I use Screamer Radio to listen to various radio stations, so I don't see why
not.

Thanks for that info.Just tried Screamer radio. Just what I've been
looking for, though I'd like to get it working with Linux. Have tried
'StationRipper' before. Listening right now to 'Clubbers Radio' from
Australia - fab!
:-)

Often, and it's almost fast enough for BBCi TV player

last night I was listening to Kenny Everett electric radio show
on BBC7 catch up, from Sundays playing using Realplayer.

Set up here, Fujitsu Siemens laptop, Win XP.
Nokia 6630 on DKU2 USB lead, Latest Nokia Data Suite
with one button dial up, 3 PAYG sim with
£5 pm internet.

I get around 380kb/s d/l and 75kb/s u/l

Of course, I'm sending this using at the moment  news.motzerella.org
free news server for Usenet.
Web browsing, pop3/smtp email (using googlemail), internet radio
(e.g. BBC7 using realplayer), BBCi TV (with brake up connection not fast
enough)
etc, etc.

If I was bothered with video steaming like BBCi TV, I'd go for the 10quid
deal
(or actually the 15quid 3GB d/l deal, as 1GB of d/l for video streaming
would soon go)

Doesn't that violate the rules?

That's impressive; vanilla UMTS upstream is only 64k/sec.

3 also limit HSDPA upstream to 64k/sec.

No they don't.  I'm sitting beside my laptop here with a 3 usb modem
showing 1118kbps d/l and 384kbps u/l as measured on bbmax speedtest!

The people I know with them seem, for some reason, to be restricted to
64k/sec upstream. The l.e.d. on the hardware indicates h.s.d.p.a..

I wonder why this is.
