Boosting Airtel GRPS speed

Airtel GRPS

Hi friends!

Lets discuss about Airtel GRPS related issues.

S

3 to 7kbps is too low. are you talking about 3 to 7KBps?
1KBps=8kbps

3 to 7Kbps is perfectly ok i would say.

S

download manager mention speed in KB/s , so in your case 3-7 KB/s means 24-56kbps which is good speed for gprs connection, and your handset k750i is not EDGE enabled, you cant get higher speeds without changing handset to EDGE enabled handset.
so this is the maximum speed in your case.

I appreciate your feedback. Thank you!

T

I also use Airtel GPRS. For my region it is 199 Rs per month (unlimited download) !! Believe it, it was Rs 99 only (unlimited download) 2/3 months back.

I get average speed of 7/8 KBps, and on lucky times limewire/free download manager show 10 KBps. Btw using it on a NOKIA 6070 for past 1 month.

A

Guys, I'm getting only 4 to 5KBps speed in N70. So I would say it is the normal speed.

Alan..if ur mobile is Egde enabled, u can get speed upto 12KBps...contact Customer care.

T

Is there a difference in speed while using bluetooth and data cable ? As you guys have said ur bluetooth connection is showing slower speed as compaired to my CA 42 cable connection. I even use a low range model N 6070. IS THERE A SPEED DIFF BETWEEN DATA CABLE & BLUETOOTH WHEN USING GPRS ?

IR should increase speed (i think)but y u guys pay for it.Usin APNAZ trick its free .......iam browsin through that

X

Dude I get a download speed of 25kbps. Me using a nokia 6630.

hey xenon how do u get that speed!!!!!!!!!!! what connectivity tool do u use IR BLUETOOTH OR DATA CABLE and do u use AIRTEL or etc...

That trick doesnt work with SE phones does it.!!

i hv SE W810i (Class 10 Edge)

R

@ AZZU
wat speed do u get?

Im using 6681 with data cable and I get speeds upto 24 KiBps in Kolkata, Bluetooth will limit you to about 12-13 KiBps, IR is even slower but not available on this phone

data cable will giv better speeds than bluetooth .....

>25 KBps here .. on a 6681 with DKU2

i get horrifying 480 kbps wid my n90

hey DIPEN apnaz tricks works in all gprs and wap broser enaeld phones i get a speed of 2-4 kbps (shown on my DAP)and i also get the same speed usin MO(mobileoffice).

i get 24-26kbps at nite on MO

Do anybody have wireless internet like Tata Indicom or Reliance Rconnet? What download speed are you getting?

A

Can you tell me if there is an unlimited data download offer of Hutch. Also mention how much does it cost.

I get around 9 - 12 kBps using Nokia 6681 and DKU-2 Cable while Blue tooth it reaches in the range of 7-9 kBps while downloading any file in opera. These download speeds are consistent after some initial period when the downloading speed shows upto 30 kBps.
btw
What is APNAZ trick ?

I always get 16-26 kB/ps on AirTel EGPRS/EDGE (on Airtel MobileOffice) with my Nokia 6233... subscribed for the monthly pack.

What on earth is this APNAZ trick . Willl anyone explain?

Dude do u use tradition Windows Dialup Connection or the one provided by Nokia software..

and does it matter..if u use any of those..coz am using SE W810i and i hav the software bt i use traditional one..

Which one do u use..!!

i m using 6681 and 6230i bt both limit to max 4 to 6kb with bluetooth ,can i get more speed

no idea abt 6681 but 6230i must give more speed..

6230i has Class 10 EDGE......

oh yeah...that mite be the problem..i didnt consider it..!!

@Josan, I have 6681 and i have experienced that cable (DKU-2) give better performance than Blue tooth. You can try using cable.

BTW Nokia 6681 also has Class 10 EDGE, see here

And no one has explained till now, what is APNAZ trick

On both; windows dial-up & nokia pc suite's net-dialer I get same 16-24 kB/ps... AirTel provides here EGPRS or commonly known as EDGE... also downloads are very fast in mobile's buile-in XHMTL+WAP browser...

