I am unsure whether i am getting 3g downloads or not, as it seems quite slow. Is there anyway to test the speed.
I have a k800i unbranded by devinci on orange.

Is the 3g icon shown?

What I did was to download a ~1 MB file, clock it with a stopwatch, and do the math. I ended up with 30 KB/s, or 240 kbps (compared to the theoretical 384 kbps).

That's not too bad. At least it is far more than normal GSM GPRS. I sometimes manage 36 kByte/s which is about 300kBit/s. But only if I'm very, very close to a base-station. Appart from that most of the time I have about 250kBit/s.
With internet you always have to consider overheads. Even with DSL this overhead is about 15%. So for 384kBit/s that leaves 326kBit/s for a wired connection. As GPRS and UMTS have some additional 5% overhead that leaves about 310kBit/s in perfect conditions - which we never have in real live.
Furthermore the PING times are also considerably higher for wireless connections in general. That means it takes longer until a server will respond on your requests.

Whats the time where live? It depends on the amount of users on at the moment...
Anything over 300 is decent I doubt youll get exactly 384!

3G prices...
What price plan's r out there?
In Norway, one of the network charges about EUR2 pr.1MB of data. Is that comparable with the world?
Posted by Kimi
Uh - for me that's cheap. Switzerland on Swisscom: 6.50€ per MByte.
But there are monthly plans like 45€ for 2Gbyte included etc.

i don't mean to make you guys feel bad but on my network here in the philippines, it costs less than US$0.20 for every 30 minutes. volume of MB's is not an issue.
Posted by JK
Ours is 0.30 Euros
Posted by EagleRider
Wonder if the MB we download in Norway and Switserland is better quality than the philippina version :=)

maybe ours are pirated MB's that's why...

Well the link clocks my work connection at 300mbps, but doesn't seem to work on my phone. On the computer it refreshes after it tests it, on the phone it does nothing.

In the UK we pay £7.50 for unlimited internet-whether it be GPRS, 3G or HSDPA!
Posted by stevos
Which network are you on that charges £7.5 for unlimited 3g/gprs.
Orange charges £75 per month for that.

in Romania ,on Orange ,with 4 USD /month you get wap unlimeted, it doesn't matter how many MB. On Vodafone with 3 USD/month you get 10 MB of traffic and 1 cent(usd) per 10 kb if you go over those 10 MB

Its called t-mobile Web & Walk.
I find that when I am downloading a large file it is slow to start and then speeds up to around 50kb/s.
Posted by Kimi
I was wondering myself and found this one (HMTL light and WAP):
http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed?jisok=1
It works on my K610 and measured 280kbit/s.
Be patient - it takes some time, depending on testdata size...

why dont u people find some free trick for your 3g we people in india run edge @ the speeds of about 140 kbps for free
Posted by Kwiksta
Okay this is wierd...my speeds are like 10KB/S
Posted by BobaFett
what does this mean?
3 kbit/sec
( 0.826 ) s latency
5.565s d/l time

dslreports is good for testing speed in the US. If you're testing from outside of North America, the latency will be too high resulting in slow rate of download. Basic download protocols verify after each packet is sent, so if you're far from the source, your latency will be high. To do a true test of the speed, you need to see if your service provider hosts such a test service - this will be the most realistic test of your 3G speed.
