yeah its something im not too worried about but why the lag. AT&T guys here at getting 1300+kbps on 3g.
 
At my house I'm around 800 - 1.2, then yesterday at the ballpark I was getting 2.2 per speakeasy in San Francisco...

Regularly it can dip as low as 500ish, but it's alright, not great but I can live with it, in fact when I first got it, it felt times faster than expected...
 
EVDO is like a 5 year old technology. Don't expect much from it. What you report is what I get on average, perhaps higher. 4G, on the other hand, flies.
 
Wow! Just tested my 3G speeds in my bedroom and it's at 1593 kbps d/l and 643 d/l. That's the fastest I've seen it go inside my room. Usually it would be around 700-1000 kbps. :)

Do you have a closer server to use for the test? Are you noticing slow web performance? Frankly people get too caught up in Speed Tests.

closest server is 200+miles from my location.

And yes i am noticing slow web performance, especially for things like youtube.
 
the problem isnt the speed its that app. i used that app and got the same results u guys do . but then i connected my pc to it and used easy tether and got download of 2.2mbps by 756kbps. the app is flawed
 
lol im usually at 200-700kbps down and 40-600kbps up

funny thing is i can do anything still fast at the lowest speeds :S

ATT here in Charlotte is faster (on 3g) but if i drive out of here i have 0 signal on att..i switched cause i was sick of the iphone and cause having $40 more on my pocket sounded better ..traveling and having signal is a plus

real test comes saturday ....will drive to Charleston SC where my iphone had 0 signal...lets see how it goes on the road with the evo

no shit kuz now your not on 3g. :rolleyes:
 
Not sure how those speeds are terrible. Speeds will vary greatly on location. Pretty much common sense.
 
Im getting 1.7m down and .7m up on average from my local server/tower. But trying out some others, much farther away, im getting 2.5 down and still only .7 up.

My question is - is the phone connecting to the nearest one by default? If so, is it possible to set it to another server as default? Thanks!
