well if we get someone who is using 3g glo to post their results from speedtest.net or pingtest.net, we will know for sure if they have switched the traffic to glo-1 or is still satelite.

I am in Lagos, the guy I spoke to there said they bought capacity on main one but refused to tell me how much. The modem is the Huawei Echolife BM635. Like I said, they are testing the network so there are probably very few people using it.  Having said that, it is still very fast . I have no idea what to download now.

Wrong.
There are low and mid tier Android phones that are cheap, such as the HTC Tattoo. If you're looking toward top tier android phones like the Droid X, Droid 2, Samsung Fascinate and HTC Evo 4G, you're talking of phones with 3.7 - 4.3 inch screens running with 1GHz snapdragon chips. How do you expect such phones to be cheap?

Cut your coat according to your size. Besides, none of those phones cost more than any flagship Nokia phone.

Not from where i am browsing. Its still less than 20KBps on their 3g network. Which press release are u talking about? Any link? Thanks

tomcat:
for a proper speed test you need to use a download manager and go to a website with huge capacity like nvidia.com and download a driver, whatever your steady speed is it will be your download,

this thread is about Glo-1 submarine cable, and not glo 3g or any other ones,

however please note 2 things:

1. the 3g is not connected to the glo-1 as your ping [/b]clearly shows

2. [b]In wireless connections like 3g or wimax, speedtest.net rarely shows the real speed of your connection.

as far as i know glo-1 will be connected around September as they all expect, and that means that it will be the main backbone for the 3g, broadaccess, voice etc,
