"Download speeds are about twice as fast for those people using the AT&T EDGE network rather than a standard Wi-Fi connection."
Either the program was designed to throttle the faster connection, or DSLReports got it all wrong. |

Here, I have G enabled and can send/recieve at 22-24mbps.
Trust me, MP3s are a bit faster than 3 minutes. 3-4 seconds maybe.

I want to know on what planet is AT&T EDGE speed twice as fast as even the crappiest WiFi connection.
Whoever wrote that statement has obviously never used either AT&T EDGE or a WiFi connection. Out in the boonies, I have been forced to use a few long distance very low signal strength WiFi connections, but even the worst of them still beat using an AT&T EDGE connection (which I only use if I really, really need internet access and nothing else is available).

Wifi is an int resting creature. Anything could have affected that transfer. Also consider that processing power of the iphone. Files will transfer faster on your laptop than your mobile device due to the processing power of your device and how fast it can shove it in and out of ram.
I would be really surprised if you could transfer ~5MB of data in 3-4 seconds to your iphone over 802.11g. I would have to estimate, maybe 10-25 seconds. And that's a rough estimate. Just my thoughts. |
