I really don't understand my Neighbor has Claro Internet movil in Puerto rico same company same owner he is flying up 3.3 MB at peak hours i used centennial go internet when i am outside my apt and i could reach up to 5mb and i have broadband Onelink in my home well i have been able to reach speeds up to 14 mb for 34.95 with the digital package. i don't understand how the Dominican consumer puts up with this crap with codetel/claro. In regards to which is better i read a comparison made by Wired magazine which says that CDMA technology is better for data speeds and voice clarity. Why GSM has become the world standard because is a less costly technology and easy to create bigger networks without investing so much in equipment. GSM was born when Vodafone ( Worlds biggest cellphone provider) got together with the people at T-mobile and Nokia and the created GSM paltforms in 1998 by the end 2000 most of Europe used GSM instead of TDMA. Then theEuropean comission of communication made it mandatory for all providers in Europe to adopt GSM technology Vodafone is all over the world, africa, Australia you name it they are there so gsm spread all over, also for portability GSM sim card system complies qith European commission open policy because 90% of all europeans have prepaid plans or full paid plans were they paid a Quantity and provides them with a certain amount of minutes or unlimited depending on price. Like in Europe or anywhere else people have the choice of not buying the phone if they already have a GSM capable phone all the due is paid a Prepaid sim card plan which assigned them a number and they are rolling they need to renew it every month or they loose their number. In the U.S CDMA was invented by Qualcomm is 100% digital so Verizon, sprint, Alltel and smaller regional providers use cdm because it provides a more voice quality as well as data and at the same time they continue with a Racket of the contracts and locked phones. Verizon wireless in the U.s got the highest network standards of any provider in the world fastest wireless speeds and voice clarity follow by Alltel. T-mobile GSM provider got 3erd as well as AT&T the largest provider in the U.S GSM also got fourth. The only U.S company to switch from TDMA to GSM in the U.S is AT&T. Verizon, Sprint, Alltel are planing to keep their CDMS 3g networks because of customer satisfaction
