Rev. A Speed Tests - Please Post your results

[mr.jcarter]

My speed is pretty fast however I can't see a noticeable difference when browsing.



Also, when I try www.dslreports/mspeed im gettin in the range of 600kb. Why such a big difference?

im using jd's rom and not getting those speeds at dslreports. Besides speed testing is there another to find out if you getting a rev.a signal?

I can't either, but I can see a noticeable difference when tethered. Especially when downloading. I use to download on average 40-60kbps peaking at 110kbps, now I'm getting average speeds of 75-80 and sometimes up to 179kbps. I think downloading a 70MB rom is more of a true speed test anywarys. A big difference so far.

I tried both briefly, I did notice that OMJ's was faster than JD's by a bit. I don't know if it's because of the networks load, or if it's the rom's settings. If I were to guess, OMJ has better network tweaks in his rom.

I had to go on my laptop near my window (actually had to hold it in a certain spot in the window for 3 bars) cause my apartment has horrible reception.... so no pic, but I got ~1100 down ~260 up on speedtest.net with ~350ms ping.

2 Bars brings you down to ~700 download
1 Bar brings you down to ~300 download
0 Bar seems to be around 100.

The browsing seemed faster on Ghettoryder's ROM when I had it before. It'll get faster once people come up with custom ROM's with certain tweaks in them, be patient. Theres actually a thread on the titan upgrades that i just saw.. some change to a registry value and latency goes down. Changing the DNS servers is another tweak that was mentioned in there. The titan people have a good couple months on us but I'm sure theres plenty we can learn from them and we'll catch up to them even though there doesn't seem to be as big of a user base here that knows the more advanced stuff.

Side note/Off topic: I don't have tethering on my account.. will i get charged for using it like that for speed tests or is it once i start doing it excessively?

Part of it is that test sucks and is known to be inconsistent. The other part depends on whether or not you were tethered when you ran that test, as from what I've heard tethering allows a more consistent and higher speed.

Have folks ever been charged extra for tethering even with the unlimited data plan? What plan do you have? That would suck if there were extra charges for that.
