Is GPRS faster than mobile phone dialup?
GPRS runs faster than standard mobile phone dialup (which is normally 9.6kbps). GPRS speed depends on a number of factors (all to do with how many of the 8 ‘timeslots’ are assigned by the network operator) – the maximum possible speed is 171kbps, but you’re unlikely to ever get anywhere near this speed. Our tests show average speeds of around 25 to 40 kbps (still around 3 times faster than dialup).