I was initially planning to get a broadband to use on PC, but this AirTel EDGE is really working fine now for me, also page loading speed is very good... so good bye to broadband.

i m using my nokia 6681 in punjab but m geting only 4-6kbs
can this speed b increased
__________
plz if u got any trick to increase this speed just tell me ,
__________
i grt same speed with bluetooth and data cable

I do use Reliance Rconnet via Hellao (LSi-110) i get varied download speed. Average speed = 4 kB/s | Full speed = 15.7 kB/s

i get horrifying 480 kbps wid my n90

Thats the transfer speed between your phone and ur PC, not your net connect speed

i once edited the settings in dailup and it shows 921.6 kbps...

lolzz..i knw the speed was same..coz thats the max...Airtel can provide at this time..

A

Speed depends both on Connecting medium and handset.I have 2 phones 6600 n N 70.

My observations
6600

i) Bluetooth 4.4(avg)

ii)Cable NA

N 70

i) Bluetooth 9(avg)

ii)Cable 14-15

I have EDGE in my area

Re : Boosting Airtel GRPS speed

I belong to TN and use airtel gprs (using bluetooth and non EDGE phone) for Rs.375 unlimited usage (all premium content downloads are chargeable). I get 4.2 KB/s from 02:00 AM to 08:00 PM. I get only 2.85 KB/s in remaining time because all local mobile to mobile calls from 10 PM to 8 AM are Rs.0.39. I have read in an article that in mobile transmitter, they will give more priority for voice pulses than data pulses and the mobile tower splits voice and data packets seperately (in GPRS mode). That is why speed is slow. Follow this way to get faster speed :

01) Click and open 'My Network Places' icon.
02) In the window that has opened, left click 'View network connections' under network tasks menu.
03) Right click the dialup icon (that you created for GPRS dialup) and click on properties.
04) Click 'Configure' button under 'General' tab.
05) In 'Maximum speed (bps)' option, choose 9600 and click ok and click apply first and then ok to close all windows and try.

Although the speed setting is slow, yo will get 100% utilization of network (can be seen by pressing Control + alt + delete and then going to 'Networking' tab). Or else only 1% of network will be utilized !!!.

But one more thing. Upload speed is worst in Airtel GPRS. Download speed is blazing fast. Maximum speed of GPRS standard is only 40.2 Kbps. I don't know what it is exactly KB/s , KBPS, KBps , Kbps or so. If you use it on EDGE phone, you may get 115.2 Kbps or more depending upon the version of EDGE (such as EDGE class 1 multislot, class 2, etc) that the phone is based on.

NOTE : DON'T FALSELY CURSE 'BLUETOOTH' TECHNOLOGY OK?. SPEED OF BLUETOOTH IS ONLY MORE THAN ITS OLDER VERSIONS LIKE IrDA. Infrared, cable, etc. IF YOU USE DUPLICATE BLUETOOTH DEVICES, YOU WILL GET ONLY WORST SPEEDS. CAN'T YOU GUYS BUY ORIGINAL DEVICES WITH WARRANTY?. HEY HEY STOP. IT IS NOT TOO COOOOSSSTTTTTLY FOR MIDDLE CLASS PEOPLE. OK?.

Hello sir, may u plz explain me the relevance of ur aforesaid (quoted) seeing that m using a Dell laptop with built in bluetooth with a widcomm driver and the speeds i get with diffrent devices are in the post above you!
Lets also undestand ur understanding of BLUETOOTH TECHNOLOGY

BTW what r u gonna do with 100percent network utilization, clog the prospects of utilizing further bandwidth if been provided ?????????

i have a 6020 which has EDGE will i get this kind of speeds??

A

See if u have EDGE enabled tower in ur area or ur in a range of such BTS then definitely u r going to get a speed of abt 15KBps if u use a data cable as u can see in my case i use a EDGE enabled N 70 in Delhi n quite often get these speeds n even grtr in night time though i dont ever remember crossing 20s

Ashu & Gary.....
6020 has only class 6 EDGE same as my 3220, and it supports max 177.6 Kbps(not KBps) theoritically, you can get 9-12 KBps max in night, in day 7-9KBps....personal experience....

too slow as compared to my dataone@512kbps

but still do i great job when i am on move with my lappy

Customer care says speed is considerably more when one uses Data cable instead of Bluetooth! I still dont understand the logic behind this. Bluetooth data exchange rate with laptop is good enough..considering just a speed of 5KBps of internet.

A

In this region, we don't have EDGE enabled towers. So maximum speed I'm getting is only 5.5 KB/s.

