Best site for mobile speedtest?

I've seen a few people say where their speed-test is from, but not sure which is the most reliable. I tried mobilespeedtest.com, but that was just so unreliable. I got 12Mb/s yesterday on the EDGE network using that. What's the most reliable without tethering?

DSL Reports' Mobile Speed Test

make sure to use internet explorer for it... not opera

Thanks guys. I hit the THANKS button.

So people are getting those widgets in their signature from tethering and using speedtest.com?

Ran the test using IE & Downloading a 1MB file...

186 kbit/sec

0.254s latency
44.192s d/l time.

So what's that mean in layman's terms?

I am getting about 900 kbit/sec
0.163s latency.

I get much much faster tethered to a laptop, as you can see in my sig.

The result I have in my sig is just using IE on my Vogue. Not tethered. Try that site.

I don't trust mobilespeedtest at all. I tried it out and got 12Mb/s on EDGE (impossible), then did it again and got 14Mb/s. It said I downloaded their file in .58 seconds when it took maybe 45 seconds.
