I find this very interesting, as I have recently been tasked with a
report on this type of global comparison. I would be happy to share my
findings with anyone listed, and hope more people will come forward with
their links/experiences.
Has anyone seen any speed comparisons? Particularly unbiased tests of
speed? Are there any applets/software that will test speeds, and work
on Internation phones?
