Someone bench marked Safaricom 3g ( when the net is stable ) and download speeds were in the range of 60-140KB/s ( equivalent of 512k-1024k bandwidth). What about Zuku? benchmark and share pls. :-)

I can share that Orange 3g+ ( EVDO ) is slower than a dailup on downloads/uplaods. Max download is 7-9KB/s while upload is about 3-5KB/s. I switched back to Orange Edge........ -- Sign on my car is " L " plates : c#.net

@aki I dont get such speeds. . .I test using speedtest.net and this is what I get http://www.speedtest.net/result/538033120.png On Wed, Aug 12, 2009 at 10:13 AM, aki<aki275@googlemail.com> wrote:

Mark, that 2Mbit download is about 250KB/s download.( I used to get those on local loops eg local hosted server and client access until they messed with local routing in Jan..) You are tempting me back to 3g but until they resolve internal tech issues and stabilize the domino effect, I'll hold back. I think the best test is the buffering of videos, that should no longer be there. -- Sign on my car is " L " plates : c#.net

Attached are speed tests I did a long time ago in the pre-Seacom days when I was in the process of moving from AFOL iburst 512 to a Zuku 512 connection. On the best seeded torrents, the highest download speeds I got were 140KB/s Average of good torrents and Ubuntu updates has been 60. 2009/8/12 Mark Mwangi <mwangy@gmail.com>

From the pdf file, its kbps , not KB/s. Big difference there : kbps is circuit speed while KB/s is data tranfer speed. Conversion from kbps into KB/s is /8. Therefore, the 512kbps connection on an average gave you 7.5KB/s @ 60kbps. Thats pretty slow ( similar to 3g+ )when considering safcom 3g gives upto 140KB/s @ 1120kbps.
