Orange France admits to capping iPhone 3G speeds





iPhone 3G speeds are being capped by Orange France it seems. What’s funny is we probably wouldn’t have known about the speed cap if a series of recent surveys hadn’t been performed. The surveys show major differences in speed when it came to different parts of the world and that had some raising their eyebrows.

Currently, iPhone 3G speeds in France are being capped at 384 kbps. However, on September 15, the speed cap will be raised to 1 Mbps. This is an obvious improvement and should help people in France with iPhones experiencing better reception and faster data transfer.

Interestingly enough, the 1 Mbps cap is still under HSDPA’s maximum limit and quite less than what T-Mobile users in Europe experience, which clocks in at around 1.8 Mbps.

    Hi there! I know this is kinda off topic but I’d figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest writing a blog article or vice-versa? My website goes over a lot of the same subjects as yours and I feel we could greatly benefit from each other. If you happen to be interested feel free to send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you! Excellent blog by the way!

  3. The time difference calculator is a online calculator which is used to compute the number of days, hours, and minutes among two times and occasions. In this calculator, in case two dates and also times (for example Jan. 10, 2000 11:49 PM and 12/25/07 7:33 AM) are consumed as input, then time it will display the time difference. It will also exhibit this deviation both as days, several hours, and minutes and entirely as hrs and minutes.