A

@ Kiran n Sariq : Yes u r right abt CC bluffing, bt abt bltth n data cbl, its something to be experienced as u might see in my posts above
With the same N 70 i gt about 9KBps with bltth while with DC i get 14-15, so its clear that u really get grtr speed with DC

As with bltth u might have seen, the max operation speed of a nokia bltth is abt 23 with 16-18 as avg during data transfer to phone while with DC its quite high so the speed of internet also varies as bltth gives less efficiency coz its near to its saturation limit while the DC has a limit much higher so it transfers almost all that is available of bandwidth.
Its the most appropriate logic i concluded with. Whatsay ?

yup i agree abv theory.. The cc is defi rite in atlst this matter

all said...but i need to say....speeds are very inconsistent..!!

one min ur gettin 18kbps..and another min u see..its like 2-3kbps...

i guess it depends on overall load in the region..

guys pls test ur speed & post it here. also tell the time

nokia 6020 & CA-42 dc

@MOD
Plz make it a sticky.

hello guys but with my nokia 6270 i get a speed of 921.6kbps

^^
921.6kbps!!!
pls test it & www.speedtest.net & post correct speeds

GUYS IN NO WAY U COULD SPEED UP UR SPEED....

coz mobiles have limited speed only..

best u could get is by(in sony ericsson)...

use data cable.....
try to get a new sim card....as if calls comes...ur speed is believed to drop down....anyway the call is rare to come when u r connected to net...as the callers will get the message"subscriber is out of reach"
so buy a new no and dont tell the no to anyone....
gsm is limited to specific speed only...

U CANT GET A BROADBAND SPEED HERE....BUT U COULD GET A DECENT SPEED HIGHER THAN THE PRESENT.....(worst i would say)DIALUP(bsnl)

happy surfing...

I am getting sick and tired of ppl with no knowledge whatsoever making authoritative comments...

The Customer Care people are right, Bluetooth implementations upto version 1.2 were, for the most part, limited to 115.2 kbps, in practice upto 80 to 90 kbps... (with version 2.0 you can bet upto 3 mbps) USB data cables do not have this limtation... with EDGE class 10, you can get up to 190 kbps dl, with bluetooth upto v 1.2 ( v 2.0 is supported only by the newest of adapters and mobile phones) you would be wasting nearly half your download capability, the customer care people were perfectly right when they said that data cables would give you better speeds

M

i get 115.2 kbps connection speed on my k750 but the download speed is max 4 KBps :-(

D

how do u access gprs? via mobile office or airtel live? and where do u stay?
if u r in west and north part of india than use airtel live to download stuff from net u will get much better speed

K

I have an airtel connection. I get a download speed of 4-5 kbps on my N-Gage QD with mobile office. I'm planning to get a N6681 this month. Since it has EDGE, what kind of download speed will i get? Also how will i know that EDGE has been activated on my cell (any indication on screen, etc.). What kind of speed will i get after connecting it to a pc (using data cable) and using as a modem on EDGE.

A

@Krazy: Well i havent seen any indication of edge on my N 70 bt the whn the speed becomes commendable i assume that i'm in EDGE enabled area. U can get a speed upto 15KBps easily with EDGE enabled towers on an N 70 so i thnk u wl gt the same on ur 6681 too

With EDGE enabled mobile phones, one can get download speeds upto 15KBps.

well i get around 3-6kbps though its connected at 115.2kbps wit my k300i

n price is currently 99/mnth wil increase to 249/mnth from next mnth

CHeers~!

is this price hike for delhi also?

Hello guys..,
why there is difference b/w pricing of GPRS in various regions.. In hyderabad it's 499/- PM for unlimited download.. tooooo high

..what is the amount charged by airtel in other regions..

i use 3230 with Datacable.. i will usually get 10KBps with Flashget.. can any one please tell me any tricks to improove this...

Thanks a lot..

E

I am also using Airtel Mobile Office for 449/- in Rajasthan, Speed is Max 7 KBps

, I will soon be shifting to CDMA based internet which is much faster then GSM.

Will some one care to explain what the Apnaz trick is, in detail?

Edit: Here it is

3 to 7Kbps in day time and 15~25 kbps in night it is totally depend on network load and type of mobile u r using am using sek750i perfectly ok i would say.

D

i am using airtel mobile office on my prepaid connection @0paisa /month from last 4 month.
and from last 4 month balance is my prepaid card is droping down further every day -11, -20 -30.
btw i didn't recharged my mob from last 3 month

Hey buddy...... my default speed is also 921.6kbps without editing anything. Can u tell me how 2 check my real speed???

