Lets see who has the biggest. 🤓

Phone: Nokia e71x  
Carrier: AT&T  
Location: Tonawanda

First test, “tethered” to my laptop via Joikuspot. (Program that turns my phone into a wifi hotspot so I’m going laptop-\>wifi-\>phone-\>cellular)  
[![http://www.speedtest.net/result/673951521.png](http://www.speedtest.net/result/673951521.png)](http://www.speedtest.net)

Second test, tethered over USB cable:

I’ll take it. Even though that upload looks a little :tif: Samsung Jack, performed on the phone thru Skyfire, AT&T 3G, 3/5 bars in Snyder.

EDIT: Generally the bigger the file the more reliable the result. I like [testmy.net](http://testmy.net) because it adjusts the file size to provide a more credible answer.

[Speedtest.net](http://Speedtest.net) app, iPhone, sitting in strong 3g coverage in Amherst.

And Fry, you really should run the test from the phone. I’ve noticed my speedtests are always a bit faster when I run them through a PC that is tethered to my phone.

Fry you n00b, you don’t need a silly ‘app’ like these other losers since your phone can use flash right in your web browser.

If the main page of ‘speedtest’ doesn’t work, use this: [http://www.speedtest.net/mini.php](http://www.speedtest.net/mini.php)

Works for me, but I closed out before it completed since my connection is stupid slow anyway… stupid slow, but stupid cheap 😉
