Guest geordiekid Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 Hello... Just interested... what's the top HSDPA speeds for each of the networks at the moment? (Will significantly advise my choice of network for my new phone... whenever it comes round!) ta gk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chucky.egg Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 I had 435kbps with T-Mobile on my I600 the other day, was comparing to a mate with O2 GPRS (I won!) I use DSL Reports: http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed?jisok=1&more=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use DSL Reports: http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed?jisok=1&more=1 Was that a spike? or is that a general speed you achieve? Im looking to move to T-Mobile to use Slingplayer and need something that will be able to hold 250-300k constantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest WILBUR Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 for what it is worth, I routinely get over 1000kbps (but not much more) when downloading large files according to my trusted friend SPB GPRS monitor over HSDPA on T-Mobile in London....

Ah nice, thanks. Im just outside the M25 so hopefully i can get a decent HSDPA signal here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use DSL Reports: http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed?jisok=1&more=1 Thanks for the link. It worked great. Was looking for a site but none could really help out. I hope T-Mobile in the Netherlands ups there speeds quick, or else I'll have to switch to Vodafone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chucky.egg Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 (edited) Was that a spike? or is that a general speed you achieve? Im looking to move to T-Mobile to use Slingplayer and need something that will be able to hold 250-300k constantly. It's not something I test often, but when I get HSDPA (only at work for me) and I've tested it (only a handful of times) I've never got below 300. I don't recall but 435 may well be the highest I've got to date. [edit] Should have said that I think the way the DSL Reports system works is to download a large file and time the process, so the speeds will be an average for that download. [/edit] Theoretical maximums are all very well, but no use if you want to test for real world use. Does anyone know anyone who's got 3.6mbps? No, thought not! ;) Edited September 18, 2007 by chucky.egg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest geordiekid Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 Theoretical maximums are all very well, but no use if you want to test for real world use. Does anyone know anyone who's got 3.6mbps? No, thought not! ;) No, but by seeing who has what speeds then you will know how interested they are in maximising the use of the technology. If there is a network who has faster speeds than the rest, then I would take from that that they are more interested in implementing it. And also, while nobody is likely to get the theoretical maximum, on a network with a faster speed, you are likely to be able to achieve a faster speed than other networks, even if it still not that top speed... best gk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chucky.egg Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 Yeah, that sounds reasonable. The trouble is there are only 2 speeds (at the moment) 3.6mbps and 7.2mbps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fr0st Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Just did a test on Rogers in Canada. 1039 kbps on a 1mb file. Too bad it cost me about $3 to do that test. Having no GSM competition sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest saleemarshad Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 is hsdpa available on the Mobile internet package from vodafone @7.5 per month or only on the MOBILE BROADBAND Option at 30 a month. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest J273 Posted September 20, 2007 Report Share Posted September 20, 2007 Is HSDPA available for PAYG t-mob users? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Rayder Posted September 27, 2007 Report Share Posted September 27, 2007 HSDPA? on payg? not a good idea ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Shuflie Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 HSDPA? on payg? not a good idea ;) It is on t-mobile in the UK, £1 max per day is the going rate subject to a FUP. Of course the web'n'walk for pay monthly is better if you're a regular net user, even if you only get regular GPRS speeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest amo Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 Just did a speed test at work where there's poor reception and managed to get a connection of 1.4Mbps (1mb test file). I'm happy with that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chucky.egg Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 There seems to be a misconception with HSDPA, just like there was when GPRS was new. You don't pay for the amount of time you are connected, or for the speed of the connection, you pay for the amount of data you transfer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Subliminal Aura Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Do I read this right ?

Guest andrewkeith5 Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 (edited) well thats wrong for a start - as far as i know, nobody has 7.2 yet, and o2 don't have any HSDPA until next year. most people have 1.8 still i think - this is the speed most of the devices are capable of Edited December 15, 2007 by andrewkeith5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
