Hello flyinjake, everyone,

Thank you for using our application and your support. Our intention was to provide a very simple, yet accurate and powerful tool to measure the bandwidth. We are glad to hear it works well for you.

Stay tuned for more updates and visual maps of speed data on our website:

Sheesh! What network are you on?

Verizon 3G Midtown Atlanta:

Download speed is: 255.76 Kbits/s
Max speed is : 319.77 Kbits/s

Upload speed is: 257.06 Kbits/s
Max speed is: 299.4 Kbits/s

Interestingly, Cisco Global Internet Speed Test (GIST) reported my download speed as 109.5 kbps (lowercase k--what difference does that represent?) from the same location immediately after running Xtreme Labs Speedtest.

Is it technically possible for Verizon to reallocate some upload bandwidth to increase download speed?

When I ran this on my 9000, it ran over WiFi only - there's no option for testing over 3G.

Does it run over the BIS connection when testing over the phone network, or is it going to clock up data charges? My carrier charges a fortune for every byte that doesn't pass over BIS.

 
 
Posted by Sahand Sojoodi Wednesday, Mar 11, 2009 1171 days ago

Hi Dean M,
Thanks for the comment and using our app. In this version of the app, you need to disable your WiFi in order to test over the cellular network.
Also, for reliable results, the test uses some amount (less than 500KB) of data transfer. Please, use your discretion regarding data transfer costs.
Regards,
Sahand

Just viewing this site, using the BB browser on the Storm is a pain and you can't download it via Opera mini. So that leaves the DM or nowt lol. Nice app though.

OK finally got this thing to work over the phone network... don't know what happened...switched off WiFi, ran the test, it stalled, so closed the application, restarted WiFi, let it settle, ran the test again... NOW it went over the phone network! Bloody thing.

Anyway, the results for Optus Australia running over 3G is....

Upload is pretty sad though :(

Edit: seems like it doesn't do the average download correctly. Average was something like 1100 on the second try.

Edit2: On the bold at least, it does NOT seem to utilize WiFi on download, only upload. It uploads for a few seconds, then times out every time. Very buggy.

 
 
Posted by Sahand Sojoodi Wednesday, Mar 11, 2009 1171 days ago

Hi Gimik,

Thank you for using our application!

Regarding your comment about the averaging. The variability of results is an inherent problem in network traffic. In Speedtest, we are trying to mimic the user's browsing experience. So, depending on time of day, general Internet traffic in your network path, and number of background applications and processing on your phone you should be getting different results. In order to counter that and get a better sense for the average speed through your phone, I recommend running the test multiple times and take averages.

We are working on new features for the test which allow you to see your historical results and averages, etc.

Regarding your issues on the Bold WiFi: Please make sure your application is up-to-date and your WiFi connection is active. Then, run the test again and let us know if the problem persists.

Stay tuned for updates and new features as well as bug fixes in the new versions of the application.

Again, thanks for using our app and I hope that you have found it useful.

Sahand

My wife's iPhone has a speed test app that let's you choose the method (Edge, 3G, WiFi). How do you know what this app is using when testing other than the obvious after the fact?

 
 
Posted by wezra Wednesday, Mar 04, 2009 1178 days ago

All I can tell you is that it turned off 3G on my Bold and tried to run the test on EDGE. It kept timing out on the server and never ran the test fully. What a joke! Then I had to uninstall it to get 3G back running on the Bold. Not good! Sometimes you wonder why these developers release something that doesn't work right from the get go.

 
 
Posted by Sahand Sojoodi Wednesday, Mar 11, 2009 1171 days ago

Hi wezra,

Thank you for giving our app a try.

I personally have a Bold and have successfully run Speedtest more often than I probably should: on 3G/EDGE and WiFi at various locations with various reception, even on the subway coming out of a tunnel.

It is very unfortunate that the application has been a headache for you. If you'd be kind to share some info with us, I would look into finding out why the application is behaving oddly on your phone:

- What is your carrier? Is the network CDMA or GSM? What's your Bold model number? 9000?

Thanks for your time.

wasn't there another app reviewed last week that does a similar speed test? if so, which is better?

 
 
Posted by netposer Wednesday, Mar 04, 2009 1178 days ago

This is the same company that makes the iPhone app. WTF? Then they write this garbage for the BB? Take a look at how good their iPhone speed test app is compared to the BB app.

After installing this App and trying to run the test my Bold fell off the 3G network and won't go back on.. and the test kept coming up with the error message, "Your connection to the server timed out! Please try again later". It does this on one or the other. So I am uninstalling it and doing a battery pull in hopes it will go back on 3G and off of EDGE.

