Post your 4G/3G speed!

[Beezzy]

Use the Speed Test app from the Android market, works much faster than the web version

I got these two this mourning

Next time, turn off the GPS, I got faster speeds when I turned it off. I was getting 3.4 before and 4.1 after.

Salem, OR:

3G: 2194/858
4G: 1673/993

I don't even bother using it. I mean, even if it was faster or if I could actually get good enough reception to use it reliably, I want more than 6 hours of battery life.

Here is my 3G speed.. I won't be able to test 4G until I go back home to Chicago in a few weeks

The app is called "Shoot Me".

Only runs on a rooted Evo, or one that has "unrevoked" installed.

Um... I'm not rooted and i use shoot me on a regular basis. I'm just sayin.

Heh, I got this on 4G. I assume something goofed somewhere.

 

[fastamx79]

Um... I'm not rooted and i use shoot me on a regular basis. I'm just sayin.

I tried running it without unrevoked and it didn't work for me.

I'm just sayin...

i find the reading to be considerably different when using speed test / cnet bandwidth meter. i might try a few other places now for comparison

[hodedofome]

Hard to get 3G in my building, but unfortunately this is pretty much what my 4G speed in Waco is like most of the time.

I've found the variation from test to test, and site to site, to be incredibly variable. To get any meaningful results is going to require averaging a bunch of tests. And any test is location dependent, so ideally you'd want to repeat them from multiple locations.

Anyway, here are 10 tests each for 3G and 4G, using 2 different test services. I've got full bars on the 3G signal, and only 1 on 4G. Hopefully 4G will get faster as the signal gets stronger. All tests were from the same location, within a span of about 30 minutes.

So on the mobile.speedtest site, 4G was, on average 31% faster. On the speedtest.net app, it was 80% faster. How representative is this? No idea.

Oh, I read somewhere that speeds are slower if you have the GPS radio turned on, which I did. I also had BT turned on. Maybe next week I'll try again with only the 3G and 4G radios on.
