Virgin Mobile Broadband Speeds?
Hi,
I have the Virgin mobile broadband 5gb internet with the little usb modem. Now, in the virgin store, as we were buying the modem I asked him what speed was he getting, and he said im getting about 3mb/s and thats through all this concrete (we were in a multi storey shopping centre). Since Ive goten this internet deal, the absolute maximum speed ive ever goten was about 500KB, thats it. I know tons of people have these problems. But I live in a central of a town with full bar connection and HSDPA. (I think its HSDPA like that). Is there anyway I can improve this, I want to get back into xbox live, so I need a speed of at least 1mb per sec for no lag national connection.
Thanks,
Aidan.
5mb is theoretically possible over HSDPA, but i’ve never known anyone to get anywhere near this, most of the time it drops to 3g and then i get around 400k, i’ve spoken to the provider, but they just tell me its the area i’m using it in, i think much like phone type bb connections they advertise the absolute maximum speed and then you much less, its a pain, but there is nothing to stop them advertising as “upto 5mb speed”
