Hello, I just signed up yesterday for the UB68 plan. Speedtest from the UMobile site shows that I'm hitting about 2.0mbps, but regular surfing (and streaming) doesn't seem to hit more than 300-400kbps. Speedtest.net to Singapore is around 500kbps and to San Diego (arbitrarily chosen) gets me about 300kbps. Am I getting the right speeds or should I be expecting more? Seems pretty slow to me. sad.gif

I prefer using the download manager with the accelerator function. That is the best.

Cool, but what are the average download speeds you're getting? I know this is really subjective and it's based on location, congestion, the download servers, etc. but I'd like some sort of baseline on what kind of download speeds I can expect.

I downloaded Opera without any download managers - averaged about 30-40kBps. Is that normal? blink.gif

i think 30-40kbps is quite slow if u using U68..

i normally get 60~140kbps download but keep in mind I'm living high building and might be blocked by another apartment block too..

I'm on UB68. sad.gif
The Speedtest on the U Mobile site shows me about 2.2mbps - but real world usage lingers around the 30-40kBytes/s range. I tried MDMA to check my assigned profile, but unfortunately they gave me the dinky ZTE modem so can't verify my profile.

So wait, what you're saying is that the huawei e-whatever modem has a significant effect on the speeds that I'll get? Dang, now I feel cheated. sad.gif
