ADSL 4 Mbps versus HSDPA

i had the use of a 4096 line for a week and a bit, did about 3.5 to 3.8 gig a day.so it got to 80% to 85% of max

You are fortunate.

My experience is very close to the report's ADSL performance.

Keep in mind: The report gives average user experience. Some users on 4Mb ADSL will have a lightning fast experience, others will have a service worse than dial-up.

It would be interesting to see how the Neotel fast internet service is going to perform in terms of user speeds compared to advertised speeds.
 
Interesting scenario. I have a Dell Latitude notebook connected with Cat5 100Mbps and a regular desktop connected in the same way. The desktop gives me 1Mbps on international and 3-4Mbps local. The notebook gives me around 400Mbps international and 800 local. Both using nat on the same router via same switch - no PPPoE. Hmmmmm!

:confused:

What happens when you try using the exact same cat-5 cable with the notebook that your desktop PC is attached with?
 
With 4MB broadband, 393kb/s download speed is quite normal. I have an 8MB line in London and download speeds reach 700kb/s at best of times and 250 at the worse.

When I lived in Southfields in London I had a 24MB connection which only downloaded at 600kb/s.
 
Uplink speed limitation

The report echos my experiences as well:

Telkom 4M ADSL is much slower than VC HSDPA on the international link.

VC HSDPA shows intenational web pages usually much faster than Telkom super ADSL inspite of the difference in advertised speeds.

Thanks for telling me that MTN is limiting uploads to a rediculous 64k. Yesterday I advised a client loyal to MTN to get the E220 type modem contracts. I already called him and he was shocked that the company he is loyal to offers such a rediculous service.

MTN is not limiting upload - HSDPA technology does not allow for faster upload. You have to wait for HSUPA to have a faster upload.

You are incorrect, see the following:

Not sure how to explain this to you, but I will try to explain it the way I understand it:
Release|Implementation Sequencing:Classification name:Downlink Speed:Uplink Speed:
0[searchforum]"3G-R99"[/searchforum]384kbits/s64kbits/s
1HSDPA-11.8Mbits/s384kbits/s
2HSDPA-23.6Mbits/s384kbits/s
3HSUPA-17.2Mbits/s~2Mbits/s
4HSUPA-2~14.4Mbits/s~5..7Mbits/s

Only noticed now you missed a HSDPA-3: 7200/384.

Unfortunately I don't know the correct release names|versions, I would like to replace HSDPA-1 & HSDPA-2 & HSUPA-1 & HSUPA-2 with the correct release names, but I wasn't aware that 7.2Mbits/s HSDPA could be implemented independently of ~2Mbits/s HSUPA.

I'll ask the clever guys for the names but I suspect they might just be HSDPA 1.8, HSDPA 7.2, etc.
