how fast is your 3g??

I currently live in los angeles but on g1 I average about 600kbps. But before the update I averaged about 800-900kbps. Maybe its just a radio issue/

This is from Niagara Falls Canada on the Rogers network

I'm in markham Ontario Canada. In a building with 2 bars signal on the Fido Network.
Thanks for the test link AC!

How accurate is that site? It says I have 13,128kbps on edge xD

wow i wish i could get that speed
edit: just ran the test twice and got 6.01Mbps and 7.41Mbps(i'm on EDGE) i think it lies

are you sure you're reading it right? if so...JEALOUS.

Yeah I think its something up with the site, ran again now I have 8969 kbps which is still way off for edge

It's pointless to fine-grain compare bandwidth test results of an internet connection with a shared interface (in this case the 2G/3G air interface) since the amount of load on the interface is changing constantly. At best you could use your speed test to get in the ballpark (i.e. to confirm you are really on HSDPA) but to say 'my radio dropped my download speed from 800Kb/s to 600Kb/s' is probably erroneous because a difference of 200Kb/s is definitely well within the variation of an air interface. Unless of course you conduct a controlled experiment with both radios with many data points and you can actually draw a distinct correlation.
Edit: By the way a somewhat more accurate bandwidth test is here:
http://i.dslr.net/tinyspeedtest.html

Atleast most of you have the 3g network. Here in my area of CT we only have the Edge network. I wonder what's taking tmobile so long to make it available in my area.

I generally get 400-600kbps on good 3G signal.

You're being measured by kiloBITs per second, not kiloBYTEs

Speed test is wrong
the way the cellular internet works: all data in all networks are sent in packets of information. if you run a longer test then you will get a more accurate reading. mine said 572kb/s

Not wrong, but not accurate.
There is no accurate way of testing, as there is no constant speed.
Somedays you might get a really high measure on speed test, while you might get a low speed that is unheard of on other days.
So I mostly agree with you xDDD

b=bit B=byte, just so you know.
One should also keep in mind that bandwidth tests usually only test the speed of a single connection. As anyone who has used a multi-part download manager knows, you can usually get a higher overall throughput with multiple connections going. This seems especially the case with UMTS networks, where carriers probably throttle down individual connections to try ensuring that each user gets a fair slice of the pie.
I notice that I get the fastest speeds on my 3G when I am downloading usenet files (10 concurrent connections, each connection only downloading a few hundred kb at a time). While I might max my single connection download speed at 400 Kb/sec (50KByte/sec), I can usually get about 1.5MBit/sec when running multiple connections to a fast server. It's not the 3.6MBit/sec advertised, but not bad either.

This CAN NOT be real. you can't even get 10% of that speed on EDGE.

4G speeds?

Here is the story: http://www.androidspin.com/2010/03/17/its-twoo-its-twoo-4g-speed-is-a-reality/
Is it possible to develop and get us rooted users on 4G? I am a little uncertain of what the article is assuming.

i dont believe it but if its true... WOW

Yeah, Im not sure what a developer could do, to piggy back these speeds.

Hmmm.
1.3mbps on 4G? That's it? And which 4G? You mean Sprint's WiMAX? Or someone else's 4G network that has not been built yet?
I'm calling it. Shenanigans.

I am uncertain as well and those sure don't look like 4G speeds to me. However, I think there are hardware limitations that will prevent the N1 or any current phone from taking advantage of 4G. I don't believe it is equipped with the proper antenna and therefore maxed out at 7.2mbps

Interestin, thou by looking at dl speeds its not uncommon for me(I'm in Seattle) to get 1.5-2mb dl speeds, which is significantly faster then my DSL at home: )

Yes but that's on 3G. 4G brings theoretical speeds up to 21mbps

I figured as much, and call it shenanigans aswell....thou i must say 21mb speeds on my n1would be awesome:drool: blah id settle for 5-7mb

No, 21 Mb/s is still considered 3G,or 3.75G.

Misuse of terms for standards makes unicorns cry.

i'm in Dallas and i'm getting stellar download speeds on T-Mo 3G, but uploads are a different story (see below). with 4G, would we see higher upload speeds as well???

There is no 4G on T-Mobile, not for a while, and our phones don't do 4G.

I'm not sure I would call 21mbps 4g (whatever that's supposed to mean). Here in Norway there is already a company that has a working LTE-network up and running (although only in the capital) and that has a theoretical top speed of 100mbps. Think the net is limited to 50mbps atm, but I've yet to meet anyone that has bought a modem (no, it's not compatible with current phones).

3g speeds

what kind of 3g speeds are you guys getting.... i'm only averaging about 350-400 kbps here in hawaii on stock rom.

We're lucky where I live...mobile speed test says: 4325kb/s...not the worst ever...lolol...and I get about that when I speed test while tethered...

I only get 700-800kbps the couple times I tested mine.

