and an additional tip bro.... kung may 3G physical signal indicator yung phone, check mo kung intermettent wherein minsan lalabas ang 3G indicator, minsan wala. that is how you gauge the strength of the 3G signal in your location.

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.

guys, for using the cp as a modem, will there be a difference in the connection speed (3G) if im using a smart prepaid card vs a postpaid? pleased to hear thanks

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.
