Please Help, Q9h 3g and internet incredibly slow..

[southwest2118]

2023 kbit/sec
0.101s latency
4.136s d/l time.






too bad its my home computer with cable....wait...thats sad


and q9h from the DFW with opera
Size: 1MB
Speed: 292kbit/sec
3.966s latency
28.575s d/l time

somethings not right ...if i do it back to back i get different results ..

in IE

Size: 1MB
Speed: 622kbit/sec
0.395s latency
13.564s d/l time

but the first time was like 192kbits per second ?

soo my final conclsion is that these tests are not accurate.

Which is why it is always a good idea to get a set of results (minimum 3) within a same set of parameters and get a trend.

Speedtests vary on a lot of factors: time of day, distance from server, location etc etc...and should be used only to get an idea or indication and not be treated as gospel.

amen to that

If my issue resolves itself and I am back to 600-700k then there will be some semblance of satisfaction, but like ninjaap said we are paying a premium here.

You know what, you're right. For some reason, I thought you were getting the same speeds as me.

Yeah, thats a bit of a drag. You should call and ask why the slow speeds. Can't hurt. Tell them you have friends that get much faster speeds with this phone. What could it hurt ????

Enable band selection:
1. Go to Home Screen
2. Type *#1546792*# and then send
3. You will see new screen that indicates that Band
Selection was enabled
4. Now you can go to Settings/Phone/Network/Band
Selection

when i did it, i saw: "Signalling Error" and nothing happened
maybe because i don't have any 3G connections ?

Try this:

Go into your Windows directory, look for bandselect.exe, and make a shortcut to your start menu. Thats the app with the UI interface itself. Enjoy.

Good deal. Glad it worked. And thanks for the thanks

after 6.1 update saw an average of 600 to 800 kbits/sec. latency down to .500 to 1.5 sec. might just be me but if you havent done it give it a shot !

IE:
490kbit/sec, 0.623s latency, 17.075s d/l time

Opera:
457kbit/sec, 0.528s latency, 18.415s d/l time

heyy my dud ei realized you got WM 6.1 on your Q9h. where did you get it??can i ge tthe link????
