Speedtest

I downloaded the speedtest.net application and over the course of a month tested my speeds on wifi and 3g in Seattle. I was wondering what speeds people were getting as mine feel really low
For wifi I'm avging about 1/2 mbps (my upload is faster )
For 3g I'm avging about .5/.3 mbps
Is there a different speedtest I should be using? Are these speeds typical or is something wrong with my phone...
Thing is. I feel like the internet is pretty fast esp on wifi... maybe the readings are just wrong

Wifi N @ home - Ping: 37, Download: 2,245kbps, Upload: 2,822kbps
Wifi G @ work - Ping: 151, Download: 607kbps, Upload: 1,364kbps
3G - Ping: 138, Download: 802kbps, Upload: 427kbps
H - Ping: 111, Download: 927kbps, Upload: 244kbps

My 3G speeds have varied too much by location to really justify posting here. I've never seen over 1Mbps, but I usually see over 400Kbps down. Up varies a lot more, but never more than 1Mbps and never less than 100kbps.
But, what I did want to mention is that I have an N router with 20Mbit Comcast connection at home and my phone typically sees 10Mbit down and 5 to 8Mbit up. I also see speeds in that range here at work where I can't vouch for what kind of routers or what kind of internet connection they use, but both are likely fairly fast.
So, if you are only seeing 1/2Mbps on your Wifi, it is probably limited by your router or your broadband connection.
[BTW, browsing the web via Wifi at home and at work feels almost as snappy as my latest generation Macbook Pro. It was quite stunning compared to my G1...]

Tested my phone for couple days with the speedtest app. Highest I've gotten today is 3341kbps download speed. Usually download speeds are between 2500 and 3000.

Max speed on 3G / HSDPA

Hi,
What is the max speed i can reach with my HD2
My provider is gonna change the speed this summer for 7,2 Mbit/s to 14,4 Mbit/s.
And how can i see what is my maximum speed?

With 1 bar on 3g I get around 1000-1100 with full bars on 3g I get around 2500-2700

I just got 1.5 at -85 dBm. So, not bad.

someone want to move this to the general section.
why on earth would you post this in the Dev section.

What kind of 3g speeds do you get on your N1?

Just curious what speed is normal for 3g downloads. Where I live (boonies) I'm only on edge but have wifi in my house. But at work, which is in a city with 3g, I see down speeds of maybe 100 kbps. Been awhile so I can't remember for sure. But the last test I ran via speakeasy.net showed me @ ~1.13mb down and up on 3g. What 3g speeds do you guys see and is my area just a turd or are those average 3g speeds?

I get somewhere between 2 to 5mbps down and 1.7 up, depending on signal strength.
Also, what area are you in? that will give us more info. (and as to whether its a hspa+ city).

The best speedtest result was DL:3.4Mbps HSDPA. Average is around 2Mbps. Telco: CELCOM Malaysia

Bowling Green Ky is the 3g area I frequent. Its 3g is piss poor pitiful then in comparison to you guys.

My n1 is on T-Mobile in lower Mahatten, financial district, I get 302 kbps down and 298 kbps up. It's not bad, but I wish it were better

Max was 4Mbps down and 1.4Mbps up or so.
Average is about 1/2 of those values.

At home at around midnight I get around 5.5 mbps down. 1.3 up.

Edited: ok -got my answer: speedtest.net
How do you measure DL and UL speed ?

Where are you guys that are you getting such good 3g speeds? I'm Manhatten and it is horrid.

I average around 2mbit down, 1.2mbit up here in Central Kentucky, but I've seen as high as 2.6mbit down, 1.5mbit up.
Just ran a test, 2.4mbit, 1.3mbit. Why the Speedtest app picks weird random servers I don't know, but what's funny is I usually get the fastest speed on the one it picks so I just leave it alone.

See my sig. I always get these speeds, live in montreal. This carrier is new so there isn't any congestion...

my average 3G speeds. NYC. my top speedtest is at 6.3mbps

I live in Corona CA, which by no means is a small city and i routinely get 4-5 Megs during what some would call 'peak" hours and anywhere above that late night.

At work in Hillsboro, Or. I get from 1.5-3.5mb/s down and 600kb - 1.5mb up. On ****ty ATT.

This is horrid guys. In fairness, a lot of times I get into the 1.0Mb range but here in my results from speakeasy.
I'm in Bowling Green, Ky on At&t

Dang. Yea the speeds I mentioned were T-Mobile's, and it seems they don't have 3G in Bowling Green. AT&T seems to, though its not that big of 3g coverage.

Sounds like UTMS (3G), not HSPA (3.5G). What's the fastest speed you've ever gotten?
UTMS supports up to 2 Mbit/s data transfer rates, although typical users can expect performance of around 64 kbit/s in a heavily loaded real-world system.
And on top of that, looks like Bowling Green has a fairly tight radius around the city that's "Mobile Broadband", but doesn't say if it's UTMS, HSDPA, or HSPA.

Have 4G Tower Upgrades Throttled Tethering Speeds?

After nearly a month of periodic outages and erratic 1x speeds, 4G performance has stabilized at near pre-upgrade levels, but tethering speeds have suffered a near knock-out punch.
Pre-Upgrade
Tower to device average mid day 4.5 mbps / 1.03 mbps
Tethered P.C. (Easytether) 4.5 mbps / 1.03 mbps
Tower to device average evening 2.5 mbps / 1.03 mbps
Tethered P.C. (Easytether) 2.5 mbps / 1.03 mbps
Post upgrade
Tower to device average mid day 4.0 mbps / 0.80 mbps
Tethered P.C. (Easytether) 0.6 mbps / 0.65 mbps
Tower to device average evening 2.5 mbps / 0.80 mbps
Tethered P.C. (Easytether) 0.5 mbps / 0.65 mbps
Now get this sh*t,
Simultaneous speed tests...
Tethered P.C. started first
Tower to device mid day 2.5 mbps / 0.65 mbps
Tethered P.C. 0.8 mbps / 0.70 mbps
Evo started first
Tower to device 3.0 mbps / 0.75 mbps
Tethered P.C. 1.5 mbps / 0.80 mbps
Any ideas how to get tethered speeds up to pre-upgrade levels? My Evo is running the same Myn's RLS 5 w/ SBC 4.1.9. net's before and after tower upgrade. I've done full wipe and fresh install, reprovisioned, the works.
I have played with Filter Proxy to no avail.
Should I roll back to 2.1?
