is my SPV internet connection really this slow?!

[Guest charlieafif]

I just tested my GPRS speed on my new orange SPV E200 on www.ppcw.net (the link that says test your speed)

After 3 years :evil: i got a reading of a measly 6kbps. Surely there's something i'm doing wrong in its configuratuion.

How can i up my speed anyone? i thought it was at least 28kbps!?

By the way - other than that its truely an amazing phone/gadget. Peforms very well and if you don't use the SD card too much (i.e. take it out most of the time) the battery life is dramatically increased.

Thanks in advance

28kbps = 28 kilobits per second....

which equals

6kb/s = 6 kilobyte per second...

don't be fooled by those figures.... a 1mbit adsl line doesnt mean you will download with 1mb/s

the sum is Kbit / 8 = kbyte

it's really odd yeah... but that's the way it is....

Fail maths?

28Kbp/s is ~3.5KBp/s

And half a byte is a nybble (4 bits).

Mmmm All this talk is making me hungry :lol:
