Re: 3G I use 3G with unlimited data downloads. Cingular just lit up their 3G HSDPA in Ft. Lauderdale a couple weeks back, so my 2-year, $59/mo contract was worth it. I went from 130/48 kbps EDGE to 1300/350 kbps 3G, HSDPA (High Speed Downlink Packet Access) with a Sierra 860 AirCard, with the acceleration turned off.
For managing and uploading to websites away from the office, this can't be beat (yet). But then again, there was a day in the past that I thought a 286 CPU was fast.
The max throughput for HSDPA (per an obscure magazine article) is suppose to be around 14.4 mb/s. Cingular has their local wireless connections throttled back to around 1400 kbps on an 1800 kbps connection. |
