In normal life I use my KPN mobile internet connection infrequently. But when I have used it, I had the feeling that the practical available bandwidth was rubbish.
The last days I've been using it intensively. In theory my subscription & hardware will support 7 mbps. However, the maximum that I've seen is about 1 - 1.2 mbps and that only in bursts. The problem I suppose is signal strength, I've yet to find any location where I get more than about 2 bars of signal.
My conclusion is that in all practical circumstances 3G internet is useless for anything except email and the odd small file transfer. Bring on WiMax, I say.
