Wired‘s following up on its iPhone 3G bandwidth map with a repeat that includes every smartphone, carrier and network in the United States. All you have to do is hit a URL with your phone’s browser: http://inetworktest.com/wired.
Writes Wired‘s Brian Chen:
The test will automatically run and users will get their results. Then, like last time, we ask them to plot their data on an interactive Zeemap. Of course, we’re going to need even more participants than last time…
This will be great for holding carriers’ feet to the fire when it comes to shabby coverage in certain cities. I get about 1.5 Mbps from Sprint Evdo Rev. A here in Pittsburgh: not bad!
It would be nice if this worked on my Treo 755p, but alas, the page says ‘javascript needed on your browser’, yet i have it enabled…
It doesn’t display the results until you indicate what network you’re on; I’m in the UK, so my provider wasn’t there – they ought to add an “other” option to stop people like me skewing their results by choosing randomly
