Cellcard vs Metfone for data - which is faster?
Cellcard vs Metfone for data - which is faster?
Hi,
Any thoughts on which these two providers has the faster data speeds in real life?
I've got Cellcard and it's OK but at times I can't make calls using Whatsapp, Messenger etc, other times it's fine.
Be interested to hear what other people think.
TIA.

Depends where you are in cambodia. Inside south pp i never have problems with metfone, but often with smart. Out in the boonydocs smart often ahe better coverage.
A lot of people switched to cellcard so more users shifting more data can make it slower than a less popular network in the same area. Why not get a dual sim phone and have 2 sims, cover all your bases that way

With the power cuts the data has been spotty on both Cellcard and Metfone (I have both), but annoying often times it goes down at the same time so it doesn't matter which network. Until recently Metfone has been pretty good, so I suspect it's more of an infrastructure issue and not a carrier issue.
Smart while cheaper, is not nearly as reliable as either of the above.

Smart data is definitely dropping out during the power cuts. Not always but sometimes. Apart from that I have found them to be pretty reliable. I know that wasn't the question though, sorry.JerryCan wrote: ↑Fri Apr 05, 2019 3:01 pm With the power cuts the data has been spotty on both Cellcard and Metfone (I have both), but annoying often times it goes down at the same time so it doesn't matter which network.

Sorry, I should have said I'm in PP. And one slot is used for a foreign sim, so can only use one Cambodian sim.
Tried Smart and gave up after 24 hours, up and down like a yoyo - only really interested in the Cellcard vs Metfone side of things (and Cellcard is cheaper for data at the moment, only $8 for 80gb vs Smarts $8 for 40gb).

I have Cellcard and Metfone in my dual sim phone. While I find Cellcard around Phnom Penh is the fastest in most places, and often much faster, Metfone is better from my apartment. Might be worth trying both and picking a winner.

Smart works barely or at all during cuts
