we roam user here, mabagal sya if you use the gprs/edge card, if you get gprs signal its around 60 kbps ave (parang dial up), if its edge connection, mga double (120kbps, slower parin compare to dsl lines). the only thing that its great is, its wireless and you dont need to be close to a wifi hotspot, but the speed is really slow.
pldt has since launch a hsdpa card (3.5g) and its speed on the ave is around 256 kbps, this is according to the sales rep i asked.
you may want to try globe's visibility, i heard it can do 384 - 512 kbps easily, its also on hsdpa. if you are going to use it here in metro manila i think this is the brand for you since globe's 3g signal outside of metro manila is spotty at best. (if you dont have 3g signal even on a hsdpa card you will surf at the speed of gprs or edge whatever signal is available)
for the desktop use, i dont know, but i guess you can go to greenhills and ask if they have those usb pci external slot.
hope this helps.

weroam user din ako for 15 months na....
kung dito ako sa makati & parañaque areas, naka EDGE ang connection ko, sa quezon city and manila, naka GPRS ang connection ko. other parts of the country like baguio, pangasinan, zambales, subic, batangas, rizal, laguna, tagaytay, nueva ecija are all GPRS connected.
matagal na rin ako naghanap ng PCMCIA card adaptor para magamit for desktop, pero wala akong mahanap. ang ginawa ko eh bumili ako ng hub (with wifi) tapos naka-network yung laptop ko & desktop pc ko sa bahay. yung laptop ko nilagyan ko ng proxy software tapos yung desktop pc naman inayos ko lang yung proxy settings sa internet explorer. minsan nakiki connect din yung kapatid ko na naka laptop kya konting ayos lang sa internet explorer settings nya, nakaka-access na rin cya.
i'm eyeing on the HSDPA/EDGE/GPRS service worth P1,700/month. currently P1,200/month ako sa GPRS/EDGE. :D

May 16th, 2007 11:58 AM #8+1 ako sa mga posts on weRoam users speed
there are usb to pcmcia peripheral devices pero sa ebay lang ako nakakita
locally you'll have to look around
the hsdpa card or usb dvice are slowly being rolled out by smart/pldt
while globe i think is just offering theirs for corporate users
you can purchase an unlocked 3G HSDPA card (sierra 875 from ebay Php7k shipped to you) and use your 3G activated smart sim (Php 10 /30 mins) as an alternative
btw u can use both data and voice funtions (using a headset mic setup)Last edited by rlp1099; May 16th, 2007 at 12:01 PM.

IIRC they're with AVID. The reported numbers in the TG article are from CAMPI.
