It is my first day outside the house with the Starhub 21Mbps HSPA+ USB Slider. Does it live up to the expectation? Read on.<\/p>\n

I am using a Asus EeePC 1000HE for this test. Don’t expect too much from this little netbook. For the record, playing Youtube in HD is a NO, NO (jerky all the way).<\/p>\n

Now, first test.<\/p>\n

Location: Vivocity, Starbucks Cafe
\nTime: around 10:40PM
\nDate: Saturday night (27th June 2009)<\/p>\n

Results<\/h3>\n

Connection is easy. No problem at first.<\/p>\n

\"e8120_speed_02\"<\/p>\n

However, after 15 minutes, noticed that Youtube stop loading and all my MSN, SKYPE are disconnected. Starhub modem still shows connected.<\/p>\n

\"e8120_speed_03\"<\/p>\n

Without unplugging, disconnect and connect again. Could not complete task. Always shows connecting.<\/p>\n

Decided to unplug E8120. Note that there are 3 “hardware” you need to unplug. First the 3G modem. Then the storage on this modem and finally, the slot card on this modem.<\/p>\n

\"e8120_speed_04\"<\/p>\n

Anyway, after unplugging and plugging E8120 back, there seems to be no problem.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h3>\n

Too early to conclude and it can be multiple factors like the signal strength at Vivocity, the netbook issue (if any) and others.<\/p>\n

Will continue to test.<\/p>\n
