This is what drives me nuts. I was paying the same per month and my download speed was no where near that. On "4g" I was lucky to get 1.5 down and my 1xrtt was slow as hell.

Metro in dallas is awesome... Outside and you slow down to a crawl... But still pay the same price...

I use Mobile Speed test and always get around these numbers...4000-6000kbps..rare times I would get more or less.

Just now I got 5479.452 kbps
Latency .22 secs
Transferred 2000kb in 1.46


Don't forget to scroll down to the bottom for recommendation to test your speed using different kb tests.

I took a trip from Florida to Los Angeles last week and I had a layover in Dallas TX.

Texas is where Metro PCS originated and look at those latencies!!! 85 ms is phenomenal! The down/up speeds though slow on 4G, but pages were opening at lightning speed.

This is the best I could get in Los Angeles which isn't so bad, but I would get 4G service only 25% of the time out there.

This is what Texas looked like on the flight home.

This is what Florida looked like.

1x speed crashes the app and for whatever reason it doesn't like Wifi. It tests it but runs at snail paced speed regardless of how fast pages and files load.

I ran a speed test on my Samsung Galaxy Indulge with the speedtest.com app. The results are:

Ping: 132: ms
Download: 8933 kbps (almost 9 mb/s)
Upload: 3034 kbps (3 mb/s)

I don't know what the Ping is but my phone is really fast.

I posted a while back, but wanted to give an update. When 4G first came to this market (Tampa Bay) I would get consistent 1300 kbps up/down just about everywhere. That is still true, although in more and more spots nowadays I am getting around 5000 kbps down and 2000-3000 kbps up. Using Speedtest.net app. So it looks like they continue to improve the network in my area. That's good.

Oh wow.
Talk about a necro!

Well, there's no way to tell with the data you provided, since it's incomplete. But I'm gonna make the sin of assuming the speedtest data was in kbps. Then in that case, they're similar enough.
I also feel it worth noting that the measurement is likely to change, and is actually expected to increase slightly if done three times in a row, for example, the 3rd time having the advantage of a preconeived path to the destination.
