PLDT WeRoam Nationwide Wireless Internet!!

**Ungas** · September 6th, 2005 08:45 AM

Kung lagi naman plugged sa AC source yung laptop ok na Celeron M processors with 1MB L2 cache. IBM R50e 1834MA9 yata ang kasama sa package, DOS OS lang yan. Itong IBM R50e 1834PD2, bundled with WinXP Pro, same specs.

Nung initial offer ng WeRoam packages Neo notes lang ang laptop brand nila. So I opted to buy from other source. Kaya card lang kinuha ko to avail their service. Pag GPRS nakailaw sa Aircard max speed mo is about 33-40kbps only. Swertihan sa EDGE connections which rises to 130-140kbps. Not much speed but what they're offering you is unlimited wireless coverage (as long as there is Smart with GPRS signal). Mas maganda package ng service nila ngayon since unlimited na rin ang WiFi usage sa Airborne Access hotspots. Not like before add on 500 on top of 2,000 MSF bill.

No, but your 9500 has a built-in WiFi, what you need is hotspot area wherein your communicator could connect.

i was gonna get ang the weroam package with ibm laptop pero hindi ko ginusto yung mga specs/package ng laptop nila except for the x40, which i already have nd too expensive for my use. got an ibook instead. mag-setup na lang ako ng wireless router dito sa bahay.

darating kaya ang panahon na mas bibilis pa dyan ang speed ng weroam?

Don't believe what the icon indicates. Yung actual connection ko GPRS lang with max speed at around 40kbps according to website speed tests. Sabi sa icon ng WinXP 220kbps pero yung speed same output pa rin. Kaya off na yung icon nun then I just rely on Aircard icon mas accurate kung naka GPRS or EDGE.

knight23::: Actually the X40 model might be cheaper if you do the accounting for locked in 12month period. I got my lappy from other source with almost the same specs but price past the 100k mark. Then maybe, it's a Lenovo mark that made it cheaper?

what the difference of EDGE VPN and EDGE Internet? mas mahal ng P500 ang monthly fee ng EDGE Internet.

and OK ba ang mga IBM na laptops?

Pag VPN (Virtual Private Network), connect ka sa sariling network to access internet. Think of it as your own channel/tunnel to communicate with your main server. Much more secured between laptop & server communications. To browse websites, you will have to go thru your own server (depending on its speed) Laptop> VPN> Server> Internet.

Pag Internet, independent internet connection. Laptop> Internet. But limited to GPRS = 40kbps or EDGE = 140kbps.

pano ulit? kapag VPN, dapat meron akong existing internet connection sa bahay like yung PLDT DSL ko now. ito ang magiging server ko? pano magcoconnect dito ang VPN?
