Best internet download speed through bluetooth phone?
Hi, When connected to the internet through a bluetooth phone I can't seen to find someone reporting more than 20-25 kbyte/second even with 3G or 3.5G phones + unlimited data plans in France at least. With my Nokia 6086 which is EDGE only I get 20-25 kbyte/second spikes and overall average of 10-15 kbyte/second which is as expected. I'm evaluating wether or not to buy a 3.5G phone like the Nokia E51. If you're in France or Europe you can test download speed in a X Terminal as follows: wget http://test1.guerby.org/test -O /dev/null Hit C-c after a few minutes once you've got an idea of download speed (test file is 10 Mbyte of compressed data). If not in Europe replace the URL with one of any compressed file URL near you. I'm interested in data plan/phone combo that get good download speed in France. Thanks!

Re: Best internet download speed through bluetooth phone?
Laurent, I can't help with respect to France but it so happens that yesterday while in a room inside of the Washington DC convention center I ran the DSLreports Internet Speed test and I was clocking ~126kbps on a Verizon Wireless EVDO connection to an N800 running the stock OS2007. The two speed test www sites that I have used successfully in recent times are: http://www.broadbandreports.com/speedtest and http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest The second one tests in both directions but is not specific to mobile devices.

Re: Best internet download speed through bluetooth phone?
guys a few more data points for DUN rates. these are all gsm phones in a umts network in the US (att). htc tilt 580kbps lg cu500 600kbps samsung sync 320kbps moto razr v3xx 550kbps I believe the tests were all using a bt1.2 adapter on one side or the other so the lg for example might be hitting a throughput ceiling for bluetooth. -- Brad ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users

Hi Laurent, I just got a new SE W890 which has Edge and 3.5G (I can't figure out if that's the same thing...). I'm using the PAN to connec to my N810 to the phone's modem. The sevice provider is 3 (http://www.three.com/) and I have a 1GB/month plan at Euro 21. With your test file (from Sweden at night), I got up to 55Kb/s with an average at around 44Kb/s. Good luck with your search! /henrik ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users
