Wireless Broadband using 3G / HSDPA has been quite a hit lately in the local broadband scene. In the past, Internet outside your home or office was pretty much your nearest Starbucks with WiFi hotspots. Now as long as you’re in 3G coverage, you can surf pretty much anywhere and anytime.
Gradually it began to be widely acceptable and is seen as the best alternative to the mainstream ADSL Broadband by Streamyx. However, there are some limitations to 3G/HSDPA Broadband which couldn’t make it a total replacement for Streamyx.
