Out of interest, how long does it take to fully load a certain website? Say, news.bbc.co.uk

That way I can load the same page on my EDGE iPhone and compare!

That test does NOT seem accurate at all. I have the original iphone and ran the test. I got (5450 kpbs / 665kb/s) and it said it thinks im on 3G or Wifi, which I am not.

Im getting around 800kbps on iNetworktest.

Hopefully O2 roll out their 3.6MB HSDPA soon.

Can I do this test on my Instinct???

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to.

I was very torn about getting the 3G but 40secs on my current iPhone compared to 30secs on 3G just isn't worth it for me.

GPS isn't a deal breaker either.

Oh well, I'll wait another year for the next update.

40 seconds is kinda high for 3G. I just tested it again in a better part of my house it took only about 15 seconds or so.

I am wondering if my 3G sucks, which it shouldnt, its San Antonio. best i've gotten is 1.22 Mbps, 149 kb/s. Even with wifi off it registered a lot of my test speeds as wifi. Only the two on top is my actual wifi at home.
