Isn't that on WiFi? The chip only gets 7.2mbps on cell service, and AT&T only 2 to 3 tops.
Using the Speedtest app. and the Atlanta, GA server, here in Florida I frequently get 2100-2200 Kbps. But, when I test on other sites like dsl reports test, and toast.net, I tend to max out quite a bit lower, around 1600 Kbps or so. So, I have to wonder which is the more accurate speed test.
I should point out my speeds definitely get slower during typical bussiness hours due I'm sure to a lot of congestion and limited bandwidth.

Lol, yeah your actually right, I just realized i'm in my basement right next to my router.
Try switching to the Atlanta server, it's much faster than the more local servers.
for comparison purposes, everyone should def use the same app/website for sure...
OP im in jax, the fastest ive got was in Fleming Island and hit a little over 1900

That is pretty much as fast as my home internet. Oh the joys of Queensland.
Nyc
1223kbps down, 305kbps Up. The speeds are only this decent in the morning before 7am. Anytime after 7am, and I'm lucky if I get 200kbps down. NYC is horrible.

Wow, you are right. I am in NYC and I get terrible speeds on the NY/NJ servers, but just ran it on Atlanta:
But it pales in comparison to the speed test I ran while up in Rochester, NY for the weekend:
From July 2008 to January 2009 I used to get about 1,100 kbps all around Washington DC.
Since then it's been about 400 - 700 kbps wherever I go.
EDIT: And that's being nice. I just tested right now and got 232.

Are you JB? 3GS? I wonder why that is, when I get 1446 down in the DC area (Rockville). I have a 3G on OS 3.0 and not JB.
That's amazing speed for NYC. I work in lower Manhattan and this is the best speed I've ever got during the day:
It's even worse where I live in Brooklyn. Where were you when you got that speed, and what time of the day was it?
