With Fujitsu Siemens laptop the bandwidth was about 80 kB/s (Live-CD 8.04.3*) 60–80 kB/s (up to date Karmic installation with WVDIAL programme) 80–90 kB/s maybe, but the speed was interestingly widely fluctuating between 54–110 kB/sec (seen in Firefox Download window) and 34–129 KiB/s (seen in System Monitor). During my second download test the fluctuation was not so strong any more, resulting in about 70 kB/s on the average.
The most modern computer I have tested, the Compal JFL92 (T8100 Core 2 Duo; Intel Mobile PM965 Express Chipset) gave us some very slow speeds of about 20 kB/s (Live-CD Hardy) 50 kB/s, but for the first half a minute or less 20–80 kB/s (Lucid Lynx 10.04 alpha3 Live-CD) * In the Hardy Live CD you have to manually install (eg. from USB memory stick) a newer NetworkManager and dependencies and then command “sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart” and depending on your hardware, take care that jockey-gtk , b43 and b43-fwcutter do not disturb you (stop them or rmmod). Then “sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager start” and launch (alt+F2) nm-applet. Finally, plug in the modem and do the Nokia installation from the USB stick itself. ** Attachment added: "lshw-Fujitsu-Siemens-slow.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/40367880/lshw-Fujitsu-Siemens-slow.txt ** Changed in: ppp (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- 3G download speed is very slow compared to Hardy or Microsoft Windows OSs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/525049 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
