Hey all,
I was using the SpeedTest.Net app and was having some fun with it, testing my download / upload speeds in different areas. So I thought to myself "Self, wouldn't it be fun to see who can get the highest numbers?" And I responded "Yes, it would!"
Just for fun, to see what kind of rates of download and upload people are getting in different parts of the country. Post up a screenshot if you can, for those of us who can't yet (not rooted yet, can't find a free app that will take a screenshot of an unrooted phone) it's all based on honor system, which shouldn't be hard to do since it's all for fun and no real awards given (except bragging rights in this thread, ha!)
Here's mine:
At home (Norwich, CT)
ping 82ms
download 34.7k
upload 10.7k
Good numbers I think, yes?
FYI - taking screen shots is a native feature of ICS. Just hit volume down and power button at the same time.

I'll play along ...

I thought part of the game was saying what part of the country you're from?
Ah, right right. My mistake. Eastern CT (the above screenshot is from my home in Norwich, I'll get a work screenshot later today).
How come do you get such nice transfer. I am in Glastonbury and I got 25 Mb/s max (usually it is between 10-12)
Sent via Droid Razr Maxx HD
I think it has to do with how close you are to the nearest 4G tower you're getting a signal from. I'm very close to a stone's throw from the tower, and my home is at the top of a small mountain with nothing in the way to block me from getting a signal out of the sky in any direction.
I tried the speedtest last night at the bottom of the hill and had numbers of 148ms ping, 6.66mbps, and 2.98mbps. It's an area that's known to have connectivity issues (glad I live at the top!) and about a mile or two from where I live.
At work in Wallingford (sorry, forgot to post) I had similar numbers to what you got.
Might it also have to do with "traffic" on the 4G cell tower as well?

Closer to the tower I was under 8mb.... In other places in town I have gotten consistent 6mb+
Of course at my house (about 2mi from the tower that gave me 9mb) I get nothing..... but it's not too far away
Damn, wish had 4G here. To bad that won't be until like 2025 considering there isn't 3G at my house.

These worked REALLY well.
i can pull 6mbs up north of the river sometimes even 8-9
Yeah I was over in Independence (KC Area) one day sitting in a parking lot and I was getting 6's and 7's down. But I my house I barely get a regular Sprint signal.
Damn - no luck. Guess I'll just have to wait until the signal is stronger down this far south.
Thanks for the help guys!
Actually, i went about 1/2 mile north this afternoon and got 4g indoors for the first time ever! And full bars to boot! Thanks for the help guys!

got this standing in a drive way in Olathe
At my work in O.P. - Indoors - just recently we are getting 8-9 - I even hit 10 once...
when i first got the EVO we were only getting 3-4 indoors or anywhere for that matter
-
FTR I can only get 4g Indoors in my house on the top floor next to a window..
let me know if there is a KC EVO meet up
Not in KC, but still in Missouri here. In STL I've hit 9.5Mbps max down, with an average around 7.5Mbps.
Too bad I have to drive north 60 miles to pick it up
Oh well, I'll have it eventually, I'm in a (relatively) good sized market to Sprint, and I'm in a bubble of 3G thats ~30 miles wide that theres nothing on either side of but north to STL. I'll get it before some people but not early.

You can tell which is standard wifi. But the 3g/4g/h+ is standard for me in Portland Oregon for my speedy tests. I would show you sperdtest app but it connects me to whichitaw or another state very far away and is idly never even close to being consistent.

Well a speed test won't always be too accurate. Speed is dependent on traffic and the server being used so the speed seen on a speed test is ideal conditions

Is it my imagination or are speeds improving as more power users abandon the Evo for non-Wimax devices?
I'm now getting 8 megs in a place where I was barely able to connect a year ago.
(Network Vision rollout probably has something to do with this, I know, but I still believe it has to do with fewer users overall..)
And my best reception area has improved from 8 to over 10.
sub-80ms ping times don't hurt either..

Actually, you're right to mention the flip side of improved 4G: rapidly deteriorating 3G. Maybe a lot of Evo LTE power users are saturating their local 3G networks waiting for Sprint to light up LTE in their areas. Cause around here at least it's just getting ridiculous. See screen shot - can you guess which speeds are 4G and which ones are 3G?

Good reception at work, no reception at home (thank god for my airave), bad speeds everywhere. Vision is supposed to be live shortly, we'll see if that makes any difference.

I guess so...it just isn't consistent with those speeds. One test rendered 10mbps and the very next was 5. 5 has always been the average here in Nashville, Tennessee.
I live in the heart of my city and its suppose to have 4g, I don't get it at home. If I travel 11 miles to work in the burbs I get 4g.
I haven't noticed wimax speeds increase but I have seen 3g get a boost. Hopefully that means wimax is next as lte is getting setup.
