My 3G Experience

Hey Guys Today I'm Posting about yu guesses it the release of 4G by my service provider of choice Digicel Barbados it was launched at the early hours of this morning around 2am /3am since for some of the people on my twitter who are digicel users usually stay up late and the first body on my TL to freak out so to speak was Kyle and almost 2secs after he tweeted mine changed to 3G as well I am currently Using an iPhone 3G and so far my complaints are minimal I have some speed test results the moment it landed Which would be the image below showed a Dl rate of 1.58Mbps and an upload of .19mbps , but this was on its intial release at 2:52 Am,
 my friends from Bajan4iPhone did a head to head comparison of the 3G data network will have a video posted in a separate post but the difference between the network speed were great, as know in Barbados it is a constant War between Digicel customers and Lime Customers determining which is better but i have to say after watching that video I gave the jacket to Lime for winning the Speed Test

















but even with the fact that we are behind Lime i must say i am thoroughly enjoying the quicker speeds but my battery life is the small price to pay for the quicker speeds but as the day progressed what i noticed is that 3G gets no higher than 3Bars for Digicel in my area so far  but with time it should get better also just for those who haven't heard the blackberry 8520 doesn't support. With Lime and Digicel going 3G/4G i hope this brings the rise to more End Users leaving the blackberry arena in search of better things such as what iPhone has to offer, as well as Windows Phone 7 and Android OS
