Airtel GPRS - Download ok, upload not working :( Please Help

[din]

.
I am testin Airtel GPRS , everything seems ok , speed is not bad ( 40kbps and above ) , messenger , email client everything works nice . But I am facin a problem

I can't upload files ( like filesize > 3kb ) , I mean no FTP , no email sending with attchments usin email client (plain text works , with very small attachment also works ) , no email with attachment usin web interface , even speed test sites shows only download speeds ( upload tests r not working properly ) etc . No problems on download .

I asked the Airtel people , but not much use

Anyone faced similar problems ?

Thanks in advance

Phone usin - Nokia 3230

OS in PC - Win 2K

It is k , I mean kbps , comes to 5 to 7 KBps

I tried checking modem config and all but didn't see any restrictions on file size for upload . Any idea where I need to change settings for this ?

Thats pretty impressive
Well, try ur settigs in network props and check for ny upload options...

yes,for a month am in chandigarh (for my vacations) and i log onto the net using airtel mobile office gprs connection. it connects at 115kbps (which is the modem to computer connection irrespective of whether i use usb cable or bluetooth as both are virually serial port mapped connections) and i get a download speed of about 6 KBps...i've never faced uploading problems.

i regularly attach files but never faced this problem. haf u configured ur firewall properly? used a different browser? used ur connection on a different computer wid a diff OS? try it and get back.

Well...Recently dunno what happened...but betn 1 am - 7 am....i get Download Speeds thru Flashget at around some 27-28 Kbps...

Well but when download is on...Browsing goes complete down.!! i have to pause download and then browse..!! Normally i get around 12-15 Kbps download in day time..!!

Everything Thru Flashget..!!

Browsing is kinda slow... may be my downloads are always on..so i must be feeling that..!!

Are there any softs..for tweaking connection..

hi, i have the same problem, i can't upload any file into web sites using mobile office. i asked the customer care they told that we can download as much as we can but we can't upload any file.

hi bro am too using the same services in MP ...
and am getting a decent 10 kb/s in dap ....
but hello no uploading is working

[assasin]

Dude havnt faced uploading prob in Mobile Office eversince i started using it.As far as dwnload speed is concerned i get around 18 - 25 KB/s thru dap.

[cool_anish]

as far as i know the download speed vary from place to place

[Dipen01]

Place to Place and Time to Time..

It must hv to do something wid congestion...thats why it varies...like these days thru IDM..i get 28-30kbps from 2-7AM...

then it starts gettin down...to say 22 then say 18 ...and normally its 15-17
