maximum speed with Blue Tooth

Dear forum members,

I wonder why the speed on the internet with a laptop and SE T68i by Blue Tooth can not exceed 9600kb? Why is that? The phone has an inbuilt modem and the software XTNDConnect PC from SE mentions a baudrate up to 28.8kb!

Who has the answer?

Many thanx,

Mitra

The reason why you are not getting a higher than 9.6kbps is because you are using a voice network from your carrier. I just fixed this by adding a GPRS data account to my account with T-mobile (GSM max for data is 9.6kbps) thus increasing the spead to 115kbps.

Good luck

forgot to mention that when accessing the GPRS account you need to create a separate dial-up specific to the GPRS dial up to activate the phone to use the GPRS network.

Read more about this here: http://www.sonyericsson.com/us/spg.jsp?page=start and go to the Global support part to read about Getting Started guides for the "using T68i as modem"

Let me know if this works

That speed of 115 kbps is in fact the baud rate or speed in which your devices are talking to each other at.

GPRS connection speed fluctuate due to traffic on the network.
For a normal dial up connection you are limited to 9.6 because like you said you are using the GSM network and the service providers limit the connection speed to this.

It is possible to make a High speed connection (HSCSD) but only with Orange in the UK. This will connect at 14.4 or 28.8.

hope this helps.

The actual connection speed even with the 115kbps rate fluctuated between 25kbps and 30kbps (http://www.bandwidthplace.com/speedtest) using the GPRS connection with T-mobile here in the US
