Hello. Finally have this set up. Payasyougo sim on tmobile and £1 for 24hours. I know this isnt allowed by them but i could do with a payandgo mobile internet for every now and again (bout 2x a month) Whats the speed supposed to be normally? i thought it would be a ok' speed. a speed test on ZDNet came back as 33kbps.

I have used this with o2 pm and get speeds of aroung 440kbps.
When i ring 150 it mentions something like dont pay anything more than £1 for GPRS web&walk and something else.
Yes most likely - in the next few months the speed is likely to increase 100%.
Vodafone have started rolling it out. It's currently available in most of the mjaor citys, as soon as this is complete is will be rolled out to the rest of the country. The highest speed available on Vodafone is currently 1.8mbps
T-Mobile press release from June 2006:
Next year, T-Mobile intends to increase HSDPA speeds up to 3.6 megabits per second. It intends following this with further increases through 7.2 and then 10 megabytes per second, targetting speeds in excess of 20 megabits per second by the end of the decade.
Here's the full release
T-Mobile WnW data cards connect at 3.6mbps in Nottingham city centre, and have true speeds of just over 2mpbs :cool: , only 50kbps when you fall back to GPRS though.
On my K800i on the standard WnW handset tariff (only used to access my ISP's status page and gmail to get my ADSL Login details :rolleyes: ) I have done a speed test, and get around 60kbps at home, and 100kbps in the city centre - I believe that the handset tariffs is speed throttled to stop people using it for laptops.
If they catch ya they'l slap network restrictions on your access speed Ya not gonna get any faster than GPRS cos ya need a data card to get proper 3G Broadband.

Not true at all.
Hmm, why can a Web'n'Walk Datacard SIM in my K800i connect and download faster than my Relax 200 + Web'n'Walk SIM then?
Remember that is how fast you are connected to the modem (i.e. handset)... http://img523.imageshack.us/my.php?image=tmobilebs5.png shows there is a bit of difference (although 3G is much faster than this morning :cool: )
I have no idea, but Tmobile do NOT do throttling.
