o2 iphone users:post your EDGE speed

[sananda]

i'd be interested to know what download speeds everyone is achieving over the EDGE network. so please post your download speeds. here is a test: http://www.inetworktest.com/

 

[Hudzilla]

398.3 Kbps for mine apparently!

398.3 Kbps for mine apparently!

Are you sure that's EDGE or Wi-Fi?

Mine is 48Kbps which tells me its on GPRS right now. Will try again when i get to Central London.

 

[Hudzilla]

Yep its definatley edge. Got a full bar of reception at the mo aswell, dunno if that helps the speed?!

 

[dalvin200]

i got 205kbps

no wifi.. just on gprs/edge or something like that

ok, i'm not on o2, but t-mobile uk

at work..

EDIT:

Just re-did the test and I got 277kbps!!!!

 

[dundonald]

Yikes this is addictive! I've had 386,407 and just now 437.5.
WiFi was 680.

 

[dalvin200]

can't be right... can it?!

well, t-mobile does have some edge.

I don't think that site works, it reports GPRS as 200Kpbs for me, which is obviously total BS.

i'm getting 54 for GPRS.

 

[dundonald]

I'll call BS on this too.

Much as I would love to think I was getting in the 400s, I thought the theoretical max was 385. Recent checks were 546(!!!) 427 282 367 and 457. Surely that's a bit OTT. (I tried to clear any cache by going through a dozen or so pages before testing again. Don't really know whether the phone caches any web sites.)

Mind you I'm only 100m away from three o2 transmitters. 2 GSM and a UTMS.

i think it's overoptimistic. as you say the maximum i supposed to be 384. makes me wonder what i'm really getting when it gives me 54!

Sitting inside a Faraday Cage perchance!

no! just living in crystal palace where there is no EDGE.

 

[Yossarian]

These results are almost entirely bogus. Look at the page, it loads of JPG image it must be using that to measure time of a known file size. However... O2 (and likely other networks) intercept and recode JPG files to make them load faster... making the file size smaller.

i just tried a different test, http://i.dslr.net/tinyspeedtest.html , and it gave 14 and then immediately after the inetwork one gave 48.5.

Thanks for the link.

Got a much more realistic 233 followed by 240.

I tested on that new site and got 125kbps for a GPRS connection. Good if it's accurate, but I have my doubts.

 

[bassjunkie]

Wow! Got home today from work to find I now have EDGE coverage. Just ran the test and results are: 426.3kbps! I have turned WiFi off BTW.
Impressed!

 

[sananda]

i just went tested mine on the i.dslr.net one when i was in an edge area and got 86. i don't think i'm getting EDGE because i'm on pay and go.
