Hi

Anyone have any feedback on the PCCW HSPA/Mobile Network Internet Service?

I live in Mid Levels and after trying to upgrade my DSL connection up from 6M to something faster a sales guy called me and tried to sell me on the HSPA Cell Service. It can apparently do 21M. Does anyone have this / can provide feedback? A few questions.

  • What's the real speed
  • What's the latency
  • Does it provide an ethernet interface (to plug into another router) or just USB (and if USB)
  • Does it seem to have traffic shaping or any other kind of download throttling (I seem to have a real downer in performance if i am doing even a tiny amount of BT bandwidth, once i kill it I get the old performance back and it's a much larger improvement than the BT traffic that went away)
  • The guy said it was influenced by the weather, is this really significant?


One thing that was a bit disappointing was they can't kill your old contract to move to this. Still digging...
