Mobile broadband has revolutionized our Internet experience. As more and more people are logging on to the Internet on the go, the need for a faster connection has become imperative, what with all the music downloads, video streaming and other Internet activities that consumes bandwidth. Thanks to mobile broadband, the bandwidth that is being delivered to consumers increased. Broadband actually refers to a term that pertains to a wide array of frequencies in a certain transmission system. If the bandwidth is larger, so does the frequency.

In general, the whole idea of having a broadband connection is to have a "high-speed" connection to the Internet. Being "high-speed" means having a high rate of data transmission. But too often, the mobile broadband speed of a Internet service provider does not measure up to what is advertised, leaving broadband users frustrated. While there are legitimate reasons for slow data transmission, such as traffic management or software on the computer, there are times that a slow mobile broadband speed is unacceptable and is due to poor service.

What to do about this? The first thing you may do is check your mobile broadband speed. It is important to determine the speed of your mobile broadband in order to calculate the necessary steps that you should take. The best way to check your mobile broadband speed is by using a credible speed checker.

Checking your broadband speed is easy, quick and most of all, it's free. You may do so now if like. This website gives you the opportunity to know your mobile broadband speed. Take note that it is to your advantage to test the speed of your mobile broadband. Annoyed that your every download takes so long to be finished? Always having trouble streaming music and videos to your computer or mobile device? Put the speed of your mobile broadband to the test to see if your Internet service provider is true to their promise.

Once you have checked the speed of your mobile broadband and find it unsatisfactory, give your broadband provider a call. Find out if there is anything they can do to improve your broadband speed. You may need to upgrade your modem or have a technician check your line. If there's no improvement you have the right to file a formal complaint to the company. You have the option to take your case to the small claims court in accordance with the Supply of Goods and Services Act if actions were taken but you are still not satisfied or the company failed to act on your official complaint. Or you may just want to switch to another broadband provider if all else failed. Check out the market for Internet service providers that offer faster and reliable speed. Ask around to find out if these providers deliver on their promise before signing up with them. Just always remember that optimum broadband speed is rarely achieved accurately so the thing to consider is which provider gives the most consistent speed.

One of the Last Bastions of a Closed Society

Hanoi can be considered one of the last bastions of a "closed society". Now that it has opened up to the world, droves and droves of tourists are flocking into the city especially around the Tet Festival when it's winter in the northern hemisphere. Its mysticism that caught the imagination of the western world has attracted people from all walks of life to seek its beauty, culture and history.

Hanoi's display of architectural designs from the simple abodes to the grandest buildings reflect its rich history dominated by the occupation of eastern and western powers. It's historical past can be gleaned from its varied museum exhibits. Museums worth checking out are the Vietnamese Museum of Ethnology, the History Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts and the Military Museum. Vietnam's exotic cultural heritage representing the various oriental tribes that dwell in its mountains and hills are masterfully displayed at the Museum of Ethnology in Hanoi.

Among Hanoi's many attractions are the city lakes. Hoan Kiem is the most visited because of its proximity to the Old Quarters which by itself is a perfect place to experience a glimpse of Vietnamese culture. Ho Tay or West Lake, Bay Mau and Truc Bach Lakes cover some interesting places. The Tran Quoc, Chuc Tan and the Tay Ho Pagodas are all within the Ho Tay lakeside. Close by is the Lenin Park within the Bay Mau area. Somewhere within these lakes is a pagoda or a temple.

It is amazing that Hanoi has been able to preserve its century old temples, pagodas, churches and colonial houses. On every block there's a temple or a pagoda where some date back to as early as the 11th century. Unless one is really into Buddhism or history of religion or architecture, one may get into a saturation point visiting places of worship. Worth visiting are the Temple of Literature [1070], One Pillar Pagoda [1049], Tran Quoc Pagoda [17th century], Quan Than [11th century], Ba Da Temple [15th century], Hai Ba Trung [1142], Tay Ho Pagoda and Ngoc Son [1843]. These places are easy to identify because of the big colorful square banners hoisted by their gates. St. Joseph's Cathedral [1886] was definitely a show-in for church architecture and it's very close to Hoan Kiem Lake and the old quarters. The Cua Bac Catholic Church at Phan Dinh Phung looked very medieval with its criss crossing beams and looming steeple and the Protestant Church at Pho Phung Hung is right within the old town.

Trekking is one of the best ways to really explore the city. However, there are bicycles and motorbikes for rent which are actually very useful in navigating Hanoi's narrow alleys and streets. A good alternative would be to take a bus where one pays 3,000 dong to any point within the city and 6,000 to 8,000 dong to places outside the city limits. Taxicabs and trikes are abundant but it is important to know the exact price and currency being quoted before jumping into one of them. Altogether, Hanoi is a lively city one should never miss around this region.
