HSDPA Speed Test

So I was just chilling in a hotel room in Dallas, TX last night and picked up my phone to see that instead of 3G it displayed H after some research I decided to try this out i did a speed test with my mobile browser and this is the result i got
771 kbps from mobilespeedtest.com
Has anyone else enjoyed this blazing fast speeds let us know

i only got 427
3g = 400, so i guess im OKAY

some people on HSDPA get over 1 mb/s..even on 3g, I've gotten up to 800kbs before...you're not doing it right

That's pretty much exactly the speed I get on HSDPA, pretty much independent on how many bars I have lol (well with 1 bar, it tends to slow down)
But if you're in one of the areas that got the HSDPA+ update, you can hit 1.5Mbps easily

Start off by testing with some other site than mobilespeedtest...their results are inconsistent and unreliable.
Here's a good one for you, there's others if you want to search...but for results that you can trust, you need a better option than the one you're using now
http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed (just go there from opera or pIE)

Mine only shows 3G, but I'm getting 846k. I'm located in Madison, WI.

I had 1000kbps -1400kbps when I'm standing outside in the streets here in NYC

yea ive hit upward to 1800 from dslreports... mobilespeedtest i once hit 8mbs!!! lmao...

Um, maybe I am doing something wrong, but I am in salt lake city, and my 3G is giving me less than 200 kbps. I have tried opera 9, 10, skyfire, and IE. This isn't really what I have in mind for 3G speeds. I have tried this on www.dslreports.com/mspeed and www.mobilespeedtest.com. I will test this tomorrow at work, but more and more I am becoming disheartened with tmobile 3G. I also tried using my wireless network at home, and I was getting super fast speeds with it.

nj
3g 1180 kbit/second in side my brick aprtment building

So I went outside this morning and did it again, and now its double...Just under 400 kbps. Which according to mobilespeedtest.com, that is just barely slower than EDGE speeds. FML. I'm switching to verizon when my contract expires.

Fairly old thread, but would be nice to see some new tests
I was surprised when I did it, good result after testing it 5 times...
Thats with 3 bars HSDPA on o2 in scotland

Just for comparable, here is my home broadband speed from the same site
(Slow broadband, I know but its Scotland and only 20mbit from Sky... )

I get an error message there "unstable/too fast, choose a larger file."
But the largest file is 1MB and I am still getting that message.
lol

I have HD not HD2. I did't perform a special test but when using my phone as a wifi router (HSDPA connected) i download files 350-450 kbps/s on my PC. I will post here my speed test when i buy a HD2 Leo

4,900 kb/s here in the Silicon Valley with Speedtest.net.

1547kbps - mobilespeedtest (internet explorer)
(too fast a result) - dslreports (all)
.99mbps down / .92 up - speedtest.net (mobile internet explorer)
1.73mbps down / 1.24mbps up - speedtest android application
2.55 down / 1.11 up - speedtest.net (android browser)
3478kbps (100kb) / 17949kbps (7MB) - mobilespeedtest (android browser)

mobilespeedtest ~ 1800kbps
speedtest.net app ~ 4000kbps
those are the average after 5 runs.

1859 kbps using dsl reports 1mb file
3800 kbps using mobile speed test 3mb file
on o2 in North East England, UK.

5161kbps with the mobilespeedtest 7mb file. DSLReports told me all the files were loaded too fast/unreliably. The best part is that I pay 2€/mo for my mobile data with no restrictions at all here in Finland.

[CLOSED/G2] Anyone else notice a difference in wireless speedtests?

Left = Comcast via wireless laptop.
Right = Comcast via HTC G2.
Odd that there's a 10M download difference between laptop and phone.
The HTC G2 is rated up to 14.4M on 3G, so i was expecting up to that on wireless.
So far on the best results I've gotten on HSPA+ is 5M down/1.5M up.

That's strange I don't have mine yet but ill test this as well. I have been able to get higher rates than that with my other phones.

5M down is pretty good, actually. The bigger issue is latency, which is a lot lower on + networks.
Are you running 802.11g or 802.11n for the wireless network? Even if it's apples to apples, you can't expect a phone to compare well to a laptop (with full-size wifi antennas, faster CPU to run the speed test, etc) anyway.

cell phone wifi radios aren't as strong as ipod touch which aren't as strong as laptop radios, i get 5 megs on htc, 11 on ipod touch, and 20 on wifi, the device you are using makes a big difference in speed

what's funny is.. on my macbook pro via wifi, speedtest.net gives me 20 mb down and 5 mb up.... on my G2 I get... 17 mb down, and 4 mb up

My vibrant gets 6mbps down over 3g :S isn't the g2 supposed to be faster

It is. But speeds vary greatly depending on location and time-of-day.

My Vibrant would get 20Mb down over Wifi.

@OP: are you sure you're testing with the same exact server between the laptop and the G2?

Yes, the attached image shows the server in Modesto, CA, which is about 75 miles south of Sacramento.

Just Curious..

Hey I was curious about my speeds in my house so I did a test. Now i get between 0 - maybe 2 bars in here, but the internet seems to work great even not on wifi so I tried it and checked my signal.
Signal -96dBm - -106dBm
Tests ~
1. DL / 956 - UL / 371
2. DL / 1208 - UL / 406
3. DL / 1235 - UL / 220
So that seems pretty good for really crappy service.At my school though theres a Sprint box just up the road and I get great service so I'll run a few test there and see what the numbers look like! How do your numbers compare?
-D3luSi0n4L

With 3 bars:
1394 down, 606 up
I've seen as high as 1800 and as low as 900 down, so I guess that's about average for my house.

