Comparison of GPRS speed test of Vodafone, Docomo, Airtel

With the telecos preparing for the 3rd Generation services, the race to capture the current GPRS market is heating up. Having paid a huge amount for the 3G license, its evident that the 3G service is not going to be exactly cheap.

So the next best option is the GPRS service and that’s what every telco is getting into.With new packs and low rental plans being introduced in every other circle.

One of our users has been kind enough to test out the competition between TATA Docomo and Vodafone, not on the pricing but on speeds and given his verdict.

Speedtest was done with Nokia 5230 handset using Mobilespeedtest.com Conducted at Yelahanka, Bangalore City.

All stats which are shared depends on site mobilespeedtest.com (They send 100kb from mobile to their server and measure how much time it consumes in that process).We Decided to conduct Tests at 3 different Timings morning, evening and midnight.

Morning Stats are as shown in Screenshot.


The Speed was 75 Kbps when used with Vodafone Connection at 7:30am Sunday then we did the Same Speed Test with Docomo at 7:35am which gave a whooping speed of 91.2 kbps!! the difference is almost 16 kbps between Vodafone and Docomo at Morning!

We Continued the Same Speed Test at Evening- Vodafone Speed was 69.8kbps while Docomo gave a speed of 75 kbps both operators have similar speed!! The difference is 5 kbps.. docomo’s speed was bit fluctuating.

We had Conducted MidNight Test at 12:00 Saturday the Speed Surprised us! Vodafone’s Speed was Just 23kbps less than a dial up! while docomo crossed 40 kbps we can find a sudden drop in both operators GPRS speed may be there is more traffic at night (may be so many uses wap sites at night.. specially its Saturday midnight, weekend )

Speedtest was done with Nokia 5230 handset using Mobilespeedtest.com Conducted at Yelahanka, Bangalore City.

Well the verdict is out – Tata Docomo has taken the crown between the two telcos. We appreciate the results shared by our Telecom Talkers and look forward to more inputs and experiences in the telecom world.

However, these tests were conducted by individuals using resources of their choice and therefore beyond our control. We are merely sharing the same and cannot be held liable for any biases, disputes or claims arising out of this tests.

Exciting honeymoon destination in Branson, Missouri

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Hiltons of Branson. All opinions are 100% mine.

I am planning to go honeymoon with my girlfriend and while shopping for a relaxing destination away from the crowded places, I finally narrowed down to Branson, Missouri for staying at Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing. The soothing colors of their hotel as seen on the website along with a residential feel is the trademark of the Hilton Serenity collection. I also liked their pillowed topped mattress, down comforter and 250 thread count triple sheets photos when reviewing the website. As I am going to have fun with my girlfriend in the king size bed, I definitely need their 32 inch flat panel television. In case I get some urgent calls for signing important business deals then I have access to their two (2) line phones with data ports and voice mail and high speed Internet access. If I plan to order a pizza to enjoy it while we make love together, then there is a large well-lit work desk with granite counter tops, and miniature refrigerator and much more. Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel provides all the amenities for having a sound and secure honeymoon in the midwest region.

There are numerous arractions close to the new Branson Landing retail and entertainment district situated on Lake Taneycomo, and is just minutes from the area's 49 theatres, outlet malls, golf courses, Table Rock Lake, Silver Dollar City, Titanic Museum. The other best part that anyone would not miss is Branson Landing’s Summer Concerts which are located right at the Branson Landing Fountain, a one-of-a-kind feature that will entertain my love throughout the day with dazzling dancing water shows. In the evening, fire, light and sound will come together to enhance the experience. The website has the entire summer concert schedule so you can also plan your honeymoon accordingly and enjoy the concerts. I dont see a better way to honeymoon than the Bransons!

How to download torrents from your iPhone or iPod or iPad

Whether you spend a good part of your computing time downloading torrents or just like to enjoy the occasional file you can’t get anywhere else, you’re gonna love to know that you can now engage in it right on your jailbroken iPod Touch.

What You Need

Apart from having your unit jailbroken, you’ll need to get the Cydia Installer on your iPod Touch. Cydia is basically an alternative to the Installer.app on your handset. We’ll probably do a more thorough feature on both installing and using Cydia if enough people need a primer on it.

Once you have Cydia in place, you’ll need to use it to download dTunes (which brings the Safari download plug-ins along with it) and Mobile Terminal.

Steps

1. Download files from Piratebay

Use Safari to surf Piratebay.org and download (yes, you can download now if the plug-ins installed correctly) the torrent files you want.

2. Run dTunes

Once downloading via Safari is done, open dTunes and click on the torrent file to get it running.

3. Start Downloading

Open Mobile Terminal and type command “./gettorrent”, minus the quotes to start the download. Speed is normally pretty good, depending of course, on your internet connection and the number of seeds.

4. Retrieve The Downloads

Once finished, the downloaded files will be in the root/var/mobile/Library/Downloads directory of your iPod Touch. You can do with them as you want.
