3G networks don’t deliver speeds users expect
Last week, I compared my experiences with Wi-Fi and 3G. In the comments section, TechRepublic member w2ktechman effectively summed it up by highlighting Wi-Fi’s superior performance for a stationary network and 3G’s “roamability.”
What I did not elaborate on — and didn’t have space for anyway — was a recent report compiled by Gartner that noted its unsurprising findings that 3G networks don’t deliver the speeds users expect. Computerworld has a relatively detailed report on it, which you can check out here.
Now, while the study was specific to the four major U.S. wireless carriers, my personal experiences and a couple of unrelated amateur tests of broadband speeds lead me to agree that 3G networks simply don’t deliver on their advertised speeds.
