There’s heaps of broadband speed tests out there. This one is listed as a speed test application for the iPhone.

http://www.inetworktest.com

When run at my desk, it reports

Results: 997.5 kbps
Not an iPhone

That’s just under 1 Megabit per second (about 220Kbytes per second)

When I ran it on my O2 EDGE connection, it reported:

Results: 324.4 kbps

That’s slightly slower than low end domestic broadband (about 40Kbytes per second)

Anyone else fancy reporting the speeds they get from their provider?

According to the list, all of the Norther Ireland towers have been done!

I’m assured this is the first rollout!
