MaxxiTim Web Time - What's The Deal?

borjeg · 12-08-2007, 19:53

I've also tried this "La MaxxiTIM Web Time" this summer. It didn´t work either.

Maxxi Tim Web Time works fine for me between 5pm and 9am Mon - Fri, and all weekend. I can watch UK TV via Slingbox and Skype works OK with the 3G connection. It's just the extra 50Mb during weekdays that is missing.

I've bought a WIND SIM now and subscribed to MEGA 15000, so I should have plenty of Mb at all times of day for TV and Skype.

Thanks for the help - perhaps the offer doesnt exist.

Do you have 3G Wind?

Or are you using EDGE/GPRS network?

So far I've only been able to get GPRS with the WIND SIM, (Riposto Marina and now anchored of Taormina.

With TIM, I got GPRS and an occasional 3G in Riposto Marina, and am now getting a very strong 3G connection. I can see the station and there is a mobile phone aerial in sight - I'm guessing it's a TIM aerial.

In Stromboli and Vulcano, (Aeolian Islands), I only got GPRS with the TIM SIM.

Not sure what the difference is between 3G and EDGE/GPRS networks. My Globetrotter software shows 3G or GPRS when I query for available networks, and UMTS and PS in the connected network box.
