Do you get 3g internet speed/service on an 8330?

I bought an 8330 on ebay that was hardly used...I like the phone a lot but the internet browser seemed slow and not very advanced and I noticed it doesn't display 3g on the screen.  I was eligible to upgrade and got the Bold 9650 and it displays 3g but I really don't notice the internet being any faster on it...so does the 8330 get 3g even though it doesn't display?
The 9650 is ok but not impressive.  I do like the theaded text feature in the 5.0 OS and the trackpad is easier to use, but the phone is heavier and the USB port is in an odd place on the lower right side.  It is much more convienent on the upper left side on the 8330 for use when charging at the same time.  I know the 9650 has a faster processor and 512mb and a 2gb sd card, but still i'm thinking my 8330 was just as good for what I need...

The 8330 is 3G capable. On devices previous to the 9650, 8530 and 9550 the symbol for 3G is different. It's displayed as EV. So when you see 1XEV that means you're getting full 2G and 3G service.
The speed of web browsing between the two devices is expected to be similar. However, on the Bold 9650 you now have WiFi - so if you connect via WiFi you should notice a little jump in your speeds.

  • I have just bought a ibook g4  how do you get the internet

    how d you get the internet working from the airport , i have an airport extreme and the spec says airport how do i connect to the internet

    You can connect to the Internet via the Ethernet port or wirelessly. To connect either way you need to have internet service from an Internet Service Provider, or via Wi-Fi. To connect wirelessly at home you need a wireless router like an Airport Extreme base station.
    Please do post back with further questions or comments if any.

  • Not getting advertised internet speed

    It's been about 2 weeks since this problem started happening and I can't fix it no matter what I do. I'm currently on the Blast Plus package which should give me 105 Mbps down and 10 Mbps up, but I'm getting no where near that anymore. I used to hit 110 Mbps down normally and I'd check it weekly since I use my internet a lot. I'm very OCD about it. Just recently I started noticing netflix start to freeze up and lag when this never happened before. I did a speedtest and my internet maxed out at 22 Mbps. Now why would this be? Nothing has changed in my account or computer. There's only one phone and one laptop on this WiFi servicw, and my main PC connected by ethernet which is what I did the test on. I go on facebook or youtube and they take forever to open and once open the pictures won't load. Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?

    We have not ever gotten what we paid for.  we are suppose to get 105 download speed.  We are lucky if we get over 10 download (tested on different days and all different times of day) The problem started as soon as we upgraded to the faster speed about 2 years ago.  call comcast on numerous occassions and have to WAIT FOREVER. THey make you go through all the stuff on your end.  Then they schedule time. Someone comes out gets it to work for a while like a day or two. Then  you call again and its like they want to start all over with test at home then send someone.   Then eventually you get so fed up spending so much time that you give up and then a few months later try it again.   It wasn't until a few months ago that some tech realized we NEVER were supplied the right equipment to handle the upgraded speed.  Although comcast had no problem charging us for it all this time.  Well we still have problems.  Today my tests have gotten above 10 ONCE.  We turn off devises etc.  Son even uses ethernet connection 100%  and he has problem.  So sick of this.  The thought of going through the process of being put on hold being told to go through their trouble shoot thing to either have them say we are going to try things from here and so you wait and wait with limited and shortlived success-the process is exhuasting.   Looking into other providers.

