@mrao- I mentioned a dl speed of 15kb/s, not the connectivity speed. Connectivity speed on an EDGE network with an EDGE enabled handset would go upto 180kbps~200kbps.
If you say that you get twice the speed~ pls elaborate

I already have....a few posts prior to this one....i average 5 to 7 KBps...which is a minimum of 40 kbps...which is actually more than twice the 15 kbps you mentioned  Im presuming you meant 15 KBps Theres a difference between Kilobytes per sec and kilobits per sec

Amby, giving you the specification of my phone data capabilities:-
GPRS multislot class 10 (max 4+1, 3+2 time slots), speed up to 53.6 kbps.
EGPRS (EDGE) multislot class 10 (max 4+1, 3+2 time slots), speed up to 236.8 kbps.

Thats the theoretical maximum...not necessarily so in real time network conditions

I thought there was class 12 devices (especially from motorola) ,which is the maximum in theory.
Btw,airtel gprs needs serious upgradation,speeds are way too slow at peak hours.

Thanks again Sudipt, but all that didn't make much sense to me. I'll do a search and read up on gprs and egprs technology. |

@amby, perhaps This Article might interest you! 
mrao, how and where do you check your gprs speed?
I did it on dslreport the other day and it reported a speed of 4 kBps which is around 32kbps..NOT BAD IS IT??
T230 >> T610 >> Ngage QD >> N73 >> N85 >> Omnia HD >> And countless other review units |

Download a tool called Netmeter....it shows you upload/download speeds on real time basis from yer system tray

I have Compaq laptop connected to dial-up internet (50 kbps) via K700i and Bluetooth connection. MS XP SP2 and K700i allow serial port speed of 400+ kbps when using GPRS (from VodafoneNZ) or 14.4 kbps when connected by VF WAP (9.6 kbps with my wife's Z600 on WAP).
GPRS in NZ is 53 kbps, optimised to approx 90kbps - I've tested it, I got 95 kbps on a ADSL(256 kbps) internet connection.
3G in NZ is 384 kbps, optimised up tp approx 500 kbps. Unfortunately, reception is not available where I live.
I dial *99# to connect to GPRS, and a number supplied by my ISP to connect to VF WAP (not recommended).

I believe if you get 16kbits effective throughput on GPRS it is good. EDGE will give you much more with good coverage.
