Most networks restrict upload speeds to prevent peer to peer sharing and the like. One way of testing it would be on wifi I imagine. Take the network provider out of the equation and you will know for certain.

Upload 346kbps. Only ran one test.

387 on second test.

Kilobits or Kilobytes?
If its bytes, that should be HSUPA should it not?

[Frankish]

Its set to test in bits.

Set it to test in kilobytes and it come out at 41....

Only t-mobile and sometimes vodafone do this (And orange) and no that wont be a way of testing. as wifi is completely different to 3G..

[Frankish]

Well I tested on t mobile and T-Mobile orange.

I went to vodafone shop this morning and bought one. turns out it doesnt have HSUPA but its fast anyways/ And they unlocked it for free for me too

Yeah, I've noticed in the past that gsmarena aren't always 100% accurate.

Daniel, Wouldn't wifi upload speed testing have worked anyway, as the phone can't upload any quicker than the phone supports anyway so it should not matter whether its over wifi or 3G. IE the wifi speed would not have affected the hardware max upload speed of the phone.

Wifi and 3g are different

For example the HSDPA chip is 7.2mbps and the 3g Upload chip is 300-400K. but the wifi chip is 150Mbps.  I was worrying about tethering mostly. as tethering with zte blades are a living nightmare (Ping rates of 200+). Constant freezing etc. but for example with my x10 mini which has HSUPA (In HSPA)  its almost like HSPA+ (Minus the speeds) and with pings in the region of 60-90MS

[Davidoff59]

Cheers for that. I was looking at it as one chip that does the upload which is obviously wrong.

Resurrecting this thread....

Can anyone tell me why or when the flash (BBC iplayer) on this isn't optimised as well as I thought it would be...? Im sure it could be better with a 1ghz procesor... I've heard or read someone saying that it's due to the Cortex chip or somet...?!

Anyone want to shed some light in this for me and tell me whether there's a chance Flash player might be optimised going forward...?

Thanks

I get smooth playback with iplayer and with live BBC flash streams? Are you not getting that? Also tvcatchup flash streams play smoothly (all the FREEVIEW channels live plus some more) - just don't try the highest resolutions, especially HD.

Eats the battery up though.

Sorry, don't get me wrong the playback is smooth... No problem with performance at all.

I was just querying the actual pixel quality sometimes on screen... I mean sometimes it's great but when there's some fast moving scenes it does get a 'little' blurry.

Just wish there would be some way of optimising the quality of playback... 😌

That sounds more like an effect of the bitrate.
