3G on the road!

For about a week now, I’ve been road testing Globe’s 3G service. Marc was already sold to the idea of getting 1.8Mbps directly to his laptop so he finally signed up for one. Me, I’m still thinking about it but the last couple of days have been very positive especially after several trips around Metro Manila and two out of town trips.

Thus far, all I can say is that driving down south from Magallanes to Sta. Rosa Exit (SLEX) thru Silang had a good 70% 3G coverage (Tagaytay however, can only serve up GPRS/EDGE). The NLEX route was even better — more than 90% 3G coverage (EDSA to SBMA) and these tests where done while cruising at the rate of 80 to 140kmph.

If you think you’ll need some more *umph* to your mobile connectivity, Globe Visibility’s Php2,000 MSF could be worth it.

More on this when I’ve completed my road testing…
