Hey well wanted to report my results from last night. Needless to say I am unhappy with "4g" and tethering. Least in VA T-Mobile.
Ok Tablet speedtest.net results.
1.5Mbit DL / 0.5~1.1Mbit UL (Sounds ok not too bad compared to my G1 on 3g which was 400 kbps)
Now here is where it goes to hell.
Wifi Tether then using speedtest.net on my PC
0.5 Mbit DL / 0.2~0.4 Mbit UL Ping 600+ to test server. Lag on video gaming like Team Fortress 2 was horrible... 500~1000ms ping to server.
I said hell with that tried USB tether. CONSIDERABLE performance increase!
1.0 Mbit DL / 0.5 Mbit UL Ping 165 to test server.
Team fortress 2 kept me at about 150~185 ms ping. Which didnt stutter too much, I was able to play smoothly online, Couldnt dogfight close and personal as well since I was a lil lagged behind but it is playable enough to perform respectably. =)
Now this is using the built in android 2.2 tether on the DS7. I do not know if there are better apps or rooted apps that would increase performance of tethering? Anyone know? It seems rather fishy that a wifi tether would drop in bandwitdh SOOOOO much on a high end system setup.
Also another note. USB tethering, does not seem to drain the battery! I had it fully charged and during my entire night of TF2ing, it stayed fully charged! NICE! =)
Test results was from Virginia Beach, VA, connecting to Washington DC speedtest.net
Anyone have some performance or tricks to get better bandwitdh results? =)

You know. Everyone else saying what I get is rather slow... for 4G. Maybe just cause it rolled out here? Its slow? What State are you in that gets 5m? And it is with t-mobile right?

Getting like 15kB/sec download and 70kB/sec upload
Wth?
Real slow anyone else get this?
T-Mob USA btw.. Server in Philadelphia
nope i got 2.15 mb/ps download and 1.31 mb/ps upload
127 ms in new york
but with the old radio i would get 3mb/s and 2mb/s
I noticed today my 3G seemed a tad slower. My speed tests are maybe 20% slower than usual. I got Tmo in Sacramento.
well, before my 3g connection totally conked (i'm connected, but no data is being transferred at all.... happened after I installed adfree) I was getting terrible data rates, just like yours... I actually got up to 33k ish on the download tho... i'm in the Chicago area. Usually I can get around 1-1.5M in my area.
not to kang your thread, but any chance adfree somehow hosed me? if i turn on wifi, i can connect just fine... so it makes me think adfree was just a coincidence because I would think it would affect my browsing on wifi too.

Same here . I flashed back to the 32.26.00.24u_4.04.00.03_2. Not a problem you wont brick your phone. My speeds were terrible with the new radio. I"m back up in the 900 kbs now . With the new radio I was averaging a 1/3 of that.
Noone can help me?
yea i noticed that dl speeds are way slower than before... anyone know how to fix that?

New radio actually improved my speeds for ATT
Did it start immediately after you flashed FroYo or sometime afterwards?
I'm also here in Philadelphia on T-Mobile and am having the exact same issue. It began immediately after flashing. I'm quite frustrated at this point.
My N1 is not rooted. I went from stock 2.1 to stock 2.2.
Im also getting slower speeds here in miami. I kept the stock radio but changed from gsm auto prl to wcdma preffered and my data is close to 20 percent quicker according to speedtest.net app. i tried it over and over again on the smae spot and it was consistent. I went back to gsm auto prl and again my data got slower.

My upload speeds are actually fine. Here are my last few speedtest.net results (all are in kbps from the comcast server in philadelphia):
Down/Up
38/1350
26/1205
43/1406
4/1205
21/1467
I was not having any issues until I made the upgrade this morning to Froyo.
I disabled 3G and am downloading around 190kbps.
Do we need to change the radio? Is Tmobile in Philly having 3G issues? I can't keep my phone as is with such a slow data connection.
Im having the same problem. It started right after I flashed froyo with the new radio. Im on tmob in dallas. Is it only people with tmobile that are having this problem?

For Speedtest, switch the server. Don't use the Miami server. It sux and gives really low speeds... I'm in Miami also and I always thought my speed sucked, i switched the server in speed test and i'm getting 1.1Mbps Down and around 800Kbps Up

Well iam on Sky Broadband so its up to 20mb, but you might think we are paying £10 a month. No, its combined with sky tv and sky talk so its free.
What i want to know is, does anyone else have this? slow web browsing and fast download?
And what is your highest bittorrent speed?
Mines is slower too
Grr... Paying for 8Mp/s
The highest i've ever got from a torrent is about 60kb/s where as MU etc. 110 kb/s
What speeds to you all get from either of these?
i think broadband in england must really suck then!
We're paying for like, 2.5MB/s, but my speeds are in the kB's. Like .5MB/s.

Do they drop your broadband when you take it in for repair?
Do remember most companies say speeds of upto 8mb/s for example, but thats not the download speed. You can atleast half that to get your max download speed.. Its only is they state 8mb/s download that you should expect that sort of speed.
Not to mention that they lie about it.
In my old house I was paying for 8mb/s, and to be fair I did get roughly that...
But where I live now.....
1 bar of 3g signal is faster than my internet.
The shocking thing is, my grandmother gets 50mb/s!!!

