Hi all
Just realised that yesterday i actually used the wrong VodaFone connection this is the result using VodaFone Internet which gives a much better result as you can see. But i will try again at some point from a different location.
But even this speed is approximately 4.5 times faster than standard 3G @384kbps.
@Miss UK
Sorry to disappoint you but it is just not possible for you to be getting 5.2mbps as the max speed your N95 8GB will handle is 3.6mbp, so not sure how you arrived at that figure. I think the 1086kbps is your speed which is just over 1mbps and still nearly 3 times faster than 3G.

Bloody hell! (excuse my french) thats an excellent connection speed. The more i read into Vodafone at the moment the more appealing they become. Thanks for that Marc (good to have you back on here by the way, after a few months absence i believe).
@Miss UK, good to hear you can receive good speeds too in the W-Midlands being based there myself.
Now thinking possibly:
1 - take contract on Voda with N95 8GB
2 - sell N95 8GB
3 - purchase N82 Black via Nokia direct

Oh sorry, must not be paying as much attention these days!
just remember you getting/giving a bit of grief earlier in the year thats all (well, some fine heated debates against some 'blinkered fanboys' to be honest if i remember correctly
) and mentioning you were going to shy away from Esato for a while.
Anyway, getting back to the thread subject Voda are definately looking positive for my vote but have yet to see what orange retention deal i can get. If they won't budge on their measly/expensive data then in all likelihood i'll be tasting some of those high download speeds first hand very soon

Marc I tested that with Vodafone live connection!
theres 4 other settings which are available from Vodafone on the N95-2.
thespeed keeps varies btw I used some mobile speed test site called:
broadbandchoices.co.uk
since ive upted my data my accounts unavailbe to get into yet my 3.5g seems alot quicker then it was a few days ago, the 3.5g actually stays on the phone most of the time but sometimes refers to 3g
Im located near the merryhill centre in the midlands
yeah you should test the N95-2 its a good handset quite capable of anything tbh
I popped into Vodafone store saturday and picked up the new mag for May eveything you need to know about the new plans is is there
Just looking at my account from Vodafone and they have completely moved me onto the new £30 tariff 150 anytime network mins and 500 texts with 500MB data without extending me priorley another 6mths :wink:
I may have to see if Passports still free cos I use myphone to text Germany and with that you save on texts :wink:

Hi Miss UK
I would suggest using the VodaFone Internet APN as all the others are Wap connections although i saw as high as 998kbps on that connection which is close to the 1086kbps you got. But the Max speed your device can get is 3.6mbps as that is it's maximum ability with the hardware it has it is just not possible for it to exceed that speed how ever great it is.
The iPhone speed test i use works directly on the phone so if you have a screenshot app is easy to record. Try using a VodaFone Internet connection to,
i.dsir.net/tinyspeedtest.html
in your Web address and see what it reports.
Marc

Will do later..
Vodafone Internet connection doesn't work lately but the other links to the net do, might delete and resend them to the phone and see if it works again, Vodafone live works well though and Vodafone Java

Hi ayejatt
I have answered you via PM in more detail but phone 191 to check your plan with a rep is my advice.
Marc

Thanks Marc,
I called 191 and the rep said i am on my "old plan" and I have been moved to the new plan now and when i asked "have i been charged for the data used in the past 2 days" and she said no although the unbilled charges on my next bill is £43.XX(seen online). Guess will have to call them when i get the next statement then,
