So, I've got a GPRS uplink where I amright now. 67.5kbit/s. If I got my operators right, my phone is capable of using two lanes, for a total of 110kbit/s, if the net allows for it.
Yesterday evening, I was chatting on #BF2s, and we started talking connections. I went "fuck it with GPRS taxes, it's mom who's paying, anyhow", and did a speedtest. Which surprised me. To say the least. I got 280kbit/s down, which, is more than even the bluetooth that's connecting my phone to the computer can do (Bluetooth 1.1, 115.2kbit/s)!
How is this possible? My phone shouldn't be able to reach anything near those speeds, and neither should my Bluetooth. I doubt the phone is caching data, as it's only got 2MB RAM. Any light on this would be appreachiated.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP
