Gave it a try and its a cool app but I will say that if Im using it correctly and reading it rite then I think my signal is way low. the results are my high= 53 world high= 2641, my avg= 49 world avg= 132 and my low = 42, world low= 10, this is my cellular test results in Kbps.

But I am indoors, at work, where my signal sucks. I'll try it tonight at home where I get an awesome signal.

An application that tests your 3G connection and no way to get it OTA?

I'm trying to dl the speed test for the blackberry storm directly from the storm, but have not been able to. I zoomed in, refreshed the page but to no avail. Anyone else have this problem and can help? Thanks!

From Cisco's website when clicking BB version a new window opens with instructions but no download button.

Installed it on Verizon Storm - 4.7.0.76. I clicked on indoors and it has been contacting server... for last 5 mins. Same result 3xs. Any solutions?

From various locations in Northern Colorado. Indoors and in the car. Probably within a four mile radius.

high 244
ave 162
low 80

I'd love to know what kind of sppeds VF's much-lauded 3G+ network really does achieve. But this app just could not connect to the server after about 10 attempts. I also notices my app memory went through the floor - could be coincidence, but I've uninstalled for now. Also, the text on the blue buttons is too big and cannot be read

 
 
Posted by JRoadZ Tuesday, Feb 24, 2009 1083 days ago

It says "CELLULAR Contacting server... 2/24/09 11:34 AM" and its been like that for 15 minutes already.

I changed the permissions to all Allow in Options > Advanced Options > Applications

and I also turned my GPS on in Options > Advanced Options.

No such luck for me...I am indoors in Times Square, NYC. Blackberry Storm 9530 running OS 4.7.0.103. Verizon never had a problem here in the building. I'm sitting next to a window staring at the New Years Eve ball. They did install wireless repeaters on each of the floors here to boost all the carriers signals (but I know its specifically T-Mobile who's signal always dropped in the elevator banks, LOL :P )

Anyways, any suggestions on getting this to work?? Previously I would tether my Blackberry Storm 9530 to my PC and just went to www.speakeasy.net/speedtest

I ran the Cisco Gist test on my storm running on Verizon. The results are as follows

your high=89 kbps
your average=73 kbps
your low=43 kbps

Doesn't this seem rather slow. Has anyone else run this on their storm with Verizon. I would be curious to compare results

Nice App will try! But also for those who have orb, you can see your speed at the bottom of the page when you visit mycast.orb.com on your phone

I'm in the Charleston, SC area with Verizon.

 
 
Posted by cadsystems Tuesday, Feb 24, 2009 1083 days ago

I ran one this morning indoors 267, then one @ lunch 205, then tried outdoors 220. Avg is 231.

I think I go to a larger metropolitan at the end of the week, i will try there.

Any Idea if this will be available for the bold?

 
 
Posted by gozirra Tuesday, Feb 24, 2009 1083 days ago

I tried several times, indoors and outdoors, it says its connecting to the server, I give it 10 minutes, and never get a result. Verizon in Portland Oregon. Kinda surprised it doesn't have an OTA install as well. Looks like the infrastructure isn't quite ready for primetime yet.

verizon network in utah.

 
 
Posted by deke09 Tuesday, Feb 24, 2009 1083 days ago

I got a 79 inside, so I went outside and scored an 85. Then I did that Verizon *228 thing to possibly upgrade my roaming capabilities just in case and scored a whopping 66...

Is this ridiculous? Is this what Verizon 3G is all about?

 
 
Posted by robertw0925 Tuesday, Feb 24, 2009 1083 days ago

I'm in Houston TX, ran it 7 times inside and outside
high-282
avg-178
low-133

got 282 outside and 279 inside
seems to jump around as the wind blows
for a 3g network i would think that this sucks
wifi would be nice

 
 
Posted by blackberryitalian Tuesday, Feb 24, 2009 1083 days ago

anybody from european union?

I can't be able to use this application

no result every time

 
 
Posted by buckeye1970 Tuesday, Feb 24, 2009 1083 days ago

this is giving some kind of misleading results. If I teather
my storm and do a speedtest at speakesy.net I get 1.5 mbps or right around that it varies but always real high. I was wondering why it seems so slow browsing on the storm then teather and my laptop goes super fast. any ideas?

 
 
Posted by buckeye1970 Tuesday, Feb 24, 2009 1083 days ago

Just thought I would say just so you guys dont think its the 3g that slows your storm down! I set up networks the wifi I set up at work. I was curious. A guy I work with just got the new curve 8900 and was on our wifi that is connnected to a 45 mbps router we loaded crackberry side by side my storm on 3g against his curve running wifi I loaded faster than he did.

 
 
Posted by buckeye1970 Tuesday, Feb 24, 2009 1083 days ago

Its the ability of the phone to process data more than actual speed available. Just the teathering tells us that.

Indoors with 3 bars (2x):

Like some of the posters before me, I just get "Contacting Server..." I've tried at the office where we have VZW repeaters in the building, at the house, and random places between the two. I'm not seeing any indication of network activity. I wonder if my BES server is interfering with it?

 
 
Posted by The Reverend Tuesday, Feb 24, 2009 1083 days ago

For all of you looking for the link to download the app, in the first sentence of the download and installation page, are BLUE LETTERS that is what some of us internet users call a LINK. That LINK, when clicked will start the download process.
Sorry I couldnt resist. I had a problems finding it at first, too. Downloaded, but have yet to install.
FWIW, My storm got beat in a internet "race" by a the new curve. I've been somewhat dissapointed in the speed of this 3G network. Kinda scared to actually run this app.

 
 
Posted by bubbyspencer Wednesday, Feb 25, 2009 1082 days ago

all i got was a lousy 120 kb/s on my storm

 
 
Posted by anderl72 Wednesday, Feb 25, 2009 1082 days ago

nice app :) works for me in the Netherlands with Vodafone. Their network appear a lot slower (average 65kps) to the T-mobile network used by my colleague with the i****e :(

West Texas vzw 9530

indoors and in vehicle

high - 121
avg. - 100
low - 86

seems a little low no?

 
 
Posted by Jeff Stone Wednesday, Feb 25, 2009 1082 days ago

I checked the other mobile platforms and found other alternatives. Specifically I tried Speedtest on my iPod Touch and it seemed to work well and is also available on BlackBerry.

Posted by gatewayad Wednesday, Feb 25, 2009 1082 days ago

Was curious and downloaded because I like all the cool colors..... Ha! anyway i too was a little disapointed in the results i received
High 274
Avg. 208
Low 133

compaired to world averages the high is very low and the average and low are..... well... a little above average

Now it does say that it only measures conections made by Cisco GIST? Maybe they do not have great coverage in my area. I will say with .109 and as well as on .103 my connection speed thru the browser, bolt, Viigo or any of the other apps i have seem prety d a m fast.

NE Florida
High=88
Avg=81
Low=69

How accurate is this test really? Because to me this seems disappointingly SLOW. When I try speed tests via internet they are all over the place! What do I believe?
