Speed Test of the LG CU500

August 16, 2006 | General | By: Mark VandeWettering

Josh wanted to know how fast the HSDPA networking built into my new LG CU500 is, and recommended going to http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed to check it out. The default WAP-based browser wasn’t up to the task, so I loaded Opera Mini onto the phone and gave it a try by testing it with the 1M file size (what do I care, I have unlimited Media Net 🙂 ). The result?

Downloaded 1M in 3.532 seconds

Apparently, the 3G network is pretty fast! I tried it multiple times, and this was just about the slowest time recorded.

That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing.

I’m now officially jealous that my EVDO high speed wireless data isn’t the fastest game in town anymore… 😉

Well, the 3g network seems to be available when I’m at work, but at home it’s mostly EDGE. I’ll try to update the speed that I get while at home when, well, I’m at home next. 🙂
