3G Speed on Kaiser

[GermanGuy]

So we finally have 3G in Minneapolis. But i am disappointed about the actual 3G speed. I have HSPA enabled and only get speeds between 350 and 600 kbits/sec. I was in Germany 2 weeks ago and with a Vodafone pre-paid SIM Card i was routinely getting speeds between 800 kbits/sec to 1.2 mb/sec.
Is ATT 3G in the USA inferior to 3G in Germany?

As i am trying to figure this out, i do notice that i only connect to the internet using Medianet. I do not have an isp through ATT. Does an ISP connection make a significant difference as far as 3G speed is concerned?

[GermanGuy]

What speeds are you guys getting her in Minneapolis?

[laakness]

Those sound like pretty standard 3G speeds for the region. I am getting the same speeds in Milwaukee which isn't that far away from you.

I get 750 in detroit

I use isp.cingular for 3G and see speeds between 567 and 997 mb/s. I'm very pleased with the increase.

What are you using to test the speed with? Let me know and I'll test it. I'm in Roseville right now...I live in Mpls so I can test that later tonight.

#1 375 kbit/sec on a 1MB file.

#2 513 kbit/sec on a 1MB file.

#3 321 kbit/sec on a 1MB file.

Question: isp.cingular did you call cingular to request your account to be setup for it? I had it working before but now I get an error saying the modem is not responding.
As for speeds with 3g the fastest I ever reached was 1046 kbit/s now I get 774 kbit/s roughly.

WOW!! That is damn fast:)

kb/s I think...

Keep in mind that whenever I've run a speed test with PIE, it's always reported a far slower speed than other browsers...

3G and HSDPA are two different thing, HSDPA is also known as 3.5G, the results you get is about right.
