Internet: Test and Comparison of the key TIM, Vodafone, Wind and Tre

I had the opportunity to test 4 Internet Key, which used to be able to connect to the Internet in a totally wireless and without needing to stay within the walls of the house. More precisely one for each operator: Vodafone, TIM, Wind and H3G.
I started with minimal outside influence: so what is obviously a key internet and how it works, and in the past I have focused on a presentation related to its offerings, but I never went looking to see who could go better or worse if they do not confine myself to judge the degree of UMTS / HSDPA coverage of the various operators. This
able to say that my approach was the same for all 4 tests. Sure, seeing advertising with Littizzetto that puts on display H3G citing the magazine Computer Bild, a minimum expectation I had it but certainly not to the point of starting biased in one direction rather than another. Moreover, the advertising is what it is ... just advertising.
Unlike these magazines that bring throngs of teams emblazoned with a stopwatch in hand to measure the timing of download and upload every single bit, since I do not do it when I browse normally will not do even now.

That is to say that my approach was capable of the same for all 4 tests.

Party with a detail that many say is obvious, but for others it is not: given that all the key Internet currently support 7.2 Mbps, although they are not equal, the download speed is determined solely by the SIM, and then the operator and not the hardware. This is important to understand why the Last Judgement will take much account of the case of 3.

My tests focus on testing the ADSL connection test carried out through the page of NGI, which will not be 100% reliable but is seen as less significant results. Then link to make a comparison with the performance of an ADSL through the normal download files from multiple sites, evaluating the overall product quality the service offered.

All Internet keys are the latest in test, so they have the potential to download files at speeds of 7.2 Mbps, approximately 900 KB / s. To be more precise the models used are as follows: *

Vodafone - Huawei K3715 model
* TIM - MT503HS
* Wind Wave Model - Huawei E169 model
* H3G - Huawei E169 model

I, for obvious reasons I could not turn Italy to investigate the different degrees of coverage of UMTS, in any case in my area and all four products have been able to connect on HSPA and although not exactly live in a town like Milan or not having a transmitting antenna out of the door, I feel that my geographical location (province of Lecco) is common to that of many. In short: I do not live "in the ass to the wolves," then the quality of the connections where they might be affected and even in downtown Milan or Rome, where the cells could be affected by the overabundance of these connections.

And in the end we praised the providers and infrastructure that were to be expanded so that they can reach speeds of 7.2 Mbps' s been a year, and though you sell internet keys suggesting that the average consumer is able to travel at that speed, it is good to know that it is not so in most cases ... and this is true for all operators. I said in most cases, not all, however, because according to what you read in internet forums is probing the mood of the lucky few who is in a position to succeed, perhaps thanks to some of the stars, to exploit duty to the internet keys.

First we make the main question, which summarizes the result of a little test: Do you want a real

adsl? then you do not have to rely on internet keys. My advice is to choose this option only if you have the need to have internet access even when you are at home traveling at speed on the whole acceptable, but without even having too many demands.

The best top speed detected in all cases was equal to about half of what was the speed potential.

From adsl in my house (a 4 Mb Wind) the transfer of files from sites that we're going to see happening at full speed or nearly so, then around 500 KB / s. This benchmark is important to understand how the internet is disappointing keys.

Similar characteristics of internet key

* All keys are designed to be, as well as an ADSL modem, a card reader micro sd. In addition to the space for the SIM in fact have a scoparto (positioned differently depending on the model) in which to insert memories.
* All models are made in order to install itself in momendo when you connect them via USB.
* The installation was simple and fast enough in all cases.
* All software which can be equipped to handle multiple connection profiles, but only 3 with the model of software Yahoo has been able to afford to surf using SIM from other operators. Simply create a new profile, indicating the desired operator APN. The model took into
* Wind analysis is identical to that of 3, which inter alia is sposorizzato by Yahoo. At the software level, however, show otherwise.



let's go ... I have divided the trial into three parts:

* The first is a sort of school report;
* The second describes in words the experience taken into account;
* the third gives details of tests.
