[QUOTE="NotMyRealName, post: 1671737"] But that was exactly my point, when you switch to 3g it connects only to those towers which have 3g, and they may be far away, hence poor signal. and you may well have dozens of 2g towers right next to your location, with full signal. no use. if you have android, opensignalmaps can show you tower locations. that's how i figured out my 3g tower was 2+km away. hope this clears the confusion. My friends house is in sector 4, opposite that weird ICSE school and next to that crappy college which suddenly became big time. sorry, i'm bad with names lol. i started my vodafone 3g experience a few weeks ago with the 102 300mb plan. finished it in a couple weeks and am now on the 1gb plan. but i got the 6mbps on the 102. i've been using the vodafone edge on roaming earlier and was very happy with that too. btw, this is an alternate sim, not my main number, thats a corporate loop one. also, to answer your question generally, i read somewhere that most providers give lower speed, like 3mbps on the cheaper plans and higehr speed on premium plans. maybe i got a good speed on the 102 because it was my first vodafone 3g recharge. i'll test again the next time i go there. btw, when i run speedtest, i select a server very far away so as not to get artifical results, since the mumbai server is vodafone itself and right next door. ~80ms ping [/QUOTE]
