3G Uplink has speed limit of 60kB/s
Quote from Visa on WFRID72:
The 3G Uplink is now limited to about maximum of 60KB/s download speeds. This is quite a low speed in current GSM technology speed standards.
By implementing better support to 3G, Wippies Homebox could be an attractive solution (even with current price) compared to other “3G-routers” currently on the market.
Just to let you so don’t wonder if the 3G speed with Homebox isn’t as good as when connected directly to computer.
Solution: Buy an USB hub and connect your 3G dongle thru the hub since this appears to be a power issue. Friend of mine bought an USB hub with external power adapter. Download speed with 5M mobile broadband connection and Huawei E180 thru the USB hub was 300kB/s when without the hub the download speed was approx. 60kB/s.
