1. At home, I used to have problem with maxis, but now with Digi, full bars. WOW!
2. At the office. Unfortunately, the story went south. From good reception to really poor and sometimes no line at all. Well good excuse for not getting any call from boss.
But then, my analysis shows:
1. At home, I check my Android base phone and realize the connected network type is UMTS. Is a 3G. Cool and full nars too. Never get that. Maxis gave me one bar at home and the signal strenght can be as low as 100+dBM and 1-2 asu. DIGI gave me as high as 60+dBM and 20asu. WOW.
2. At the office, I notice the network type is EDGE. The signal is like Maxis at home. 100+dBM and 1-2 asu. But, it fluctuate and can go to zero for both.
So whats going on with EDGE? I copy this from the net.
"The catch is that EDGE requires higher radio signal quality than that found in an average GSM network before higher data throughput can be reached. This means more base stations (especially indoor) and infrastructure build-out for established GSM operators that wish to migrate to EDGE"

So... I guess at my office, there is not enuf base stations especially indoors. Unless, one day, that area is with UMTS... my problem solve.. I hope.
