I am curious about just how fast this 3G connection is. I live on a
small island with monopoly dsl and no cable because the same company
owns the cable system and the telephone system. If I download a file on
Safari, the fastest speeds I can get are 50 Kbytes per sec, and usually
slower. I guess this translates to 4-500 kbps service. Streaming
video spends a lot of time buffering. I actually subscribe to ATT
right now for cell service on a Nokia, because, strangely enough, they
offer the best service on my pebble.
OK. This is a dumb-ass hypothetical question. But if I bought a 3G
iPhone, and some third party hardware developer made an external
FireWire box that I could connect to my Mac that would allow it to use
my 3G ATT data service, would this be faster than my crappy current
pseudo-dsl?
