| What's your 3G Speedtest?
In a similar fashion to the Speedtest thread in the Computer forum, I thought it would be fun to have a 3G thread here.
The best way to test would probably to tether to a PC and use the full version website.
Here is my result... I'll try several different locations and see if it improves. I doubt I'll ever see full 7.2 Mbps, but it would be nice to get higher than this!  |

I have to say, my first day of 3G has been great. It makes my phone infinitely more useful. I was using it to research while shopping for an oven, even downloading a 6MB PDF file, something that would have been impossible with 2G.
But holy crap does it rip through battery life!

Actually, that's just a slow day for me.
I've gotten speeds of up to 5.5Mbps.

I thought while I'm at it, I might as well test out all my connections...
My regular ISP 
Directly connected on Blackberry Bold. Don't know why my upload is so slow! Tested a couple time with the same result. 
Bluetooth on Blackberry Bold. Upload is faster using bluetooth for some reason.

No matter where I go in Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey, or Vancouver, I always get these crappy 3G speeds on my 3G iPhone.

I'm not sure what you guys are doing but I get some pretty good speeds and that's approximately average for me.
I'm using a Novatel USB stick, a Nokia N95, and an iPhone (both are tethered.)

I hate you all. Rogers Wireless, N97 NAM running at full "3.5G" in Killarney:  
But how come you guys get the Richmond server instead? I was wondering that, and tried it again using the Richmond server: 
And the Vancouver server: 
This ain't cool, man.  | |

I know that. The point is, it's much, much slower than it should be. 3.6 Mbps my foot!
