Just did a speed test...and

[proactix]

this is the speed result I got:

Nice!
Your speed is faster than the average for your ISP!


The average speed for your ISP (Blackberry-RIM) is 1323.68 kbps. Your speed is 3019 kbps.


How fast are the other carriers?

Sprint average speed: 562.45 kbps

Verizon average speed: 467.34 kbps

AT&T average speed: 1115.98 kbps

T-Mobile average speed: 1377.32 kbps

Alltel average speed: 930.84 kbps

Metro PCS average speed: 278.52 kbps

I know that BIS goes through a proxy server so it doesn't reflect or give an accurate speed test, but the numbers looks good...

It is a website called "mobilespeedtest.com, it is a web based test.

how do you avoid the files being cached on RIM's or Opera's proxy server?

[hubermania]

The most accurate results I've gotten are from the Speedtest app on BB App World. It doesn't use the browser so it's unaffected by choice of browser or by BIS/BES/WAP/Bolt/Opera/... gateway caching. I normally see Speedtest d/l speeds of 100-200kbps on EDGE and 2-3Mbps on UMA.

I'm within "line of sight" of the local T-Mobile mast, and I've been told that my local mast is not working properly, I've been dropping 30-40 calls per day (sometimes unable to hold calls for more than mere minutes) and I think my 3G tests further prove the point.

What's the name of the speedtest app? I can't seem to find it.

It's literally "Speedtest" by Extreme Labs. I can't remember what category it was under.
