1 edit | 3G Networks cracking under Facebook? What twaddle. quote:
The data, collected from three out of five UK mobile networks, showed that social networks such as Facebook account for nearly half of the time that users spend online via handsets.
Time is absolutely IRRELEVANT. Web surfing social sites is an idle application. You load the page and then read. You type and upload. Then read some more. HTML pages constitute very little data and while you are reading you aren't generating any throughput at all.
Streaming video meanwhile is a bandwidth hogging consistency for the entire duration of viewing.
Social networks crushing 3G? Twaddle. |

Streaming video meanwhile is a bandwidth hogging consistency for the entire duration of viewing. From what I have seen here in the US vs the test data from the UK, many users are frequently uploading video and photos from their phones. That traffic is a big deal on mobile networks. So, it isn't all just text typing and reading text pages now, there is a lot of uploading and downloading of videos and photos as well. |

1 edit | We also saw Bell Canada claim their networks were congested. That was horsecrap too.

Europe's largest Wi-Fi provider The Cloud is claiming...
There is no evidence to support this claim and it is nothing more than marketing from a COMPETITOR to 3G services. The actual data collected from cellular carriers was about the TIME spent performing a particular activity. Time is irrelevant and has no correlation to data consumption compared to other uses of 3G networks particularly when you are talking about FaceBook.
FaceBook isn't crushing anything. |
