Question D/L U/L speed?

Any idea the actual speed, say using speedtest.net
With my HTC 6800 I used to get 1,000-2,500kbps down and 150-500kbps up

now with my BB Storm and tetherberry I get 300-700kbps down and 15-100kbps up...

is this normal or is there any way to get a better speed with this setup..
their support says it's not their software causing it.

Also is this a BB thing or tetherberry deal...


Abacus America, which my IP comes back to aplus.net...
also shows me being closest to San Diego, CA when im in Oregon

Any suggestions, or info would be very much appreciated...



Mark

Can anyone tell me if Either Tetherberry or MobiShark, Would improve the download speeds on my computer when using the 8320 as a modem?

I have been using the standard tethering method for my 8320, and it has gotten really slow lately. Before I switch to Alltel I am looking for some suggestions.

I've been using TetherBerry on my 8830 VZW and getting an average of 1.5 Mb downloads. I use TetherBerry to access my corp VPN for RDP access providing server support. I find TetherBerry very helpful, when I'm on the road with no wifi hot spot.

Anone using Tetherberry with TMO with good results? What kind uof speeds are you getting out of your connection?

I just put Mobishark on my 8320 and my notebook. I remember now how painfully slow the connection is with MobiShark. I had it on my 7100i last year and stopped using that phone and Sprint.

I wonder if Mobi will send me a new reg code since I took it off the old phone?

Thanks for the help.........

Problem with TMO is that you are limited to the speed of the EDGE connection.

YMMV but during the beta test, TetherBerry between my 8220 and Dell D620 was no faster than tethering without it: 100kbps over EDGE, 200kbps over WiFi (i.e. using my Flip as a WiFi adapter).

Default It is...

...really great. I happen to be one of the lucky ones that won a copy. I had it set up in minutes and I can use it easily. I think that even if I had not won the copy I would have purchased a copy.

Yeah but we all know how money hungry ATT is. Can't they just block it. If they do I will have just wasted $50.
