This is something strange I've come up against lately with my cell phone (if this belongs in the mobile phones forum, I apologize) When I run a speedtest on my phone (using the speedtest.net app) I'm getting insanely low speeds, 300kbps is a SPIKE and often I get 80kbps or less... but the phone reliably loads webpages quickly...
Today I instead went to an old standby, toast.net and did their (non-app/non-flash) speedtest, and it consistently got 1.2-1.8mbps, spiking at 2.2mbps! This is consistent with the speed the websites load at, and with what speeds I've always gotten on this connection in the past...
So is Speedtest.net not reliable? is it unreliable for cellular only? or is toast.net misreporting my speeds?
