I've tested three times, the first time my latency was 345 ms (this is the time i scrolled in the web page to make sure to select 'seattle wa, as it was closest to me... The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th, time Ive gotten 130-145ms latency (just hit begin test, no messing around with selecting a location, it would select seattle, wa automatically) and 1.00-1.10 mpbs download and 0.30-0.35 mpbs upload.

EDIT: It appears that whenever I open a new page, the first speed test latency is in the mid 300ms's... but subsequent 'test agains' will always have below a 150ms latency...
Just did the same tests with the internet2.voicestream.com APN.

I tested did 4 consecutive tests.

The latency was always in the mid 300ms's. Download and upload numbers were in the same range as above.

Just use this link for "speakeasy" (same provider, different page):

http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/]
And what exactly makes this site more accurate than any other?

I've tested T-1s, and frame relay circuits, from Cisco routers, as well as consumer centered Comcast and Verizon (both DSL/Fios) and found speedtest.net to return results consistent with the SLAs. Other sites have provided "varied"results.

When I first got the N900 the epc was internet2 but I switched it to epc. Though I'm not sure if I need to call TMobile to let them know to get the speeds reported. I'm usually in the DC area for school and work and the epc APN works.
If you want to make sure you are subcribed to the right plan, call them.

Either plan will give you access to the 7Mb network...whether you are in range of a 7Mb tower is another issue.

Impressive, but still only a personal experience.

Well, if I'm using a testing site, which gives different speeds, for different file sizes, one of which is faster han the provider has provisioned, I wouldn't rely on it...not just my experience, not just on the 900, and not just T-Mobile.

However, if the mobilespeedtest site is working for you, good luck with that. I'm just a "user" of the site, not an admin, so my "experience" is what dictates my decision regarding continued use.

I know I have the smartphone plan since I see it on the TMobile.com page.

I was just wondering if TMobile has to do anything to do the SIM card (even remotely).

I'm impressed. I tested my N900 through CNET's bandwidth test, bandwidthplace.com, and speakeasy.net. Ended up averaging 3mb/s download and a 1mb/s upload with full bars in Sacramento.

Sure is going to suck when AT&T ****s it all up for everyone...
