Connected through WiFi that sounds normal. I get just under 10 connected to my 10mb cable service.
You have a good upload speed though!

Re: SpeedTest App on 3Gs

In London:

3G
Down: 1337 kbps
Up: 199 kbps

Roughly equivalent to a low-end ADSL line

Edge
Down: 13kbps
Up: 3kbps

Roughly equivalent to an old ISDN line but faster than a 56k modem!

yep, but the wifi is only as fast as the slowest device, didnt think iphone's where capable of supporting that throughput, never seen it that high on my 2G/3G before. Wondered if something had changed in the 3Gs model

Re: SpeedTest App on 3Gs

This speedtest.net app seems a lot more accurate as over wifi i am getting pretty close if not the same as my normal net speed.

Using 'speed check' (another app) was very inaccurate and was showing 60% less than what i am (and should be) getting.
