<p>Contemporary wireless communication devices provide high data rate services, but the actual data rate achievable by a given device at a given time may be substantially less than a relevant maximum data rate that is theoretically achievable Accordingly, among its several advantages, the present invention manages users' expectations for data service performance by providing them with an indication of the available data rate anticipated for data sen ices, in relation to a maximum data rate. In one embodiment, a user's wireless communication device displays a data rate gauge that indicates the anticipated available rate in relation to the maximum rate. Doing so sets the user's; expectations for data service performance in advance of engaging in the data service.</p> |
