subject: 4g Lte Network Live In Houston: Hands On [print this page] The last telco gets the chance then to jump on the bandwagon. Besides it announcement for 4G LTE, M1 has also announced new smartphones and mobile broadband plans. M1 followed in the footsteps of Sing Tel to introduce that caps across its plans.
Telcos have offered their intentions to switch over to new tiered plans which may get a little overwhelming for users to keep track of the changes. The information with charts is to provide help in making a more informed statement based on usage needs if you need to lower through all the possible charges incurred. M1 has provided users with the HTC One XL LTE capable smartphones and a 4G SIM card which is used to test out its network over the weekend. This network follows several tests which includes pinging up a local server like Singapore, NewMedia Express the Speedtest.net app is to check its download and upload speeds.
Helps in calculating the total time taken in downloading a 20 MB MP4 file attachment from Gmail. Also let you download a 20 MB MP4 file from Dropbox and downloading a 2 GB ISO file by a local server to determine the high speed and total time taken. These tests were conducted at fur different locations which are Woodlands and Causeway point in North. Raffles place in central, Changi Airport terminal 2 in East and Chua Chu Kang Lot 1 in West.
The first test was conducted to determine the latency which is used to download and upload speed. Users use Speedtest.net app as one of the most widely used apps for testing mobile intenet speed. The app run on the New Media express server gets three time to get the average score. The results of Speedtest.net were a far cry from what seen on SingTel's network despite the fact that there is hardly anyone using the 4G network at the moment. There could be one possible reason that SingTel's 4G coverage is concentrated in fewer areas than M1 in Singapore. Another reason could be due to prevailing network conditions that may be present during tests conducted. Developers have reduced much of problems by conducting multiple download tests and average speed collected after regular three consecutive tests. This is just an introductory test prior to the full launch while it doesn't make a bright picture for M1. When there are more 4G network users then revaluation of performance for all the relevant Telcos is needed.
