Re: Starcomms Izap - Is It Really Fast As Starcomms Claim? by flyuche(m): 8:41pm On Nov 14, 2008
ordinary gprs is now faster than EVDO!
starcomms we know what to expect of a 3G network o!
i think they should try MTN and understand the meaning of 3G grin
Re: Starcomms Izap - Is It Really Fast As Starcomms Claim? by ken10000(m): 8:51pm On Nov 14, 2008
no i dont think gprs is faster than starcomms

its just that they promised 300kb/s - 600kb/s angry

Re: Starcomms Izap - Is It Really Fast As Starcomms Claim? by ken10000(m): 9:03pm On Nov 15, 2008
Thats about the same speed i normally get when i download

hey guys i'm thinkng of buying another evdo or izap card cuz i use 9am - 9pm but
it seems i need it beyond 9pm and i dont see 100hrs for 6,500 naira reasonable thats just like 4 days
so instead i'm thinkng of buying another to use for 9pm to 9am
so i'll pay 7,000 + 5,000 = 12,000 monthly instead of 16,000
what do u think ?
Re: Starcomms Izap - Is It Really Fast As Starcomms Claim? by lynxnoon(m): 12:40am On Nov 16, 2008
@ken
wel its good sha but i hope u know u'll need extra 15k for d card
And using two packages on a single card may not be compartible[b](wel i cant really say about dat except starcoms wud allow it i.e if d card can be configured for it)[/b]
I tink u shud find som1 dat woks in starcoms izap section n ask if its possible
Anyhow lets know how it goes sha
Re: Starcomms Izap - Is It Really Fast As Starcomms Claim? by hayprof(m): 4:38am On Nov 16, 2008

When they started, the "average" was 300-600kbps and the peak was 1000kbps plus.

Now, the average download speed is much less and the peak speed is 300-400kbps. Shame.
