Hello,
Wind upgraded their network to 21mbps a while ago and I was wondering if anyone noticed a difference in data speeds.
I wouldn't expect to see download speed as high as bell's hspa+ but i would like to see what the real power of Wind is ;)

Hey there,

I've been with Wind since November and the most I got out of my Optimus 2x so far was 7Mbps. Consistently I can get between 3 and 5Mbps which is pretty sweet considering it's unlimited :D

Cheers,

Kyrillos

If you think getting between 10% and 20% of the advertized speed (I'm talking 21mbps) is pretty sweet, can I borrow $1000? I'll pay you right back. ;)

It's wireless, so you never get close to 21mbps

I average around 2Mbps. down and 1Mbps upload. Not the greatest at all. Didn't expect anywhere near 21, but this a far cry from it. I feel that most of these companies are commiting false advertising, and this is the worse of them.

These advertised speeds are just theoretical figures. In general, most users will never consistently achieve 21mbps. Quite unfortunate.

I been with Wind for a year now and never come close to 21mbps when doing any speedtest usually its 4-5mbps.
