In theory, you can get higher bandwidth, like about 110k, but it depends on your provider. IIRC, the GPRS is based on slots, some are set as down, and some set as up. Depending on how many down and how many up, you can get better bandwidth.

They were quoting 56k bandwidth - I had a chance to play with a demo set up and certainly found no problems running ICA sessions. -----Original Message----- From: tore hansen [mailto:tore.hansen@xxxxxx] Sent: 01 October 2003 12:31 To: thin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [THIN] Re: GPRS communication The ICA connection need approximately 20-30KB, so the 56KB will work fine, I have heard 13-15KB in a GPRS test environment, any comment.