  • Verizon is Capping Internet Speed/Service for "Unlimited" Customers

    Some recent news has been brought to my attention by Verizon Wireless' customer service department, and I think that given the severity of Verizon Wireless’ continued breach of contract to Internet customers, this matter should be brought to everyone else's attention as well.
    I originally purchased a Verizon Wireless USB Internet Card in 2007. I was offered a plan that entitled me to an “Unlimited Internet Usage Allowance”. I kept the same wireless Internet device for two years and never acquired any issues or concerns. On January 20th, 2010, I went into a Verizon store and was offered a free upgrade to the new MiFi Mobile HotSpot. I was told that I could test the product for 30 days to make sure that it worked to my standards and my Internet needs. It worked perfectly. I used it for multiple computers in my home, as well as work and travel. 
    My problem with the Verizon MiFi began on October 21st, 2010 when my Internet suddenly became extremely slow and unable to access any web pages without minutes of waiting. I continued to call customer service and go into the Verizon stores throughout the month in hopes that someone could find a ‘glitch’ and solve my issue of what soon became No Internet access. I did all this with patience and good faith, as I have continued to pay $60 a month for “High speed 3G” service. Two weeks ago, I took the MiFi device into the store and requested a new device since it became entirely defective. My new device arrived in the mail and I have still spent the last week going through the ring-around circus of Tech support and the only logic they can come up with is, "Either the device is defective or my computer is too old."  This is not the case, as I recently purchased a new laptop.
    What I discovered was that Verizon neglected to inform me for the past two months that I had gone over my "undisclosed usage threshold" (Even though I pay for Unlimited Allowance) and now my internet speed has been capped and I am unable to access the Internet. I spent 4 hours on the phone yesterday and weaved my way into a small department called "AIT" which is supposedly a new sub-contracted company that is suppose to help negotiate my "situation". They of course are closed, and my numerous voice mails will most likely never be returned.
    At this point, I am still paying for something that does not work, and Verizon has taken it upon themselves to decide "how often" I can use the internet. This was not disclosed to me in my contract that I signed in Jan 2010, when I continued my Wireless plan for "unlimited usage allowance."
    I want everyone to be aware of this, before they head out this holiday season and spend hundreds of dollars on a Verizon Wireless Internet Device, and eventually will have to deal with the same nonsense I'm currently going through right now!

    I started with one of the few unlimited plans back in 2008- They kept telling me to "hang on to it- cause it won't be around for long!" So I did and when I upgraded my device- everything worked great for 7 months. I started using it more frequently as a hot spot for more than one computer, we're talking email, web browsing and paying bills- Not Xbox360 for 24 hours a day or fownloading 10 videos a day!? I don't even know how to do that!?!
     And the first month we went over- we got capped! Now it runs at about a quarter of the speed. Which was never disclosed to me. And to think- they market this MiFi 2200 as a hotspot for up to 5 computers??? I can only imagine how quickly people are being capped.

  • Did you get an Internet connection?

    Hi: I read ur posting, and I have the same exact set-up, ie, same Belkin router, iBook, and PC (Dell), and have a iMac. I cant get the Expander to work with my iBook--like you the airport card picks up the network but I cant get an internet connection. I read thru the thread about firmware update--did you do it and does the Belkin wireless preN router support WDS? Were u able to get it all working? I would like to get mine to work thanks!

    OK, that's interesting. I just tried the download site and got this:
    I tried in Firefox and Chrome.
    I have never had a problem downloading iTunes before, I think it may be a temporary glitch.
    You shoudl probably wait a bit and try again. Meanwhile I will try to find out if there is a known problem.
    However it still might be security software messing up access to the download.
    Added:
    After checking, it appears that others are having the same problem. It has been reported to hosts, so hopefully it will be fixed soon.

  • Do you get free internet connection everywhere when not on a plan for iphone 4s does it come with siri

    do you get internet connection everywhere without a plan on iphone 4s and do you get siri

    Yeah but if his iP is already saying it's paired the issue is prob something else.
    I am guessing it's just not being powered/connected right--I've had a goofy time turning mine on relative to
    other BT headsets...
    With it in your ear try holding down the power button till you hear ascending chimes (descending=off).
    After it's on you sometimes need to tap it once briefly (hear a beep) and then you'll see the little BT symbol on the iP if it's connected.
    Try that.

  • I am getting uneven internet speeds

    I have a problem...
    I cannot stream movies without them "pausing" and "Loading" due to wireless connection that comes up and down...
    My intetnet connection is great...
    The people came and said i might be missing CODES for my router, but they can't touch it because it isn't thier hardware...
    I will do a speedtest and get 10-20MPS one minute.. and the next get 1-2 or less...
    Very very inconsistant and it changes in a matter of seconds...
    What am I doint wrong>
    HELP!

    connect a computer directly to your modem and turn off your apple box for now. are you still seeing widely varying speeds? if so, the issue is with your ISP not the apple router.

