Just saw a tower pop up in Keller TX. Closer to me than ft worth

It will usually keep it for awhile. However, after awhile it will revert to a default one and you'll have to go back and select another one. Typically the default ones are the busiest because 90% of users will not change servers. So those ones get overloaded and yield less accurate results.

ahh i see thanks. just connected to ft.worth one and just pulled 20mbps.. crazy difference lol

Within the Speedtest app, click on the Tools button at the bottom. Then click on Change Server at the top. You may want to try some other Texan servers the next time your speed drops with a strong signal. It will help you rule out issues with the Speedtest server. I can sometimes have over a 10Mbps difference with LTE on some servers.

 

Speedtests are only as fast as the weakest link. And sometimes the weakest link is the server itself if it gets busier than it can handle. The best speed test results have a broad sampling of servers.

Oh i see thanks you! Wow such a big difference between some of these. so when i change server and run a test does it stay connected to that one?

I've been using the BlahHosting server in Dallas the past week or so. It is the most reliable of the remaining servers.

 

I used to use the MoeRadio in Dallas and the OneSource in Ft. Worth servers before that. They were much better and more consistent than BlahHosting and SoftLayer. But BlahHosting has had inconsistency issues lately. But it is still better than SoftLayer.

 

I hope MoeRadio and OneSource come back. They were the best speed test servers in the area. Whatever you do, avoid the Comcast ones. They are horrible at peak times.

Thanks for the info. how do i connect to different towers/servers from the phone?

Nope. You told me what I needed to know. Which speed test servers do you use?

 

Robert via Samsung Note II via Tapatalk

Using the Speedtest.net app it shows I'm connected to the Dallas server

Is that measured from your LTE engineering screen?

 

Robert via Samsung Note II via Tapatalk

I measured it using htc's hidden menu option. would it help to through up a screenshot?

Thanks but at home in my room I get -82-89 dBm and those are the speeds I get that very. I understand this distance and traffic but its so random lol

Past week LTE has been varying speeds. Around central to north Arlington

I love this app, use it daily. Got LTE in Arlington when I first got my EVO but the tower was never on. Now I get LTE everyday but the speeds are...ehh still around 3g speeds. Hope the work keeps coming along(:
