Heres mine right now not as great now til it gets later.

I have gotten the 31.200 a few times noticed a slight improvement in page loading but not alot better than the older ranges.

Can't get 11Mb/s here at home the tests i done above were done closer to the mast i seem to max out at around 8Mb/s here at home.:(

Just tested Meteor there doesn't seem too bad latency ain't great tough..

I never got rid of it, at best all 3 Mobile Broadband does for me is keep the dial up phone bill down to a managable level

OK..... who switched the tap on???????



:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

(Probably spoke too soon :D:D)

speeds drop and latency rises to nearly 3000ms = 3 seconds :mad:

Ooooh....... sounds like a challenge looming :P

Although gladly I might struggle (not often I can say that:D ) probably won't be long before it returns to "normal" though :rolleyes::rolleyes:

So here's a challenge for you how are you getting replies of over 4000ms? I'm asking as Windows ping with no switches gives up after 4000ms with a "Request timed out".


Ping for XP

-w Timeout : Specifies the amount of time, in milliseconds, to wait for the Echo Reply message that corresponds to a given Echo Request message to be received. If the Echo Reply message is not received within the time-out, the "Request timed out" error message is displayed. The default time-out is 4000 (4 seconds).

Surprisingly good on 3 for the time of day:

I'm on XP and I still managed to get these high pings (here's one result):
http://speedtest.net/result/1705577990.png

Up until a few days ago this was common - don't know what's changed but if I can stay on or around 1mb d/l speed I'll be a happy bunny:D
My issue with o2 hasn't been resolved, in fact they've taken me off contract and asked me to call them to cancel the whole thing (which I'm not gonna do as I literally have no other BB options alternatively I revert back to dial-up.... not gonna happen:rolleyes:).

Sorry thought you were using the cmd promt with the ping command like warlikedave and reporting the time taken for the Echo request from there. afaik (and I must check) I think speedtest.net times out its ping at 5000 ms.

No problem
Although in using the cmd prompt I have had it hit the high 4000's before, not sure if I still have the screen shot - must have a look

Your connection has taken a serious nosedive is there any improvement at all?



Mine is not great at all tonight to top it all off my DSL connection is gone a bit wonky aswell pings are flying over the 1000ms mark speeds drop to 0kb/s it's driving me crazy lol!!

TBH the Three connection is more stable than Eircom even :eek:



few minutes later it's going faster already oh the joys of mobile BB

-=al=-

Three taking the proverbial piss today



Thank fook the contract is up in a week

Am using the powershell ISE cmd version available in windows 7 with a few mods have verified it with speedtest anyways. Its no competition when it comes to 3g technology..tis damn unreliable


Any improvement? Not really...it fluctuates between great speeds and pings to total collapse within a few minutes and then back again...it can stay stuck on collapse mode for a while. Unreliable it is lol

bijou

Hmmmm..... now this is the time of day when I'd expect the speeds to be really bad (ie, when the kids have come home from school facebooking/twittering it etc etc etc )



Not that I'm complaining like

jay93

Awaiting the buses full of school people to arrive then this won't be so fast then!

not that it gets bad slows to around 1Mb/s at worst most the time



jitter is very low on the connection today

bijou

Man...... I'm loving this




And this is probably the lowest jitter I've seen as well

baords dyslexic

3's been better for the last week but its improved before only to get worse again later so only time will tell - the time of day is important.



Signal strength on router shows at 16%

bijou

Knew it was too good to be true........:rolleyes::rolleyes:

bijou

Can someone explain this?????

ping 360ms d/l speed -0.22Mbps u/l speed 0.20Mbps



I have tried to attach a screenshot but boards is telling me service is unavailable

-=al=-

just copy the forum code from speedtest.net and bobs your uncle
