edge speed

[zefram]

hi,

i realize that edge speed would vary drastically between locations, but what is the theoretical maximum speed of virgin's edge?

 

[ziggler]

Theoretical speeds for edge are anything between 120kbps and 320kbps, thats what I was getting on Cell C, So it should also be so on virgin as virgin is piggy backing on Cell C's infrastructure

The maximum theoretical speed if 236.8 kb/s with 4 timeslots (59.2 kb/s * 4). See http://www.3g.co.za/content/view/70/33/ if you more more details.

thanks to all for the replies. I went out and bought a virgin sim card today, and i'm surfing with it now. I have poor signal here, with only 3 bars on my phone, but browsing is ok and i haven't lost the connection yet.

here are some speed tests for anybody who is interested:

GamCo 47.50kbps or 5.94 KB/sec http://www.gam.co.za/connectivity/bandwidth.php
Axxess 74.00kbps or 9.25 KB/sec http://www.axxess.co.za/speed-test.php
IS 56 kbits/s or 7 KBytes/s http://speedtest-rba.isdsl.net/

When I connect the computer says connected at 436 kbps. But actual download speed is around 30kbps.

Thats the speed of the connection between the PC and the Phone.
