hi everyone.. I have a nokia 6682 cell, which is both EDGE enabled and Gprs enabled..
one week back , i took vodafone gprs in Chennai..i hoped that with my EDGE enabled phone i will be getting the dreamy speeds of atleast 15 KBPs during night time..i always read about such speeds form my friends in this forum..
but sadly enough the maximum speed I am getting with this VODAFONE GPRS is a mere 8 KBPS even at this time of 3 am.in my laptop.!!!!:o ..I am shocked !!!
unfortunately, as my cell is a US compatabile phone, only Hutch or Vodaphone works in my mobile..it is not taking the Signal of other networks, when i manually search for other networks,so i have to settle for the Vodaphone network in Chennai for GPRS..the rates are also exorbitant for vodaphone..199 for prepaid & 499 & 699 for postpaid..whereas for airetel gprs in chennI CITY ITS SOME 350 RUPEES UNlimited Monthly..
okay,So is tere any mETHOD by which i can increase the speed of my internet gprs..??!
do help me out guys....

I am from Mumbai circle and here the GPRS is free. Only we have to pay for usage charges, which is very exorbitant. About speed, I have no idea, because I don't use net on the mobile much.
