Indestructable Posted April 7, 2006 CID Share Posted April 7, 2006 post the first topic on mycingular.net It's slow. Though, it is also Cingular, who charges you for each kilobyte you transfer. The customer service reps tell me that it's supposed to run at about fax speed, as in 9-14 kbps...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimPawlak Posted May 28, 2006 CID Share Posted May 28, 2006 cingular... geeze i didnt even know they had internet service lol- Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indestructable Posted May 29, 2006 Author CID Share Posted May 29, 2006 Yea, they do, it's just incredibly slow. I think, in all seriousness, I am going to sit down and write a letter to Cingular HQ and explain to them that if they don't catch up with the other phone companies sometime soon, they are going to lose all sorts of customers. I mean, for god's sake, a year and a half after Verizon comes out with about 10 music-player phones cingular comes out with one that's got iTunes on it. So, Verizon says 'ok' and does the same.......and their phone is out a week later!!!! I'm not saying I don't like Cingular, though, for all the crap I have been through with them replacing my phone about 7 times, and constantly having a bill of at least $20 over what it should be, they should pay me to be a customer! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amish Posted May 30, 2006 CID Share Posted May 30, 2006 yeah, wireless internet service is cool no matter what speed. I'm posting now with t-mobile internet service, been using it for the past few days no problems, on the edge network. just a little slower than they said. but using a phone as a modem to a laptop, usual speeds from 90-200kbps tmodns.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indestructable Posted June 16, 2006 Author CID Share Posted June 16, 2006 how much are you paying for edge access? My phone can use it, i just don't want to tack on another $80 a month onto my $120 phone bill!! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drjekel_mrhyde Posted June 20, 2006 CID Share Posted June 20, 2006 Do you live in a 3G HSPA cingular city if so you should use that instead of edge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted June 20, 2006 CID Share Posted June 20, 2006 cingulars stuff is slow because the haven't opened it up all the way, hopefully they will someday. In general all this stuff is slow but at least on verizons EVDO they opened it up and made it actually useable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdf216 Posted September 19, 2008 CID Share Posted September 19, 2008 Slow? i don't think so I have unlimited with 3G and have hit as high as 4400 kbps down and 1500 kbps up using the opera mini browser on the dual test. Posting from the phone right now in fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posting from the phone right now in fact. First no 3G service will go that fast right now. your luck if you get 2mbps right now. And second, You can't use the opera mini browser to do a speed test. Opera mini uses a proxy to display the full page. The page is downloaded and rendered on there server. So when you do a speed test using opera mini, the test is actually taken on operas server, not the phone. Blackberry's do the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinlay Posted September 19, 2008 CID Share Posted September 19, 2008 Opera mini gives false results, you should give opera mobile a try if you have a windows mobile phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
