In a time of chimpanzees, I was a penguin.
The religious right is motivated by the suspicion that someone, somewhere,
is having fun -- and that this must be stopped.
My new Verizon 4G iPad came in today. Of course I took it out for a speed test almost ASAP. On the Compost via WiFi, download speed was 15.66Mbps, upload speed was 4.93Mbps, and the ping to their server was 18ms. Over Verizon's LTE wireless network... Download 32.34Mbps, upload 12.48Mbps, ping time 39ms.
To say that this thing is *fast* is like saying the ocean is big... sorta an understatement. Just sayin'.

Ah, but can you flip it over and cook eggs on it? That seems to be the gist of some of the reports.
ReplyDeleteHey, that just makes it multipurpose! ;).

Now, not being technologically gifted, it sounds like (a) the iPad itself is what you're crowing about, and (b) Verizon lets you send/receive roughly twice the data in the same time when compared to Compost (I love that name for them). Since I started with a 9600 baud modem, both sound pretty freakin' fast to me. Anyways, congrats. Oh, and the lovely yet talented Mrs618 just got one -- also on Verizon -- and she seems pretty happy with it here in Maine.
ReplyDeleteAh, the days of Compuserve CB Simulator on a 900 baud modem...
ReplyDeleteDon't forget, the ocean is not only big, it is also very, very wet.
