Testing
operator operator 4G freshtel.ua, with cool watermelons on the
site .
Equipment ZTE AX320 USB modem, netbook, walk through the center of Kiev.
We start as true beginners in the center of the capital, sitting down to drink coffee in the underground shopping center and slowly install the device.
While we brought coffee, we manage to plug in a USB modem, and install the firewood that goes onboard the modem.
Coffee was brought in - and the desire to go through the news headlines woke up, but it was not there ...
Having started the program, I saw that there is a signal, but one wand orphaned me sadly, it failed to connect ...
Burning out, I hastily finish my lousy coffee and get out to the surface, light up, sit down near the fountains.
On the surface, the program shows the signal level of -3 sticks. Connect, everything works ... Hurray ?!
We go on the portal freshtel.ua in the "My Account" where we honestly fill in the data, and click the button "Test Connection".
Having just waited for freshtel, it shows the connection data:

Not very optimistic, due to the fact that during the presentation videos from YouTube were loaded on the fly. We decide to check the old-fashioned way on the site speedtest.net

Speedtest data is strikingly different from the data on the Freshtel portal ...
I went up to the Mikhailovsky Cathedral, on the way, they asked me by phone to tell me how to get there,
sitting down in the yard-yard on Mikhailovskaya Street, he successfully passed out, the signal was at the level
Freshtel was lazy to write data, but he sent the test boxes in good faith.

The signal level is one stick, the signal is not stable, the connection could not be established.
Near the exit, leaning the laptop on the shop window signal level three or two sticks, it was not possible to establish a connection.

Sit down in anticipation of meeting in the "Kofehauz" on the Red Army, which is down the street behind the planetarium
signal level in the street - one stick, not connected
Rechecked several times ... Maybe the matter is that the magnetic storms that at that moment were on Saturn, but also the local Wi-Fi refused to work for me.
After the meeting I walk down the street to the public garden at the intersection of Krasnoarmeyskaya and I. Fedorov.
Near the interesting restaurant "Jug"

D \ U - 13.50 \ 1.9As you can see, the differences in speed are striking, but the delay times are similar ...
The coverage area of freshtel is small and closes the center of Kiev. The bases stuck amazingly close to each other, there were moments when the signal level was at the level of one stick and after a couple of seconds it became maximum.
The signal quality in the room drops noticeably, thick Stalin walls are often an insurmountable obstacle, but the speed does not decrease.
Concluded that it is possible to work on the "reflected" signal.
PS
The speed is good but the response time is unnerving. With such a ping, for example, in the camper strike do not run.
Modem, Sabaka, quickly discharges the battery. During the day, Akum fully sat down, although the battery is less than six months.
