First off sorry to post this in this section but it wouldn't let me post it in faq. Anyways I don't have a tethering plan but I read on here the only way to ACCURATLY check your network speed is to use it as a modem on your computer. I have the speed test app but I want to know my real upload and download speeds. Is there anyway I can do this on my computer and not be charged for tethering? Any help would be appreciated.
P.s I have a tour if this would change something I would have to do

Yea your right in saying that you have to tether with a blackberry to get true speeds.

Unfortunately you'll have to have a tethering plan to transfer any data with VZ.

That's what I was hoping not to hear I'm not paying that 15 a month because I have no need for that plan I just want to test my phones speed

And tether berry cost 50 bucks... I don't think so like I said I don't need to tether I just want to find out my speeds

Theres a free trial on their site good for 7 days.

Isn't there a free trial?

Also, you can try installing the xtremelabs speedtest. It seems pretty accurate.

My bad didn't mean to repost that but this free trial want cost me anything even through verizon

[novaman64]

Correct, well assuming you meant even though you dont have a verizon data pack, sort didnt finish that sentence.

[bricegoing]

I have a data plan just not the tethering plan will I be charged

[novaman64]

Correct, thats the point of the software. So you dont have to have a thether plan yet u can tether and not get charged.

What would be the point of buying software that does the same thing as Verizon Access Manager

I just tested my speed.... 900 kb/s...WITH 3 BARS IN 1X ( I live way out in the country) the fastest iv got it with full service is 690 using the speed test app I have a question though if I buy tether berry will it only work on one computer or will I be able to download it on multiple computers thanks for all the help

[novaman64]

is that 900 supposed to be 90? Did you disconnect the computer from all other internet connections before you did the speed test? I find it pretty hard to believe that you were downloading at almost 1mbit off a 1x signal.... Shoot that almost seems a little far fetched on a rev a with full signal....

[bricegoing]

Nope it was 896 k and at one point it did tip 1 meg. Acording to the gauge on the site and that's with my pcs connection off

[novaman64]

Thats pretty impressive, with a data card I have only ever gotten 1 mg and that was on a full signal evdo rev a network.

Ik do you know if I was to download tetherberry on the computer I did would I be able to download it on another computer as well or would I have to but it again to do so the reason I ask is because I want to download it on my other computer and take it to town and see the speed in full service
