Speedtest

Oof.. I feel like my 3G service in this area is royally boned compared to the results others are getting. Granted, I'm not in a major city, but I always thought we had generally good coverage. Apparently it's either very saturated or far from a major hub, because...

Rochester, NY
DOWN: 388 kbps
UP: 361 KBPS

My download speed is almost slower than my upload. Strange, too, because everything seems to load relatively quickly. I'm not sure why the actual test results would indicate that it is so slow.
 
Those of you with scores in the 300s, you may not be on the EVDO-Rev A. network, but on the older, Rev 0 standard.

You can check by entering Settings, About Phone, and Status.

I'm in a similar situation. 569 down/ 655 up...
 
Ok, so I solved my own problem. My low speed was due to being at work. I think I had a lousy connection even though I was getting 3G. When I tried it again at home with 4 bars I got:

DOWN: 1203 kbps
UP: 665 kbps
 
That's more like it, I was gonna say in Rochester you should definitely have Rev A, I was just in Henrietta and I had it. Heck even my little town here in Mass has Rev A.
 
6081 / 1022 wifi
1962 / 769 3g

Get outta here with that Hero :D

Hehe, jk jk.

The ping is going to be high, because of the nature of wireless. By the way, you have 3G on that Hero, no 4G for you!

I just reran this test.

1636/698 @109 ms. Pretty nice for a town of 120k.
 
I have gotten as high as 2.50 MBPS down and 0.93 MBPS up, on average I get just under 2MBPS which for a town of under 15k is freakin' sweet. With AT&T I only got stinky EDGE and that would net be around 160kbps DL 115kbps UL, and they have no plans of every getting 3G out here. So glad I went back to VZW.
 
I'm currently located in Southern NJ about 10 minutes outside Philadelphia. I did the test ten times in different rooms throughout my house. The server I am on is located in Philadelphia and is hosted by Comcast. after doing the math, here is the average result.


1334/dl
537/ul

Not awful... Cool thing however, is I'm going on a road trip today for work up to Boston, so I'll try and take some reading along the trip each time I hit a new server. I'll be back Sunday to post my results, or if I'm feeling bored in the hotel room, I'll do it from the Droid :D

You know you can go into settings and choose different servers? I dunno if the distance will play a big part in the results but I live in western MA and I get better results using a server in seabiscuis NJ then I do with the one in Boston/Manchester, NH.
 
Got a question for you guys...

my wifi at home
2,100 down 700 up

3G at home
787 down 350 up


So comparing these numbers I should definately be using my wifi while at home, however in normal browsing of the internet, it seems to me that 3G is noticeably faster in loading pages when comparing the two.

Anyone know why this might be?
 
anyone else having problems changing servers to something near you. i don't have the option to choose a sever anywhere near my state. only on WIFI can i choose servers in WA.

even still testing to kansas i got 1.8 down and 700k up
my iphone roomate was blown away at my speeds as they smash his 3gs.
nations fastest 3g network is that what there comercials say?
