Internet UMTS, mobile phone, Linux speed connection vs Windows one
Hello,
I'm using Internet UMTS with my UMTS phone using bluetooth.
Under Windows XP I download content at 35/40 Kb/sec with no problem.
Under Linux using pppd call or KPPP there is no problem surfing the web but I'm limited at 10Kb/sec.
Why Linux is so slow with UMTS?
I controlled all my settings under Linux and it seems that there is no problem, but it is slow.
Why Windows is faster then linux? Where I'm wrong?

This is my UMTS file when I launch
pppd call UMTS
Code:
# File:
# gprs
#
# Description:
# Serial cable, IrDA, Bluetooth and USB pppd options for GPRS phones.
# Keep pppd attached to the terminal:
# Comment this to get daemon mode pppd
nodetach
# Debug info from pppd:
# Comment this off, if you don't need more info
debug
# Show password in debug messages
hide-password
# Connect script:
# scripts to initialize the GPRS modem and start the connection,
# wvdial command is for Orange SPV while other phones should work with chat
connect /etc/ppp/peers/gprs-connect-chat_V3x_vodafone
#connect "/usr/bin/wvdial --chat --config /etc/ppp/peers/gprs-wvdial.conf
#radiolinja_usb_orange_spv"
# Disconnect script:
# AT commands used to 'hangup' the GPRS connection.
disconnect /etc/ppp/peers/gprs-disconnect-chat_V3x
# Serial device to which the GPRS phone is connected:
# /dev/ttyS0 for serial port (COM1 in Windows),
# /dev/ircomm0 for IrDA,
#/dev/ttyUB0 #for Bluetooth (Bluez with rfcomm running) and
#/dev/ttyUSB0 for USB
#/dev/ttyS0 # serial port one
#/dev/ttyS1 # serial port two
#/dev/ircomm0 # IrDA serial port one
/dev/rfcomm0 # Bluetooth serial port one
#/dev/ttyUSB0 # USB serial device, for example Orange SPV
# Serial port line speed
460800 # fast enough
#57600 # perhaps usefull with IrDA
# Hardware flow control:
# Use hardware flow control with cable, Bluetooth and USB but not with IrDA.
crtscts # serial cable, Bluetooth and USB
#nocrtscts # IrDA
# Ignore carrier detect signal from the modem:
local
lock
modem
# IP addresses:
# - accept peers idea of our local address and set address peer as 10.0.0.1
# (any address would do, since IPCP gives 0.0.0.0 to it)
# - if you use the 10. network at home or something and pppd rejects it,
# change the address to something else
#:10.0.0.1
# pppd must not propose any IP address to the peer!
noipdefault
# Accept peers idea of our local address
ipcp-accept-local
# Add the ppp interface as default route to the IP routing table
defaultroute
# DNS servers from the phone:
# some phones support this, some don't.
usepeerdns
# ppp compression:
# ppp compression may be used between the phone and the pppd, but the
# serial connection is usually not the bottleneck in GPRS, so the
# compression is useless (and with some phones need to disabled before
# the LCP negotiations succeed).
novj
nobsdcomp
novjccomp
nopcomp
noaccomp
# The phone is not required to authenticate:
noauth
# Username and password:
# If username and password are required by the APN, put here the username
# and put the username-password combination to the secrets file:
# /etc/ppp/pap-secrets for PAP and /etc/ppp/chap-secrets for CHAP
# authentication. See pppd man pages for details.
# Example, Radiolinja operator pap-secrets:
#user "rlnet"
# Asyncmap:
# some phones may require this option.
#asyncmap 0
# No magic:
# some phones may require this option.
#nomagic
# Require PAP authentication:
# some phones may require this option.
#require-pap
and this is my UMTS-connect-chat
Code:
#!/bin/sh
#
# File:
# gprs-connect-chat
#
# Description:
# chat script to open Radiolinjas GPRS service with GPRS phones. If ppp
# negotiation stalls, try restarting the phone. To try with other GPRS
# operator setting, change the PDP contex setting. The settings work with
# most Ericsson models, but Nokia 8310 and 30 do not support QoS parameters
# with AT commands, so just delete those lines and it'll work.
#
# Set PDP context CID=1, protocol=IP, APN=internet:
# AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","web.omnitel.it","",0,0
#
# Set CID=1 QoS requirements from the network, not supported by Nokia:
# AT+CGQREQ=1,0,0,0,0,0
#
# Set CID=1 minimum acceptable QoS parameters, not supported by Nokia:
# AT+CGQMIN=1,0,0,0,0,0
#
# 'Call' CID=1 (activate PDP context one, perform GPRS attach):
# ATD*99#
#
# Some phones like the Orange SPV (yes, the Microsoft Smartphone) use this
# dial string to start GPRS connection:
# ATD*99#
#
# The actual chat script:
exec chat \
TIMEOUT 5 \

ABORT '\nBUSY\r' \
ABORT '\nERROR\r' \
ABORT '\nNO ANSWER\r' \
ABORT '\nNO CARRIER\r' \

'' \rAT \
TIMEOUT 12 \
SAY "Press CTRL-C to close the connection at any stage!" \
SAY "\ndefining PDP context...\n" \

TIMEOUT 22 \
SAY "\nwaiting for connect...\n" \
CONNECT "" \
SAY "\nConnected." \
SAY "\nIf the following ppp negotiations fail,\n" \
SAY "try restarting the phone.\n"
I think that all is well configured, I can surf the web without problem but I can't go faster then 10Kb/sec.
As I repeat this is very strange due to on Windows XP I can surf at 35/40 Kb/sec.
Please help me understanding where is the problem on my Fedora Core 6.
Please.
