Real world iPhone 3g speeds.
Tuesday, July 29th, 2008I’ve had my iPhone 3g for a couple weeks now and I’m still trying to decide if I am as fond of the new 3g as I was of the original.
That aside, I have been testing to see how much bandwidth AT&T is actually dedicating to each phone out of the theoretical 54mb/s speed of a 3g network and am pleased to note that I have been consistantly getting 1.69mb/s. Really no complaints from me as that trumps the 0.32mb/s I received with the first generation iPhone’s edge network, and is faster then the rumoured 1.4mb/s limit that was circulating before the release of the phone.
That’s one point in favour of the iPhone 3g against the original….. Too bad the rest of the phone has a laundry list of problems & annoyances which make me wonder why I stood in line in the rain overnight to be one of the first to get this phone, but that’s part of a future post on my experience/review of the new iPhone which I’ll add once I’ve had it a little while longer.
