WIFI Speed Test on my New Fibre Broadband

In 1996, I subscribed to my first Internet Provider, Pacific Internet with a then "fast" 56kbps dial-up modem.

In 2012 November 29th, I got my first Fibre Broadband with a speed of 100Mbs!

Naturally, I'm going to take my bunch of portable devices for a speed test comparison.

Here are the competitors:
1) Samsung Galaxy S WIFI 5.0 running Gingerbread 2.3.6
2) Apple iPhone 4S running iOS 5.1.1
3) Apple iPad (3rd gen) running iOS 5.1.1
4) Apple iPad Mini running iOS 6.0.1
5) Apple iPhone 5 running iOS 6.0

So, can the Apple iPhone 5, which Tim Cook said comes with "Fast WIFI" win it all?

The app to test with:
Speedtest.Net app for Android and iOS:

1. Speed Test Result for Samsung Galaxy S WIFI 5.0


2. Apple iPhone 4S

3. Apple iPad (3rd Gen)

4. Apple iPad Mini

5. Apple iPhone 5

Here's to summarise the results:

My Bet on X Factor UK 2012

I seldom watch English entertainment shows. But X Factor is one that I will always catch. It's entertainment both on-stage with the contestants and off-stage with the judges.
This season X Factor UK finalists features some good voices.

Here are two of my favourites:
Jahmene Douglas and James Arthur.

Both have great vocals.
Jahmene has a better vocal compared to James, but somehow James has the extra X Factor in his creativity style of singing.

My bet goes to James Arthur to win the competition.
