Verizon MiFi Speed Test

2009-08-23
what's up everyone jon rettinger from technobuffalo here I want to give you a speed test of the verizon mifi 2200 mobile broadband hotspot so if you missed the unboxing what this does it sucks in verizon's evdo rev a connection and spits out Wi-Fi that up to five people can connect to quite nice and really handy it fits into a very small package and also happens to be relatively quick so let me give you a speed comparison first we're going to start with my normal Wi-Fi connection that I use here in my office relatively fast wireless n hooked up to an airport extreme router I'll show you there and hooked up to my network let's go ahead and above the speed test we're going to use speedtest net for this and if you're seeing those little sort of waves come out for my mouse it just due to my screen capture program so we're going to start the test and let's check out the speed on a standard Wi-Fi connection and where and we are done so my download speed was eleven point five four megabits per second my upload speed was 2.46 megabits per second not the fastest in the world but definitely quick enough and my upload is quite nice can see right here what my download speed uh would be for mp3 file that was five megabytes looking at four seconds a video clip I'm looking at just about 25 seconds head for full 800 megabyte movie just about nine minutes so quick enough and let's see how big work with the mifi okay so I'm now connected with the Maya file let me show you up here jr. mobile hotspot that's what I called my mifi connection and we're on the same speedtest.net website let's go ahead and start the test here and check out how fast we are okay so it just finished up and it pulls out my download speed of point 9 3 megabits per second and my uploaded point for 3 megabits per second so certainly it's not nearly as fast as my own Wi-Fi connection but it is definitely fast enough I've got a lot of bandwidth that i use obviously for a lot of uploading here at home so if I was just out on the road and i was using this just to look at website to check email this would be plenty fast and actually it's even fast enough download and upload to use even for some internet gaming like via xbox live or one of those you won't get lightning speeds but it definitely will work so hope this helped and answer some of your questions about the speed of the verizon wireless Wi-Fi let me load a couple websites here and show you what the speed looks like as well substandard website so you can see speed let's say we want to learn CNN com for example that's my homepage you can see it came up very quickly you can look at a pretty intensive site as well such as espn.com I'll show you what that looks like you can see that this also loads very fast so if you're just looking at standard website this is going to be plenty quick for you let's say you want to look at YouTube will even watch a streaming youtube video well sort of that it may take a little bit of your 5 gigabyte cap it's definitely possible so we'll go to my youtube channel and we've got a video here on the ps3 slim start applying actually very quickly let's adjust in the standard definition but it's definitely watchable you really could watch something quite easily using the mifi the number is in the uploading the downlow you know don't mean that much real time experience I can tell you for real time experience this is plenty fast for doing almost everything I do a little bit of buffering but if you go ahead and play it back you can give it maybe 10 or 15 seconds to buffer you're going to have a very nice viewing experience the mifi is quite fast overall I've been very impressed with it so hope you enjoyed for exclusive content be sure to check me out on twitter twitter.com slash job for lakers any for learn more about TechnoBuffalo give us a follow right here at TechnoBuffalo anyway guys I will see you in the next video bye bye