Where abouts in north wales?
Llandudno? my uncle gets 150kbps torrent speed there now. He's on talktalk
I've been getting the problem the OP mentioned for the last 3 days.
Sync speed and bRAS profile normal, but crappy speeds (3800 sync, 3000 profile).
Speedtests that come back between 500 and 1000.
BT's own speedtester comes back 500-1000.
Youtube is unwatchable because of all the buffering and downloads are stop/start all the time.
HOWEVER...
Torrents and Usenet are plugging along at max line speed!
Go figure!
I'm in communication with my ISP and they're aware of a pattern of normal sync but slow web speeds up and down the country. They reckon it might be tied in with the BT MSO from the middle of the week in Edinburgh. Around about the time that BT said they got people back online was when the speeds started screwing up. They suggest that maybe BT have bypassed Edinburgh and are using redundant backhaul to shunt off traffic to other nodes (Manchester, Sheffield etc). The upshot is that those nodes suffer a degradation of service for all connected to them on 20CN products (like me).
Or I could have a unique problem on my line that BT don't consider a fault because my Usenet is full speed!
As for N.Wales... unless you're in the middle of a town, good luck with getting decent speeds.
UK doesn't really have broadband.
Outside a few major city centres UK doesn't have broadband as most developed countries understand it. I will just give a few facts but avoid drawing conclusions or expressing opinions so as to avoid libelling BT: A few years ago I left central London to live in the countryside. Went from 20 MB cable to 1.5 MB ADSL. Was with O2 Access because my local exchange was still under the monopoly control of BT and O2 could not (would not?) install broadband equipment in the BT exchange even though the Gov claims it should be "Unbundled". My speeds went down in steps of approx 128kb until it became a constant 128kb (yes comparable to the old dial-up!). I fought with O2, BT and local Politicians over this because the copper wires did not change nor did my equipment. Finally I gave in and got my MAC number from O2 to change over to BT in the hope that having to fight with only one corporation would be easier. On the day I phoned BT to sign up (The transfer had not happened) my speed went straight up to 1.5 MB. Those are the facts if we had a monopoly comission I am sure they would be interested. You may draw your own conclusions regarding UK Broadband.
What are most of you getting in terms of your 3G and 4GLTE service. I get horrible rates such as 100kbps down and 250kbps up with 3G, and then mediocre rates like 2mbps and 1mbps with LTE. To be fair, I do have horrible service inside the dorms at my school, and my speeds are generally better outside with better reception. I'm just trying to figure out whether or not its my hardwares fault, or my softwares fault.
my best 3g test so far was .74mbps down / .23mbps up with a 131ms ping
and my best 4g test was 14.39mbps down / 2.53mbps up with a 67ms ping
3G 1.25 Mbps down / 0.56 Mbps up with a 104ms ping
4G 25.49 Mbps down / 3.95 Mbps up with a 53ms ping
just ran a test, 25mb down, 6mb up, 67ms.
I don't think many people are on it right now.

Sounds like everyone is getting some awesome results! I tried a couple more tests with 3G outside and the best I got was 200kbps down and around 150kbps. How do I figure out whether or not it's hardware in the phone, or possibly just crappy network service on my end?

broadstripe in eastside seattle, wa
15 megs down/2 megs up
see below
I have service from a cable company called Broadstripe. I'm in a Seattle suburb, but kind of in the boonies, and they are my only cable option... ludicrous, I know.
and, of course, they're awful. I'm paying for their 'most robust' internet option (15 megs down) and have literally never received advertised speeds. even when the tech came out and hooked me up, the first thing I did was a speed test... < 10 megs down at 10:30 am in the middle of the week, when speeds should theoretically be at their peak. have complained many times and received many worthless 'perks'. if I could change to ANYONE else, I would. even comcast, god forbid. I refuse to go DSL or satellite though.
furthermore, every night after around 5PM, the speeds go from less than advertised to barely usable due to traffic.
I just dropped quite a bit of money on a better modem with a built-in router and am hoping that consolidating everything into one package and having a DOCSIS 3.0 modem might make a difference. we'll see. I'm not expecting much and they're already making things difficult with the switch from their p.o.s. provided modem.. which I fully expected.
wouldn't recommend them and hopefully when I move in march I will have some better options.

Worked great for me, really useful, confirmed my thoughts about the Chromecast wifi been rubbish which is ashame, only getting 7.48Mbps down, when my phone next to it is getting ~30Mbps.
Using the App I've played around with my chromecast location, if I connect it to a 2m HDMI cable and move away I can get the chromecast to 24.83Mbps which is obviously a massive difference, chromecast is always doing HD now instead of flicking between HD and VHS.

Yes. My internet speed is only 5 MB/s-down 0.6 MB/s-up so that doesn't test how my wifi is functioning. Streaming off my local network sometimes requires 30-50 MB/s.

You could probably get away without the server so long as there is a SAMBA shared directory on the network.
BTW, is there a change log for the Play Store update that just showed up?

Thanks OP for this useful app, also helped determine the HDMI extender really does improve WiFi throughput from my router, at least, the connection speed to the server improved a lot and on a 2mbps down / 384k up line here in South Africa, that's already a big deal

Enojoy it.
Great little app!!!!!
I got following:
Download: 21.92 mbps
Upload: 4.97 mbps
Latency: 17 ms
Jitter: 700 ms
Running an Asus RT-AC56U router with latest Merlin firmware and set Chromecast MAC address to "highest" under QoS under 2.4 GHz wireless. I will run some test moving it around by extending the Chromecast stick in a best position to see if I can improve upon this and report back. ISP is Comcast with typical down/up on a desktop with OOKLA at 60mbps/5mbps.
Based on others experience are these numbers good?
Much thanks for the app!
Great app!! thank you very much dev.
Can someone please explain to me what difference does the HDMI extender make? I see some people say it helps them get faster speeds but how?

By default, chromecast will be pluged to TV at rear, wifi signal may be affected by TV.
HDMI extender could help to put chromecast to a right position.
