See me on my posts in
“Review: Globe Tattoo Wireless Broadband Prepaid Kit”

By the way the image compression is a natural event for me.
Because if u want to have a faster internet speed, low quality images is good and vice versa.
High quality nga, ang tagal naman magload…

By the way if you really want to have the fastest internet experience, go for Opera 10 Turbo Edition Beta.
Or the latest version of Mozilla Firefox.

Naexperience ko rin yan minsan, di ko alam kung pano i-fix eh.. Ang pinakaproblema ko lang talaga sa Globe Tattoo eh yung biglang bagsak ng download speed kahit na 96% ang HSDPA signal, di ako makapag-open ng kahit anong website, laging network error. Mga 5-10 minutes speed ko between 0.00 to 1.5 kbps tapos bibilis uli ng bigla. Nakakainis kung nagdodownload ng malaking file kasi from 40 – 70 kB/s magiging 0.00 kB/s. Buti na lang walang bayad ang browsing nila.

Wow, that’s cool. Thanks for this! Now we don’t need to press Ctrl+F5 each time we visit a new website.

Aside from compression, sometimes I’m also having issues accessing YouTube videos. Javascript turned off daw? I don’t know if it’s just me.

Hi, i found a real solution for the image pixelation / compression in Globe Tattoo, this works with Mozilla Firefox.

Steps:
1. Open your Firefox.
2. Enter in the address bar “about:config” (without the quotes).
3. Click “I’ll be careful, I promise!”.
4. On the filter field, search for “extra.firefox” (without quotes).
5. Below you’ll see general.useragent.extra.firefox, change the value to Hello/4.0 for which it was Firefox/3.0.8 in my case.

That’s it! You should be able to browse the internet with original/uncompressed images.

Anyone knows the trick for Safari and Opera? Please post reply here.

[...] Images displayed on web pages are visibly more compressed compared to accessing the same through DSL. Loss of quality is significant. Perhaps a strategy to save on bandwidth? (update: found a fix!) [...]
