375487 2005-07-26 22:26:00 what speeds can you expect on a cellphone? it doesn't seem too bad9.6k is about the top out for using a phone to dial up. However most phones don't use that for the internet now, and you get about 33.6k off vodafone live era phones, and telecom's t3g network has a theroetical top out of 2mpbs. Vodafones next gen network (still being setup.. I played with it yesterday at Ingram's Showcase) will have a theoretial top out of 10mbps, but less than that when it first goes live.

375488 2005-07-26 22:32:00 Telecom met all service quality measures in the 2003/2004 year.
...
Telecom must ensure 95 per cent of all existing residential lines meet a 14.4 kps (kilobytes per second) connect speed and 99 per cent meet 9.6 kps. Well that would be true for DSL connections.

Bag 1 was my pick should I have been drawn. (methodical I guess) but I can't remember your face. The only face I can still pick was the lady with the unpronouncable name who got a booby prize.
