hspa+ modem picked up slightly better speeds in off peak hours 6-8.5 mb so i cant complain
Note that im in a rural area and this means very few users - these speeds seem to be more of the exception rather than the rule when it comes to usually crappy midband products
Some good speeds there on HSPA+ not even sure if we got HSPA+ around here i've no hardware capable of those speeds yet,
Probably lucky your on a rural cell:p with Three their network is fairly crap in built up areas really slow here at peak times,
ill do a test as it gets later it should speed up even more:D0 -

That test couldn't have been done on 3G ?
I'm guessing GPRS or EDGE..2G !! :cool:
Nope definately on 3G - this is about normal for me :mad:
It's took me about a year to convince o2 I'm in a 3G coverage area - they've resorted to telling me they've taken me off contract and I can cancel when I want to - only problem is this is the only form of "broadband" I can get where I am :rolleyes: (that term is used very loosely I might add
) 0 -

lol now I don't feel like I'm imagining things
Trust me mate - its a lot more widespread than most people are aware of - god if i had the money id initiate a full scale survey of all areas in ireland and get as many speedtests together as possible to map out the rubbish nature of this 3g technology0 -

lol - but haven't the powers that be decided we have sufficient BB, so no need for REAL surveys :rolleyes:
Oh for a 1mb download speed :cool:
We could do with an independent survey :P still 3g is not real broadband because ye cant guarantee any sort of quality on it anywhere - no minimum speeds or latency guaranteed anywhere
We will be seeing things aka tripping hard lol if a day should come when Ireland has a full national fibre network for consumers - one was proposed by labour before the election under the name of NETCO but no sign or mention of it since0 -

Nice speeds jay
Ive yet to recieve a responce from three about this group of IP addresses - im not too sure if they are private ips or proper public ips but i am researching that and ill get back to ye if i find anything
Note that you need to use 3internet apn and also get an ip address with 92.xxx.xxx.xxx aka a proper full public address for full open nat and better quality voip capibility
31.200.162.68
Have had some major speed and latency issues during peak times tho so am not happy with the consistancy of my connection at the moment - lets hope today turns out different otherwise another ear bashing is due to three :P
God darn it anyways:

Just picked up a 31.200.xxx.xxx address myself, first time I've ever seen it. Is it an overflow address range you get when all the others are in use?
Best speeds here in a while, but the mornings are alway better will go to nothing later in the day.
btw quick warning for anyone using speedtest.net check what you type as a typo might end you up in a world of pain I just mistyped the URL with two p's and one e and only safe out was to use task manager to kill the browser session.0 -

I cant get a fast speed until after 12 am - latency has been going all over the place which is a worse killer - gladly take 2 mb if i was garenteed a stable ping but am getting neither. here is my best today
That wont last 5 minutes - tried to excalate the case 6 times this week and no joy :mad: ill be back in bijou's result range again in the next 10 minutes
