3 years old phone, though I doubt you could reach more than 4Mbps on one of the newer smartphones, and that’s if you’re lucky. Starting the second day though, things changed. Indoors, 3G signal was as real as a unicorn. I couldn’t get the signal locked in for more than mere seconds, after which my Nokia 5800 XM (spare the jokes) would display 3G instead of 3.5G (indicative of HSPA+, otherwise branded as 3.9G by mtc), then directly jump back to EDGE which, to add insult to injury, would simply go on-hold and refuse to connect me to the world wide web. I’ve hopped on 3G the day it became available (for mtc touch prepaid), so here’s the lay-down of how it went after one week of use.ĭuring the first 24 hours of subscribing, I really had my doubts.
