iPhone 3GS speed test. Toronto to Tampa

I would really love to get the data rate on my new iPhone 3GS to hit 7.2 mbit/s, like Rogers advertises. Unfortunately, the reality is that we’ll never be able to hit that speed as the network can’t handle it. On my iPhone 3G I remember getting download speeds of about 4800 kbits/s. With the...

Rogers iPhone 3G S Launch = EPIC FAIL, Part Deux

"History repeats itself." That's one quote you hear over and over, and I think it's safe to apply this to yesterday's less than stellar iPhone 3G S launch by Rogers.
