VX4500 1xrt speed test result

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.verizon (More info?)

I did a speed test from dslreports.com with my laptop connected to my VX4500
on Verizon's 1xrt network. I got this result 43k down and 20k up. Tested
at 10:54PM Central US time. I was at home where the signal strength was
only at 61% and battery strength was at 75% (this figures according to the
Quicklink Mobile). Note that Venturi was aff during this test.

With Venturi on, download was 53k and upload was a whopping 213k! I was
amazed looking at the animated tornado Venturi icon in the taskbar. I
re-did the test because I couldn't believe the 213k upload. The result of
the re-test was 111k download and only 49 up. The opposite! I don't trust
the test results. But my conclusion, with Venturi, download/upload
throughput is boosted.

Your speeds results will also increase if you do not clear your cache
files. Make sure nothing else is accessing your internet connection.
Every little use of bandwith has an effect. Close all applications or
tempariarly disable such as AntiVirus Updates, Firewall, Instant
Messanging programs, Emails, etc... You also have to remember that you
can only compress data to a certain extent. You can't Arj a Zip, or
ZIP a ARJ file. Doing uploads and downloads of large data is almost
pointless in my experince over a cell. On some cases I have had better
download speeds over the cell then dialup. It also depends on your
location, network usage, time of day etc...

Step One
You should clear your cache, internet temp files, and cookies for best
results.

2. Toast

4. McAfee Speed Test

Step Two
Clean your cache, history files, etc.., turn on Venturi Compression
visit sites in step one. Of course this is not perfect either, but will
give you a better idea of what is going on.
