Digicel 4G Speed Tests [Mobile]

[Cultus]

I drove from Kingston to Mobay today....just got back in. Digicel never dropped 4G signal for one minute. I was pleasantly surprised. Looks like Digicel got this one right finally. Now if they could just offer some decent rates. 1,750 dollars for 1Gig is just too expensive is you ask me.

Thanks cultus, I was looking for that type of feed back from person travelling or living at different location across the island. I think digicel really got it right, lime need better courage across the island to really compete.

Well I had constant 4g in alley, clarendon!!! (Its close to lionel town)... But I think when the phone is trying to keep 4g its kills my battery

Well for those who need to know about coverage I have no problems in the Yallahs, Morant Bay, Bull Bay area with the service. There are only a few areas on the trip from St. Thomas to New Kingston that it goes to EDGE.

Coverage was a concern and I am happy Digicel has this RIGHT...

P.S. @ frazbox it's a known fact that extensive data usage will drain your battery faster.

I'm not talking about data usage, but maintaining 4g singal when I'm not close to a 4g tower

I think you should switch to 2G only or turn off cellular data service when you are not on plan, this might give you better battery life, since the phone maintaining 4G signals, even when you are not in 4G coverage area.

Im quite sure i told you guys abt my HSDPA experiences in Florida last year how it drained my phone in 6 hrs and I wasn't doing anything on the phone

[grbrown]

Yes, 3/4G really eat up your battery, have to travel with your charger all the time.

I think when I get the new phone I may end up buying one of those portable battery packs

So how comes I get a full day from my GSII? My phone is in WCDMA Only mode. What am I doing different, other than the fact that I have a 1900mah battery.
