200+ Kbps download for Cingular EGPRS(EDGE) (San Francisco Bay Area)
|

| John Navas 2007-03-06, 3:33 pm |
| Downloading over Cingular EGPRS(EDGE) here in the San Francisco Bay Area
(San Ramon) continues to improve -- here's what I just saw for net
throughput on a large FTP download using a Sony Ericsson GC82 PC Card
(Class 10):
Minimum: 21.7 KBytes/sec (174 Kbps)
Maximum: 27.5 KBytes/sec (220 Kbps)
Average: 25.4 KBytes/sec (204 Kbps)
Performance monitor screen capture: <http://i19.tinypic.com/48fpk5w.png>
UMTS/HSDPA would of course have been much faster.

| Routinely boring to get 150 Kbps throughput from
"free" VZW site. Packet I suppose. No data plan
needed. Nights and weekends free. Surf all night,
8:01 PM 5:59AM if you like. Old plan..

| I just moved up to HSDPA (using a RAZR V3xx), which does indeed make
that kind of speed routinely boring. ;) Haven't had time to do much
testing yet, but I've already seen over 500 Kbps throughput here in a
moderate signal area.

Does this mean you would tether your new phone, instead of using the laptop
card?
Where did you buy yours? I see Cingular has one for $39.99 with a 2 year
contract.
Have you tried the http://qode.com barcode reader with it?
(Today, I noticed that my connection has gone from GPRS to EGPRS, for the
first time in this area.)

Any one remember the name of Dallas guy with the cancerous ego that was
promoting them?
He turned out to have an 'e-curse' where anything he blessed was doomed.

But,now there are colors!
Black, Gold, Platinum; $49, $79, $99. (I missed the $39.)
Unless it's really Platinum, I can't see anything in the specs that makes
it worth twice as much.
