[omaralt]

hey guys, i'm connecting to the internet using the 5.99 tzones deal. when i test my net speed at www.dslreports.com/mspeed i'm getting a speed of about 59kbit/sec... if some u guys can also test urs out, and let me know if i'm slower than normal or what? also if your using the 29.99 plan, how fast is your connection.. i'd be interested to know how much faster that plan is. thanks

i live in Nashville. I was in Chicago last weekend and was getting the same speeds....

my internet settings for t-mob web:

In Settings/Connections/GPRS/T-Mobile Data:
T-Mobile Data
Connects to: WAP Network
Access Point: wap.voicestream.com

AND add another GPRS option:

T-Mobile Data2
Connects to: Work
Access Point: wap.voicestream.com

Then create TWO Proxies:
Settings/Connections/Proxy

First Proxy:
Name:Tzones Proxy
Connects from: WAP Network
Connects to: The Internet
Proxy: 216.155.165.50:8080
Type: HTTP

Second Proxy:
Name Tzones Proxy2
Connects from: Work
Connects to: The Internet
Proxy: 216.155.165.50:8080
Type: HTTP

In connections, click menu, then advance and set ALL connections to AUTOMATIC

To get the Exchange server working:
(Exchange server settings)
Options/Advanced
Connection: Internet (This is the only option on my Dash)


To get Pop mail accounts working:
(This will need to be done for each account you have)

Options/Account settings/Advanced Server Settings
Network Connection: Work

To get IE working:
(In IE)Menu/Tools/Options/Connections
Check "Automatically Detect Settings"
Select Network: WAP Network

hey thanks for the info...

i changed the settings to the ones u gave me, its kinda working, but in IE, i keep getting an error:

Error: the remote party has ended this connection..

do u get this message? do u know how to get rid of it?

and some websites are not working (even though the ones that are seem a lot quicker). thanks

[omaralt]

hey its weird, but actually none of the websites were working... i just went back to my original settings and now everything is fine again.

in my settings, i have no proxies, and just one gprs. i dont know, i guess i shouldnt mess around with it if its working, thanks for ur help

I'm seeing similar speeds here as well. :)

[shiggins9]

I don't know how you get those speeds. Registering about 65kbit/sec here in NYC. I'm going to keep playing w the settings.

8525 w $5.99 T-Mobile Web

[omaralt]

those are the same speeds i'm getting in my apt in ft. lauderdale, but yesterday i was at a friends house, also in ft. lauderdale, and was getting speeds of around 130! dunno what it is, guess some towers are quicker than others. btw, i had full reception in both places

I just downloaded Yahoo 2.0 and the 780k file took like one second to download. I couldnt believe it. So I saw this post and did the speed test. When I clicked on 100k, it told me the file transferred too fast and choose a larger file. So I chose 1MB, and the damn thing says my speed is 592kb/s! Holy chit! all on a 5.99 plan!

:cool:
just thought I would post that.Oh yeah RSSI = 21

I'm in Switzerland.
Getting results between 129k..159k in my house, on the swisscom network.

Keep in mind, GPRS/EDGE is sharing the bandwith between users in the same cell. So if currently I'm the only one pulling with 150k and somebody else jumps at it, I would be getting 75k... theoretically.
So I'm not surprised you guys in NYC are getting lower results. A lot more traffic than outside the city.

Thanks for the info, those settings pretty much doubled my internet speed on my dash.
