Is my at&t data slow?

I have never been over 1.5mbps download on the nexus. I am in an unsaturated and smaller market it seems. (cant be for certain, charleston sc)
Is this speed normal? I thought I remembered seeing my friends droid on verizon get over 3 mbps. (although it was tethered to my computer)
sorry if this seems like a redundant question. I just want to know whether i should be worried given the radio issues with the tmobile version. I am reluctant to root it if I need to send it back.
If anyone can shed light on their experience with at&t 3g speeds that would be awesome.
cheers
gary
p.s. I used xtreme labs and speedtest.net apps. tonight i am getting .5 mbps. YUCK!

1.5 mbps seems to be OK, I dont know what they quote 3g at from AT&T (when I worked there they said it was 768kbps, but that was when 3g was first launched). In Tulsa I did 3.7 down, 1.3 up. Saturation and backhaul I imagine are the key factors.

Best I've gotten in Cincinnati is this:
speedtest.net/android/1860842.png
Kinda sad isn't it...? I usually float around .4-.5 down. This is even when I get kicked up to hsdpa. I hope Cincinnati gets gets better speeds this year.

Thats about what i get when im traveling through large cities on 3g but where i live there is no 3g only edge and im lucky if i get 40-50 kbps lol

T-Mobile is working to bring more backhaul and much better speeds to most of their 3G markets this year...you should definitely see an improvement soon.

I just did a test and best I got was 1363. That's on at&t in DFW.

Just hit 3Mbps

for the first time since ive had sprint im getting the speed they've always claimed but ive never reached...im just wondering if anyone in and around pearland can tell me if they have similar speeds....i just know this isnt going to last but still a bit excited my 3g has never reached 3 or even crept past 1

I got 9 down in beverly hills yesterday with 4G, that was cool.

lol im so excited because well i have never seen 3Mbps on 3g on sprint, ive gotten 889kbps at most, i now this wont hold up for very long because if it could my 3g here wouldnt be so shoddy...this whole town is saturated in 4g and i cant get it on my evo for more then a min before losing it and my neighbor who has a franklin 4g stick gets 2bars and 500kbps on 4g...its ridiculous

I used to get 3 mbs down speed at the beginning of last year in the St. Louis area in 3g but its slower now but 4g is about 4.95 down now.

The speed test app isn't very accurate, download xtreme labs test app, its a bit more accurate, speakeasy website I think is better then speedtest.net and just like I figured my 3Mbps over 3g is back down to 600kbps

Best I ever got on 3G was about 2.6mbps. Got a little over 7 on 4G the other day in downtown Houston. Those 10+ speeds are awesome.

HOLY CRAPO!

Is that with 4G full bars?? thats bad, i get that with 3G in philadelphia, in center city I reached 9mbs early in the morning, then I average 4mbs-7mbs in 4G!!

The 3g in my area always runs at 1.5 to 2.3 but its a small town with not many sprint users.... Sadly I'll probably never see 4g

damn im lucky when i hit 1 Mbit/sec!

I can't wait until Lubbock gets 4G or I get to go back home to MD.

[Q] What 3G speeds are you getting? Is this normal?

My girl just got a D2G at my suggestions (since she's on verizon and NEEDED a keyboard and didn't really like the Merge).
I have run her 3G speed test a few times outside and she can't even get to 1mbps? That doesn't seem right to me. I'm on t-mobile '4g' and getting a minimum of 3mbps (up to 6mpbs), and while that's at the low end of '4g' it's trouncing her speeds. I thought 3g speeds were better than that, and I expected her to get 3mpbs on the high end and 1.5mbps on the low end.
We live in Albany, the capital city of NY... and have 3g coverage from all major carriers.
Anybody getting better speeds?

Yes, she turned her phone into a vagina.

Here in the big city of Topeka,KS I usually get around 1.5 mbps with my D2. Just ran a speed test on the iphone I tote around for work and it was a blazing 0.55 mbps.

Here in Central NJ I usually just leave it on wireless, but I just checked 3G speed and got a disappointing 0.87Mbps.
I'll be turning wireless back on now. Ah.. much better!

Ive got speeds of 1.5mb to 3.5

In in the cap city better known as Albany too and get good speeds over what you recorded either......might be something to let vzw know or try switching towers, might help.

You could say that it's suzuki turbo hayabusa fast.
Fastest I've gotten was around 12 so I'd say just wow.

22 Mb/s INSIDE your house is insane, congrats for being in the sickest 4G hot spot

Dang in south florida the fastest I go was 3.5 4g got here like a month ago so maby they are still doing updates t the network

What are you using to tether??

I wasn't using teather I used the speed test app

Thanks all. I'm usung the sprint mobile ap. 30$ month
I have sustained over a true MB transfer speed of 1300KBps
I couldn't take a screen shot because of what I was downloading hehe
I will get a video made up soon to show it in action

What firewall application are you using on your pc. Its not kaspersky by any chance is it? Some firewall apps scan and cache your internet data thus messing with speedtests.

Why pay 30 when u could root and use wifi teather. Is I faster that way?

General 3G speeds

I am a bit curious as to what 3G speeds you guys and gals are getting on a normal basis.
I usually get around 2 mbps down and 1 mbps up, and I live in the outskirts of orlando. For some reason, it's actually faster here than in the middle of the city.

Usually where I am, at full signal strength I get about 1.7mb. I've never reached 2mb

I'm lucky to get 1mbps down and 1.2 up.....but i'm also in the middle of a frickin field

around 1mb down and 700kb up.
Same place with ATT on my iPhone I was getting 2.5mb down and 400kb up.
Doesn't seem any slower though *shrug*

Same here. I am in east Tennessee.

I work for USCC and typically when I have done tests on our wireless card and different phones in store around 1.5mb down and somewhere around 600kb up. I don't have a clue on my fascinate since I just use it on wifi and as a music player/camera/camcorder.

I get about 500kbps down and 700 up. It angers me very much how slow it is. Every other phone I've tested gets at LEAST 1.2Mbps up.

Are all of these speed tests listed here running on 3g or mixed bag w/wifi? I know the title asks for 3g speeds, but 2 mb looks like wifi to me. Not disputing, just clarification/confirmation.

Heres about what i usually get at home on 3g.

Nice...very impressive on 3g late afternoon

Currently fixing my broken EC01 modem, so can't do any testing now. Here's one from a week ago though
