said by Guspaz:Not necessarily. Canadian networks aren't as poorly built as American ones.
When I tether with my iPhone (Rogers' HSDPA (7.2mbit) network via Fido), I can often get 4-5 mbit/s. If you almost triple the amount of available bandwidth without tripling the number of customers, and keep the cap about the same, wouldn't you expect triple the speeds?
I'd expect 15mbit/s or so from the new service.
I have a iphone 3g the highest speed ive ever seen is 2megabits, that was when I was almost next to the cell tower. I will admit ive only tested it in whitby, out east of whitby and north of whitby. But results have been the same or worse everywhere ive tested it at. The latency is also redicliously bad too.
