I don\'t like the updated version and ended up deleting it, and using the old version again. Reason being, it would not recognize my nearest location unless I was using a WiFi connection. Every time I would close the WiFi connection, and switch to 3G to do the test, it kept listing my area as being Kansas, instead of Philadelphia as it should be. When I tried to change my location in the settings, it only gives me areas that are closest to Kansas..... I\'m going to keep using the older version of speedtest.net. until this is fixed.

Awww, c'mon!
Certainly no improvement here:
What the hell is wrong with you? That's like challenging someone to a foot race then getting into a car.
Weird, I only get 3mbps on my iPod touch even though I get about 15mbps on a computer, which is the advertised speed. 
EDIT: apparently it's the server... I got 15mbps on a server in Burnaby even though I live in Edmonton.

This is the old version of the speedtest.net app., not the updated version.

Wikipedia definition
Ping is a computer network administration utility used to test the reachability of a host on an Internet Protocol (IP) network and to measure the round-trip time for messages sent from the originating host to a destination computer. The name comes from active sonar terminology.
No such thing as a dumb question if you really don't know.
