Hi All,

Can I please get some people to provide download speeds and aproximate location (city/country) when downloading service packs etc.. from blackberry.com.

Down here in Oz it is a dismal 20kb/s no matter which ISP you use or physical location, seems to be normal as clients continually complain.

I find it hard to believe that it is only Australia that has a 20kb/s cap on downloads so post away!

Thanks in Advance.

RIM download speeds are as appalling as their website in general.

From Southern California, I always get 60kb/s when downloading from RIM. They clearly are capping download speeds.

I thought it was me. Man am I glad i didn't send out that email to all employees yelling about streaming music and videos and sucking up our bandwidth.

I was getting 25-30 yesterday.

95k here in MASS

[skyman84]

yeah, when I'm downloading using my ISP over here in the UK is caps at about 30k, but my works VPN goes thru Boulder Colorado in the US, then I get abour 70k-100k... Go figure!

Fantastic!

One thing that is severely annoying is the download speeds.

I'm still suprised to see that no one is breaking 100k / sec especially in the US where MS downloads are as quick as your connection allows.

Keep em coming.

112Ko/sec right now

U usually get around 200-300kb/sec. I'm also working from a very large data center with LOTS and LOTS of OC12, OC3, T3, etc.

I HATE how you can't PAUSE and RESUME downloads with RIM. WTF guys. When it takes 2 days to download a 400 meg file cause IE keeps erroring out at the end. (I hate IE too but it should work to freekn download a file).

Damn cheepskates can't pay for some descent hosting servers?? I guess it's all dumped into their databases. pfft
