I’m seeing blog posts all over saying “OMG EDGE iz faster lolz!” Yes, yes it is, as we told you it would be a month ago. It’s being called “Fine Edge”, and AT&T says to expect up to 100kpbs, but in some areas you might even hit that theoretical ceiling of 200kpbs. It’s all very satisfying, actually, because although I am a 3G man whenever possible, sometimes an EDGE-only window The blogosphere was abuzz Friday with reports that AT&T’s EDGE network was reaching uncharacteristically high speeds of 200 kilobits per second in advance of the Apple iPhone release.

Here's a more immediate benefit I wasn't expecting - AT&T has been upgrading their EDGE data network to work better with the iPhone, which is EDGE only. While most Windows Mobile phones these days are coming out with 3G capabilities, some are still stuck back in the stone EDGE age (HTC S710, I'm looking at you). For those folks, the added speed is a nice little spillover benefit from the coming iPhone armageddon.

An AT&T employee who works on Operations tells us that the carrier ordered a last-minute beefing up of its EDGE throughput, latency and coverage in anticipation of the iPhone.
