Please log in for more thread options The practical maximum of GPRS is indeed 40-50 kbps downling and 10-15 kbps
uplink (with current 4+1 slot devices). With EDGE, I've measured speeds up
to 200-210 kbps (downlink; uplink is, naturally, much slower), which heavily
depended on the network operator. That is, even if you have EDGE and good
signal, your device may only receive stuff at 80-100 kbps.
