Tilt/Kaiser mobile speed test resulted 500kbit/s today on T-Mobile EDGE

Did T Mobile just roll out their 3G network?
Today I did a mobile speed test on my Tilt. I usually get 70kbit/s, last tested two month ago. And today is just amazing, my Tilt scored average 400-500kbit/s, and the highest I've got is a burst of 1000kbit/s.
It shows EDGE on my network signal bar, don't know what is going on. And I have my wifi turned off.
Tested on both Opera Mobile and Pocket IE, same consistent results, T Mobile's EDGE is never this fast before.

What ROM / Radio are you using?

Sleuth 3.0 with the included radio in that rom, by far the fastest and most stable Rom I've tried.

I have not bothered to test speeds, but I did a side beside comparison between my Kaiser on T-mobile USA and an Iphone on AT&T and the Kaiser was much faster.
Whatever that means. . .

I think so.
I got my device in January and this week i've been consistantly getting an HSDPA signal for the first time ever (Edinburgh).
Prior to this week, the only time I had ever received an HSDPA signal was when waiting for a train in London Euston.
Shame i'm only getting 160KBit atm but it's better than what I was getting before.

lifanus, where are you located? If you're in the US, then YES, tmo has just begin launching their 3g network. It's already up and running in NYC, and will be in a bunch more cities by the end of the summer. However, the tilt supposedly can't get the tmo-US 3g 1700mhz band.
I live in the boston area and my phone has been jumping over to 3g and H periodically, albeit intermittent. It's a sign of good things to come.
I've been with Tmo for years, and I've always loved their plans, service, and their pricing structure. I'm just glad they're going to offer services that will rival their competitors! :-D

Hi Ingentics,
I live close to Dallas, TX, USA (Denton)
I've tested the speed this morning again and the speed apprently dropped to normal 150kbits/s. I guess that the 500kbits/s to 1000kbits/s speed I was getting is late at night when not many people's using their data services. Because I got the results around 2am...

hi lifanus
I live in irving tx, i am not getting any 3G at all. i am running hyperdragon iii with the included radio. and i got the 5.99 plan. do you also the 5.99 plan?

WXC,
No, i'm actually using the T-Mobile total internet w/hotspot plan (internet2.voicestream.com instead of wap+proxy network).
Here is a screenshot of the speed I got late night yesterday.

Could be compression, especially if you have a proxy enabled!

can anyone else get the kind of speed as lifanus on tmobile in the dallas area? if so which rom /radio / plan you are using? I am only getting 75kbits/sec

Speed tests with opera are never accurate due to the way they compress and send information to the phone... pie is unfortunatly the only way to get an "accurate" speed test.
And also can't get tmobile 3g without the 1700 band

4G Tether Results: Is Wifi capped? USB is better. Gaming!

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? =)

Im getting 5m down 1.8 up

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?

Haha. I only have ~10 down, but up, it's only .5 . Imagine uploading an 18MP photograph, which is about 8 Mb...and now imagine uploading a 5 minute video filmed in HD at 1080p, which is about 3-4Gb, on .5Mbps up stream.

Speedtest Download and Upload Results

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.

Those speeds arent possible... especially the upload. What did you do to measure it? upload is capped around 6.

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?

in Newark, De (Uni of Delaware campus) I was getting 18-ish mbits down, and 1.5mbits up. Ill post screenshot monday.

I haven't been getting any speeds like these, it's sort of worrying me :/

I typically get 44-48Mbps down and 10-13Mbps up on LTE. 3G is 1-1.4Mbps down and .6-.8 up. Happy with it all

my highest i've ever had was 42.93/9.97

So lets get this done. Rate your ISP.
Post your location, provider and "advertised speed". And how you like/dislike your service.

I think i have heard of them. Is that your only option in Sacramento? I just moved from hollywood and all we could get was time warner. (which was the worst ISP in el paso, tx)

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.

according to speed test. I like it. we used to have Verizon, and that sucked. a lot. So I can't complain.

i just did this test and its 6pm when traffic should be at its heaviest. (in sig) ask your provider if they have docsis 3.0. if they do, grab a modem that supports it. quick.

Love it.

I'm pretty neutral towards my ISP. They have had some problems and were very slow to fix it, but they are better than CenturyLink in my area. Plus I'm in the middle of no where so I can't complain ;p.

33-2600Kbps / 600 Kbps. Last week. Performance was really poor and intermittent. They came out and changed my modem and switched me to PPPoE. Now I get 26xx Kbps / 7xx Kbps. Much happier now. We will see if it lasts.
Btw, The advertised speed is 3360/864 Kbps.
