Men forget about the rotten starcomms. I mailed them for more than 4 days they cannot get back to me. They are nonesense as fer as am concerned. Their module is the costliest. Do they not know we are in Naija. Let them go to Chine and produce millions of it and make it cheap.Thats how USA does. Zoom mobile module is 10k and they are fast. So whats special about the costly one of starcomms. The only thing is that ZOOM Mobile doesn't brouse from North to south you have to room. Thats their kpalaba shaa. I hated MTN but when I mail starcomms and they did not mail me back I have to go and buy MTN E170. Men it is serving me any where there is mtn service. Even in the most remote village. What again if not serving me anywhere. Please do not go for starcomms, their customer service is -100%. How can you invest where you will not be cared for. Again you must take your computer to them and join a cue that goes from mile 2 to Oshodi with causes and bluffing from the useless workers there. When you buy mtn, connet it to your pc and you are in heaven already no need for 2nd party help. Men thay are fast. I use 10pm to 5am at 2000naira. Some times If I have augency I dash them 500naira for 24hours surfing. Guys consider them instead of this starcomms wahala. Though I still hate MTN but they are your best connection as far as portable brousing is concerned. I have made 17 of my friends that wanted to buy useless starcomms to go for mtn module instead. I ike GLO but their GPRS IS WORST IN THE WHOLE WORLD.

left the office early, so anxious to get home and try out the izap i just got 2day. and boy am i disappointed!

Re: Starcomms Izap - Is It Really Fast As Starcomms Claim? by aieromon(m): 7:35pm On Dec 01, 2008
am new to this site and i just can't believe the s*** am reading.
you have to give props to the starcomms EvDo network.its internet connection that's "faster than fast".
i started with the 1x thing 3 months ago which was actually slow but ever since they upgraded most parts of Lagos to their EvDo network,i've been enjoying speedy downloads like never before.
u got to give these guys credit!

Re: Starcomms Izap - Is It Really Fast As Starcomms Claim? by scottN(m): 9:16pm On Dec 01, 2008
StarComms Izap is still better than MTN in terms of user experience and economically. At least I've experienced download rate btw 116 to 150 kbps.

I am using internet download accelerator.Iv been using internet download manager for over a year now but it was having a lot of bugs and was always crashing so i decided to try something else.Even when i was using the IDM i did not cross the 50kbps threshold so i dont think the problem is using an accelerator.
