I'm going slightly off topic here, so please forgive me...
Can anyone explain the bizarre range of speeds available on mobile
phones/dongles today?
On my 3G treo (in O2 3G coverage) I can get about 120 kbps in the UK
and Ireland. If I select GPRS only here I'm lucky to get 50 kbps,
though in Ireland I have obtained over 250 kbps (I assume this to be
EDGE not GPRS). Speeds take from [1] with the 200k test.
And regardless of what I use, when connected to my PC it always
displays 115 kbps as the connection speed!
