Some people questioned me about what is the best option in today's internet via cell phone, but before answering this question you need to understand some points.

In Brazil this is a very expensive service, operators they put into his pocket and a mobile data plans, so if you have the option, ADSL still has the best cost / benefit, so if you do not need a mobile connection. Some carriers offer prepaid plans, so these extra points gained in the article, it ultimately gives you the option to test the service before getting into a loyalty plan 1/2 year (s). Do not put the service into account, only the plans offered and the best cost / benefit, because several people have commented to me that a decent operator in a city or region becomes very bad in another place, so it behooves you to test the service in its region / city, and if you want help, you can comment here in the article as is the service that your provider uses.

For research considered only access on EDGE / GSM, 3G coverage because it is still very small, being practically an exception to the rule in Brazil, so the speeds compared the plans do not include 3G. The limits listed are for the data traffic allowed on the plane, not the contracted speed. Considered only plans / prices with monthly data transfer more than 1GB or more closer.

I read in yesterday's blog Bia Kunze , Girl Wireless, finally the operator TIM Service launched its mobile Internet access on 3G in the cities of Belo Horizonte, Curitiba, Florianópolis, Fortaleza, Recife and Salvador. This will actually make many people happy that do not have access to broadband via fixed telephone companies, even as is the case of Bia Kunze, because they live a bit far from the downtown area.

But not all flowers, Bia's own comments in a new post on his blog that despite the speed is very good plans "unlimited" are not as unlimited as well, because 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, thus avoiding the TIM was "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 , Who walks leading earful of users , and more this release of TIM, we begin to glimpse the fast mobile access market in Brazil, via 3G. Of course, if I were you I would not buy anything now, and you will pay more stressing about the adjustments and limitations imposed by the operators. Surely a sensible thing is to wait a bit longer until other carriers into the war of 3G, such as Vivo promises that come with it even until the end of the first half of 2008. You wait and see!
