Noticed the speed of M1′s mobile broadband/broadband on mobile is really irregular. I have had times of terrible speeds, terrible latency in the range of tens of thousands ms. On lucky days I get my fair share of the speed I am entitled to.

My equipments
As I do not have a USB dongle, my Nokia E51 doubled up as my 3.5g modem. The mobile connection is shared out to my iPod Touch (2G) through JoikuSpot.

Monitoring procedure
I use mobile on broadband frequently – reading news and mails, downloading apps on iPod Touch, surfing blogs of friends, etc. At times, the response is really sluggish on mobile broadband. So I would try to do speedtest regularly to track the performance of M1 Mobile Broadband.

The results
