how fast is your wifi ipad speeds?

comcast here, 8GB plan...I average between 9 and 15 GBs. i have a smallish 2 bedroom apartment so distance from router is not an issue.

yikes...replace GB with MB please...i'm asleep at the wheel

I get over 22 down and 20 up.

I have verizon fios 25/25 and have clocked max of about 19-20

Insight Communications, about 9MB/s normally.

With Comcast I have seen only about 10Mb/sec on my iPad. I get around 20Mb/sec on my desktop with a wired connection to the router.

That pretty much matches my Comcast account in Central Illinois.

I haven't seen over 22 mbit/sec, even though I have seen up to 38mbit/sec on my desktop and notebook. (And confirmed that the Macbook can do it both wired and WiFi.)

I suspect that the WiFi speed is constrained by some hardware or software limitation. Apple's been getting better on this, as my iPhone 3G was limited to 5mbit/second, and I know the 3GS is better.

Of course, Speedtest, etc. really isn't the right way to test this. I'm a developer, and am thinking of porting iPerf to iPhone/iPad since nobody seems to have done it. iPerf is a client/server for testing throughput between any two points. So, you could install the server on some computer on your LAN, and run the client on your iPhone/iPad.

(Only thing I cam across in Google searches was some developer offering a lowball $100 on Rent-a-Coder to port it. I think the listing died.)

I get on average 10Mbit on mine. I am connected with a Linksys WRT610N and a 40Mbit Cable Connection.

ATT High Speed Internet Basic

2.5- 3MBPS....

Virgin Uk .. download is always good, but severe restrictions on upload.

What speed of Virgin connection do you have? 50mbit?

Comcast 10GB plan (or around that idr). I get about 10mb/s avg but depends on how close I am... if I'm in my room (about 60 ft away from office) it's very weak at about 2mb/s

BrightHouse ,Roadrunner Lightening

24/27 last test, this puppy anywhere in the house is wicked fast.Pages load "instantly" Incredible!!!
BTW, until we had it installed I had no bars on my iPad showing,now I have full bars.Leads me to believe, people with no bars showing have router issues

13.4mbps down

Correct .. 50MB and its always pretty constant.

At home around 800 down and 125 up, at work the g router max out at 1,5mb down and 500 up.
So the iPad isn't the weakest link in my Internet connections.

Comcast cable modem here. 14.28 down and 2.92 up a minute ago using speedtest.

Hey,

Check out this speedtest result I got using Speedtest X HD iPad app.

Download speed: 16335.00 Kbps (15.95 Mbps / 2041.88 KB/s)
Total test time: 5.015 Seconds
Connection type: WIFI

This is always slower than the 22/2.8 Mbps I get on the MBP, but faster than what I get on the iPhone. I wish I understood all I know about these sorts of measurements.

My ISP is AT&T U-verse.

I'm on the same plan. I get very good speeds on my iPad with the router virgin provided. Upload caps are being removed by end of year, did u know?

It's OK.... we have that plan too

...but ours usually runs around 1.5-2 mbps

Here's min in Brisbane Australia - http://www.speedtest.net/iphone/39856143.png

Here are my latest result.......................


iPad: (pretty much the best I can get it) Wireless N with WPA2








PC on same connection but via Ethernet cable:





As you can see, Upload speeds the same on both devices, but the iPad via Wireless can only manage (approx) half the speed of the same connection via Ethernet to a PC.

Very happy with speeds & guess this is normal, but would like to know why if anyone knows?

I get about 8mb download and 700kbs upload on a 20mb virgin media connection. I always get 20mb on my pc so I was hoping for a better speed on the iPad.
