Anybody else want to share their speeds?
I'm wondering if the phone is the limiting factor because i see other phones in other forums are showing much lower numbers and wonder is it their signal or phone.

I've gotten 32 and 35 a few times. I think its about what time of day you test. Less people using = higher speeds

I've heard rumors of speeds 60+mbps up around Richmond International Airport but haven't been up there to see if they are valid rumors or not. My EVDO numbers average under 100kbps at home,lte is averaging 10mbps. I'll take it.

Those type of speed tests don't mean jack to me. I go by what I can download / upload at a sustained speed, meaning how fast on average my download speed is while I'm downloading (for keeps, not streaming) a multi gigabyte HD movie. The most I've seen is around 2.2 MB per second, about the same as my GF's cable connection. It varies alot and I'm hoping for more stability in the future. I've done those speed tests also, getting some big numbers, but those speeds cannot be maintained that's for sure. (I'm talking about paid wireless hotspotting to my laptop and I'm getting my money's worth for sure!)

The photos posted were about average over a several hour period while in an area of Richmond and 3 days in a row at different times of the day. I posted the lowest and highest I got on that Friday.

My speed test right now:

My movie downloads and uploads speed right now:

I don't run the speed test app too much but I'm always looking at how fast my actual movie downloads and uploads are doing and I've NEVER seen a combined total over 2.2 MBPS

The "speedtest" doesn't download 8 gigabyte HD movies nor does it begin to convince me that I'm getting any useful speeds (sustainable) over 2.2 MBPS and still I'm quite happy with what I'm really getting.

Don't confuse Mbps and MBps. In general file transfer rates are given in MBps (mega bytes per second) by the application, but speed tests test true throughput as measured by carriers which is in Mbps (Mega Bits per second). There are 10 bits per byte. So 2.2MBps is the same as 22Mbps.

Actually it is 8 bits per byte. Otherwise you are absolutely correct. That's why all the ISPs like to advertise their speeds in Mbps instead of MBps, it looks faster. Then when you download something at only 150 KBps, u wonder what happened.

The answer is 42.
Oh, wait, you mean to tell me you need to know the question now?
Well, I can't answer that.

Also, when you download something, keep in mind that your speed is closer to the weakest connection. You might get a download to the limit of your speed from one site because they have a fast connection that isn't being taxed to heavily, and then get a very slow download from another. Most limit the transfer rate so that people dont tax the bandwidth. Hence the requirement of mirror sites that might be closer and/or faster.