A

Either log on to speedtest.net or get a SW to monitor ur bandwidth like DU meter

yea get du meter

A

DU meter will help u in getting a continuous asessment of ur bandwidth during all ur downloads etc and u can use its stopwatch to see ur avg and total n highest data transfer rate all the time for a vry good assesment whch is not psbl with these websites

it says ips driver error in that page :-(

. in Kerala its 250 per month connection .

i'm using airtel gprs on my w700i, in calcutta, infact i'm writing this post thru tat, i get 3-4kBps, any suggestion how i can increase tat speed? i'm using data cable....

A

I dont think any method to increase the speed as such exists. What i used to do was that i moved into open space and i felt the speed increased a couple of kbs, maybe due to good network strength.

BTW u wont get more than 5KBps(30-45kbps) in non EDGE areas or with a non-EDGE handset(though u might have one). Chck weather u have EDGE in ur area or not

always keep ur fone in full network areas.... other than that there arent ny tricks...

it uses a method called tunneling...

@ashu dps
my friends r using edge here
but my handset doesn't support edge...
though there may b network issue, inside my room there's always a bit of fluctuation in signals

hey, i use BSNL GPRS with my K750i, the speed is like dialup, but does the job, anyway top boost the speed here?

Now I am getting very good speed...around 6KBps using Airtel GPRS.

30-40 Kbps is the limit(Almost) of Non-EDGE network or phones so u cant expect more friend. Yesterday i bought an IDEA sim here in New Delhi. It hasnt got EDGE towers here n the speed i got was same, almost 4.4-6KBps(35-45kbps) just what i got with Airtel using Non-EDGE handset, Nokia 6600

A

Dats only ur connection speed not the speed whch u r supposed to get. BTW even that speed is in Kbps not KBps so u r gtng 3-4KBps whch is arnd 24-32kbps whch is the normal sped of non-EDGE networks so its perfectly normal. U wont be able to extract more juice frm ur connection

It connects at 115.2 kbps by bltth connection n 460kbps through data cable. Thats the max supported bandwidth through the medium u r using.

As for increasing ur speeds, u mi8 get into open area for stronger network whch may lead to increment upto almost 5KBps or maybe upto 6KBps sometimes(40-48Kbps). Thats the max u wl get in non-EDGE network

Anybody using a EDGE enabled mobile to access Airtel GPRS? Whatz the speed you are getting? I know that it is mentioned 15KBps everywhere. But I wanted to hear it's actual value from it's users only.

K

^^ It can go upto max 20 kBps during early morning and late night. During day it hovers between 10-15kBps.

I think without edge handset .. theses no use of MobileOffice,
edge enable handset is available as low as 4k now.

I get 12-14KBps

Exactly, that's the same reason I asked the question. Currently I am using K750i which doesn't support EDGE. I am planning to buy W810i and utilize it's EDGE capability and bluetooth for connecting to my lappy.

Few days back I was thinking to get a Reliance Netconnect or Tata Indicom Data card. But they are really expensive in long run for me. Rather a EDGE enabled GPRS will give me the same speed and very dearer to pocket too!

Yes thats better .. even a seprate handset for just this purpose is ok to buy. data card is a useless n wastage of money.
since getting 3g is noway near .. EDGE handset is ok to buy, I would suggest nokia bcoz its more compatible to using gprs n all as per my experience.. just a suggestion.

Hmm... 3G. It's good to have it too. Thanks for reminding.

In such case, Nokia 5700 should work for me.

Kiran it depends upon ur local network congestion and number of users....

In my city am getting 15 kBps without edge, Using nokia 3230 via data cable, but with bluetooth too i get the same ....
ya 3230 support EDGE but Bihar/Jharkhand airtel dont provide EDGE ....

Are you sure it is without EDGE? Nokia 3230 is EDGE enabled. You are probably getting EDGE connection.

And yes. It won't make any difference whether you are using Bluetooth or Data cable. Both will give same speed. Although CC will say use Data cable for good speed.

ya am sure mate....
even 6600 gives me 10 kBps... I ve posted some registry tweaks with screnshot dere u can see my d.w speed

You should know that gprs speed is based on various factors .. no of users, etc. it includes that ..if u have edge then ok but your service provider should have a edge too in ur area. its like you have a 3g phone but AirTel do not have a 3G network.

3220 has edge and 6600 dont, which is a outdated set now.

I know that guys. Pune is EDGE enabled. Hence I am going for it. At present I am using K750i which is not EDGE compatible. Now I am planning to purchase Nokia 5700 so that I can utilize EDGE connectivity.
