Re: How fast your 3G network is from your local operator?
 

how come my tmobile usa speeds are lower then other user that reported on here?

Does having a $9.99 tmo usa data plan with (internet2.voicestream.com) have any disadvantage over the $25 plan with (epc.tmobile.com)?

in regards to speed that is!!!

thanks!

T-mobile UK 3G, North East England:

0.09Mb/s download, 0.06Mb/s upload

Ridiculously slow compared to some here!

Re: How fast your 3G network is from your local operator?
 

ähhh guys you know that these speed test are pretty much a waste of time?!

you expect that the route from the N900 to the server (which shows you the result) is... let's say comparable with a road that is turning into a highway (the bigger back bone of the ISP) and that there is no stop and go traffic on that street.
but that is wrong. first of all you don't necessarily use the shortest way to reach the server. then you don't know how the server is connected to the network (maybe it is a single line road).
and then there is the friendly police man on the street that say "oh sorry lorries has to queue in just one line, while busses and cars with more then one person in it can use all the other lines (priority of different packages)... just do say some of the things that could limit the throughput of your connection.

packages for these kind of speed test are not always the high priority packages for an ISP. similar to P2P traffic, it will be slowed down by some of them. not necessary your ISP but one of the companies between you and the server.

then you also have the limitation of your ISP/Phone company. maybe you are in an area with a lot of customers, so they tell you that you get a highly desirable HSUPA/HSDPA or just UMTS connection. your phone shows you that you get a 3.5g connection. but somewhere behind the link (phone <-> base station) your traffic is queued, just to allow everyone in your cell to browse the web.

there are so many things that will influence with these speed tests... you can't count them all.

Re: How fast your 3G network is from your local operator?
 

that's real slow bro. i think you should switch to another network operator.

Re: How fast your 3G network is from your local operator?
 

Before you do switch to another network operator, it can be worth it to ring them up, and complain.

As with any service, the more complaints they hear from people the more mo bile operators will go to lengths to improve a service.

If its something like network coverage they can fix these issues quite easily. Something like speeds, can be alot trickier.

Still it is worth ringing them and lodging a complaint.

BUT, understand: it is practically impossible to get the full network speeds they offer "3.6Mbps/7.2Mbps".

Hope that helps.

wtf

Re: How fast your 3G network is from your local operator?
 

I'm getting about 0.24 now. Still slow, but I'm aware that I'm in a poor 3G connection area, often switches between 2G and 3G!

I'm in a contract for the next 17 months, so no switching providers unfortunately!

Damn you Finns! :)

Finland has been the one place I have always gotten great service. 1.8Mbps service on the train from Helsinki to Espoo...no fair.

Re: How fast your 3G network is from your local operator?
 

well....my carrier turned on the HSPA+ cell stations yesterday. they say it ha a theoretical speed of 21mb/s. i'll test it in the morning when there little traffic. :D

N900 via BT WiFi Router

Download: 3.26Mb/s
Upload: 0.37Mb/s

N900 via Vodafone Mobile 3G

Download: 2.88Mb/s
Upload: 1.03Mb/s

Windows XP Laptop via BT WiFi Router

Download: 2.92Mb/s
Upload: 0.35Mb/s


Impressive. The N900 is faster than my Laptop when it comes to the BT Wifi :eek: . N900 Vodafone upload also impressive considering 3g not wifi.

Sorted :)

Re: How fast your 3G network is from your local operator?
 

Vodafone 3G in the Czech Republic currently has:

Not very good, nor very bad, but quite good on the N900. You have to consider it was just launched a few weeks ago...

Saunalahti Hattula Finland

Re: How fast your 3G network is from your local operator?
 

You others using saunalahti, what Access Point Name do you use(yhteysosoitteen nimi), or does that matter at all?

I'm using internet.saunalahti which is the old name, and saunalahti keeps sending me this new apn called mms.saunalahti.fi. I once tryed this mms.saunalahti.fi and my speed was half of what I had with internet.saunalahti. Though does the name actually anything about the connection, or are the ips the same for both?

I'd think they'd use the same route, but again using mms.saunalahti.fi I got much slower speeds.. Or was it just by chance?

I usually average 3-6 Mb/s but frequently receive up over 7 and 8 Mb/s.

Re: How fast your 3G network is from your local operator?
 

Now switched to Three PAYG sooo much better than O2:
http://www.speedtest.net/result/797107808.png

Have to admit O2 was better for uploading photos though, if the speed test is accurate. But then uploading it doesn't matter so much how long it takes, its in the background, but web browsing was painful on O2.

Re: How fast your 3G network is from your local operator?
 

It depends on where you live. Some places don't have the higher speeds yet... For example whre I live we just got 3G at all on T-Mobile about the same time N900 came out (December), so I don't expect fast speeds any time soon...

Re: How fast your 3G network is from your local operator?
 

I actually hit 100KB/sec download the other day in my N900 on T-Mobile USA. That's my best speed so far :)
