Watching a page download is slow. 3G is that slow. It's ok for apps but for full webpage browsing, horrible. Don't know how people can stand it?

- elai 17y agoWhere I live, 3G has minorly more latency and 2MBit down. And the only reason it isn't 7Mbit down (as fast as my home connection) is because I have an iphone 3G vs a 3GS. Alot of the 3G browsing slowness is from the smartphone web browser being slow vs. the actual connection itself. It's alot more zippy for me to browse the web tethering to my laptop than it is on my phone.

- joeyo 17y agoIn my experience the apparent speed of 3G is strongly device dependent. When I tether my phone to my laptop it feels much, much faster then when I browse the web directly on my phone. So you are actually watching the page render not download.
