Opera Mini redirects ur request from Opera server, which comperesses the files.. even I have got the same results on Opera mini... try with default browser, or with opera mobile(with Turbo mode off) to get the actual speed Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ami1 237 Report post Posted March 11, 2011 ^ Correct. The speed reported is actually between Opera's Servers and the speed test site. Not between the phone and the test site. Since opera servers would obviously have huge bandwidth the speeds reported will be high. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Karthik R 246 Report post Posted March 11, 2011 The online speed test results are not accurate. Check out what they pronounced about my EDGE speed ^ Theoretically and practically not possible right ^ It is just a matter of downloading a test data file, timing it and calculate the resulting bandwidth.

Sunny1 3 Report post Posted March 11, 2011 Yes...I read on net about opera... so it means that file is not at all downloaded to our mobile but on opera server only my defualt bb browser is now working but opera is working strange... do you guys have any other option to test net speed on mobile.. opera mobile not available for 8830 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arun 795 Report post Posted March 11, 2011 I have seen it happen on the default BlackBerry browser as well. BlackBerry does compression and data filtering through their BIS/BES servers which is like a proxy. So the test result might be showing the speed between the testing server and the BIS/BES server. dslreports.com mobile speed test shows the following reason for incompatibility with BlackBerry: the blackberry network diverts all web traffic via proxy servers, which strip pages of 'un-necessary' data before sending them to your device! This speed test relies on 'un-necessary' data to calculate download speed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
