5G speeds already around the corner

This is kind of off topic but I researched about the accuracy of the speedtest app. Apparently it's not that accurate. I never got around to testing alternative methods of measuring the connection speed. I was wondering if anyone have used(sorry if this against the rules when I mention this) tethering to their computer to go on to the actual speedtest.net site and see if it differentiates from the app.
Also if anyone has used the speakeasy site to see what that reveals... heres a discussion on this: http://androidforums.com/htc-evo-4g/115451-accuracy-speedtest-net-app-vs-speakeasy.html#post2482981

It can't be really close since we can't even get real 4G. And I'm not talking about metro. I'm talking about every company. Real 4G is supposed to run at like 300 Mbit/s (peak) and have a ping of around 5 Ms. Nobody is getting that on a carrier...

5G My phone has already got a faster connection than my house.

You must have awful service at your house.

5G? lol. Who gives a damn what it's called. The speed is what matters. The name means nothing. Metro's LTE is a prime example. 1.3Mbps-3.5Mbps is NOT typical LTE speeds but yet it's still called LTE. HSPA+ is technically 3.5G and yetit hovers around the 12-14Mbps mark. HSPA which is 3G hovers around 5-8Mbps. Who cares what it's called. Just make what we already have BETTER!

And who dug this out of the thread graveyard? lol
