Default 3G vs WiFi Performance

Please Login to Remove!

Out of curiousity - I just sent an email with a 1.1MB file with WiFi enabled and without WiFi enabled in a 3G area (I'm on O2 in the UK). With WiFi enabled it took 50 seconds to send, without WiFi (ie with 3G) it took 5min 10 sec.

So - at least on O2 3G, I can get much better throughput when I have a WiFi signal.

Did you expect different results? WiFi is a lot faster than 3G... so what you're seeing is pretty normal.

Yah odd question when WiFi will always be faster than 3G. The the results you should expect.

I expected it to be faster - didn't realise it would be quite that much faster (ie 6 times faster).

It really depends on the internet connection behind the wifi. 144k DSL is going to get smacked around by 3G, while a 12G cable connection is obviously going to be much faster than 3G.
