What have you all gotten on your speed test with the xoom 4g? I've been getting numbers between 40-50 mbps download and 15-25 mbps upload. I tethered to my laptop and got around 15 download and 8 upload. Why the drastic difference between on the xoom and on my mac?

My guess is because when tethered you are using the other device to link to a network whereas when you are on 4g you are directly connected to the network. You are sharing bandwidth tethered, that is my unofficial guess

I'm averaging about 6 mbps down and 4 mbps up. Speedtest is using the Aurora server.
Is this considered "slow" for 4G?
I am working up in Deerfield today, DL of 13.07 and upload of 7.6 mbs. I live in south suburbs and average between 8 & 12 up, and 6-8 down.
I'm in the far north suburbs and I average 22 down and close to 6 up

WTF? 22 down is nuts. I need to move up there. I'm in Wheaton.
my speed varies alot depending on where I am at. I have seen my up speed as high as 40(yes that was an upload speed) and down 25. But I tend to average around 5 down and 2-3 up
I used to get around 15-22 down and 5-10 up every time. Now I average about 5-6 down and 3-4 up. :/ I'm in mchenry area. I miss those super fast speeds.

Used to be 20/12. Now I'm @ 5/4. Went to the VZW store and ran speedtest side by side with their demo. Demo unit was pulling 3 to 4x the speeds that my phone was just inches away.

Yes, they directed me to their tech who had no idea. His personal bolt was running at the same speeds mine was.

I tried the Chicago server as well and got 9 mbps down and about 6 mbps up.
I'm visiting my girlfriend in the city this weekend. I'm curious what my speeds will be like there.
When I ran my test, both phones were attached to Aurora's test server (because I know someone's going to ask) and I ran the test about 15 times to make sure.

I have my suspicions about the speedtest app, even after the recent fix. Those getting slower speeds, open a browser with UserAgent switching, switch to desktop UA, and go to the speedtest.net website. I always get much higher results that way, which seem to be consistent with the results I get when tethered to a laptop. I'm usually pulling between 10-20 down, 1-4 up on the Northside. It's a very welcome upgrade from WiMax.
btw those thinking they got 40 Mbps upstream a while back, that was the speedtest app giving bogus results. Many of us thought we got those speeds, but nobody really did. The developer of the app was the first to say so.
The chicago server tests much faster than the aurora server.
i just went to speedtest.net and got 0.70 mbps down and 2.02 mbps up...
my data's been slow for the past 2 days now, (im in LA) is this happening for anyone else?
4 Down and 1.5 Up here in Tampa... It blows donkey nuts.. MR2 and MR2.5 radios, no difference except that MR2 gets much better signals
Been getting around 5mbps here in orlando. Maybe it's the network?

It usually not this bad here. I usually get between 20 and 30 mbps Here. Just been Really slow for me and even when I do get 4g it usually hangs with the upload arrow lit up and I have to switch to 3g to get any data at all.
And FWIW, my buddy with a charge just did a speed test and was getting 16 down/4up at work while I am stuck on crappy 3g signal.

Can I edit build prop to fix this and if so what line
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App
I don't think the build.prop is going to be what you want to edit. Maybe try another kernel, I was having some similar issues until I started using my current one.
Your phone will never see 50mbps

Yeah bro, Pirate is right on this one. We get 56 thru WiFi altogether - it doesn't matter if I am solely connected, or if both computers, laptop, ps3, Wii, ipod and both phones are connected. Which with seven in a household happens more than you might think.... 6-10 is all your gonna get... I spiked at 11 once, and I should have framed that speed test.... Some.of these people with thier 30 + screen shots ..... I dunno man, hasn't happened to me. Saw one first hand from Vegas on an unrooted inspire that hit 22 on mobile... Obviously they had the shiz backhauled or what the Hell ever there. In.Arkansas we will get 7 tops on Mobile data, and that is spotty and rare, avg is 2-4. You know, I actually haven't speed tested in awhile...
-MyPocketWizard-
What router are you using? How much space is in between you and your router? Try flashing the proper kernel, Radio and RIL
I don't have the connection to test it but everything i have read says 65mb is the top. No problem here maxing out my cable at 18 but I smh wondering what you guys do that requires such speed...
I have wireless-n, so I will connect at 65mbps, which is tops for the Inspire from what I have seen. The top actual download speed I will usually get is around 15-16mbps, with 10-12mbps being the average.

I does depend on where you are and what is avail. I asked the very same question the other day and really no one had much to say except try different modems. I live in a small town in Northern CA. and average 1.6mbps but have seen 4.00 a cpl times. I am on my 5th modem to test...some are horrible for me but others say it is fantastic. Theere is a super thread for infuse...look there...they are all posted in CWM flashable zips.
This is weird when I run speed test on 4g I have download speeds of 7mbs avg. When I run Wifi I get avg of 3mbs which is about half as fast, but as far as my expierence Wifi works twice as fast when surfing web or downloading files what gives. What do you guys prefer, I mean while you are home around Wifi.

Generally my results are similar. My home ISP is pretty terrible though, really the only time I use Wifi is to download ROMs, for whatever reason I seem get issues if I download them over the Mobile Network, possibly corrupted downloads.
Otherwise just for Wifi calling.

WiFi & 4G are around the same at my home.... WiFi is usually around 9.5 mb/s while 4G is around 6 to 7 mb/s. Call quality is noticeably better on 4G than WiFi.
T-Mo has a free option in your account to not get charged for WiFi calling minutes...it's disabled by default so log on or call and get it changed if you use WiFi for calling.

4G is spotty where I live.. maybe 500kbs at best.. though at my friends place, I can get 9-11Mbs.
My wifi works great though, I get about 18Mbs down at home, and about 7Mbs at work. WiFi calling works great for me at home.

This is my theory remember its not fact just a theory.
Using the mobile data connection you have to share with every person in that area on T-Mobile. Using wifi you only share with the people in your neighborhood. Even tho you are getting those speeds with a higher ping because of couple hundred people playing pandora or something it will slow the process.
Another thing remember a speed test is just that a test. It is done in a short period of time. I can run a speed test at my house through out the day and get varying results. Even while getting the max DL speed sometimes things will take longer to load then when Im barely getting 1mb speeds. The load on the network has a very large result on how fast things actually download.
Good point

Heh, no but cable internet does share from the hub.
I was just about to comment on ping times... even though throughput is high, ping does play a major role.
