Edge Speed Comparison: Test Case

[arn]

Hey guys.

I was hoping to get a speed comparison on EDGE between two urls:

http://www.nytimes.com/
https://www.macrumors.com/iphone/nytimes/

If you are on EDGE, I'd be interested to see the load times between the two.

thanks

Very rough estimate (counting in head):

~37 sec direct to Times URL
~17 sec thru MacRumors

Note the bulk of the site loaded much quicker in both cases. There was some object(s) which took a while about 3/4 the way through.

45 sec - direct
19 sec - through macrumors

Why the difference

Also about 12 and 8 secs on wifi.

anyone with more timings?
I don't have reception where I am so can't do it myself.

will post more later..
