Bandwidth Meter for Treo (Bmeter)
I've been testing the Sprint PCS Vision data service on my Treo 300 and came up with some surprising results. I walked outside my apartment (concrete walls, converted warehouse) and was able to achieve up to 64 Kbps, averaging around 40 Kbps. I was in Manhattan today, at a 3rd floor doctor's office on 37th Street and was able to hit 123 Kbps, averaging around 100 Kbps (!) Coming home on the Staten Island Ferry, as we were approaching the dock, I was averaging 40-60 Kbps. Granted, this is only doing slightly better than a dial-up modem, but for basic text searching, this service works great considering the portability it affords.
