    Don't understand how you guys make out the latency is near to dsl. This is my first try to ping board.ie from my dsl:

    Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

    C:\Documents and Settings\boopolo>ping boards.ie

    Pinging boards.ie [89.234.66.107] with 32 bytes of data:

    Having said that, the figures given here are very impressive from O2. Hurry up O2 with an affordable 5gb or 10gb data package addon for mobile phone users.

    Like I already said its not that far from dsl when you compare it to the typical ping of hspda, obviously its still a fair bit from a ping of a good dsl connection.

    Strange arithmetic. to me x3 is very far (best HSDPA ever seen vs poor DSL). Typical DSL to HSDPA is x10 difference to x100 different.
