wired survey on iphone 3g speeds worldwide (including canada)

As the title sug­gests, Wired has pub­lished an art­icle on iPhone 3G speeds world­wide. Us Canucks seemed to have fared rel­at­ively well:

# Cana­dian car­ri­ers Rogers and Fido tied for second fast­est with an aver­age down­load speed of about 1,330 Kbps on average.

That’s second world­wide by car­rier. T-Mobile in Europe won the prize with aver­age speed of 1,822 Kbps while AT&T in the US aver­aged a some­what sad 990.

That being said, even the slow, slow band­width in ths US is a wee bit faster than the turtle-like (com­par­at­ively speak­ing) max 120 Kbps that Rogers’ EDGE provides.

Time to go get an iphone. Or maybe a Bold.
