Post-EE4 Speed Test?
- Could anyone confirm this along with me?
I was running 16mbps down pre-EE4 on 4G, and 1mbps down pre-EE4 on 3G.
Now, I'm running 8mbps down 4G, and 0.5mbps down on 3G.
Seems as though my data rate was cut in half... anyone else seeing this? I'm not 100% convinced this is an EE4 issue... but its a good possibility, right now.06-14-2011 09:21 AMLike 0 - Where are you testing? I didn't really read much of the pages on the testing when the phone first came out so I just did Speakeasy's test.
Atlanta - 24 down, 4.3 up
Seattle - 17.8 down, 3 up06-14-2011 10:41 AMLike 0 - I was thinking where you were going to test your speed so it would be a fair comparison.
It might be a local network issue in Denver. But with DC, who knows? Wouldn't LTE device proliferation reduce the speed? And if that's the case, maybe everyone under the sun got one in DC. Lobbyists, politicians (gotta be fast with those junk shots), and lawyers alike.06-14-2011 11:01 AMLike 0 - I think your drop in your data rate is a function of the 4G LTE network and not the latest software update. I am in Charlotte and have been testing my data rates every few days. Sometimes I get 24Mbps and other times I get 8Mbps. It fluctuates during the course of the day and has been even prior to the software update.06-14-2011 11:44 AMLike 0

Update: I was using SpeedTest.net's app but using the Speakeasy.net site someone mentioned I see I'm getting more like 13-14 download speed. I don't know if its a SpeedTest oddity that cause the drop or if I'd have gotten higher speeds yesterday with SpeakEasy.net as well and there has been a drop.06-14-2011 05:47 PMLike 0 - I'm using speedtest.net and getting results ranging from 4-10Mbps down but all 3 Mbps up in Tallahassee depending on which server I use. This was in a 3 minute timespan today. However, over the long run, I find that the closest server doesn't necessarily give you the fastest results. I've ranged from as low as 1.5 to as high as 22 down. 4 is the fastest up I've experienced but it's consistently in the 3 range.06-15-2011 03:13 PMLike 0
- I tested my speeds with SpeedTest.net app, and found that local (I'm in NYC area) slower by 6-8Mbps down, and about 1Mbps up, than prior to EE4 update. Tested both NY servers - same results of about 6.7 to 7.5 Mbps down and about 1.2 Mbps up. Switched to a server in CT, and the results were very similar to the ones I used to get prior to EE4 update, about 12.5-13 Mbps down, and about 2.3ish up. So, maybe test with non-local servers?06-15-2011 04:23 PMLike 0
