Can Internet using Bluetooth effect the speed ?

Hi akp! When I worked at my last company I was expected to be available 24/7, and while on vacation. While on vacation for two weeks, I used my Blackberry Storm cell phone as a modem. Which by the way I was on top of a mountain in Eureka Springs, where most others has difficulty with there call connection. I was easily able to log in using my laptop and cell phone as the modem, quite easily and believe it or not much faster then my broadband ISP and let me explain, I would connect to the company server then remotely connect to my desk computer, so I went through a few loops and the speed was superb. So to answer your discussion it was excellent and would do so, next time I am down like I was with my Comcast. As you can recall I was down for 9 full days with their outage. So next time I know it is going to be such a delay I will definitely connect via my cell phone as a modem. The only draw back is that when friends and co-workers would text and or call me it would disconnect my connection. So normally I worked the early morning before the office opened and I zipped through quite easily. It was $15 per month additional to my cell phone charges and so worth it to me. So for me with Verizon it was very fast. Verizon does offer trial and do not require a contract for the modem usage. I hope this helps.

Ya it can affect your speed of internet. See if you have an inbuilt bluetooth or a bluetooth adapter on your laptop it may not be able to cross 100kb/s speed, which was in my case, and if you are using internet which is providing speeds greater than 100kb/s it will automatically be limited to 100kb/s. So it depends on the bluetooth adapters as bluetooth 2.0 of mobiles can give max speed of 2.1mbps

I don't think so because using bluetooth is like using a software like many other found in the laptop or computer, and I want to say here that like many softwares which sometimes seems to slow the computer so bluetooth can be one among them too but I don't think it will slow the laptop to a great deal though!

For the past one year i was using my mobile only for internet, i used connect my mobile with pc through bluetooth only. I never used usb cable for it. The net speed with bluetooth will be slow only, but how mobile net speed itself will be slow whether you use with bluetooth or usb. You cannot download anything and browsing speed will also be slow only. Now i cancelled the mobile net and using reliance wireless net currently..

internet speed is affected by the media you use for connectivity. though traffic and even humidity may be a factor as well. bluetooth transfers data in certain packets, each with a limited data size.

Bluetooth's limited bandwidth is definitely a weak link when used for tethering purposes. Many of the cellular wwan connections are considerably faster than bluetooth, particularly now that EVxDO Rev A is widely deployed. Bluetooth 2.0 and the 2.1 spec which recently got signed off upon offer something called EDR (extended data rate), which increases the bandwidth a couple fold, but frankly it is still not enough. Bluetooth is, imo, really showing its holes, chiefly due to a lack of forward thinking when the spec was initially designed. A bluetooth 3.0 spec which breaks with the original spec entirely would be most welcome. A lot of handsets are coming out with 802.11 support these days. I think a great stopgap solution while waiting for a not yet extant future Bluetooth spec to solve all the problems of the world would be to be able to put the WiFi chip and access point mode to share out the WWAN connection. My guess is the FIC NEO 1973 is likely to be the first phone to support this sort of function, due to being completely open source. There are a number of companies making WWAN to WiFi routers including Kyocera, Linksys and Junxion, and it is fairly trivial to roll your own, but all these solutions are far too bulky imo. A cell phone as instant hotspot is definitely on my top ten lists of tech I would like to see in the not too distant future

well yeah it does depend up on media you use for connection.. if you are using 3G speed and connect via bluetooth will decrease the speed but if you are using GPRS service and speed is around 144 or 256 kbps then no speed difference you can find in wired media or bluetooth one.. :-) even I am using bluetooth with my laptop and mobile connection for using net..

Hi, I'm unable to solve your problem. But you can go the This website was build up by a coup of technical staff, and they opened a live chat on their site, and it did help me a lot. So I hope it help you in some way:)
