Here's another example:

This is faster than what it was before and this was about 12pm. I'm not sure if this is normal.

I doubled my tcp window size and I get good speeds no matter what time of day it is.

Need a little help with how to do that. I've been searching through the forums and couldn't find anything. All I've seen is "increase tcp window", not "how to increase tcp window"

Also, I've been doing my mobilespeedtest runs in the Opera browser and not IE. Would that make a difference as well?

Ok, I found out how to increase the window, and I doubled it and I still can't break that .71 mps mark. I'd accept it if that was the norm, but I have a feeling it can move faster than that on this sprint connection, when I look at what people are posting in these forums.

Here's another update. I ran speedtest's at 11pm at night and I was able to get up to 1.01 mps download speeds. My question is, is that the benchmark? I have been averaging between .50 and .70 mps download speeds throughout the day and 1.0 mps speeds in off times. I've seen people post 2.0 mps speeds on their sprint evdo connection and that would be awesome if I could attain that or more if possible.

Depends a lot on the area you're in, in town less than 15mins drive from me i never break 1m barrier(tried on about 100 occasions over span of a year-diff times). In my homeTowm - all is well so i am happy. Also to answer the PM's the speed that i have in my signature IS NOT my regular speed - its the best speed i have ever recorded, but i average quite well as well

Though for Rev. A, you can't beat what I got. Mine was taken less than a hundred feet tethered to my Diamond on my laptop.

Last week I bought a used htc 6800 did a hard reset, didn't load the sprint portion, did a few of the reg edits for tether, loaded the wifirouter cab. I did the same edits as I did on my 6900 except the wifirouter. I have both phones active and have swapped back and forth on ics several times over a couple of days.
While my laptop is connected to the speed test site I swap phones on usb ics and rerun the speed test. The 6800 downloads,while tethering, at about 1.5 meg while the 6900 downloads about .300 meg. Thesse are consistant readings. The 6900 reading is consistant with a previous 6900. Anyone have a good rationale?

it was already stated in this thread.

Eric, I reread the thread and I didn't see what you're referencing unless it's post 12. In that case and if I'm thinking along the same lines the KEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curren tVersion\Internet setting on all my phones is 4.
