starcomms is not reliable. very inconsistent.

And MTN 3G will not last me 2 days !

kai! starcomms just de frustrate me this holidays. every 5minutes e go disconnect.

Mine has been misbehaving also,i thought it was from my modem.The stuff is very very annoying.

Is this for real? I m seeing screen shotz of download rates of over 120kb/s. Well i'm using the Izap express card and the max speed i get here in Abuja is 35kb/s and thats with Internet Download Accelerator. How are you guys doing it? Abeg help a brova out?
Happy Hols y'all.

^^I'm equally shocked at the dizzying speeds I've seen here. I'm using a [b]shit [/b]starcomms zte card and the avg download speed is around 8-10kb/s with a DAP accelrator and I live in the evdo rich Garki region of abuja.
I've been thinking of upgrading to the izap, but I'm not so sure because I don't trust starcomms. When I first signed-on with them they promised I was going to get broadband like speeds, but it seems the problem was the shit card they sold me. I figured this when some buddy of mine who uses a sierra wireless card came over to my crib and his connection was way faster than mine.

So guys I need ur help on this one, is it worth givin the izap a shot or should i consider the mtn 3.5g, I also hear ipnx is quite good?

Are you using the USB stuff?

i use the data card, just bought it last week. still hoping it will increase
or is there any software i can use to boost

You can try their iboost stuff they have been advertising,it is on their website. It gave my system a blue Screen twice!.I was asking cos my USB stuff is also Novatel

does i boost works for evdo, i taught it was for only 1x

am posting this for the 3rd time

am enjoying the services provided by starcomms, and to think i live in the outskirts of lagos(abule egba).
i must say though that the signal fluctuates in yaba and surulere so they need to step up their game in these areas.

the evdo signal is great with speeds of up to 210kb/s at night(am serious,dude!).i use the sierra wireless card n my friend that uses the zte card n never once have we complained,except when we take it to yaba.v.i is the best spot as you can get maximum speed even in the morning.

N.B. Starcomms don't have PCMCIA for EVDO again, they now offer Express Card. This is far cheaper solution for who cannot afford the INITIAL cost of USB
And it's still NEGOTIABLE.
