Hello all!
If you use internet sharing, you might be interested in this little application. The problem in using internet sharing, and actually internet through mobile data connection in general, is that the connection drops to WCDMA (3.0G) if there is no data in a certain time. When there is data request to any direction, the phone moves to HSPA (3.5G) network connection and starts the data up- /downlink. This results to 1-3 second ping time, the lag before a website starts loading.
What does my program do then? It sends small ping packages to 8.8.8.8, Google DNS, in certain intervals. This keeps the 3.5G connection activated all the time, and there is no 1-3 second lag in moving to 3.5G from 3G. The program should work with common service providers, but the fact may be that the network in Your country is faster in moving to 3G than here in Finland. In that case experiment with KeepAlive.bat, change the "sleep 7" to example "sleep 4", from 7 second interval to 4 second interval in ping packages.
The application is started by clicking "Run.vbs". The HSPA_Ping folder has to be placed to the root of the C (C:\HSPA_Ping\). If you make a shortcut of the "Run.vbs" to the "Startup" folder, the HSPA Keep Alive program starts automatically with your computer.
The ping package is so small, that it will consume data bandwidth only about 0.4 kbps.
