I used http://www.iphonespeedtest.com and was only getting around 250 kbps. Is that bad? I'm right next to my router (wireless g with cable modem).
mobilespeedtest.com
5.02 Mbps = 642.11 KB/sec
iphonespeedtest.com
209.5 kbps
This slow site does not show the true speed. It also make a false claim that
"because iPhone (currently) lacks flash or java support, it's hart to get an
accurate measure of performance". iphonespeedtest.com claim is totally bogus, as mobilespeedtest.com shows a more reasonable speed.
So, use mobilespeedtest.com
I'm not sure where the claims of 7.7 mbs come from. I have upgraded my internet with Comcast and get a max of 18 megabits download, and the Iphonespeed tests give me ~155-213 kilobits results. And I have and excellent Cisco WAP and am literally sitting right next to it.
I seriously challange anyone to show me results of 7 mbps. I just don't think it is possible with the iphone. Maybe the iphonespeedtest.com website itself is slow?
Mobilespeedtest.com test via edge = 48.00 mbps
I don't think so!

That website is bogus.
The iPhone5 maxes out at around 92Mbps (the rest of the 150Mbps is error correction) with a 5ghz router. You need a router that provides a strong signal, because the antennas on the phone are a smaller than those on a laptop.
Here is my iPhone5 result with Verizon FiOS and an Asus RT-N66U 802.11n router.
