    on and off nga yung 3G signal indicator kahapon but maybe because its raining. i'm trying anyway a tweak to speed up modem connections mamaya and will post my result.

    nope. there would be no difference even if you are on post or pre paid. after all you are still using one network.

    had a good connection after some tweaks. its like i'm in the lan network in our office but the connection speed stated in the mobile networking wizard is showing the same speed... 115.2kpbs. doesn't matter to me though as long as the actual is fast. wag lang nga lalakas ang ulan kc nawawala ang 3G signal... one more thing i'm using firefox o kaya opera as browser bagal kc ie.

    although you can still tweak the browser (e.g. remove caches, temporary files, etc...) the 115.2 kbps that you have is because of your area.... mukhang sagad na.

    and imho, mas mabilis ang firefox kesa IE...

    mukhang sagad na nga bossing.

    O.T. yep... i'm a firefox user after learning of its speed and the tab browsing (which ie7 copied). i'm now trying opera browser which has a cool feature... the speed dial. mukhang mas mabilis ito sa firefox.

    i visited globe and asked if they can offer their services in our area kaso puno na raw yung sa area namin, so does this mean we dont have a chance of using globe? so limited lang pala pwede nilang iserve

    Kahit talo ang Globe sa overall sales,
    panalo sila sa reliability and service. Ang galing!

    I have no complaints about my ISP. Overspeeding nga, e.
    Ang problema ay yung bottleneck sa Yehey.
