3g speedtests

Options
im having difficulty with my iphone 3g phone on orange, anytime i try to connect to internet outside my home it takes ages compared to my friends phones/networks

so i done a speedtest via my3gspeedtes.com and it comes in at 1.34mbps

does this seem normal?

have contacted orange and they are useless, only got until 2nd January and ive told them i will be moving elsewhere

managed to downgrade my contract also for last couple of months

can anyone advise on speedtest

    1.34 on a mobile should be relatively quick and not abnormal , Ive just did mine and here is the result

    but still works ok
    markeymark must think he is in heaven with speed like that...must be next door to the Orange mask.

    Yeah must agree there 3 is the best when it comes to internet speed

    Orange is suppose to be upgrading 3g with t-mobile so speed should increase soon hopefully

    i have Orange and 3 mobiles so get best of both.

    While your bandwidth 1.3Mbps is fine for a mobile. Well it's ok. I've seen people on Voda and 3 get close to or over 4Mbps.

    you problem could be the latency. What is your Ping?

    Take reading from multiple locations. If you can find the nearest transmitter in your city and take some readings in view of that, then post here.

    The fastest I've ever managed to get was with a Vodafone 3G Data Sim in an iPad.

    It was a Download speed of:

    4197kbps (4.2Mb)


    On my iPhone (with T-Mobile) I normally get around 1800kbps (1.8Mb).
