[QUOTE="Dingbat, post: 64751, member: 465"] The problem is that all ISP's (mobile or wired) advertise bandwidth and push these bug numbers into our faces to woo us over to their services. Bandwidth is the maximum amount of data that can travel on a communication path at any given time Latency is the time taken to travel from source to destination Throughput is the data transfer rate achieved by combining these two Put simply, bandwidth is what you pay for, Throughput is what you actually get. Would be nice for ISP's to give us this information. Based on my experience with a HSDPA 7.2, I never achieve that throughput and I have more than decent coverage, so it seems to me that mobile internet, although convenient(reason I use it) is not necessarily the best performer [/QUOTE]
