I'm only getting around 600k down and 500k up.

Its faster on 3G where download goes up to around 1M.

Am I alone on this?

I got 4479k down and 1942k up on my Nexus One on Wifi using the Speedtest.net app.

I tested during a non peak time and got 10451k down and 1952k up. It seems like my N1 is consistently downloading about 1/2 as fast as my desktop does while the upload is the same.(My desktop got ~10k down and 2k up when I did the first test on friday night, and just now it got 20k down and 2k up)

screw you guys!

I wonder what's bogging down my speed.

i always found my g1 to be way slower. my nexus one gets around 15 megabits on a network file transfer (g wireless)

have you tried setcpu to 528mhz max?
also, which app are you using? xtremelabs sucks, use the speedtest.net app

I havent run a speed test, but my Droid is much faster on the Wifi than 3G.
Overall I think 3G is a joke. They claimed it was supposed to be like broadband, but I've never had a 3G phone where it actually felt like that.
Maybe 4G will be better. But for now Wifi is great. So many places around the neighborhood have it for free I dont even worry about good cellular coverage.

Droid - 7.72/1.63Mbps on FIOS, I was getting 3.56/1.03 on Comcast.

Strange because my laptop - via wifi - got about 28/19 on FIOS and 15/2 on Comcast...

You know that engadget video where they browser test the Nexus One, Droid and the iPhone where the iPhone just kills everyone? The Droid is dead last. Maybe that's why.

Well this wasn't a browser-based test, but that aside I expected it to be slower - it was the ratio.
