I've been running Speedtest.net on my Optimus, and the DL speeds can vary quite a bit. Mine are typically in the 200-700 range, though sometimes I've been able to get as high as 1600 or so, like this past Sunday afternoon. Even with the slower DL speeds Speedtest shows, my phone seems fairly quick to load pages and surf, which makes me think that the DL readings are not very accurate, and possibly way off.
Something odd I've noticed when I run a speed test, is that as the DL test is completing and it shows the final DL speed up in the DL box, down in the "speedometer" section in the speed box there, it wll always very briefly show a very significantly higher speed, which based on how pages load, seems like it might be the true DL speed. Btw, it never does this for the UL speed, just the DL, and it doesn't matter which server I select for the test. Here are some examples from tests I just ran, showing DL Box speed / Speedometer Box speed.
184/1875, 210/1007, 278/1824, 271/1824, 603/1875, 400/1875.
As you can see, the 2nd number is much more consistant than the first. Could this be the real DL speed I'm getting, or is it just a app quirk, and the 1st number is the real speed I'm getting? Anybody else notice this on their Optimus V?
