beebplayer faster on 3G than wifi

I've been playing with the beebplayer which works great over a 3G connection.
However, when I switch to wifi it goes all blocky and stuttery (made up word).
My wifi signal is great and my broadband speed is 5.5Mbps. Using the xtremelabs speedtester app I am getting at 4.6Mbps transfer rate. My 3G is about 1.5Mbps.
Can anyone else test their N1 to confirm, please?

Mine don't work on 3G for some reason.
But on Wifi its a little bit blocky and does stutter a bit but watchable.
Hopefully the BBC hurry up and get a proper Android App sorted out so the quality is on par with the iPhone site/quality!

Sorry to say but both modes are working fine for me.

redmongoose, can you tell me what your download speed on wifi is please?

Sorry for the slow reply - 8253.9 kbits/s for my wifi

I think it uses a higher bit rate over wifi, so the fact you have a faster connection on wifi doesn't necessarily mean it's fast enough.

At the bottom of the synopsis on each program beebplayer gives some figures. This is what it says for Topgear
(wifi:84MB, 3G: 49MB)
And this is what it says for Eastenders.
(wifi:42MB, 3G: 24MB)
Assuming these figures are the size (in megabytes) of each program then it appears the 3G versions are roughly half the size - therefore half the bitrate.
Seeing as my laptop over the same wifi connection can play the higher bitrate version perfectly then I don't see how it can be the connection that is the problem. So it must be something to do with the phone's ability to play the program. It can play the 3G version ok but can't play the wifi version.
Any ideas?

wifi speed @811.g just 39Kb/s

/edit: topic must be: 802.11.g
hi there,
got my HD2 (stock vodafone rom) on friday and until now i am very statisfied, everything set up to my needs etc.
Today i wanted to stream videos from my win7-pc to the HD2. Installed TCPMP and Resco Explorer. Everything works fine except for the buffer-lags. i experimented with the buffer settings A LOT but nothing worked out. then i wanted to copy a movie to my HD2 and realized the speed in Resco: 39.2 Kb/s (no typo)
Copying to phone memory or SD-Card is the same.
My router (Fritzbox 7170) tells me that my HD2 is connected with 54MBit/s.
I even installed the 802.11.n CAB though my router doesnt support this speed. didnt work out either.
any help plz?
excuse my english - im from europe.
Thanks in advance

/EDIT: problem solved. wifi energy plan was set to battery life... works with 700+Kb/s set to performance.
keep up the good work in here

No wonder!
Gah!! I thought my hd2 wifi router was doomed to be slow at no more than 40kb/sec ! I thought i over heated it up and caused it to be permanently slow. I went nuts jumping from rom to rom, radio to radio hoping to get the full internet speed,...until you post showed up! (No, 'Search' didnt help me out much this time, had to browse through 26 pages of irrelevant post)
Now im gonna try to "Best performance" and see if it makes any difference.

Right Sorry for posting here but I can not make a Thread :S
Ok I tested my HD2 on a few speed test sites and then tested on the same site my laptop.
right on
broadbandspeedchecker.co.uk
Laptop: 15000 kbps Download
720 kbps Upload
HD2 Apparently: 20000 kbps Download
AND 40000 kbps Upload (WTF)
and then I was like ok lets try another site
broadband.talktalk.co.uk/products/broadband-guide/broadband-speed-test
Laptop: 16000 kbps Download
720 kbps Upload
HD2: 22000 kbps Download
44000 kbps Upload
Right, why does my phone get such a massive upload ? or is this some sort of a bug or false reading
P.S.
The HD2 is connected to the same WiFi as the laptop as well as the 3G.

"The Internet transfer/download speed of my laptop via 3g ith my hd2 as the wifi router " = 40kb/sec, which is Junk, btw.
"The Internet transfer/download speed of my laptop with my 3g usb modem" = 300 - 600kb/sec which is the speed I wished my connection was, via the same 3g connection but using the hd2 as the wifi. And I hope that changing the "Power mode" of the hd2 wifi to "Best performance" (thanks for the OP for pointing it out) , i could reach the speeds as my 3b usb modem. Gonna do a bit of testing 1st...
================
Rom - Miri dinik v17.0
radio - 2.11.50.20

I get about the same download with wifi and 3G. Normal? EDIT: Turning it to Performance mode tripled my speed via WiFi.
Munto: What browser on the HD2 are you using?

I'm using Skyfire
Yeh just tested with opera 10 and now the speeds are close the the PC's results.
I guess Skyfire is full of BS.

Ah, Skyfire (and Opera Mini 5) uses server-side rendering so you won't get an accurate result. Skyfire's server downloads the pages, applies compression magic, and sends it to you, so the result is skewed by their probably ultra-fast servers. I think Opera 9.7 works the best for speed tests.

[Q] Internet speed

I have a simple question. What can cause my gprs/edge speed to decrease?
I have flashed fresh se rom.
No apps installed except speedtest.net
Last month i've also had been using gprs, speed was ok. I didn't checked, but surfing was fine.
Now, speedtest.net says that my gprs download speed is 0,7kB/s and upload is 2,3kB/s ping 999m/s. And sometimes speedtest app says that my upload speed is ~90kB/s
We've compared same operator,same internet, at the same place but with two different phones 6700 and x8. And yes, 6700 was ok.

Performance lower with a 3G connection active??

Hi,
Has anyone observed lower overall perfomance of the tab while 3G connection is active? I was supprised to notice that flash videos start to stutter on a 3g connection while they play perfectly smooth when I am on the WiFi. Also the workspaces scrolling is not as smooth as on the WiFi. In case of Flash videos on the web it's not an issue of slower buffering because I wait until it's buffered. Also at home I share a 3G connection from the same operator over a WIFI network (a 3G modem is plugged into a TP-Link WiFi router) so the speeds are exactly the same.
Has anyone experienced anything like that?
My tablet is an European 3G-enabled Galaxy Tab 10.1 White with 16GB of storage.

Slow download speed on Playstore

My internet connection speed is around 10 MBPS and and I am downloading applications from play store I will get around 5 mbps speed
Other services like YouTube hotstar works fine
I am using wifi
