you can see the raw bitrates for different EDGE coding modes (PDCH
coding scheme will vary depending on RF layer performance):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enhanced_Data_Rates_for_GSM_Evolution
so it's 8.8 kbit/second / slot to 59 kbit/second /slot

For pure GPRS it's 8 kbit/second / slot to 20 kbit/second / slot

If you need higher bitrates, implementing header and payload compression
at the SNDCP level in the SGSN is possible.

Also, always keep in mind that while you can offer 7 TS with GPRS/EDGE,
almost no phone has support for a multislot class that allows for 7 TS
in DL.  So multiple phones can fill the 7 TS, but it's unlikely one
phone can use all of them.

Regards,
