Sever speed drop on WiFi VS. other PC's on same networks

OK so I know that we are not talking about a full fledged PC but there is a pretty big speed difference in the downlink speeds between my home PC and my Evo on Wi-Fi:
Home PC:
{

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Evo on same WiFi network:
Can't figure out why the big speed difference. Anywhere from almost a quarter to a tenth of the speed of my PC. Just wondering.
On a note, it might be worth mentioning I movied around the house and the phsycial position of hte phone relative to the router did not seem to make a difference. Being 5 feet away was not any faster than being on the opposit end of the house.

I have the exact same problem. My phone goes 3mbps slower than a pc on the same network (down from 6mbps).

my laptop gets about 26mpb but the gets like 20mpb.. i dont see this as being bad at all..

Looks like you have cable. Maybe the speedboost isn't working for the Evo. You know with speedboost your internet connection isn't necessarily that fast its just something time warner does to give you temp high speeds. That's definitely not your sustained download speed.

This started happening today

How can 4g get good signal but I have no service

Think of 4G like Wifi...(it is in fact Wifi's humongous younger brother, built for wide scale) Wifi and Wimax and 2G/3G and Bluetooth are different radios. The 2G/3G radio is the one all mucked up.

because 4g service is from Clearwire , and not sprint
is that Los or just a real no sign

Had that happen to me except I had full bars but no cell service. When I turned 4g off, the 3g symbol would cone back but no data. Reset fixed. damn los.

Thought on 4g signal strength

Im not a cellular network engineer but I have some experience with corporate wireless networks. We are in the midst of the holiday season and people are crowding around shopping areas, buying their first 4g device, and Verizon is still building out their LTE network. I wonder if towers are load balancing users based on increased density.
Increased 4g subscribers
A still growing network
Maybe Verizon is getting to a point where they need to play catch up.
Today I was in a shopping area where I'd normally get -75 db on LTE. I got -102. I drove across town where there were far fewer people and got -74db. I had no problem maintaining this signal strength inside our local Kroger.
Let me know your thoughts and remember its not fair to compare a CDMA signal strength to LTE signal strength. They are different broadcasts and frequencies. Since (as I believe to be true) LTE can hold more clients per tower Verizon may not have LTE on every tower in LTE coverage areas just yet. We are still in the deployment.

maybe it was -76 but you get the point.

Am I lucky with these speeds? Post your speeds.

The top four are from my house at various server distances. I know I am lucky with the wifi because I only pay for around 15. I never have had los and only saw it on my wife's stock epic touch once. I bought my phone off of ebay and I'm on the eg30 modem. I am afraid to switch with it working so great.

During peak hours I got this, much better than the stock Ek02 which was 0.01mbps down and 0.13mbps up... I don't know what Sprint is doing but my speeds are much better for the past 2 days
By the way I am on EL26 ROM Modem and Kernel. if that matters.

3g - 1189d 709u 138p
4g - 3772d 592u 139p
wifi - 11597d 4092u 30p
idk if thats good or bad at 1AM but it keeps me happy =)

Wifi and mobile data on at same time..?

I never saw this before. .
Connected to my wifi at work, and I got a picture message from my daughter... then the 3g and wifi were on at the same time.

The pxt message comes through 3G that's why both your wifi and 3g are on at the same time.

3g is always running in the background when wifi is on but it will only notify you that its being used when you need that particular service. From what I understand voice calls are also placed through the 3g service but defaults to 2g when there strength of your 3g is not good enough.
Someone please correct me if I am wrong.
Cheers,
Evil.

^ That's my understanding if it as well.
Not all carriers will make the phone show data activity indicator when receiving mms, but I think it's very common.
