Wireless, 3G and 2G Network Speed

By Zhiqiang Ma On Dec 12, 2012

I get wireless, 3G and 2G network connection via my iPhone. I tested the network speed of a wireless, 3G and 2G network possible from my iPhone using the App from OFCA.

Wifi of sMobileNet network in HKUST: 25604 kbps:

wifi-network-speed

3G network from a carrier in Hong Kong: 2776 kbps:

3g-network-speed

2G network from a carrier in Hong Kong: 169 kbps:

2g-network-speed

 

If we consider the speed of 2G network as 1X. Then the relative speed for Wifi, 3G and 2G networks are:

Network Relativespeed
2G 1.0X
3G 16.4X
Wifi 151.5X
