Verizon users: What are your 3G speeds?
 
Using dslreports, I get between 300 to 1100 kbit/sec on my Verizon TP2 here in Minneapolis. Would have hoped for higher speeds.

Check my sig for my speeds.

My signature shows my TP1 speeds using wmwifirouter. I haven't tested the TP2 speed yet (prob not much different)

Re: Verizon users: What are your 3G speeds?
 
I tested at DSL Reports mobile speed test site and get a consistently lower reported speed than I do with MobileSpeedtest.com, but I'm not sure which is correct. Yesterday, I was testing at work where I have a really good EV signal and I was getting 1.5-3Mbps from mobile speed test, but only getting 800-1500Kbps from DSL Reports. I'm going to try and get flash working in Opera or PIE so that I can try out Speedtest.net as I feel it will have more reliable/accurate results.

For consistency and ease of testing, I recommend everyone use this test:

http://www.inetworktest.com/wired/

Having said that, the best I've gotten is 900kbps down.

I wish their was a mobile app for Windows Mobile, like the iPhone has, that could track up/down throughputs and latency for all the different networks you attach to throughout the day.

through skyfire I got a 5293 kbps at http://www.inetworktest.com/wired/

lol that doesn't count. you are doing the test through Skyfire's proxy servers. Try the same test through Opera. If you got 5.2 Mb throughput I would be extremely jealous :D

Re: Verizon users: What are your 3G speeds?
 
434kbps using opera. I like skyfire.

286 through opera mobile, wish i could do speedtest.net, but wont even work with the opera flash hack

votg 09-30-2009 06:05 PM

Re: Verizon users: What are your 3G speeds?
 
I tried it about 5x using opera and my highest has been 762kbps and the lowest 2 something.

Re: Verizon users: What are your 3G speeds?
 
744 kbps here via Opera.

*Edit* Lol just did a retest and got 1093 kbs. Not sure about the accuracy now.

That kind of throughput & latency on Verizon's current 3G network isn't possible. The ISP also isn't Verizon. You must be going through a proxy somewhere.

Use the stock IE that comes with the phone and try http://www.speedtest.net/mini.php


@ least on the stock sprint rom that flash based test works. My speed spikes in the 1800-2000 range but drops to around 1300-1400 w/ good coverage.

Wow that's awesome. On that test I'm only getting 661 down and 130 up.

I was getting around 900-1200 on mobile.

Then just for s and giggles I tried the pc.

I average between 140 and 270 on TP2. What sucks is that my TP comes back at about 1.5. I have been looking for an answer as to why such a difference between the two phones with all things being equal as far as software. Tried different PRL and making sure phone authenticated and no luck. Still a lot slower than TP.

Pointers or hints from anyone?

Does it say 1x or 3G at the top?

3g.

Hate that it says 3g. TP has Ra. TP was through alltel, but in area where they merged with Verizon. TP2 is, obviously, verizon. I could test at the same time at same location through dslreports on opera and still see the huge speed difference.

Re: Verizon users: What are your 3G speeds?
 
I got 499 down and 333 up using stock rom and IE. I dont know where the server is located though because the ones it says are close to me about half the country away.

That's absolutely abysmal then.

426/192 here using speedtest.net/mini.php. Pretty good actually, considering I'm at my house, which has notoriously bad coverage, and my phone shows as connected to 3G but with no signal. :D
