For the love of pete, Larry, READ before you accuse. You asked "what WiFi
has a 9MB cap" so DevilsPGD explained his WiFi network has 70Mbps bandwidth-
NOT that the iPhone connects at the that speed. You were trying to
insinuate that 9Mbps was impossible, or at least unlikely, on a typical home
network, due to the typical ISP's bandwidth caps. DPGD was simply verifying
that 9Mbps was quite possible on HIS network.

Whether you like the iPhone or not, that's pretty damned impressive for a
mobile device. My WinMo devices have nowhere near that speed over WiFi.
