Comment GPRS? (Score 1) 461
I'm assuming the package you'd like to use is either a GPRS package, or EDGE. If it's EDGE, you're going to have a GREAT time browsing around at high speed!
If it's simple GPRS, however, then I'm afraid those DSL speeds you're dreaming of are not going to materialize.
I used to have GPRS on my cellphone here in Beirut, Lebanon. I could browse WEBsites (not just WAP) on my phone, even download files (Applications, Videos, etc..) at around 5KB/sec (equiv. to a 56k modem)
The problem is, the package is quite pricey ($30 for 40MB of bandwidth, and a dollar for every MB after that)
All in all, not really worth it. I've connected it to my laptop and there really is barely any difference in speed between it and my 56k modem, and considering I pay by the megabyte, suffice to say I've canceled the service a long time ago.
If you're getting EDGE, however, then let's just say you're going to be really pleased!
