Hutch 3G Review

[Rksk]

Here are my speed test results (with 15-25% WCDMA).
But I'm having 1-2MBps in off-peak times.

Thanks for the replies. . I activated the 139RS for 520MB package for the moment. Speed does not matter as long as I can browse with images off.


The speed is ok for normal browsing with 20% signal level.

I got 5GB postpaid package just for Rs500/M.

Here is my speed with 45% HSPA


Not too bad
I'm having just one problem while using HUTCH, at the first page load (in a dialup session) it redirects me to wap.hutch.lk. I tried many things to stop it, but didn't work.
Now I've forwarded this host to localhost, because I don't wanna see their crazy advertisements at the start-up.

If you have a huawei dongle. This might work.

mmm, there is no such a setting here.
This problem hurts me when resuming broken downloads. Because download managers fail at this url redirection, they can't resume the download from old url because of this.

Try flahsing your dashboard software to the generic version for your dongle. I guess that you might have already tried these things.

This dongle is not a Hutch locked one. So there is no any relation with the dashboard.
I guessed it was a DNS hack by HUTCH, but this happens even with google DNS. So I'm confusing.

No idea then. What I have is a Huawei E171, generic dashboard. Windows do notify that I might have to open web browser to setup additional details to use the connection. Upon connection, it shows a balloon notification. Browser opens only if i click it. But it does not open any web page. And it does not happen every time I connect.
