I downloaded the Speedtest app from xtreme labs a couple days ago.

I was hoping to post my results and hope to get an idea of how my BB is fairing versus others around the country.

Below are the expected data rates as posted on Telus' website found here:
product&services / 1X - TELUS Mobility - British Columbia
*The link says British Columbia, but don't worry, information for all the provinces are listed.

Peak downlink (Rx) throughput
2.4 Mbps

Typical downlink (Rx) throughput range
400-700 Kbps

Peak uplink (Tx) throughput
153 Kbps

Typical uplink (Tx) throughput range
40-60 Kbps

Latency
150 ms

Here are my results:

Avg. download speed: 54.15 Kbits/s
Max speed: 96.23Kbits

Avg. upload speed: 37.94 Kbits/s
Max Speed: 68.87 Kbits/s

Fair to say that I'm falling EXTREMELY short from the "expected" from Telus, so I was wondering if I'm the only one.

Happy posting!

Problem is...none of their phones are rev A capable...as far as I know...

I'm in a small town 2 hours north of Toronto visiting my parents so thought it would be slow but my results:

Average DL: 268.13kb
Max speed: 345.07kb

Average upload: 208.45kb
Max upload: 250.00kb

[Igotone]

Hi guy dont be to sorry with your results.

I do Avg dl sp: 24.85Kbits
Max dl sp: 50.14Kbits

Avg upl sp: 6.65Kbits
Max upl sp: 55.61Kbits

Sure i am far out of there range for the radio signal with only 3 Bar on edge not 3G.

[wasteman]

Here are my results:

Avg. download speed: 544.15 Kbits/s
Max speed: 656.00Kbits

Avg. upload speed: 375.34Kbits/s
Max Speed:456.23 Kbits/s

[wxmancanada]

Here are my results (Curve 8330 - Ottawa, ON):

Download speed is: 74.86 Kbits/s
Max speed is: 88.43 Kbits/s

Upload speed is: 8.08 Kbits/s
Max speed is: 60.09 Kbits/s


Not at all impressed with the upload speeds, I ran it again:

Download speed is: 59.89 Kbits/s
Max speed is: 88.43 Kbits/s

Upload speed is: 40.31 Kbits/s
Max speed is: 72.04 Kbits/s

update your PRL *22803 then option 1 then option 2 let the phone beep 3 times then hit ok. Then try the speedtest again. and those down and up are for AIRCARDS not the phone you have. The storm right now is REV 0 and not running on REV a. Wait till the new OS comes up. Then test again. but just for now you should be having 400k @ least down and same thing up, which is = to 3.2 Mb/s because it's X8 bits

[leemoreau]

I just ran it again still at my parents up north.

DL 272.1kb
Max: 321.88kb

Upload: 240.67kb
Max upload: 253kb

[fraunhofer777]

Just ran this in a suburbia here in BC:

Connection Type: Carrier
Avg.Download Speed: 542.15Kbits/s
Max.Download Speed: 601.24Kbits/s

Avg.Upload Speed: 298.66Kbits/s
Max.Upload Speed: 454.54Kbits/s

[jmlowes]

Just ran test three times, once came back with 3.36Kb download, something funny going on there. Anyway, results in Edmonton are:

Down: 83.36 Kb/s
Max. Down: 87.36 Kb/s

Up: 30.49 Kb/s
Max. Up: 80.9 Kb/s

I am thinking the upload speed on the last test is suspect as well. Either way, with numbers all over the place like that, it's no wonder it doesn't seem all that fast at times.

Thanks for the PRL suggestion. I'll update it and try again. *only in a forum can you discover how to update your PRL! *

As for the 400Kbps that Telus is quoting, when they use a 'b', that denotes bits. When they use 'B', that denotes bytes...

400 Kbits/s = 50 KBytes/s

[southnam]

just did my test a few times.... in my house getting:
download: 260.04 kbits max 276.39
updload 234.00 max 245.09

[Krypto]

Download speeds are regularly 375kbps and upload speeds are typically 280kbps

[LazyStarGazer]

Just tested this outside at 6:30 AM, thinking network would not be very busy.

Max dnld. 383

Max upld. 117

Yesterday afternoon it was half that.

Storm and Bold posters, I am jealous of your results.

[Sparro]

Problem is...none of their phones are rev A capable...as far as I know...

The Storm is Rev A.

An hour northeast outside Toronto

These are typical numbers for me.

Hey guys...

I'm in Toronto full signal EVDO on my Storm and I get:

Connection Type: Carrier
Avg. Download Speed: 3460.74Kbits/s
Max. Download Speed: 3917.07Kbits/s

Avg. Upload Speed: 62.74Kbits/s
Max. Upload Speed: 95.41Kbits/s

Am I the only one seeing these great speeds?

My gf's bold in the same location full 3g gets this:

Connection Type: Carrier
Avg. Download Speed: 582.28Kbits/s
Max. Download Speed: 702.57Kbits/s

Avg. Upload Speed: 67.09Kbits/s
Max. Upload Speed: 112.61Kbits/s

I'm curious why Rogers isn't doing better. Both phones Storm and Bold have full signal 3G and EVDO...downtown TO. No reason why they shouldn't be the same unless Rogers is capping the speed somehow or the network is congested.

Any Tour speed tests out there for Telus?

Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com

[nfldberryuser]

In St. John's, Newfoundland my results (8330 running OS 4.5.0.160) are as follows:

Avg. dl: 523.64 kbits/s
Max dl: 605.43 kbits/s

Avg. ul: 224.28 kbits/s
Max dl: 274.38 kbits/s

[mordenxp]

They updated the speedtest app today
http://mobile.crackberry.com/otaapps.html

Been testing it out and getting some interesting results from my storm and bold here

Would be interested to see other telus user results?

Here are some tests, all are run with 3G option selected and not 'Edge' as the app now gives you the choice when you start the test.

Better results today and running newer hybrid on my storm
