Hello folks, I need some info regarding speed of a wireless verizon laptop cellular 3G (or better generation card) internet service (like internet flash via wireless card in a laptop).
Let me put it into better and simpler words.
I have a person who uses a laptop card to connect to centennial internet service from anywhere in santiago. Its always comnnected via a card that slides into side of laptop. he pays 2300 pesos / month for a 128 KBPS speed. Now when I actually tested his setup, I had realized that the speed was actually slower than my 56k dialup. 128 kps was much slower in real life than a dial up. I am very disappointed to see that. Now I have just visited a verizon store and they have offered me a price of 1700 pesos / month for a 512 kps service (via a laptop wireless card). They insist that the service is just as fast as any regular DSL service that you get via a digital line at home.
I want to know if anyone has tested a setup like this and see if the speed is, indeed, fast as a conventional digital internet flash line?
Please, no links to verizon websites. i want to hear from someone who has actually seen or tested this 512 kps setup on a laptop. thanks.
