VIRGIN MOBILE - You've Improved

[MyDraadloos]

Noticing a slight improvement in speed when connecting with a U740 card.

That is a bit like using a Ferrari on a gravel road .......

Internet via VM is slower than the famous Harvard tar drop experiment.

I would Google to check my facts, but I can't stand to look at another blank web page.

I have lost my Virgin'ity ...........

Tar Drop Experiment - I treid searching online but I didnt find any solid reference for Tar Drop Experiment; could you possible point me in the right direction - I am intrigued by this now. All i can find is references to "Pitch Drop Experiment" is this the same?

I think I have posted this before; but this is what resolved the connection issue with my Samsung D900

In the Windows Control Panel; Open the Phones and Modems dialog.
Select the |Modems| index tab
From the list, select the Samsung Modem (If its bluetooth; it'll show Bluetooth modem) and click on Properties
Click-on the Advanced index tab and add this Extra Initialisation command:

AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","VDATA"

I am however not sure if this wil work with all phones, but I do know it helps for my D900.

Zabzoo i have a D 900 too and those settings were given to me by customer service when i first started using VM and it makes no difference unless i'm in the Gauteng area because it seems to me that VM was predominantly only set up for the Gauteng area and not the rest of SA. No wonder i had a heart attack recently

Interesting - thanks for the update. Its a pity that Gauteng gets favoured because there is more business here for them.

You, sir, are a star. This did it for my D900 connection to Virgin. Don't you love the Internet?

When you initially setup your phone with Virgin they give you that command to enter exactly as you have done so now. I have a Samsung D900 and D900i and both work perfectly
