HSCSD on 02?

Hi everyone,

Anyone tell me anything about HSCSD? I'm looking to use this on 02, as from
what I see it gives fast transfer speeds - we're sending files inc. photos,
so speed is everything.

When I spoke to o2, they said they knew about GPRS but weren't sure about
this, but it was probably the same thing.

Nokia ( using a 6310i ) lists WAP, GPRS and HSCSD, so I'm guessing it isn't
the same.

Any ideas? I'm looking to get a bolt on to try this service out, but like I
say o2 weren't actually sure of what it was!

Regards,

Dave.

Thanks,

Dave.

Thanks Neil,

Hmm. So my choice is stick with 42k at best, or more if I switch to
Orange - is that right?

No.
From the Orange web site:

Orange High Speed Data operates at up to 28.8kbps

So HSCSD is slower than GPRS

OK, the stated limits are 28.8 for HSCSD; 42K for GPRS...........but do u
ever come close to them on peak hour usage (5-8pm)?

As I understand GPRS, GPRS (the technology itself, I suppose it'll vary
depending on how the network service providers implement it) can
theoretically manage about 171.2Kbps (ideal conditions using Coding Scheme-4
and 8 timeslots), which would be nice. Realistically speaking, it only gets
up to around 40-ish Kbps in general use. No idea how it varies with peak
time though (although I'd be interested to hear).

Thanks everyone,

Interesting, that info - I appreciate it!

I'll give it a whirl and see how it goes, I can get a GPRS bolt on easily
enough and try the project for a month!

Regards,

Dave.

I was refering to gprs, not hsd. 14.4 at normal call charges, 28k is a
little more.