Hmm alright, so I guess my speeds are not that great. Its weird though I've seen users around here who struggle to get even close to 400 DL, with 3+ bars.
Anyway, thanks for the response!
Sincerely,
D3luSi0n4L

To tell you the truth the speeds are pretty good. I pull those speeds when I'm at home but when I'm at work they drop to the 300 - 600 range. The same can be said for campus, or pretty much any place with a large concentration of sprint devices.

I struggle to get over 80kB/s Down & Up with full bars, regardless of server using Speed Test.net app.

I have an AirRave using my Verizon FIOS 30/30 connection, so it doesn't get much faster then what I can get at home.
2029 Down
668 Up
It seems like the upload is capped around 700 or so for some reason for me. Keeps hitting 700 then dropping down when running the speed test.

At home on wifi I get my entire bandwidth 16mb down 1.5mb up.. on my airrave I get 1.8mb down 1.0mb up

umm UNREAL WIFI SPEED

i swear i will post a pic soon off my nexus s, but just to let you guys know:
all my wifi is 20mb/s plus...i have never gotten this on practically anything.
nexus one 9-10 mb
ipad 12-15mb
nexus s 12-15mb as well
this is clocking on avg 20-22mb
ANYONE ELSE? This **** is BEASTMODE. Im going to make a baby today! WOOO

I think the AnandTech.com review said they got 72mb/s with it. It was the fastest phone/tablet they had tested over wifi by a mile.
I haven't tested the wifi connection, but as far as the internet connection on wifi goes, I was getting around 11mb/s, then a minute later I would get 1.5mb/s, then I would get a bunch of pages that wouldn't load.

What's the max you can get on WiFi? Isn't it 54mbps?

its rated at 72Mbps they only got 36Mbps out of it which is still fastest phone/ tablet they have tested. iPad was the leader with 30.something... Looks like the Optimus 2X also had 30.somethingalittlelower...

i can't get above 12-13 on phone or computer...
I get 19-20 mb/s with the tab on the same network.

Same here, i'm consistently getting 20-22Mb/s on my Xoom. My DroidX never goes above 16 or 17.

if you have a wireless g adapter. i believe wireless n can go up to 128 mbps but dont quote me on that

that made me lol so i give you thanks. yea im not quite certain on how wireless tech works. Im just going by what i remember when I had xp and it told you bitrate down at the taskbar if you hovered or the wifi signal. When I had a wireless b/g router it always said 54mbps but when I got a wireless b/g/n router it said 128 mbps.

well the a/b/g/n bands are in both wifi bands of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz respectively. The a/n bands are in the 5GHz band, and it has a higher data transfer rate, but shorter distance. It goes thru brick walls easier tho.
wireless n can get anywhere from 130-160 realworld, and is capable of reaching 300mbps. but if your router has other devices on it that operate at any of the 2.4GHz bands, then you'll greatly decrease your speeds using n.

Erroneous Speed Tests on Atrix

Need your Help, I went into a AT&T store today, and got to play with a Sales Persons Personal Atrix, not a Demo. The Phone is very fast we downloaded Speed Test from Exreme Labs, I kid you not, "Blink" and it was done, I thought initially we had a disconnect, but not so. I have a concern, we ran Speed Test about 8 times and averaged 1.35 mbps Download and 1.38 mbps Upload??
How can that be? is it possible that there is a problem, I have also heard wide spread complaints of similar slow speeds.
I was curious to see, "could it be a set of "Bad Circumstances" One of the Other Sales Reps had a New IPhone4 and was kind enought to download Speed Test- We ran it, and had a Huge Difference- The IPhone was showing very fast speeds Download and so,so upload, via Extreme Labs Speed Test-
As I played with the Atrix, I went to different sites and dowloaded varied items, You Tube, Web Sites in the Middle East that are very labor intensive sites, Atrix FLEW through this stuff- The Atrix Raptor Fighter Jet Type Performance cast a big shadow of "Doubt as to whether the results were accurate", can anyone Help Please!
Thank you

I bet the sales rep had their Atrix on WiFi or they managed to get their phone updated/ provisioned properly to enable HSUPA.

can you explain your comments a little better, yes the phone was on wifi

The speed issues aren't about wifi speeds.
1. Pop that iPhone and the Atrix back on AT&T's network and run those speed tests again.
2. Watch the iPhone 4's upload speeds quadruple the Atrix.
3. Stare at the AT&T salesperson trying to sell you the phone and ask "Where the hell is your 4G now?"

sounds like the Atrix guy was using a relatively slow wifi connection and the iPhone guy might have been using 3G wireless
also, I've found my iphone 4 to be pretty susceptible to interference on the 2.4ghz band with wifi
Just ran a back to back with my atrix and iphone 4 on my home wifi. atrix on 5ghz and the iphone on 2.4ghz
atrix - 18169 Kbp/s down 8838 Kbp/s up
iphone 4 - 9814 Kbp/s down 2816 Kbp/s up
atrix over regular wireless 3232 Kbp/s down 336 Kbp/s up
