TUAW‘s TJ Luoma recently posted speed test results for Wi-Fi, 3G and EDGE connections using FCC’s Mobile Broadband Test app running on an iPhone 3GS on the AT&T network.
With all the ads Turkcell is running claiming they have the fastest 3G network in Turkey, I thought I should do the same with my iPhone 3GS on Turkcell. I averaged 3 tests like TJ Luoma, but I used the Speedtest.net app. Both apps are made by Ookla, so I can only assume there won’t be any difference between the results.
Here are the original results for AT&T from TUAW:
| Network | Download (kbps) | Upload (kbps) | Latency (ms) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wi-Fi | 4,371 | 612 | 741 |
| 3G | 1,960 | 310 | 1,054 |
| EDGE | 64 | 54 | 4,936 |
and here are my own results for Turkcell 3G1:
| Network | Download (kbps) | Upload (kbps) | Latency (ms) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wi-Fi | 10,595 | 9,759 | 37 |
| 3G | 2,249 | 229 | 203 |
| EDGE | 159 | 91 | 4,694 |
It’d be great if someone could post results for Vodafone Turkey and Avea.

For Wi-Fi, I used an Apple AirPort Extreme on a 100 Mbps Superonline fiber connection. ↩