  • How do you get apps into location services?

    Location services only shows camera, siri, and weather. My wife's phone shows over 20 apps in location services, which I also have the same apps loaded on my phone, and they do not appear in my Location Services in Settings but they do in hers. This prevents Notifications on these apps.

    What version of the operating system, iOS, have you got on the iPod and iPad (Settings > General > About > Version), and what minimum version do the apps require ? If, for example, the app needs iOS 5 but you only have version 4.3 on the iPod, then it won't download onto the iPod. Also some apps only work on the iPad (e.g. they need the iPad's larger screen) so they also won't download on an iPod. An app's requirements are listed on the left-hand side of their description page in the store.
    I also assume that the device which the apps aren't downloading on is also connected to a network ?

  • Get Better Internet Speed

    I'm 14,000ft. from the sub-station with old small gauge wire so I can only get three mbps down and .7 mbps up slow speeds.
    Friends in Los Alamitos got FIOS five years ago.  In Naples, Long Beach four years ago.  We are directly inland ten miles from them and saw the fiber optics wire draped on the pnone lines three years ago.  Now we find out that they leapfrogged us to give St. John Bosco school (three blocks more inland from us) FIOS.
    What are we??? POO FOLKS?????
    I think they are not looking out for anything more than their pocketbooks!!!!
    So I say BOOOOOO on them and lets get some fast cable!

    To my knowledge, they've been doing the same in my area. I wanted to order 7 years ago, and three years ago the Fiber appeared. Hasn't been put to use one bit. All of the schools around here use private connections, rather than FiOS so the fiber is not for them at all.
    ========
    The first to bring me 1Gbps Fiber for $30/m wins!

  • What release level of code do you get when you download a disk image (ISO/IMG) of a click-to-run Office 2013 product?

    I’ve asked a similar question to this on an Office Community Forum but nobody knows the answer.  So
    I was hoping that an IT professional responsible for installing and deploying Office 2013 might know.
    If you download an installation disk image (ISO/IMG) of a click-to-run Office 2013 product from office.microsoft.com/myaccount (Account Options:
    Install from a disc > I want to burn a disc), what release level of code do you get? 
    Now that Service Pack 1 is available, do you get a disk image with Service Pack 1 incorporated? 
    Or do you still get the RTM (Release to Manufacturing) level of code?

    Diane, thank you for the reply.
    I was hoping that someone who has downloaded a disk image since SP1 became available would be able to confirm that for a fact.
    I have just found a good description of Click-to-Run on Technet that I didn't know existed.  The link is: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219427(v=office.15)
    The article states:
    "Click-to-Run products that you download and install from Microsoft are up-to-date from the start. You won’t have to download and apply any updates or service packs immediately after you install the Office product."
    This statement is probably true if you click the Install button on office.microsoft.com/myaccount and install "in real-time" over the Internet.  However, I know for a fact that it is not true if you order a backup disk (Account
    Options: Install from a disc > I want to purchase a disc).  All you get is RTM level code (15.0.4420.1017).
    So I still feel uneasy about what release level you get if you download a disk image.  I don't want to download what might be the better part of 1GB of code over the Internet only to discover it is back level.
    Addendum (6 April 2014): I decided to perform an experiment.  I looked at the size of the data on my backup disk which contains RTM level code.  It is 2.04GB.  I then went to office.microsoft.com/myaccount and clicked to download a disk
    image of my Office 2013 product.  The pop-up window that asks me whether I want to Run or Save the file informed me that the size of the file is 2.04GB!!!  I cancelled the download.  I strongly suspect that, if I had continued with the
    download, I would have received the same RTM level code I already have dating back to October 2012.  I think this is awful customer service.  To some extent, I can understand the logistical problems of replacing backup disks lying in warehouses
    waiting to be shipped.  But I cannot understand why disk images on download servers cannot be refreshed quickly.

    Message was edited

    Hi
    :D you cannot increase internet speed!!!
    It depends on your internet service provider and only the ISP can increase it!
    If you have some issues with the data transfer speed then I recommend contacting your internet service provider!
