Just to compare what speeds people get in with wifi in relation to the same test ran on the same connection from a pc!
My phone using speedtest.net app connected via wifi is showing 3mbit, my pc with the same speed test shows 20mbit?
If anyone can post the results as below so I can see if its just me..

Like I said, its just numbers to me.
But now you say that, I've just tested my data connection, getting 2.32 with that. You'd think it'd be much faster with wifi wouldn't you.
What radio are you using?... I'm using 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26,... maybe should have a play trying a few diff ones and re-testing.
I'll have a play tomorrow evening if you want me to?... as long as swapping and changing radios is safe to do.

what do you enable to get the revA speeds?
I am on the 3.2.3 rom and the .3 radio.
I just ran "mobilespeedtest" and ger 349 to 645.3 kps.
What am I doing wrong?
I have already.

I am sure there is a simple setting I forgot about.

It is on by default with the latest Radio ROMs if it is available in your area. Anything above 256K/sec I believe is REV A speeds. I get any where from 150K to 1meg depending on the signal strength.
you people need to clarify Kbps/KBps/Mbps/MBps.
Big difference between bits and bytes...I've been getting 600kbps or 84KBps (plently fast for surfing) with crappy signal strength. I'll have to do some more testing with it.

I use http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed so what ever units they are using is my units that I quoted above.
EDIT: with a 30% signal strength on EVDO I get 194 kbit/sec but have gotten upwards to 1 mbit/sec with full strength.

That is not correct, as non RevA has speed bursts that is capable of getting up there.
I'm running the stock VZW rom and with full EVDO signal (non RevA) I've gotten speeds in excess of 600kbps

1xrtt, 1xEVDO, 1xEVDO-REV-A Lesson ,,,, again
Ok here it is,
I Do this for a living so here it is for real : 1xRTT shares voice resources, download speed max is 153.6kbps, up is 56k. 1xEVDO is an overlay with dedicated radio channels and up to 4 T1 spans connected directly to the front of the DOM (Data Only Module) with max theoretical download speed of 2.4mbps and max upload of 153.6kbps, this due to the reverse being similar to standard CDMA. REV-A is same sort of DOM but now called a DOM-A and has a max theoretical download speed of 3.5mbps and upload of 1.8mbps because the reverse link is true EVDO. If there is only 1 T1 on the DOM you will not exceed 1.54, actually 1.2 because of overhead bits, and remember also about EVDO that speeds drop more sharply with signal loss than 1xRTT does. There is no REV-A active indicator on the 6800, but it is now on by default, so if it is there you will have it.
Anyone got an upstream test I can run to test for RevA speeds? My download speeds have not changed since I upgraded.

Ok, I just did a speed test using DCD's 3.2.5 ROM with radio 3.24.50 ROM.

http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/
Download Speed: 1861 kbps (232.6 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 588 kbps (73.5 KB/sec transfer rate)

SETUP:
I hooked up my phone via USB, went to Comm Manager, turned on internet sharing, clicked "Connect" on the screen. then I disabled all my other network adapters, and unplugged any internet cables. I disabled the WiFi and the Internal NIC, and unplugged the cat5 from the NIC. Also, I got my IP from 'whatismyip.org' and ran a WhoIS, and it was a Verizon IP. So this is the most clean/variable free test you can get. I had full bars too, but I do not know how far I am from the nerest tower. Just thought I would share that.

I would have liked to see you run the speed test on the device with at least PIE in the same location at about the same time to see the difference.
It certianly seems to me that while the phone can achieve fast speeds, the software and amount of free resources based on other applications running will have a major impact on the speeds you see. As I Posted earlier the speed in IE, Opera, and while tethered were dramatically different.. all performed within 5 minutes of each other in the same place.
Just because you dont see major speed on the speed tests does not mean Rev A isn't working.
I didn't have to do anything for my Rev. A to work. I am tethered to my laptop and get amazingly fast speeds with only 1 bar of signal strength. I am in Des Moines, IA and love my Sprint PCS!

im getting 1600 kb/s download speed with wmwifirouter and 1000 kb/s with pdanet. havent tried ICS.
I'm in fort worth tx and my speeds fluctuate from 50 to about 350kbs. The prl is 60613 and the rom is 3.56, radio is 3.42.02 and pri is 2.04-003. The last month or 2 the data speeds have been slow as molasses. That's tethering with pdnet and pie on the phone. Could somebody throw me a bone on this. Thanks.
Anyone test their speeds using Internet Connection Sharing? I did a bandwidth test from the phone and got 8.9 Mbits download and 3.6 Mbits upload. Then I then did a test from my laptop and I got 3.5 Mbits upload but my download would not go above 0.6 Mbits. Anyone else noticed this problem?

This phone is capable of 14.4 Mbps, not just 7.2 Mbps. My Carrier is capable of 21 Mbps. This was not the issue. The issue was getting over 8 Mbit/s download speeds on the Titan, but when using Internet Connection Sharing the speed would not be greater them 0.6 Mbit/s. This was tested right after the initial test. The upload speed was very similar though.
As is my understanding, you will never achieve the same speeds when using ICS.
When your phone is communicating with the internet, it is dealing with one lot of data being sent and one lot of data being returned.
But when connecting your computer via your phone, your phone has to take that data from your computer, then pass it on. So it is dealing with one lot of data to/from your computer, and another lot of data (the same data!) to/from the internet - So you are doubling the amount of work the phone does. Your phone only has the one radio chip for this data, so it has to alternate between all the incoming and outgoing data.
You get the same slow-down on home wifi networks if you use a wifi repeater.

