The Site With the Lamp

May 12, 2008

Did a broadband speed test by connecting up by Nokia E51 with bluetooth to my macbook. The net connection is from Dialog Telekom. It's a tech dinosaur that boasts of a 3.5g network.

Actually I was quite suprised by the result. The network is pretty quick. But how come the upload speed is close to 1mbps while the downlink is only 50? I suspect the download speed would probably be faster if I had used a USB cable instead of bluetooth. Bluetooth as we know it is limited to 1mbps but a faster version is not far off.
