Better wifi speed results on iPhone than Playbook??

It is more accurate to say your height is 180.45 cm than 1.8 m --- any figure in kbps will be more accurate than mbps.08-24-12 05:42 PMLike 0 - Many variables when it comes to data speed tests.... a number of issues to look at if you want to test device speeds.
Make sure you know your IPS speed cap... Mine is 6.9 Megabits
With speedtest it is important to make sure you use a couple of different locations for testing as they can vary wildly in respect to results....
Make sure your device is connected to the same network connection but not at the same time as the other device you want to test....
To have a fair comarison... you should be using the same browser for each device.
The last and most important is how you connect to the internet... mine is DSL.
When I use my laptop with 1e 7 and my Playbook running simly browser + with ie user agent
When I do the test they are basically the same... If I use google chrome on the laptop and ie with SP+ I lose 2Megabits on my laptop... Who knows why....
When I go the the city and use a cable connection for internet... it is the wild west.... have wildly different results.... probably due to the fact that my home has DSL unshared and the city the cable connection is shared... so when lots of users on line connection speeds vary wildly.... for this reason I only use DSL for testing purposes...
Lastly and most importantly is how you router is configured.... When I first got my Playbook and used on my network with my Ipad... I noticed both device started to checkerboard really badly... did not trouble shooting and reconifgured my router and have not had a slow down since....
As there is so many variable when testing speeds... I do not rely on these testing sites.... I lost faith in speedtest.net told me my connection speed was 17.8 down and 8.3 upload.... my ISP cap was 6.9 so go figure....Last edited by dbmalloy; 08-24-12 at 06:07 PM.

It wouldn't surprise me the speed test makes it choke too.
Data transfer over USB is about 5MB/s.
One of the reasons I'm happy using a Raspberry Pi as media center. =P08-24-12 11:35 PMLike 0 - The PlayBook peaks at more or less 20Mpbs on wifi data transfers (about 2MB/s), and when it does that, it starts choking. It wouldn't surprise me the speed test makes it choke too.

Even if you downloaded the whole video file to the Playbook's hard drive, the Playbook still would not playback said video smoothly.
For single stream mobile devices like the ipad and the Playbook, IF you know what you are doing AND under most situations --- you should expect around 35-40 mbps in throughput.Last edited by samab; 08-25-12 at 12:51 AM.

About the same on PB's Wifi as my computer hardwired. 50Mb line
Obviously it varies from day to day but this shows the potential.08-25-12 08:05 AMLike 0
