I am curious to find out what other peoples speeds are. Mine is 956 up and 786 down. I used the speed app with the blue speedometer from Ookla that runs on speedtest.net
Using the "Speed Test" app, my speeds vary of course but typically are between 1200 and 1800 kbps download, and between 640 and 700 kbps upload.
1184 Down (spiking to 1350)
680 Up (spiking to 800+)

My Evdo speeds are just as fast as my wifi speeds usually 1200-1800 and 700-800. No clue why my wifi is so damn slow.
Depends on where i'm at. At home they range from 800-1300 up and 500-700 down. At Work i've gone as fast as 2400 up and 800 down. Location and weather seem to have a big effect on speeds.

same here. I was thinking the phone couldn't handle my high internet speeds.
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.
*Please forgive my noobness*
The Focus is my first smartphone. I live in Columbus, OH. I have the $30 unlimited data for smartphones. I talked AT&T into reverse grandfathering me into the unlimited plan.
I had major issues two days ago trying to stream music from Last.FM. It wouldn't, I had 4 bars 3G. I used the free speed test app. The very best Ive seen on it was a peek of 107kbps with a 68kbps average being the best I've seen. A low ping of average of 639. most of the time I see 12-20kbps. So I call AT&T 611 customer service. After waiting on hold for about 3 minutes my rep cam back and told me the average data speed is 19kbps for data nationwide... . Their web site states speeds ranging from 2Mbps-7.2Mbps.
So all numbers aside, my coworkers on Verizon and T-Mobile are opening web sites on there phones sometimes 10-15 seconds faster then me. I read people stating speeds in the 2MBps-5MBps range.
Is this an AT&T thing, or a Focus thing? I live in a pretty high tech/low population city compared to other major cities in the country. I do live a few miles away from The Ohio State University, and its 55,000 undergrads. But even at work, or on the freeway, my speeds stay really slow. I know I'm spoiled with my 35MB per-second home connection speeds, but I really though mobile data would be faster then dial up.
Can you guys please share your speeds and advise with me. Much thanks in advance!!
I'd start off by first understanding that 2Mbps - 7.2Mbps is way different than the value you're stating of 2MBps - 7.2MBps.
There is NO way, to my knowledge, that the 3G networks of AT&T or Verizon supports up to 7.2MBps. And I've yet to experience even 7.2Mbps myself.
What are you using to test? If you're using the one and only Speed Tester in the WP7 Marketplace, I've heard it tends to output low speeds.
I get about 28-58KBps, which is pretty much suck. But I don't really get much better with Verizon where I am at the moment, either.
By the way, in general, Samsung's have this unwritten reputation for having shoddy radio baseband software or even hardware. I have witnessed this firsthand on all my Samsung phones.
Both my Samsung Focus and Samsung Fascinate average lower data throughput both on mobile broadband and WiFi than my HTC Incredible or my Blackberry. No idea why, for sure.
I would not base my speed on the app provided in the marketplace. I would more likely base it on web browsing and check out a 1 MB download on http://www.mobilespeedtest.com
This site yields accurate latency at the top of the screen after test and i think this site yields a better network speed test.
Update you might want to try 3-5mb tests just because they are yielding faster speeds almost reaching 4g speeds...average 2232kbps

Nice site. This seems much more accurate.
I called an AT&T store, asking them what to expect. They guy did tell me he went to seminar and got a Focus for free, he has a Blackberry Torch too. He said in every way he has tested it the Focus "crushes" the Blackberry. Anyway, he asked what phones I had before, (LG Xenon, Krazor, Razor) he told me to come in to the store, that they wanted to give me a new Sim card free of charge. He said he was 75% sure my speed would increase. He stated that my Sim Card being ~4 years old is probably affecting how the network sees my phone. So I'm going up there in the morning, then will retest to see if there are any changes.

Your sim is definately affecting your phone speed...I would put $100 on it. I am yielding speeds such as these.
100kb - 560kbps
500kb - 960kbps
1Mb - 1440kbps
Wifi speed is dependent on what wifi you are pulling from.

