YouTube - Edge vs WiFi

epic · 07-08-2007, 10:05 PM

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.

yea, id wait for the quality to be better rather than bad quality and wait less time.

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?
