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.

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.
Anyone have any ideas why my pdanet on my epic 4g is getting super slow connections? I get maybe 0.70 mbps down and 0.50 mbps up. i know it should be getting better speeds then that.
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.

I have been using Official GorillaPhone-MIUI-DHD-MT4G-v.1.1.26.1 FFC for a few days now. I decided to test my download speed on this rom. The best speed I have gotten so far is 8.12 mbps dl/1.77 mbps ul. I average about 7 mbps dl. With the stock rom and ICE GLACIER Version 1.1.6 I averaged about 5 mbps dl and topped out at 6 mbps dl (checked around same time of day for all roms). Now, I'm wondering which rom has the best performance as far as dl/ul speeds?
