Why is my HTC Incredible's WiFi so slow?
I have a Droid Incredible rooted with Cyanogen 7. When I use my network wi fi (on cable modem) the download speed is about 400kb/s, using SpeedTest.net's Droid app. When I test with my Virgin MObile LG Optimus V I get 8.5 Mb/s. I've turned off bluetooth (which I hear uses the same radio as wi fi).