I understand that it will be less, but to go from over 8 Mbits on the phone to 0.6 Mbits on my laptop is more then what one should expect as a penalty for connecting thru the phone.
Even with your example of using a wifi repeater the bandwidth is only halved, and that is because the link is using the same frequency band over both hops. In the case of the phone, Internet Connection Sharing is acting like a home router with the cell frequency side the equivalent of the wan port and the software is providing NAT to clients connected on the 2.4ghz wifi connection side so there is no penalty for using the same frequency band.
As I also stated the upload from the phone and the upload from my laptop are the same, around 3.5 Mbits. What I was asking is if other people have had this same discrepancy when using Internet Connection Sharing. Even if the results from just the phone were ignored, the fact that I only got 0.6 Mbits download vs 3.5 Mbits upload thru the phone tells me something is not working properly.
If anyone is seeing this discrepancy between upload and dowload speeds with Internet Connection Sharing let me know.

Have tried same SIM different phone? Different SIM same phone?
It could well be your provider!
I can get 20MBPS down and 15 MBPS uploads on this phone, but my MS is around 110.
Does anyone know of any tweaks or changes I can make to improve the MS/ping?
Thanks!
MS just stands for milliseconds. You can't really talk about improving the ms
Anyway, ping is just the measurement of the time it takes for a signal to get to the server and back. It's a physical distance. The only way to improve it, is to move closer to the server.
On a mobile device, the signal is required to travel via mobile masts, and satalites, hence the ping will be higher than your desktop's wired link. You can't really improve it.
Hope this helps!
Chris.

I know what ping and latency and MS are, but thanks for the help.
I don't think you are right. Can't different radio/modem drivers change things? What about tweaks? For example, on Windows running Leatrix Latency Fix lowers latency a TON! Is there anything like this for a android phone? (Galaxy S3 - Verizon)

No, because of the nature of HSDPA (Even H+) you can't really get low latency, maybe around 100 milliseconds at best. The real low latency wireless currently on market is probably LTE, which still would get you around 20 - 50ms versus. 5-10ms on a wired connection.
Connection speed itself has nothing to do with latency 5mbps connection on same technology would have exactly same latency as 10mbps one. Higher speed connection technologies just tend to be bit more advanced infrastructure and that way have less latency.

Hey guys, I have fios with 50/25 mbps I can get around 40 with my laptop but my note is getting low teens. I switched from a wep security to wpa2 security whichever increased my wifi on my laptop but not on my phones (note 2 and ssg3).
Any ideas how to increase this? Am I missing a setting when connecting to wifi? At the moment, my 4g is faster than my wifi.
Upload speeds are fine... Actually higher than my download speeds. Seems like something is restricting my download speed.
Thanks in advance.

I have FiOS as well and encounter the same "problem...". My chrombook gets above 40 Mbps and my Note 2 gets around 18-25 even standing next to my router...I just think its the way it is to be honest...I really don't know but just wanted to share that I'm seeing the same thing here...it really doesn't inhibit my experience at all 18-25 Mbps is perfectly fine for cell phone downloads etc.

Same set up here...with similar results. I did some research on this as my ipad2 (which is now in a drawer thanks to the Note 2 BTW) wasn't getting anywhere near the speed I would have expected despite it supposedly being N compatible (my lenovo laptop gets 45 Mbps down all the time). Best answer I could find is that not all wireless radios are equal and can't handle the same speeds.
I have a 25 download connection on FIOS, and am sitting in my living room about ten feet from my router. I just ran a test on my laptop and phone via speedtest.net, and got 24/5 on the laptop and 25/6 on the Note 2. Initially I was going to respond to your post and say I am used to the same result you are seeing, but I just proved myself wrong.
When I'm in other parts of the house however, I do tend to see more of a performance degradation on the phone vs. the laptop...I don't have any exact data at the moment since I'm feeling too lazy to walk upstairs and repeat the test, but I do know the falloff happens more rapidly on the phone with distance from the router.
This is what I get on my Comcast 50/15 connection.
Desktop hardwired: 59Mbps down / 12Mbps up
Desktop wireless: 55Mbps down / 12Mbps up
Note 2: 40Mbps down / 16Mbps up
My desktop on wireless connects at 144Mbps, while my Note 2 only connects at 72Mbps. Both are within 4' of the router. Both using the same SpeedTest.net server.
I've noticed a huge difference in WiFi speeds between the different radios, the one that had given me the best spotted on WiFi is VRAMC3. The one that gives me the best speed on LTE is L4. The speed definitely differs from which radio you flash, that's why I wish Samsung would give our devs access to their radio tools and let us build our own. I guarantee if they did we wouldn't see this kind of crap.

My router : D-Link
Testing : Ookla speed test.
By the way i saw many threads regardimg this problem with cm13 in other sites..
But non has solved it..
I tried to Change DNS but nup..
D-Link what? What model specifically.
I believe the RN3 only has 1x1 MIMO antenna so only 72mbps for 2.4Ghz and 433mbps for 5Ghz AC.
on 2.4Ghz, I get around 70mbps, and 5ghz, I get around 200 mbps
Personnally Wi-Fi is working fine for me on my Kate device with the CM13 build for Kenzo.
With the speedtest.net app I can max out my Internet connection speed at 43 mbps.
Hi!
My internet speed is 200 download/100 upload. On my laptop get around 80/80 via wifi, but on my phone only 50/50. All this near the router (no AC, just N).
Can someone confirm the maximum speed RN3 Pro SD650 can handle via wifi N?
Cheers! : )
