I saw an article about how great AT&T data speeds are. I am on Verizon, and lately I have noticed a significant decrease in speed in the Columbia SC area. I pretty consistently get around 300 down and about 225 or so up.
What is everyone else's speed? I would like to see both Verizon and other carriers. Supposedly we are in a EDVO REVA area. I am not impressed right now. It used to be better. Some applications now take like 10 minutes just to download them.
Man something is definitely wrong with my data speeds, Im in around downtown nyc and Im getting DL speed: 128kb/ max 879kb and upload im getting 76kb/ max 77kb.
I knew something was wrong when I first activated the phone last week, data is just very slow.
edit: tested again, now Im getting DL speed of 1449kb/ max 22775kb, thats a huge difference from the first reading, ??.
One thing I think makes a difference is whether you are on a BES. My friend who is on a BES got 2522DL (max6250) and 54.25 (max59.1)like what was posted above. I guess the speedtest I mentioned here is accurate. Is there a better way to figure it out?
What i have tried to do is a bunch of tests and more or less average them. I get pretty consistently the same thing.
When I did a tethered test it was 600Kb dl which is more on par with EVDO REVA specs.
This is the BEST way since you're pulling true data instead of a "test package". If you don't already, download the trial for tetherberry and then tether to your laptop and download a 10mb file, look at your speed, that's more of a true representation than that speedtest...
