T-Mo data speeds; What you got?

What kind of speeds is everyone getting with the HD2 in your area? This morning t-mo enabled 3g on several more towers in my area and am I also able to access hsdpa. Not sure if I was able to prior to today or not (custom rom and taskbar have symbols for hsdpa that im not sure are present in stock rom). Each browser I use seems to give different speeds, running the 1mb test as suggested.

PIE

Skyfire

Opera

I thought HD2 is doing a 10mbps? My HTC touch will smoke that speed on PIE alone.

It will once hspa+ is available on the entire network..currently only available in the Philadelphia area as a test market.

Once everyone is using HSPA+, It will slow the the speed again. Right now, Those people will hit 10mbps on tests areas. But when it's available to everybody, You'll be lucky if you hit 3mbps.

PS - Don't use the 100k test, please use at least 1MB+ to get a reliable result. 100k is too little for the test to really be accurate.

First post updated.... Personally cannot touch 7000kb.

Sadly, I agree.. Even though I'd love to say my 7200kbps is accurate, I doubt it is. But I do seem to range between 6500-7500kbps with PIE on mobilespeedtest.com

The only true test in my opinion is to do an actual file transfer. Find a 20MB-50Mb size file hosted somewhere on the internet. Download it repeatedly on your phone and keep track of how long it took each time.

Remember that 1KB = 8Kb, bits and bytes are NOT the same.

Using this test, I'm averaging around 1600kbps in the real world, which I'm pretty happy about for now. HSPA should easily triple that speed.

I think we should all try this test and then post back our results.
