Mobile Speed Test with Maxis 3G connection

I use a N95 8GB, it’s not a good Intenet device but it’s capable to do a lot of thing with it. Recently, I just subscribed to the Monthly 500MB Mobile Internet Data plan from Maxis for RM58 a month to do my email, Twitter and some light surfing on the go.

In case you don’t know, I tweet and send a lot of photos to my mobile blogging site, Away From Computer. You can check it out too.

Because that my line is under the SME business plan, it troubled me a bit for to subscription and activation, I have to write in and call them for the activation, it’s pretty troublesome, but afterall, it’s activated and I am on.

I ran some speed test today via mobilespeedtest.com.

The first result I got was pretty shocking and suprised. The speed was rocket high to 8.5mbps. That was freaking cool but I realized that I was running the test through Opera Mini and Opera Mini has some sort of proxy to minimize site loading.

I re-run the test with the normal Symbian browser and the speed was not so satisfying for a 3G connection. It’s supposed to be 3.5G, running on HSPDA, with speed up to 3.6mbps but I didn’t see it goes near to it.

How’s your mobile internet speed? By the way, ignore the ugly keypad of mine, I am a heavy text user.
