Sorry but how does the Starcomms thing work? Do you need one of those phones that search for service like mobile phones? What's an Evdo card? Is that a wireless card? If so, how much does a wired connection cost? Do you need a Nitel line in your area for that? |

That is way too much, $160 for one nigerian per month to have full internet Acess. I guess there isn't too much competition yet or the people are investing way too much in the hosting process. Question for naijafan, is this connection LAN or Dial up? do you have any idea? |

@oke amu and naijacutee it's wireless broadband. and its dial-up, just like 'em hspda, umts, etc. you can read more on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evdo there are definitely other cheaper alternatives, but this connection is more like hooking up to a VSAT and having it all to yourself, if you knw what i mean - stupidly fast. been using it since november 2006 and i have no regrets. |

Is this EVDO thingie available towards the border between Lagos and Ogun State? |

it works in agege and iju ishaga, i'm replyin to this right nw in iju, altho its not under their coverage area so speed drops seriously. upto like 20kBps transfer rate on the downlink. i'm not sure if it works in ota cos i've not tired it there. you can check out their main coverage areas on their site altho i'm sure of victoria island, lekki, ikeja, surulere (i mean in those areas, speed is awesome) |
