3G in The 3rd World - Not so Claro
Yesterday I bought Claro’s 3G Wireless Data Service in Brazil. I’m not going to tortue you with the excrutiating details of the 5 hour ordeal to order the service that included everything short of a rectal exam. Instead, I’ll focus on the QoS:
So far my top rate in 8.7 kb/s upstream and 91.6 kb/s Downstream. Normally it’s MUCH slower and it disconnects about 3 times per hour. At the store, they pitched “1 Mb/s” Transfer rate and up to 10 Gigs of transfer per month before it slows down. What a load of horse shit. Hands down, Dial-Up in the US outperforms this shitty “3G” service from Claro
