I recently contacted T-Mobile and apparently others have called in with the same problem. After about 20 minutes of running tests and getting my info the tmo tech person said she will be in contact with me as their engineers work on it.

in more detail: mobilespeedtest.com will just test the proxy that your phone is connected too since t-mobile uses one to compress the data before sending it to you
the speedtest.net app tests your phone directly, but i personally dont think the speedtest.net app is coded properly for gingerbread either, as mine is fast as hell tethered but the app shows low speeds although my downloads/webpages load really quick

I have the same issue. At times won't even connect, very sluggish on 4g. edge works fine though
What area do you live in? If you don't mind me asking...
Ok so ive been googling like crazy on how to get a htc sensation 4G to work on metro pcs now all i've learned so far is something about flash, but other than that no information. can you (anyone) please explain how you got the htc to work on metro pcs and what you did i would really appreciate it. my ascend is crap i got it thinking it would be at least decent but mine (not saying anyone elses) is really bad even running on the latest android and i rebooted it blah blah it still is really bad =C so i want to move on..
Oh thanks a lot i was really getting confused ! haha
I just got my HTC Sensation phone Monday and my speeds have been really low too. I'll post my last 5 results with download, upload, and ping:
155 kbps 81 kbps 242ms
105 kbps 48 kbps 500ms
11512 kbps 4095 kbps 79ms (wifi)
76 kbps 19 kbps 464ms
247 kbps 67 kbps 99ms
The first 2 tests were done on the Edge network, the last 3 on GPRS. I have not yet contacted TMobile about this, as I came here first.
The overall experience so far with this phone has been horrible; beginning with the short battery life and the HTC Sync software not working for me (sorry for going a little out of topic) and now the internet speed.
I feel like ripping the head off some T-Mobile call center supervisor.
