Using i.dslr.net/iphone_speedtest

iPhone 3GS get average >1000ms latency, sometime if lucky, mostly around 500ms latency
and around 80 - 130kbps download speed

Using the same SIM card, in iPhone 1st gen, I get about the same latency, but around 150 - 180 kbps download speed

Tested at the same period of time by swapping SIM card. And multiple tests.

And I have reseted the iPhone 3GS All Settings.

I am wondering whether this happens to other people. And if not, is this likely to be a faulty hardware issue for my iPhone 3GS?

Update:

After swaping out the SIM card a few times. I suddenly get the same speed on 3GS now.
Because I noticed that the SIM card slot for iPhone 3GS was not quite smooth when I insert the card, but has suddenly become smoother, could it be the SIM card connection issue?

To confirm this, I swapped the SIM card out again, and insert again. Now my EDGE speed is again very slow. Huge latency.

Thanks!
