As I understand it on GPRS individual packets can travel quite quickly, but
you are not guaranteed any bandwidth, so for transferring a lot of data
reliably this is not the best solution.

Orange HSCSD only runs at 28.8k (half the maximum quoted for my 6310i) but
you do get allocated bandwidth so you should hopefully see a true 28.8k most
of the time.

My initial speed test of HSCSD came in at about 23k download and 20k upload.

Hi,

Thanks for that, I appreciate it.

Looks like it'll do the job I'm after - it's never going to be big, single
file transfers more like small packets of data, biggest probably about 300k
at one go.
Also planning to use *rarely* for checking / sending urgent mails whilst out
of the office.

You use cable or IR, out of curiosity?

Is it really? Great, even better if that means I can trial it without buying
a bolt on at this stage.
I see o2 are doing a free 6310i, free bluetooth headset and a 100min/month
plan for 16.99, which also includes 1mb of data a month.
This might be good too as I know we can buy group MB at a decent enough rate
frm them, so there's another avenue for us to consider!

Hi Ray,

I'm just looking to see if that's still the case - where did you get this
from, I don't see any mention of free GPRS on o"'s site.
