Pun intended, really. Basically, what happened is that I've gotten my computing device (me [tag]notebook[/tag]) and I decided not to sign up for any more Telekom-crap. I don't like the idea of being bounded by the mere wall socket, not to mention the servere 24 months contract for that stupid socket (in case most of you didn't know and lazy to read the terms and conditions when you sign up for your streamyx, the packages, mostly, comes with a 24 months contract, and as far as I can remember, the phone line itself comes with a 12 month contract as well).
But being the geek in me, I need some sort of an internet access to be able to do my stuff. So after giving a considerable thinking, I signed up for DiGi's unlimited EDGE package. Yeah I know, they don't have 3G (because they lost the license bid) - but the point it, EDGE is just slightly slower than 3G, and it is available almost everywhere that I usually go to, compared to the 3G's choppy coverage and slightly expensive rates (EDGE monthly about RM99, while 3G is 100ish)
So now, I'm at my grandma's place, connected to EDGE and enjoying peaceful computing in the [tag]Kampung[/tag]environment. Lovely isn't it? :D

Is it really fast? I tested and got speeds of 10kbps at my office only. :( They say, however, that unlimited EDGE is not shared (or something) so it's faster?
Also, is 3G that much faster?

I've been on it for a while, and my speed peaks at 25k most of the time (on other times, it went bonkers between 9k~16k). EDGE have theoratical capable speed of 384k.sec, but since my device only can do 240-ish (i think), good enough for my surfing :)
I'm not so sure about 3G speed. But from what I've been told from someone who's using both, he said 3G is only slightly faster than EDGE.

yeah.. i mean.. aha.. yeah...
damn i know nothing about this EDGE thing.. the only thing that came to my mind when u'r talking about the word 'EDGE' is Soul Edge, one of the swords in Soul Calibur..
Damn i'm such a game-freak.. so freak that I could guide a friend through FFX without looking at the walkthrough.. n.n;;
Nice one there bro.. so u could surf while peeking on to the 'anak dara kampung' whose taking their bath or their usual routine on the toilet.. nice..
