[JJ16]

well by d time you watch two movies uh battery dead..

i want 3g/4g for regular apps, like whatsapp, facebook, twitter (social apps) maybe some browsing (google, trinituner etc) hopefully the package bmobile gives under 3g doesnt max out, i would still prefer if it were unlimited like EDGE...

[Stephon.]

far less over 3G or 4 G.

[SRASC]

Just need a little refresher on the 4G frequencies that bmobile plan to use for their 4G network

[firstchoicett]

850/1700 ? Or 950/1900 ?

[SRASC]

Are those them?

[firstchoicett]

I think so ... If I'm correct I think TSTT bands higher then Digicel bands .

[Daran]

it's 850/1900 for GSM and 1900 for the HSPA+

[firstchoicett]

Know it was some where along that line .

[hustla_ambition101]

what speeds are we supposed to get with the usb wimax modem? i usually only get between 500k-1.5mbps

and would foil help (serious- i saw pics about it online)

[maj. tom]

foil and a parabolic rice strainer or pan. put the modem at the focal point and point it in the direction of the tower. Or try cutting a beer can longitudinally and make it a parabolic shape and put the modem in the middle.

Heard an ad on the radio this morning that they apologize for the recent inconveniences caused, but they're happy to bring you 4G, but not just 4G.

Checked my 9700 and saw it said "3G" with the blackberry logo next to it. Just as I was about to test, it switched back to EDGE and down to GSM and stuff.

Now I know my phone isn't 4G capable, so I'm wondering if anyone else is getting through?

[ismithx]

no it isn't released yet....

[hustla_ambition101]

Nope, they testing stuff so periodically you will see 3G or whatever your phone has appear on the screen

[S_2NR]

was constantly switching between 3g and edge last week. had to put the phone network mode on "2g only" and not "2g and 3g" cuz it was killing my battery.

[DJ Q]

Ah ok...
Haven't listened to the radio in weeks and it played as I was in a Maxi this morning.

Thanks for the info.

BTW.. in the testing... will we be able to actually use the service when it's periodically online?

[pioneer]

I can confirm I am 4G

[PapaC]

Speeds?

[DJ Q]

Good work mods.. was looking for another thread... didn't know threads could be merged
