    YouTube - Edge vs WiFi

    So I just noticed after coming home from my parents house the YouTube quality when using Edge versus WiFi. My parents dont have an internet connection and i was showing off the Iphone to them tonight. I noticed the video quality was pixelated at their house. I played the same video when I got home on a WiFi connection, and it looked 100% better...

    I dont understand why it would do that. Even though the Edge is a significantly slower connection, I wouldnt mind waiting an extra minute or so for the better quality. Especially if I am showing off the phone to a first timer....

    Yeah, I noticed the same thing. The quality was TERRIBLE on EDGE, but it was as if it was in HD on WiFi.

    Yeah,

    And a lot of the videos are in stereo over WiFi as well, which irritates me because I can't get them in stereo on my PC. (Put on your headphones).

    What's up with that?
