I just got 6.09 kilobytes per second on a 1.4MB zip file that I
downloaded using my EDGE-capable Nokia 6200 as a modem (with my ATTWS
SIM and only 3 bars). I tried the same with my T-Mobile SIM (also
getting 3 bars), and I got 2.85 kilobytes per second. I switched to the
DKU-5 data cable so I could better position the phone, and tried the
ATTWS SIM again (wavering between 3-5 bars). When I did that, I got an
impressive 8.82 kilobytes per second. That’s between 50 and 70 kilobits
per second, much more than the 20-30 kilobits per second I’d been
getting with GPRS in the past.
