Aye - bit tempermental to say the least :P butan hour later it was at 6mbps :Dthats the problem with mobile - tis nomadic and inconsistant



That lloks like conjestion again - this is always going to be the main problem with mobile services with variable users in each sector/cell perday with limited bandwidth and cell shrinkage wiht more users present

3 months on how am I still getting away with it.:D

jay93

much better than earlier :D
alot of people must have been online yesterday as the download was really bad its mostly like that every sunday tough seems to be the worst day around here

signed up with o2 but am going to send the modem back as speeds are absolutely rubbish!



it has been this slow since around 3pm this afternoon and maxed out at 1.2-1.8mbps this morning:(

You should try 3 again foggy lad their speeds seem to be a lot better than when you were last with them

foggy_lad

not tonight they're not! have a 3pay sim with a weeks mobile broadband on it and the speeds tonight are rubbish worse then o2 but people on o2 are probably now using their 3 modems because an o2 3G mast in carlow is not working. and o2 also continue to sell cheap broadband to students so i would probably be better with vodafone for mobile broadband?

etcetc

reasonable enough

foggy_lad

are you in carlow etcetc? my speed has been rubbish all night! it has improved somewhat now after the hoards of students start to nod off to sleep in front of their laptops:)

did these at around 11:40, speedtest sites time is an hour behind.

Tethering my iPhone on 3 network and ran this speed test...surely it can't be right.

sweet mother of jesus - i dont think they are trying the new HSPA+ upgrades (theoretical 42mb download) until next year plus the relaistic speed even with that upgrade wouldnt hit that...if you see the same thing again do multiple test and disconnect and reconnect and do a few more and see if its stable...its very unlikely that its accurate...

could be a glitch in the speedtest site it does that a few times odd bursts of speeds it gets but if you are constantly getting speeds like that then id be very happy :D

Mine was fairly bad the last few days, i was putting it down to the weather but others here seem to have had slow days to so many nation wide issue.
Old ZTE modem couldn't get out of 3G and newer 5830 was stuck in that WCMPA or something like that. Seems fine now again, even popup errors in FF have gone.
