Post your mobile internet (2G/3G/Wifi) speeds here

This thread is an attempt to get an overview of speeds which different members gets depending on the kind of network and service provider they use. Similar thread exists, but this is specially for mobile segment.

Preferred application to test on Android: speedtest.net

The results can be posted in following format:
Kind of network : (2G/3G/WiFi)
Service Provider : (Airtel/MTNL/Idea...)
Location:
Download Speed :
Upload Speed :

OR, ANY format you prefer! Just post them!

Like this:
2G/3G | Carrier | Location | DL UL

Optional: Screenshot(s).

Tips:
1. Please make sure no bandwidth utilizing task is running in the background.
2. Try to take the reading atleast two time, to avoid false readings, which may occur due to the nature of such tests.
3. Try to post the results in kbps, and not kBps. By default the app measures in kbps.

So let the comparison began!

My Results:

I took 4 tests, and got quite a range of results!
Kind of network : 2G
Service Provider : Airtel
Location : Delhi
Download Speed : 67 to 97 kbps (8.3 to 12.1 KBps) [Fail!]
Upload Speed : 12 to 61 kbps (1.5 to 7.6 KBps) [Epic Fail]

Sceenshots (there are 4):

I suggest you add Location also. Since that is what matters most.

My Result:

Airtel 3G Bangalore

Comments: DL is mostly good. Speeds fluctuate a lot. DL is always above 1mbps. I got 3mbps in a certain month. Reliable. Pings bad for gaming as they fluctuate a lot 80-800 (!)

Added location. Thanks for the tip.

But, your screenshots doesn't resemble the speeds on mobile!

I first checked the speeds on my mobile through the speedtest app.

Then tethered (USB) it to my PC and went to the normal sppedtest weblink and did the test. That gives a direct link for the image. Saves time for uploading and reposting it through third party site.

Ofcource I rechecked that the speeds and pings were same of affected due to tethering or not. There was maybe a 0.5% difference. Not significant.

Also you can see it says, Bharti Airtel ltd. not Bharati Broadband

Has information on time, server used, UL, DL, ping all in one :))

Saves a lot of time.

Hope that clears the confusion

^^ yes, it clears the confusion! Using your method does gives a lot of info at one place.
But I am unable to determine whether your connection is 2G/3G or WiFi from the screenshot.
Although from the speed in Mbps it looks like it's Wifi.

Sorry, I forgot that. I updated it now.

It's 3G

BSNL Broadband wifi,

2g|Vodafone|Guwahati| DL- 20 Kbps| UL- 15 kbps

Speeds almost double during morning time. Reached 40 kbps few times. 30+ Is normal in morning.

Ok.. so apart from me, only thetechfreak is using 2G and is getting a speed of about 20 kBps. Which is greater than my average of speed on Airtel of 10 kBps!

We need more 2G readings to come to a conclusion here!

Technically HSDPA is 3G...

Here's mine.

Note: These are the actual speeds one would be getting. No bit-byte confusion.

I might be wrong, but from what I've read on the internet, HSDPA is NOT 3G.
And also, I never asked the Airtel people to activate 3G on my sim (and its a 10 year old sim!). So I assumed it isn't 3G.

And also, it shows H in the status bar. If it was 3G, it should have shown 3G

^^ use it. i have enjoyed HSDPA (3.5G) on a 2G sim for many months. just don't activate any 3G plan. not even by mistake, you'll regret if you do.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-Speed_Downlink_Packet_Access

HSDPA is 3.5G; upgraded specification of the original 3G. So I wasn't completely wrong, but I wasn't right either... thanks for pointing out!

2G speed is usually around 25-30kbps d/l & 5kbps u/l.

@sam:
Me also frm ghy, i use bsnl 2G sim prepaid, use GPRS pack Rs 98, use usb modem, connect using HSPDA, download speed in Flashget download manager is 230 Kbps average (like it took 1 hr to download a 1GB file). Am i getting 2g or 3g?

definitely 3G. i too used to get 3G on my 2G sim using 2G pack but now when i turn 3G on, i get 4-5kbps on 2G pack.

Yes. But there is a slight trick.
Do this-- use up all the 3GB usage of ur Rs 98 2G pack. Then recharge with Rs 10. Then connect net. Then immediately recharge Rs 98. Then u will be able to use this 3gb usage at 3G speed.
P.s. Rs 10 recharge is for 20 mb usage for one day. U can recharge Rs 50 for 7 days for 3G speeds, but i havent used this one.

that is--
Rs 50 for 7 days = Rs 200 for 30 days
Plus
Rs 274 pack for 9 GB 30 days validity
Equals to
Rs 474 for 9GB at 3G speeds.
(plz check the exact packages, i may be mistaken with the unit amounts)

i think this is for BSNL. For airtel its Rs.8 for 10Mb. i have read about such a trick. Thanks anyway :smile:

ok. Yes, for airtel, when they introduced it 1st in ghy, they gave 3G speed in the 2G packs last year around june onwards - i had used it. But then they removed this functionality around september i think.

Update.

I switched to a new plan on Airtel. The one in which you get 500 MB on 2G + 500 MB on 3G in just Rs 150 for a month. But things started to go south since then.
After activating that plan I used to get about 10 kbps on 2G and just ~70 kbps on 3G (yes, that's small bit/sec). First I blamed on my buggy ICS ROM. Then I even tried switching to a GB ROM. Still the same results.
I was thinking maybe Airtel began to cheat their customers. And was just about to make a call to CC, when suddenly speedtest showed following results. And I was shocked to the core!

*i.imgur.com/urnIz.png *i.imgur.com/ZczcY.png

That's HUGE!! Never saw such speeds on mobile network! :shock:
