The wireless link between handset and the Base Station is 144 Kbits/Sec. BTS onwards is 100 Mbps fiber optic link. There is no surprise here if the wireless link is not being shared. This depends on the capacity of the tower and number of users. I am enclosing a wget output for a large file download below for your reference. The total time it took was 212 sec and file size is 1.7 MB giving you a rate of roughly 8 KBytes/s.
I would also like to add that while connected to Internet but not actively using the link, the phone goes in Dormant mode where you can use it for voice calls (sending or receiving). I hope this would remove any doubts, - Prabhat Ranjan *************************************************************** --06:53:20-- http://www.relianceinfo.com/Infocomm/pdf/rconnect-gui-src-0.5.tgz => `rconnect-gui-src-0.5.tgz' Resolving www.relianceinfo.com... done.