What speed test utility do you use when you're tethered? mobilespeedtest.com is known to give wildly inaccurate (sometimes even impossible) results..

Hello Everyone,
I find if I use Opera Browser for www.mobilespeedtest.com I get realistic results.
If I use IE browser, I get some very unrealistic results.
Also, Read My Thread Here, I think we are being throttled but T-Mobile's network limiting the RWIN.
Even run the TCP/IP Analyzer yourself.
Thank you,
Monnie

700-800kbps pretty much always (but i'm in the middle of nowhere so I'm not surprised)

230 kbps in dallas TX. Every time i call them they say there's a outage i sip code blah blah blah. When i tell them im no using those towers they say well its the entire city....And there script is "we don't guarantee high speed internet as long as your able to connect" On my Nexus one i got 500kbs all the time...I don't know what to say but lease sprint hurry with EVO

600-700 kpbs depending where I'm at

HA you guys are all lucky im in CT and get 200kbs and max of like 230 lmao! horrible!

I have never got it that fast in a mobile in Brazil before, very pleased.
Connected to PC as modem, I get from 1000 to 4500, but this is a problem from TIM, I don't know why but they cannot limit my connection when connected to PC, normally it should be limited at 1Mbit for my plan.

mine is waaaaaay faster at night than it is during the daytime. like 10x faster. in the daytime i linger around 100-200k at night i am upwards of 1200k

Sam here in fairfield county, CT. Im getting 126kbps in opera mobile...even though I have an 'H' icon on the task bar! PIE gives me unrealistic results, which never translates into real world usage speeds. im gonna be so jealous when the Evo 4G drops for sprint. Ive always gotten upwards of 2 or 3MB in my area with sprint's 3G service. I love my HD2, but tmobile's crappy, unstable data speeds, kinda brings down the excitement a few notices.

Is anyone trying to use the hd2 w/ the flex pay internet plan?
I'm paying $10 a month for unlimited internet. It worked fine on my unlocked iphone 3gs.

Ok cool, thanks...I just thought you were saying you had used speedtest.net, and I just cringe whenever I hear anybody referring to test results from there. Sometimes they're spot on, but sometimes they're flat out rediculous, and the results are all over the place...enough so for me to not be willing to guess which ones can be believed and which can't

Speed Test results

just downloaded the speedtest.net app and my "H" speed is really slow. With no wifi, I get download speed of 219kbps and upload of 473 kbps.
Anyone know why? is is with my signal with H and full bars.

What type of latency are you seeing?
I only ask this because at night around 10pm or so, I notice I get speedtest results like this but my latency reads around 275ms. It doesn't recover until about 7 am.
I am in the NW suburbs of Chicago.
An interesting note, other speed test sites do not seem to reflect this slowdown so I am inclined to think that my problem is related to the speedtest app and not the connection. IDK..

I am in Detroit and I get crappy speeds too. I found out that even though it says "H" in the mortification area, it still could be 3g or even the old edge for data.
I called tmo about this last week, and the response I got was HSPA is not official in your area yet. This could be the same for you as well. Let me know what you find out.

I'm not 100% sure if HSPA+ has hit my area yet (Phoenix), it's been a while since I last checked. I don't seem to be having any speed troubles like you have stated. My best score so far is 4162 down, 599 up. Consistency is my only problem. I average anywhere between 2000 and 4000 kbps depending on my area.

Depending on what app you use I guess and location. I'm in Houston and I use mobilespeedtest.com app.
I can get most of the time 23000-26000+ Kbps and on occasion 36000+ Kbps which is blazing fast I use the 7mb test.

"mobile signal widget" will tell you what you're actually connected to, E, 3g or H.

The mobilespeedtest.com app gives out wrong speeds. You can't get those kinds of speeds with this phone. Literally, it can't support that over UMTS. Speedtest.net APP will give you legit speeds.

Most of the time when i run speedtest i pulled a steady 4.5 mbps to 5mbps and some times when i just turn the phone on i can get 6.2 mbps down but w.e i do i always get a constant 1.25 to 1.3mbps up

Sorry no I did not add any extra zeros. Whether the app is correct or not I can't comment on that.
Out of curiosity what do others get with this same app? There is a obvious difference in that the mobilespeedtest app is in kbps vs the other test is in Mbps.
I also think the fact that the size of the file downloaded could have an impact on the results.

Thought this may be helpfull as i have been reading people are contacting important people and sending emails to them saying that this issue isnt hardware or a given area issue. There are multiple threads with numerous reportings everywhere, so how bout we just put in one thread peoples where abouts. I guess just copy and past and continue with your city, state, zip code to show it is a nation wide issue. Please try to include an image LINK for proof of your issues...example is below.

actually what you have there is kilobits per second, not kilobytes. Take your number and divide by 8 and that will be the number of kilobytes you are getting.
