Holy crap. Is that tethered?

Was this your result from the tweak or are you just bragging?

I don't even see an option to choose a 2mb file

If you're on a fast enough connection, it appears after a test (usually after a couple tests actually). On the 2MB, my EvDo maxes out around 800MegaBytesPerSecond if I remember correctly. It was a bit above the "par" for EvDo on the "MobileSpeedTest.com average", but I never realized people were getting things to go this fast. Maybe he lives under a tower or somethin', LOL!

what happened to all the geeks??@#? I'll stop short at calling that a misleading font. it reads 1684 kilobits per second, which equals 210.5 kiloBytes.

to date; ALL digital network speed is measured in bits not Bytes.

Where democracy fails networks don't. Every bit matters.

So that means my reading was slightly above or slightly below his?

umm, not sure what yours actually was. 800 megabit would still translate into 100 megabyte so that's not real. I'm assuming it was 800 kbit which would translate into 100 kilobytes/sec.

I've always peaked out around ~2000 kb(it) or 300 kB(yte) peak on cdma 3g.

1 Mb is only 128 kB

So what about the MobileSpeedTest.com "Averages"? Are those just way below average?

not sure about the averages, but speed tests are just a snapshot. I've never used that site much, and generally always check multiple test sites. on my go-to list is
1. 2wire.com -quick easy
2. dslreports.com/speedtest - any test you want including a list of test servers by country/state
3. nasa.gov - you can download large images to gauge you speed. they have some of the fastest servers and bandwidth priority publicly accessible.