Come on guys... get this right before releasing something like this to the public!!!!!

Hi wezra,

Please refer to my response to your original post. I hope that it helps you.

We are sorry that using our application has been frustrating for you and would love to have the opportunity to work with you to fix this specific bug on your phone. I have tens of thousands of speedtest results from Bold users in the database thanks to the tremendous support from the community of users such as yourself.

Thanks for your time,

Down / up is 3564.61 kbps / 646.32 kbps. Max is 3597.12 / 1136.36. Over WiFi. This is fun, but it's actually useful for testing connectivity. Good tool.

I just downloaded Xtreme Lab's Speedtest and I am hitting about 300kbs DL and 250kbs upload in a supposed Verizon "3G" EVDO area. While this is still lower than Verizon claims on their website for averages in 3G coverage areas, I am more interested/concerned in the variance between Xtreme Lab's speed test and Cisco's. I also downloaded that app when you first posted it the other week and my averages on their test system is MUCH lower at only 75kbs DL.

Any thoughts on why this happens and which is a true indicator of DL/UL speeds?

Much thanks and Happy 2nd Birthday!

Curve 8330, Verizon. Location: Philadelphia, PA USA.

I am VERY satisfied with my browser speed, before and after I downloaded this cool app, but I am considering moving from Verizon to AT&T to take advantage of their new family-share data plan, where everyone in the family gets unlimited data. For 1500 shared minutes, would be ~$230, which is what I am paying now for Verizon with two unlimited data plans & three non-smart phones (five family members). The question is whether AT&T's service is as good as Verizon's & whether I should just wait for Verizon to match AT&T's plan given my general satisfaction with Verizon berry service.

What would help, is if you state whether you

A- Ran the test on Wi-Fi, 3G, Edge, or GPRS
B- Where you are located
C- Signal Strength
D- Carrier

Make sure you have wifi turned off to test network speeds
Make sure you have 3G turned off for edge speed tests

then can we really see the data for what it is....

These were tested for the first time while I was at work in a medium sized one-story mainly brick complex building. This wing of the bulding has no windows but one wall is an outside wall. Edge speeds seem rather slow here. If anyone is interested in Edge speeds in the dayton area I can continue to post my findings..

Cool app tho.. nice to play with or to test the data network with to see if its working properly.

Useless on the Storm ... no wi-fi capability. I'm averaging 130kbps on the 1XEV network wherever I go bidirectional according to Cisco GIST on my Storm OS v .109 on Verizon. I'm liking the stability and consistency, disappointed with the network speed. Don't see how this "speed test" will improve my mood ...

According to this app my average DL speed is 475 kbps and upload is 422 kbps ... with peaks above that ... the Cisco GIST speed test was showing me at 133 kbps up and down ... I was ready to rip someone's head off at Verizon. Now I'm head-hunting Cisco employees ...

Does anyone know where the server used to run this test is located? I want to make sure my slow downloads (average 100Kbits/s over 3G on Bold - AT&T) aren't due to the server being somewhere crazy.

Not everyone's posted their locations, but I'm in CT and I know a Bold user in CA is having the same problem. Chicago, though, seems to be great. I'm getting my Bold replaced because of this today anyway, but I wanted to check.

Edit: Xtremelabs is located in Toronto, so that's probably where the server is. That could explain why Chicago's doing so well.

Then again, could the distance between Connecticut and Toronto really explain a 900Kbits/s speed reduction?

Not sure why this app isnt working correctlly on my Storm. It runs the download test fine, but when it gets to the upload test it hangs between 38-41% and never finishes. I've reinstalled it several times. I've edited its permissions and left them to default. At work or at home it does the samething. I've tried it in different locations and it runs the same way everytime.

has no support for On my Wifi connection at home my download max speed was 892.37 avg. speed was same 892.37.
Upload speed was 109.32 max and avg. speed was 33.82

Now with T-Mobile Edge my dload speed was 367.16 and the max was still showing from my wifi max speed. And my Upload speed was 109.32 max and avg. 33.63.

Huge difference, but anytime I am at home I use my wifi connection anytime I am on the internet with my BB, or just checking my email and such.
But away from home I'm stuck with T-Mobile Edge, the Blackberry Curve G
Gonna change phones in a few months when I can upgrade.

Thanks for the link to the app.

Avg. Upload Speed: 115.83Kbits/s

What factors determine the download and upload speed?

And is there anything I can do personally to help my blackberry run the fastest possible? Or is it a network and location thing?

Thanks in advance!

Bad news, the .jad file has disappeared.
Good news, bbtweeps.com has it up on their servers.

Go to http://bbtweeps.com/files/php/speedtest.php for the OTA link.
