gsm / G3 number of connections

[Guest bartvdv]

just for fun i had on my windows phone a utility that told me to which cell tower i was connected and meanwhile it was monitoring the signal strength of 4 other towers nearby.

So far i can see to what tower I am connected, but i haven't been able to find the "look ahead buffer" with the four other towers and their signal strength...

Does anybody know how the skate is doing the switching between towers and is there a program to monitor those connections ?

And where ever I am, I only get 1mbit download and 125Kbit upload speed, which is rather low for what umts (g3) is capable of ... skate or provider ?
