We're spending a night here in Hong Kong and on our way to China to visit the manufacturing plants of GE/Agfa tomorrow. So instead of getting hotel WiFi, I also bought a prepaid SIM card and paired it with the ZTE MF60 just to check how's the HSPA+ networks are like around here.

Gapu ta awan ti napasamak a panagsukisok, nakuhaak ti PCCW card manipud iti asideg a 7-11 a pagawidan ditoy.

Kalpasan nga inikabil iti pocket WiFi, nagin-ayon daytoy iti wagas a APN settings ken nakadetect ti signal a HSPA+.

Here's what I got from SpeedTest.net:

Not bad at all. The upload speeds are impressive as well. I remember my SmartBro Rocket tests also got me to the same burst speeds but it was during off-peak hours. This one is during peak hours.

Dagiti presyo ket napateg unay — kasla $HK3 tunggal 1MB (Php15/MB) no nasayaat ti panakaawat ko. Agpadpadael pay laeng iti panagadal no ania ti nasayaat a daily data plan ken telco.

Any suggestions out there?

I want the speed.. not the price.

Maybe HK peeps are paying good bucks, that’s why they do get that kind of speed too.

Sana ganyan din katindi ping rates at upload speeds dito! Kelan kaya natin mararating yan… Pwede na sanang pang online gaming…

I’m already attaining those DL speeds with Globe, sans the ridiculously good upload speeds. Smart, however, needs some catching up to do in the provinces with its towers. I can barely get a good 3G signal even though the tower is in proximity.

What worries me though is when Globe will start implementing bucket pricing for its services. I hope that doesn’t affect its previous subs.
