Goondu review: StarHub 21Mbps HSPA

StarHub MaxMobile Elite using Huawei USB modem

Heard of StarHub’s recent radio ads about their “blazing fast” mobile broadband offering?

Well, for the past month, Techgoondu has been testing the MaxMobile Elite service that promises as much as 21Mbps downloads on the go. And we have to say it rocks!

The proof of the pudding is in actual downloads, and I’ve to say I have not seen faster downloads on the go than with the black Huawei USB stick that I used to access this HSPA or 3.5G service.

I’m talking about bursts of as much as 1MB per sec (megabyte per second), or 8Mbps (megabits per sec), when I recently opened my laptop and plugged in the Huawei USB stick at the food court at Tiong Bahru Plaza.
