On my laptop I get 30 ms ping times and 20 mbps speed. My View sitting right next to the laptop gets 300 ms ping times and 6 mbps download.
In other words, it sucks.
Any ideas?
Huh.
Tried forgetting my wifi connection and reconnecting. This seemed to help quite a bit. Ping time dropped way down to 52 and speed increased to 11 mbps.

Whenever I do the speed test with my phone, the highest score I've been able to get is 1.27 mbps, but on average its about .80. I live near chicago so I figured I'd get better speeds and I noticed many people are getting up to 5 mbps.
Is there a radio update I need or is this the phone, or is it the area? I test it when i'm outside with clear skies and it stills only shows that much.
I usually get great speeds. My maximum has been near 7 mbit/sec down., and my average is 3 mbit/s.
When I hold my phone tightly, the signal goes down, but I never lose a call or any bandwidth. Try putting the phone on a table.
When I had my G1 I was having crappy speeds (maximum 1.5 mbit/s down, average 0.8 mbit/s) compared to what T-Mobile is capable of. Your problems could be location. Maybe, just maybe, it's the device, but I highly doubt that.
have u try to installed Lagfix? just my 2 cents.
Yes I did. Its been great for the overall function on the phone, but hasn't really affected the date speed.
I read most of the posts here; but, seldom post. I wanted to determine how badly my WiFi drops off, if it in fact does. What follows is the result of my unscientific testing.
My Prime is serial BCOKASxxxxx.
I have a Linksys E4200 Wireless unit on the second floor of my wood framed house in Anchorage, Alaska.
With the prime approximately 4 feet from the router, I downloaded a 37Mb PDF two times and timed the process. One took 43 seconds, the the second took 41 seconds. I quickly went out of the house onto the edge of the street approximately 50 feet from the router and downloaded the same file two more times (from the same server). This time, the downloads took 124 seconds and 132 seconds. Browser used was Dolphin.
That seems to be a significant difference; but, I don't know what the numbers really mean.
I next repeated the test with my Dell XPS Laptop running the latest FireFox with a download accelerator running and obtained 19 seconds, and 23 seconds.
Out to the street (exact same location), and the times were 27 seconds and 32 seconds.
I did some math, and determined that the Prime took 3 times longer to download the same file at 50 feet from the router, than it did at 4 feet.
The Dell took 1.4 times as long.
Of course, there are variables (different browsers and a download accelerator); still, that seems to verify (at least to me) that the WiFi in the Prime is somewhat weaker than other devices (based on only a sample of one).

I have a c2oka series prime. Made a comparison downloading a 37 MB file from my providers website (mysql.netvisao.pt) about 10 mts away from my belkin 600 router with my sgs2 and my prime, using Dolphin HD in both cases. The results were very clear! The prime took 1 min 25 secs to complete the download while the sgs2 did the same job in 40 seconds.
There is no doubt that something is very wrong with Prime's wifi.
1) this is a known issue, you could have posted this in the "known issues with prime" thread on the main page
2) time of download is irrelevant for this, why not just use the speedtest app that tells you how much bandwith you are getting in Mb/s? Test it at different distances 3x each distance, average the #s you have a good idea of exactly how much Mb/s bandwidth you lose/foot or w/e you want to do with the math.
In the short time I've owned my TP, I've been seeing very inconsistent performance of Wi-Fi connections. The short answer is that turning off mixed mode on my routers has drastically improved performance and consistency.
For those who don't know what I mean, the routers have a setting for Network mode with settings like "Wireless G Only", "Wireless N Only" and Mixed meaning that both can be used.
My routers are both Cisco/Linksys, one an E3200 and the other an E2500. The mode on the 2500 was set to N only because that one is used solely for streaming video to my 2 TV's which both have N available. The E3200 was in mixed mode because we have a mix laptops, one of which is an older model that doesn't have N.
On the router with mixed mode, the TP would be reporting Good to Excellent signal strength and connection speeds of 50 - 65 Mbps. However actual performance on the TP would be very inconsistent and speedtest.net usually only reported 3 Mbps. When I tried connecting to the router that was N only, I suddenly started getting a consistent 20 - 25 Mbps.
So, on the E3200 that was previously set to mixed mode, I changed it to G only and now I'm getting 20 - 25 Mbps out of that one too. I had to make it G only instead of N to accommodate the old laptop. Anyway, that change completely cured my wifi issues - at least at home. I haven't taken it on the road yet but obviously I can't control the settings on someone else router.
For reference, on my desktop PC that is wired into the E3200 router, speedtest.net consistently reports about 31 - 32 Mbps (Charter cable promises me 30 so they are true to their word). So with mixed mode turned off, the TP isn't getting that much less speed than the desktop's wired connection.
So I recently upgraded from an older router, to a newer dual band 2.4, 5 N600 router and the connection speeds for my tablet are very low. I have a 30/30 connection speed and the prime is the only device that has download speeds at times of 200 kbps, up to about 12 mbps. I have adjusted the MTU, and I am wondering if anyone out there knows of a setting on the router that might be affecting the speed of the tablet. Also when I adjusted the MTU from 1500 to 1400 it greatly affected the Prime's speeds, I did get a couple of 1 kbps down load speed test before the adjustment.
Thanks.
I have been using Speedtest.net to measure network performance and rarely I sometimes end up with 4G (HSPA+) with a high latency of 600ms ping instead of the typical 60-120ms. What is strange is that if I then switch over to Wifi, the latency is 50-70 ms instead of the typical 10-15 ms and the bandwidth is only 12-15 Mbps instead of 25-30 Mbps download. The problem goes away if I then reboot the phone, where HSPA+ is back to 60-100ms ping and Wifi is again 15 ms with 25-30 Mbps download speed. Any idea what the issue is - do I have a defective radio? The problem has occurred twice so far since I got my phone on Monday.

I have noticed the same ...could be issues with the way the app is testing...I have yet to notice any latency loading pages.
