[Q] Internet speed on my Nexus S

---

I read alot about people getting 3mb download speed, i never ever got more then 600kb...any ideas? is it my phone? or T-mobile service?

BTW with my X MyTouch 4g i got around 4.5mb (i know that the NS don't do 4g but still...)
I am in the Los Angeles area, Sherman oaks to be exact

Its all about the Network in your area, but if what your saying is true and your MT4G got 4.5 down then your NS should get that speed as well

When you get 600kbps, does your Nexus S show that it has a 3G connection?

Also, have you exceeded your 5GB monthly data cap?

just thought of this, are you mistaking kbps to kb/s if it is kb/s then your speed is golden

kbps and kb/s are the same thing. I think you were trying to distinguish between kB/s and kb/s or kBps and kbps.

ya, my bad damn that capital B, hes such a Bastard :P

but yea you get what i mean

Yes, i am on 3G.
No, not even close to 5GB data cap

speedtest.net shows
657 kbps download and 1255 kbps upload

So no problem with the upload but download seems a bit slow for a phone and network that are capable to do 7.2MB, no?

wierd, you should be getting same results. I had a nexus one, had high 3.0mbs to low 4mb. with the nexus s i get about .4-.8mbs higher, have hit 5mbs alot.

thing is, i believe with future radio updates this thing will smooth out in regards to loyalty in staying in that arena, i have noticed some dropped out 3g coverage on occasion and no refresh after coming out of a subway..which was just wierd.

**just think of it this way, the nexus one got massive improvements after 6months of it existing and then perfected in the last 2-3 months. the nexus s should have the same principles.**

Hi, I have a question for the Nexus S owners.

Did you get your cellphone for $200 with a contract, or $529 without one, or did you find a way to get them cheaper?

And don't you mind that the Nexus S don't support HSPA+ networks?

I am considering buying one.

Thank you.

not the right place to ask this question but ill answer cause your new here

paid full price, because its cheaper to pay full price and get an even more plus plan

Nexus S speed cap is 7.2 down and 5ish up..which is plenty fast,
