Speedtest

smilepak · November 10th, 2009, 05:05 PM

So what is your speed test on this new DROID?

Coming from Motorola Q -> Samsung Omnia -> Blackberry Storm -> Motorola Droid, I never got anywhere close to the what DROID DOES for me!

Man, DROID really DOES SPEED!

ChrisK15 · November 11th, 2009, 03:07 AM

I just downloaded the Ookla Speedtest.net app and got 2069/611Kbps on 3G. That's really fast for Verizon as far as I know. What do you get?

Telexen · November 11th, 2009, 03:18 AM

My best so far is 1223/373.

billd · November 11th, 2009, 03:38 AM

How do you use speedtest.net. I tells me that I need Flash.

Fabolous · November 11th, 2009, 03:38 AM

Cool app. Just ran it and got 1Mbps down and 850kbps up. i'd gladly trade some of that upload bandwidth for some down though...

Guys, I've merged the two threads on the same topic. Let's continue to use this one to post our results.

Search the market place on your phone for Ookla and install that app.

Watashi · November 11th, 2009, 04:16 AM

Best so far 1.42/.81

I do like my wifi speeds too 5.37/.98

Mine is even worse than that. I tried this earlier and got like 370Kbps download.

EDIT: It's 388 Kbps download now. Ugh.... WTH??

wsbsteven · November 11th, 2009, 03:14 PM

991k down
593 up
116ms ping

I'm not too close to the tower I use and my signal fluctuates all over the place.

T0LLPHR33 · November 11th, 2009, 03:18 PM

11/11/09 at 12:16pm:

I will test my wifi when I get home and update my post then...

but on my laptop I have scene it hit 20mb download and as high as 16 mb upload...

SuperMario · November 11th, 2009, 03:39 PM

I don't have my Droid with me.. but that's what i got from my laptop..

Matthew · November 11th, 2009, 03:50 PM

I got 2257 down and 753 up. The sad thing is that is faster then my home "high speed"

icstars989 · November 11th, 2009, 04:15 PM

1127 Down and 959 Up for me.

dmodert66 · November 11th, 2009, 04:29 PM

I am getting my Droid tomorrow...It will be interesting to see both what kind of speeds I get on VZW and my 25/25 Fios connection...I'll update when I get the phone...

shadowdude777 · November 11th, 2009, 05:28 PM

My Wi-Fi was 751.2/63.8. My 3G was 177.5/77.8. I am pissed that my cable provider has worse upload speeds than 3G in an area with one bar. Guys, never get Roadrunner. They're a truly horrible service. Their upload speed is abysmal.

smilepak · November 11th, 2009, 05:33 PM

Convert and go with FIOS!

Droidood · November 11th, 2009, 05:36 PM

How can you post a screenshot?

someguy9 · November 11th, 2009, 05:50 PM

9750 down / 995 up on Wifi
294 down / 9 up on 3g

BLOWNCO · November 11th, 2009, 05:53 PM

3g speed
744 D/ 541 U

wifi

CRPercodani · November 11th, 2009, 05:59 PM

Posting your wifi results doesn't really help seeing what kinda speeds people are getting with 3G.

Les Common · November 11th, 2009, 06:00 PM

3G:
1612/552
1875/597
2183/453
2203/561
1124/427
...figgered it was time to stop

wifi@work
3506/1022
3185/1041
3907/1011
3195/1035

cool beans.

vincentp · November 11th, 2009, 06:07 PM

Oof.. I feel like my 3G service in this area is royally boned compared to the results others are getting. Granted, I'm not in a major city, but I always thought we had generally good coverage. Apparently it's either very saturated or far from a major hub, because...

Rochester, NY
DOWN: 388 kbps
UP: 361 KBPS

My download speed is almost slower than my upload. Strange, too, because everything seems to load relatively quickly. I'm not sure why the actual test results would indicate that it is so slow.

Fabolous · November 11th, 2009, 06:58 PM

Those of you with scores in the 300s, you may not be on the EVDO-Rev A. network, but on the older, Rev 0 standard.

You can check by entering Settings, About Phone, and Status.

I'm in a similar situation. 569 down/ 655 up...

I just checked and I can confirm I'm on rev a.

vincentp · November 11th, 2009, 09:24 PM

Ok, so I solved my own problem. My low speed was due to being at work. I think I had a lousy connection even though I was getting 3G. When I tried it again at home with 4 bars I got:

DOWN: 1203 kbps
UP: 665 kbps

CRPercodani · November 11th, 2009, 09:33 PM

That's more like it, I was gonna say in Rochester you should definitely have Rev A, I was just in Henrietta and I had it. Heck even my little town here in Mass has Rev A.

Arsonman · November 11th, 2009, 10:08 PM

This might be a stupid question, but would the battery level make a difference?

asilver · November 11th, 2009, 10:21 PM

6081 / 1022 wifi
1962 / 769 3g

how do you post the pics that look like screenshots?

here's the screenshot from my laptop.....me fast!

Get outta here with that Hero

Hehe, jk jk.

The ping is going to be high, because of the nature of wireless. By the way, you have 3G on that Hero, no 4G for you!

I just reran this test.

1636/698 @109 ms. Pretty nice for a town of 120k.

Pinecone666 · November 13th, 2009, 04:25 AM

My bad. I thought evdo rev a was 4 g. But I don't know much. It's prob not. I'm still learning. My first Android.

radikal · November 13th, 2009, 04:44 AM

3g down - 2.13mbps up - .81mbps

ping test

hdsixhundred · November 13th, 2009, 08:12 AM

In my little town of 65k my speeds are pretty good.

Out of 5 runs i averaged 1855k down and 814 up. Ill take that...

CRPercodani · November 13th, 2009, 09:16 AM

I have gotten as high as 2.50 MBPS down and 0.93 MBPS up, on average I get just under 2MBPS which for a town of under 15k is freakin' sweet. With AT&T I only got stinky EDGE and that would net be around 160kbps DL 115kbps UL, and they have no plans of every getting 3G out here. So glad I went back to VZW.

diggitybiggity · November 13th, 2009, 09:34 AM

I'm currently located in Southern NJ about 10 minutes outside Philadelphia. I did the test ten times in different rooms throughout my house. The server I am on is located in Philadelphia and is hosted by Comcast. after doing the math, here is the average result.

1334/dl
537/ul

Not awful... Cool thing however, is I'm going on a road trip today for work up to Boston, so I'll try and take some reading along the trip each time I hit a new server. I'll be back Sunday to post my results, or if I'm feeling bored in the hotel room, I'll do it from the Droid

JediJesus · November 13th, 2009, 09:55 AM

wifi: 4.37/1.02

You know you can go into settings and choose different servers? I dunno if the distance will play a big part in the results but I live in western MA and I get better results using a server in seabiscuis NJ then I do with the one in Boston/Manchester, NH.

cfi on the fly · November 13th, 2009, 10:02 AM

Got a question for you guys...

my wifi at home
2,100 down 700 up

3G at home
787 down 350 up

So comparing these numbers I should definately be using my wifi while at home, however in normal browsing of the internet, it seems to me that 3G is noticeably faster in loading pages when comparing the two.

Anyone know why this might be?
