The most pathetic service I cud call. Currently residing in Riggai area, and Wnet is one of the worst services I ever found. It is quite slower than a dialup and often dead without signal. Tried several times fixing it up at Sharq office, but all efforts in vain when I am back home. So another solid case of all promises and poor delivery. I finally decided to use Quality net DSL now. Really happy with the speed and reliability. So new users beware with all the RED captions of top speed and customer service from Wnet. Its just pathetic. Dear folks,

I mean am I going to have the same quality, with many computers connecting to the DSL at home, and what about the distance will cover the same as home 512 DSL?

Sometimes as slow as dialup. Qnet 512 kbps is always stable. Where are for this device it will vary. The only advantage is its mobility but then again battery reduction ( Not something to worry about ).. overall great product !! My friend own’s this and i noticed the upload speed is inconvenient.

It went up a bit and down a bit but stuck around the 114kb mark for most of the time. Thats faster then my DSL connection. But I think the latency is definitely slower. Will run Quake3 later and compare ping times. oh and today was downloading a 13MB file from gmail at 114kb. It went up a bit and down a bit but stuck around the 114kb mark for most of the time.
