Post your Data Speed Here...

I am very surprised to get such speed in Vancouver. Guess everyone in Toronto is sleeping, that's why...

Testing from Toronto, this is what I normally get:

I am seriously contemplating going with Robbers instead.

How is the speed nowadays? My friend has unlimited data and tethers it to her computer. I'm debating if I should go with Mobilicity. (In Toronto)

Depends on how critical speed and reliability is to you. I love the service I get on my Mobi Blackberry... but I would not recommend a data only product if you're planning on using it for anything important. I have the Huawei E583C hotspot and it was sorta tolerable for the kids to watch YouTube (quite often choppy) and for casual surfing. However, there would be times when it would inexplicably drop the connection... although the signal meter would show 5 bars. Very frustrating.

I thought I could wait for Mobi to improve their data services, but the straw that broke my back was when I was sitting in downtown Toronto (always shows a full five bars) about to walk into an executive meeting and needing a file over VPN... and you know what... F**king Mobi signal dropped on me and I ended up asking one of the executives to download the file for me. Yeah... seriously embarrassing. So, within two days of that situation, I got myself a Robbers Sierra Wireless 763S LTE Hotspot. I'm paying more than twice as much for only 10GB... but you know what... the quality of service is infinitely better. And before I get flamed for not giving the Huawei Hotspot a chance - I test drove that thing for almost 3 months and I would say the data was barely passable for even casual data usage. I live in Markham and work quite extensively in the Financial District in Toronto and the quality of service was spotty at best.

If you can tolerate the slow speeds and the quite frequent connection drops, then the unlimited nature of the plan can work for you. For my usage, the quality of service just didn't cut it.

And by the way, my speeds are in line with what others are getting in this forum.

Hey, if you have good paid job is very weird to use Huawei phone and mobilicity service, not to say more, but there are many people that are bragging about their jobs and then complaining about mob. Mob is for common people with less than average income and for youngsters. Btw my internet speed in my area increased a month ago from several hundreds kbs to a bit less than 2 mbs for downloads. For regular surfing is ok but for streaming video not, i was told that in winter they will upgrade their network to 4g and 20 mb speed. Good luck to all on elephont day!

I'm not bragging about my job - if that's what you're implying. One other clarification - the Huawei E583C that I mention is a wireless hotspot and not a phone. As I said, I have a Blackberry 9780 on Mobilicity - which I love. I make a ton of North American long distance calls and my Mobi "unlimited NA" is saving me literally hundreds of dollars per month!!! No complaints about that. My post specifically speaks to "Data-Only". The intention of my posting is to provide perspective on a possible use case, i.e. if you need to do anything where you need some reliability or speed. Going through this and other forum threads, my opinions/experiences are not uncommon.

I'm not a fan-boy of any company. I take my money where I get the best value. I get amazing value on my two Blackberries I have with Mobilicity - so, I will continue to be a Mobi customer for those services. Unfortunately, Mobi data is so unreliable, inconsistent and slow that I needed to seek out better "value". Again, I've read a few similar comments in these forums... so, it's not just me.

I feel your pain brother! Heading to the Mobi store today to cancel the hell outta my Mobi data plan (... just the data plan with my Hotspot - not the data on my Blackberries).

Again, I want to stress that my Mobi voice and BB services are pretty good. I get the occasional dropped call and the coverage isn't fantastic, but for what I'm paying I'm extremely pleased. Whatever data I do use with my Blackberries is satisfactory.

Hopefully they actually do upgrade! That would be amazing!

Boy, not impressed at the speedtest postings here. Lets see what happens with this upgrade coming.
