We used to think that we would have a speedy wireless connection over the mobile phone network by now.
Well, it turns out that 3G, which has a theoretical data rate of 2.1 Mbps, delivers between 500kbps and 900kbps at best. These numbers don’t seem so bad, but the latency (the lag between a request and response) is just horrendous. To make things worse, 3G coverage is still spotty. That’s why fast wireless data connect is the technology that missed the mark for us.
