8700g EDGE tether connection speed
 

Have any of you 8700g owners used your 8700g via a tether to a laptop on T-Mobile? What speeds are you seeing? I'd be interested in seeing how fast EDGE speeds are in your location (assuming that you can get an EDGE connection).

TIA for any reports.

I can't even get it working...is anyone able to help with getting it to work with 8700g?

There are plenty of threads on this board, Please utilize the search feature it does help.

Good luck :)

I can sustain about 15 kb/sec transfer on my 8700g, which is decent.

The theoretical maximum is 236.8 kbps, or 29.5 kb/sec. I'm not gonna be doing any heavy downloading persay, so I'm pretty happy with it.

how did you get it to work?

i have tried with CCM, without ccm and using a DUN, i have tried all of it with Desktop manager open, i have configured the modem ports...etc etc....just never seems to work

What doesn't work?

Try Shark Modem.

I love it and it has saved my butt a few times when I couldnt get access any other way. In southern California, I typically get 90-100 Kbps up and down. So thats about 4x faster than dialup but only 1/2 of the theoritical limit.

i love the new guy on a forum who is so fast to dish out the "use the search"
it gets old

The simple fact is, many times, there isn't a need to open up a new thread, all it takes is a simple search.

agreed. i am new but i find most of my information in searches.
