Not only did I not believe the site's readings, but I had to take it off my bookmarks because it was starting to make Opera Mobile hang and then be unable to launch again. Oh well.

Ummm...because it happened, more than once actually.

The progress bar wouldn't complete during the test and the browser hung. Quit the browser and couldn't launch it again. End of story, end of my visits to the site. If it works for you, fine, pay my words no heed.

well i just tested it from PIE and got 1.17 Mbps 3 times in a row, then 1.02 Mbps, then back to 1.17 Mbps
so then i used dslreports.com and got 940 and then 953 kbps
so using pie it's almost the same.. im not gonna try it on opera seeing how u guys got those crazy numbers
but thanks for the site

<> u should use it in opera to fool nonsprint using friends tho lol... especially if you find out their browsers display more realistic numbers.. then u can ask them to do it first then show them your speeds

Browsers that use a proxy server, such as Opera Mini and Skyfire, will have erroneous readings. Opera Mobile 9.5 on my Mogul appears to be accurate. Tethering may give a better measurement.

agreed for tethering.. i still like to use pie to test sometimes to see just how slow it is in a certain location compared to how it is at home where its pretty nice

teathering is the only real way to see how fast its really going.

I remember something like this in the Touch forum a while back. PIE gave a more accurate reading while Opera was always "superfast". If you tether with Firefox at speedtest.net it gives a better reading.

What is "PIE"?

EDIT: Nevermind...still need to get used to this "P" thing.
