How fast is GPRS compared to other Technologies?
The class of the device determines the speed at which GPRS can be used. For example, the majority of GPRS terminals will be able to download data at speeds of up to 24Kbps (kilobytes per second). At the higher end, speeds are theoretically possible up to 171.2 kbit/sec when 8 slots are assigned at the same time to a single user. In reality 40-50Kbps. PC cards capable of GPRS will send data up to speeds of 48Kbps.
