Hey Simon,<div><br></div><div>I have tried using 3G services in the past and found the latency to be quite a lot more then xDSL or even fixed wireless services. In testing the Big T shone out in terms of throughput and latency, I also know that they are upgrading their load balancers and proxies for 3G data at the moment.</div>
<div><br></div><div>In terms of testing, I was using a Cisco router with built in 3G via WIC card and it was very good, you can monitor the stats from it via SNMP.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers</div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">

<p class="MsoNormal">Hey All,</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Was wondering if anyone has had a bit of experience with testing of signal strength of different carriers’ wireless 3G devices/services. Weather this be a piece of software or hardware that can provide a little more information that the
standard fair from a USB dongle</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Ideally I am interested in a piece of software that resides on a remote machine that can report back to a head end that can keep historical information and can be reported on.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Also was wondering if anyone could give an idea of there experience with latency over different networks in regards to 3G. A good comparison would be the difference that can be experience from a wired connected to a 3G in the same area
to the same destination. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I know these are all pretty specific questions but I am certain a few people in ausnog land have run into this in some way, shape or form.</p>
