Test your mobile speed

verizon wireless' mobile internet is capibable of speeds up to 128kbps... and for me i got connected at 115.5 (or so says winxp). maybe you could increase the time limit?

reply to justin
hmm clearly I need to tweak it some more

reply to justin
version2

»/mspeed

now with added options.
The first page displays various things about your mobile browser, gleaned from the headers it sends.

Pick the appropriate file size depending on what you know about the speed of your browser.

The last page displays the estimated kilobits per second.

Using Sony Ericsson & AT&T EDGE card.

This thread came at a great time! I have been looking for a way to test this.

T-Mobile/GSM/GPRS/Treo 600

Got an anemic 20kbit when the cell is working (now), 10kbit when struggling (earlier), and 0 when it is down.

Mine was a weak 32kb with AT&T - IPAQ connected through a Sony Ericsson T68i via Bluetooth.

Using: Sanyo 5300 on SprintPCS with vision and laptop

Hooked up the phone via usb cable to the laptop and connected with the snapdialer software (which is utter crap ) and I did several tests on all the speedtests there, and I got speeds fluctuating from 34k/sec to as much as 88k/sec.

The things I do for love...

can you not test direct from the phone? I think it SHOULD work ok even on basic phone browsers? if not .. what happens?

reply to justin
I tried it on the phone, and it just sits there - doesn't work on my phone's browser. Dunno what's wrong with it - the page loads great, I highlight the 50k test link, it goes to the page saying testing is in progress, and then nothing. It just sits on the progress page. And it doesn't look as if data is transfering any more.

That's weird - on the laptop it worked fine.

ah
testing in progress is the page - what should happen AFTER that is the redirection. If your browser doesn't handle javascript, which lurks at the end of the page out of sight, it will not redirect. I'm trying an alternative approach for this soon.

What kind of browser is it? it shows on the speed test title page in the user agent line?

--------------------------
Just to be clear it's 144Kbps. Many of my tests are 140Kbps at 2wire.com, the testing site Verizon prefers.

reply to Descent

reply to justin
All the tests work perfect my PDA phone. Samsung i700 PPC2002. The fastest listed was 107 Kbps.

SprintPCS 144 Kb/s Vision Network
Hitachi G1000 PPC phone

50 k test - 48 kbit
100 k test - 77 kbit
200 k test - 64 kbit
500 k test - 77 kbit

repeted tests show an average of about 70 kbits but SPB GPRS Monitor consistantly shows 130 Kbit/s

I'm using Reqwireless Webviewer Lite (Webviewer with graphics stripped out) Java browser on my phone through T-Mobile GPRS. I don't get past the redirect announcement.

If I use my built in Moto WAP browser, it won't load.

WAP is a sooo touchy

it works ok on a WAP emulator, but with more data I can figure this out.

The redirect announcement is a bear. Your browser has to support javascript of some kind to get past that, although their are fallbacks. I appreciate your testing this out.

reply to justin
had to run it through my usb cable because the phone browser wouldnt redirect.

50k 208 kbit/sec
100k 498 kbit/sec
