hello Nairalanders,

Does any one in the house really know the speed and capacity of what the technology of starcomms evdo can do in terms of fast internet browsing, downloading and uploading attachment in respect with usage for a cybercafe. Moreso, how many systems will the stuff be able to support if one is in an area of 100% coverage area of its network.

Your contributions will be highly appreciated.

starcomms evdo is fast. I'm currently sharing a friend's own and the speed is superb and is worth the price. Downloading with download accelerator plus gets to as high as 30kb/s and doesnt get lower that 8kb/s. Hope u find this useful

pls how much is the complete package.i have a laptop and i want internet connection

i guess you call their customer care on *121 on any starcomms fone, its free. so you can confirm the prices.

Hello, i have a HP Intel Duo Core Laptop and when i tried buying Starcomms EVDO people in their office said its not gonnan work well with My Port, i felt i;m being decieved its that true, please help me coz my dial up seem to be one of the greatest mistakes i made this year coz my business if going down, can i efficiantly use Evdo if my Slot isn't straight?

Prosper

Hi prosper,
No you are not being deceived, most modern laptops come with what is called express card slot (ie the not straight card slot). So you wont be able to use the Starcomms card with it , which is a PCI card.

The only way is to buy a specialized Router to use with it. which does come cheap and scarce. Starcomms say that very soon they would be bringing in express EVDQ cards. We hope its very soon

Please i visited starcomms yesterday and all i got were people with all their EVDO kits complaining of hell of service well i'm considering DirectOnPC what do you think?

Kai, Dont try it .

I presently have a client who had been using Direct On Pc. Apparently their Vsat have been down for over a month now.

There Boadband single user module is a sham, very slow.

I don't know which starcomms office you went It think its a local area issue.

I am based in PH. Starcomms browsing speed and download Speed is presently fantastic.

For example i downloaded about 15Mb virus update file under 5 minutes.

Well sorry dear I'm afraid thats what i'm accessing tghrough with now, i got it today although there are poor networks but atleast its somehow better than starcomms but hey its just expensive and they have poor customer care relationship there u know these indians now
