Everythingiphone EDGE test thread - iPhone 3G

theraker007 · 06-29-2007, 06:26 PM

When you get your iphone and have a chance, go to the following websites and time how long it takes you from the time you click enter until the time the page is FULLY loaded:

-google.com
-nytimes.com
-espn.com
-everythingiphone.com

4 popular websites all with different levels of content.
Once we get several responses, I will take the average times and post it at the top of this thread so everyone has a general sense of the speed of edge, unbiased, from us, not using stupid dslreports or whatever. I dont care what bandwith measuring websites say, I care how long it takes to open popular webpages that we all frequent.

note: observe the EDGE test in the thread title, please do not give me WIFI times. We all know what WIFI can do. ALso please limit the tests to your iphone.

I dunno, it might be useful in retaining a balance between fanboyism and reality. As long as he/she sticks to bitching about valid points, and not just making stuff up. Have to tone down the swearing to appear a little more sound of mind though. Right now just sounds angry.

There seems to be an influx of apple bashers. I'm going back and forth from my spot in the line to in front of the Apple Store. with their wifi and my powerbook, I'm removing posts and banning as i see them. It's easy wipe them out, but more diificult when they are quoted since those quotes remain. I'll be working on cleaning that stuff up tonight.

I just found this...

"The iPhone doesn't run on the fastest data networks available and when I typed www.msnbc.com, it took 30 seconds for the home page to fully load, pictures and all."

in an article where a reporter got to use one early.....it took 30 seconds to load the front page of MSNBC.com, i guess thats not that bad if he wasnt using wi-fi....

MSNBC has a pretty busy front page, its my homepage and there are tons of pictures and stuff all over the place...so i guess thats not a bad sign...
