Some people questioned me about what is the best option today in the Internet via cell phone, but before answering this question is necessary to understand some points.

In Brazil this is a very expensive service, operators ment to hand in his pocket as the data plans for mobile, so if you have the option, ADSL is still the best value, so if you do not need a mobile connection. Some carriers offer prepaid plans, thus they have earned extra points in the article, after all it gives you the option to test the service before getting into a loyalty scheme of 1 / 2 year (s). Do not put into consideration the service, only the plans offered the best cost / benefit, because many people have commented to me that a decent operating in a city or region becomes very bad in another place, so it's up to you test the service in its region / city, and if you want help, you can comment here in the article as is the service of your carrier you use.

For the purposes of research considered only access EDGE / GSM, as the 3G coverage is still very small, being almost an exception to the rule in Brazil, so the speeds compared the plans do not include 3G. The limits are set for the data traffic allowed on the plane, and not the contracted speed. Considered only plans / prices of monthly data transfer more than 1GB or greater closer. Date of survey: January 2010.

And one last tip, if you have problems with the phone's signal, such as Marcelo Neubert, which ends up interfering with the quality of its Internet mobile phone, you can consider investing in this apparatus that they invented a Canadian company, which provides greatly improve signal from your carrier, and thus the speed of your connection and of course your conversations on the phone:

Mobile broadband, is it?

Yesterday I read the blog of Bia Kunze, Girl Wireless, which finally operator TIM [BB] launched its service in mobile Internet access on 3G for the cities of Belo Horizonte, Curitiba, Florianopolis, Fortaleza, Recife and Salvador. That will really leave a lot of happy people who have no access to a broadband over fixed telephone companies, including as is the case of Bia Kunze, because they live a little far from the downtown area.

But not everything is flowers, Bia's own comments in a new post on his blog that although the speed is very good plans "unlimited" not unlimited as well, as the User will have a quota of monthly transfer, ie if you abuse will be punished. I even understand why this detail, after all there are people who abuse it and those who suffer are the other users of the system, so that the TIM would be avoiding the "sucking" the band, as is happening in the U.S. where carriers are punishing " heavy users "by using this type of service to make files available on the Internet, among other coisitas.

With the service of course [BB] , Who walks leading earful of users, and over the launch of TIM, we begin to see the market for mobile access fast in Brazil, via 3G. Of course, if I were you I would not buy anything now, and pay more you will get stressed with the settings and restrictions imposed by operators. Surely a sensible thing is to wait a little longer until other carriers entered the war of 3G, such as Vivo [BB] that promises to come with it even to the end of the first half of 2008. It's wait and see!
