I get around 9 - 12 kBps using Nokia 6681 and DKU-2 Cable while Blue tooth it reaches in the range of 7-9 kBps while downloading any file in opera. These download speeds are consistent after some initial period when the downloading speed shows upto 30 kBps.

Re : Boosting Airtel GRPS speed
I belong to TN and use airtel gprs (using bluetooth and non EDGE phone) for Rs.375 unlimited usage (all premium content downloads are chargeable). I get 4.2 KB/s from 02:00 AM to 08:00 PM. I get only 2.85 KB/s in remaining time because all local mobile to mobile calls from 10 PM to 8 AM are Rs.0.39. I have read in an article that in mobile transmitter, they will give more priority for voice pulses than data pulses and the mobile tower splits voice and data packets seperately (in GPRS mode). That is why speed is slow. Follow this way to get faster speed :
01) Click and open 'My Network Places' icon.
02) In the window that has opened, left click 'View network connections' under network tasks menu.
03) Right click the dialup icon (that you created for GPRS dialup) and click on properties.
04) Click 'Configure' button under 'General' tab.
05) In 'Maximum speed (bps)' option, choose 9600 and click ok and click apply first and then ok to close all windows and try.
Although the speed setting is slow, yo will get 100% utilization of network (can be seen by pressing Control + alt + delete and then going to 'Networking' tab). Or else only 1% of network will be utilized !!!.
But one more thing. Upload speed is worst in Airtel GPRS. Download speed is blazing fast. Maximum speed of GPRS standard is only 40.2 Kbps. I don't know what it is exactly KB/s , KBPS, KBps , Kbps or so. If you use it on EDGE phone, you may get 115.2 Kbps or more depending upon the version of EDGE (such as EDGE class 1 multislot, class 2, etc) that the phone is based on.
NOTE : DON'T FALSELY CURSE 'BLUETOOTH' TECHNOLOGY OK?. SPEED OF BLUETOOTH IS ONLY MORE THAN ITS OLDER VERSIONS LIKE IrDA. Infrared, cable, etc. IF YOU USE DUPLICATE BLUETOOTH DEVICES, YOU WILL GET ONLY WORST SPEEDS. CAN'T YOU GUYS BUY ORIGINAL DEVICES WITH WARRANTY?. HEY HEY STOP. IT IS NOT TOO COOOOSSSTTTTTLY FOR MIDDLE CLASS PEOPLE. OK?.
