"Without a final BB 10 phone, the developers will be left still waiting to really get enough ecosytem ready for the launch. BB phones came first, and then the programs later on. This is is all backwards and everybody knows it."

About Computer Networking: How Fast Are 3G and 4G Networks?

Computer Networking

Fundamentals

Uses and Upgrades



From Bradley Mitchell, your Guide to Computer Networking
Not too many years long ago, people often dreaded the idea of using a cell phone to transfer data on the Internet, because the process was so slow. Cell networks have improved greatly with the passage of time, however. If you are lucky to be in range of a good one, you may even see speeds higher than on your own home Internet. See: Which 3G and 4G Networks Are Fastest in the U.S.?

How Fast is a Cell Phone Modem?
The trouble is, it's almost impossible to define just what performance level to expect from a cell phone Internet connection. The numbers quoted by one provider don't apply to anyone using a different provider, and variations between cities, towns and rural areas can also be huge. What kind of speeds are you getting?
See More About:  modems  computer network speed 

How Is Network Performance Measured?
The kinds of data people send across computer networks include emails, photos, documents, and tweets. When it comes to measuring network performance, all of that gets boiled down to bits. Understanding the concept of "bits" (and related concept of "bytes") is extremely helpful when trying to figure out if your connection is performing as it should.

Top Internet Speed Test Services
An Internet speed test measures the network bandwidth (and sometimes latency) of your connection by using sample data files and test Web servers. You can use these speed test services to measure your download speeds and verify the Internet service provider is supplying you the expected amount of bandwidth... .

Tips for Troubleshooting Slow Home Internet Connections
If your home network and/or Internet connection is running noticeably slower than it should, use this checklist to learn about common causes of this problem and what to do to fix them.
