Test your iPhone at the TestmyiPhone.com network site

http://www.tuaw.com/2008/08/05/3g-ip...-2-0-1-update/

Apple claims the 3G is fast, but with all the problems with 3Gs
connecting all over the world, just how fast is it really? The folks
at Wired.com have decided to find out, and they need your help. They'd
like you to test your iPhone at the TestmyiPhone.com network speed
testing site, and then hit up their global ZeeMap to register your
speed.
http://www.zeemaps.com/map?group=98342

http://blog.wired.com/gadgets/2008/0...ne-global.html
Instructions are over on their website, and they're testing both Edge
and 3G upload and download speeds, so you'll have to run three tests
total. You'll also have to sign up for a ZeeMap account.

The eventual payoff will be a relatively clear look at iPhone speeds
around the world. Wired says that they'll eventually average global
data, but there's a lot of things that could be done with data like
this -- heatmaps? Speed per carrier? Once they get a good set of
figures together, there's probably all kinds of things that can be
done.

Whew! Breathtaking!

Remember that 4GB video file in my long post? Forget downloading it, ok?

That is not 3g. That is EDGE.
Compare that to the typical iPhone that gets 4148 or more on wifi.

That's 3G. Edge is around 100-150Kbps....

If your wifi only goes 4148, it's probably because the buffer overflows and
halts the delivery to give the little phone time to unload it.

How fast does it say it goes from here?

No, that's 3G- EDGE tops out at about 200k down, and 40k or so up.

I love it when people quote WiFi speed, since "WiFi" doesn't tell us what
kind of internet connection lies behind the WiFi router. I have a 1.5Mbit
DSL connection at home. I dare you to get "4148" kbits/sec on an internet
download with it! ;-)

true, but i've hit 8210 via wifi, but was directly on the NSFnet
backbone at the time :)

Larry I ran the test on AT&T EDGE and I got 316. I can send you the
screen shot which proves it. Another nice feaure built into the
iPhone!



Speed tests very widely based on the location of the computer you are
connecting to.Check speedtest.net for a nice global testing system.

Vic? Hello? Since when does your FruitFone run FLASH speed tests?

Tell us all how to install FLASH so it can run the Knology test!

You wouldn't lie to us, would you?

These sites you quote run Ookla's Flash tester:
http://www.ookla.com/

Now, you tell the class how you run a Flash-based speed test from EITHER
site on a non-Flash-playing Apple FruitFone....We're all ears!

What's even MORE interesting is Vic can run Knology and Speedtest.net's
Ookla speedtest engine which is a FLASH PLAYER APPLICATION!

Not only does he get speeds EDGE isn't capable of running....a miracle in
itself, but reads it off a device THAT HAS NO FLASH PLAYER SUPPORT....a
TRUE MIRACLE!

I believe we may have caused our head fanboi to LIE to us, trashing his
reputation and credibility somethin' awful!

I baited the hook, but I never expected to catch a whole stringer full on
the first cast!
