BlackBerry speed tests

Where is the app cant find it on Storm

Says it is installed on app loader

Holy ***** is that your speed can be thats AWESOME



Personally I've got no objection to a reduced max file size if it solves the network congestion problem. 5mb does seem a bit on the small side though.

its always been 5megs
 
Must say that since the _upgrade_ my phone has been way more responsive and usable than it was from the day I received, so thanks to VodacomData for really getting things sorted and sticking to his word :D

I have noticed a slow down since last night though and these are the two speed tests done for today, hoping that it will improve come Monday week during Business hours.

This may not be BIS specific, as I see someone else mentioning problems with International sites in the Vodacom main forum, so it may just be a glitch due to that.

Just check again now:

The speeds that you reporting is really no improvement. You should change your sig back to NO imo if that's the best you getting.

It seems to be getting better now on my side again, trip digit download figures.

I do so want to be positive and hoping that this will be sorted completely though.

The Storm has 3G which is why it seems to be storming away :D

Will have to decide whether my Xmas box is going to have a Bold2 or Storm2 in it ;)

I have never had the benefit of EDGE coverage only, GPRS on VC.

Here are my speed test results for this morning.
Its about the same as i got last sunday before the upgrade. I guess the true indication of the extend of the upgrade will be with tomorrows speed tests.

So, today is the 25th, I seem to remember some Vodacom drone announcing here that the link will be fixed by the 24th. My bold is at the office, so I can't check, are there any improvements?