Also try http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest (choose the mobile test.) Good latency test there, too.
I've actually been pretty pleased when compared to an iPhone 4. AT&T is poor where I live and the iPhone cannot hold a call longer than 5 minutes. I kept an old Fuze around for those times I knew the call would go more than a couple minutes. So far the Focus hasn't dropped a call and data is noticably faster than what the iPhone pulls. I haven't done a ton of tests over several days but a few tests with the same sim card (using an adapter in the Focus) had the iPhone pulling around 260 kbps while the Focus was pulling a little over 400 kbps (1MB test). Yes, seriously. I wouldn't mind seeing some numbers from the Kissimmee area where the iPhone 4 flat out screamed.

4. 422 kbps latency average ~339ms
5. 92 kbps latency average ~362
WiFi test results: Speed is about double reported average, but latency is 7x the average! (is the latency so high being caused by security on wireless router? I'm sitting 3 feet from it)

4531
5161 all on 3g in the pinellas county fl area
all 4 were in a row did a test... waited a min or 2 did a test... not bad.. i used to get speeds close to this on my samsung O2 custom rom...bloatware removed... not a bad phone so far... also was done with 3 bars in a house....

My results had WiFi with a lot higher latency as well, but only not as bad as yours. 3G latency was around 300ms. WiFi with wireless N was around 1100ms. Big jump.

So far the data speeds are not stellar for me. My iphone 4 blows it away currently. I want to like the phone but i want speed.
Just got my new SIM card. I'm most pleased with the effects. 1st the " robotic voice " friends and family reported at times is gone. Very obvious real world results. Netflix quality, and streaming music from Last.FM, download music from Zune all have a dramatic increase in performance.
Here are the mobilespeedtest.com results:

*Note* mobilespeedtest.com offered me 2MB,3MB,5MB,7MB test this time, just like it did when testing WiFi.
3G, two bars
1500 down, 450 up. Let me add that this test was done while in a small, remote town and not a big city.
I'm seeing about 3 mbps down but about 350 up. I hope HSUPA is enabled on this phone.
What test are you guys using that gives up speeds?
www.dslreports.com/speedtest
Ive tried both the 'iphone' and 'simple' mobile speed test. Nethier give me upload speeds, just down and latency. The java and flash test don't work on my Focus.
Am I missing something?

The advantages of a singular standardized design ..... superior optimization!!!!
blows away is very subjective, tell us what your getting?

Was tethering at the time
I just seen a vid of someone speed test for the slide and there score was over 4kbps download I have the latest cm7 nightly I only gets about 1 kbps. What are your scores with the rom u are usin. I also get about 1070 on quadrant.
wait.. kbps or mbps? cuz 4kbps is pretty... um... terrible.
I can get well over 4mbps (around 4.5 to almost 5mbps) down when I'm in Houston. but in Pittsburgh, I get somewhere from 1.2mbps to 2.5mbps.
Quadrant is around what you have as well.
I get between 2 and 3 Mbps pretty consistent in the burbs of Seattle. Most of the time even faster up to 5.5 is the fastest I had.
I get 1.5 mbps at home but in the street I can get up to 5.5 mbps I think it depends of the towers of tmobile
LA
Around Orange County, CA I almost always get between 1-2 Mbps down and like 0.2-0.7 up. However, one day I was sitting in the LAX cell phone parking lot and I ran a test that showed 7 Mbit down and 2 up. I've read claims of people getting that in downtown Anaheim but I have never seen anything like that anywhere else.
Using CM7 and the newest radio, I average between 4-5 downloading in Milwaukee. I have seen as high as 6.25 and around 2.5 as a low.
I am using CM7 7.0.3...Radio 7.15.35.16
Long Island .. used speedtest.net(ookla) app and got
6.98Mbps DL and 1.26Mbps UL
I ran it again and this time I got
9.40Mbps DL and 1.27Mbps UL
Out of 10 tests.. it ranged from 6.98 - 9.40
i typically see anywhere from 3mb to almost 6 or 8 mb an i live in alabama (depends on location)
so I just upgraded my internet service today and I started running tests with speedtest.net with the expectation to see slightly faster speeds in the range of 7-15 Mbps. Boy was I wrong! I'm getting between 20-30 down, averaging around 25.
Now, I decide to test my phone, same wifi and speed test.net app and I barely even see a change in speeds, why is that? I was getting around 4.5 down average. I had one test jump to 6.8 and averaged 5 with the inter net upgrade.
I don't get it?
