    I was thinking of setting up shop at Barnes & Noble for their Wifi hotspot to download some games on my iPhone (our internet is out of service for a week or so).

    About how fast is their Wifi at Barnes & Noble/Starbucks?

    It's pretty decent, but downloading apps on it won't be a picnic. Say about a minute or two per app, compared to the 20-30 seconds on a faster, private network.

    My private network at home had a max download speed of 67 kb a second. Compared to that, how is the speed at Barnes & Noble? :p

    hmm....I get about 100 kb a sec at my house and i think barnes and noble is just a little under that. It might also depend what Barnes and noble your at. if its in big city it might be slower than a smaller city

    according to speedtest my interent download speed is is about 1 megibit per sec, but when i download something it only reaches around 100 kbs. why is that? i always thought it had to do with the server.
