No matter what I do it seems I am not able to get over around 2.5mbps in upload speeds on my nexus one. This is on my own wireless network where my itouch is able to get more the that easily. Any ideas why the nexus one appears to essentially be capped at a certain upload rate?
Who do you have as an ISP that gives you more than 2mbps upload?(unless you're outside the us heh)
Verizon FiOS in NY
~15mbps upload
Offtopic yes, but if it's available in your area, you should definitely get it!
I should add though I've used it on another wifi connections, (such as at actual data center facilities with full rate connection, like 40-50mbps), it still is stuck at 2.5mbps for upload. Download can definitely go above 10mbps which I'm fine with.
Ah yeah I did support for Verizon when they were first rolling fios out. Sadly I can barely get 3mbps down were I am,lead phone lines from here to Cleveland : (
Just pulled up my speedtest history, the most I ever got was just under 3mbps upload. Generally I get at least 5+ on my pc.

Yeah, exactly, it does seem as if upload is capped, unless this is the maximum the hardware is capable of doing (I doubt it)?
Was wondering what data speeds other people were getting. Ever since I started with T-Mobile my 3G speed In Wichita, KS sucks! I don't get better than 500- 600k download. Reps at the TM store keep telling me "they're upgrading the network, it should be better by such & such a date", the TM Cust Service Rep said I should be getting much better speeds than that. I can't get a straight answer from anyone what the rates for this area are. Would like same ammo to argue with T-Mobile to lower my monthly data charge.
Could you please post your speeds and what part of the country your in? Thanks!
Wichita, KS - I used to work for a company there called Pixius!
Mendota Heights, MN using Ookla Speedtest from market shows:
Ping 155ms - 2569 kbps Download - 405 kbps Upload
Boise, ID
Speedtest.net... I ran 3 times in a row with phone showing 3G and only ran 216kbps download, 489 upload. normally I get more than that but surely not today. I do know that depending on congestion T-Mobile can "throttle" the network slightly to avoid some bigger issues from happening on their network and help make it stable. T-Mobile is supposed to be reaching 25 cities total by end of June with the HSPA+ network with estimated speeds of 21Mbps... Not sure if your town is on the list. I know mine's not.
crappy speeds compared to what I hear other people have.
The Minneapolis metro area must have great TMO 3G coverage because I rarely go under 2Mbps around here! I have Sprint for work and their speeds are much slower!
1388kbps down/1358 kbps up. I am using a cincinnati regional carrier and not t-mobile however.
In Independence, Missouri and using speedtest.net app I got 1727 kbps download and 384 kbps upload.

Within our Center we have our own personal 3G cells that have yet to be updated to HSPA+ on. On Sundays with low amounts of employees in the building I'll see approximately 1-2 mb down and 400-500 kb up...however on a weekday during near full capacity I may only see around the speeds you are quoting. Its all based on the backhaul of the network in your area and what it can handle. Try running your speed tests at odd hours of the night when the general public is asleep and see what results they yield.
If you posted this strictly looking for a way to cut costs out of your monthly service cost however I apologize. T-mobile, nor any carrier for that matter, can guarantee a certain data speed or higher in any area because of all the different variables that sometimes...they just can't control.

People complain about T-Mobile but where I live their service is fan-****ing-tastic.
I just got a Text message yesterday on my HD 2 from T-Mobile USA in Atlanta, GA. The message said my area had been upgraded to HSPA+ and I should be getting theoretical download speeds of 22megs with my current phone.
I ran a bunch of speed tests and I'm still getting my usual 1.5megs download. Anyone else get this text and what speeds are you receiving.

Actually the HD2 can't quite get the full HSPA+ speeds (21Mbps currently, with 42Mbps to come shortly)...it actually caps out at 7.2Mbps. But, you should still get a little more than 1.5, depending on your location, signal strength, etc.
What speed test method are you using? the HSPA+ speeds don't actually kick in until you're transferring more than just a small bit of data, so some of the speed tests out there aren't using big enough files to trigger that. I use www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/, and it does a great job of registering the full speeds this phone is capable of (only works on IE browser on the phone, fyi).
FYI, I got that same text here yesterday, even thought HSPA+ was rolled out here weeks ago, and I've been enjoying those speeds for a while now. I regularly get in the 3-5Mbps range, with occasional spikes all the way up to 7Mbps+, on the download side. On the upload side, they made some recent updates even after the HSPA+ rollout (I've been told that that's common), following which I can now upload at 1.5Mbps or more! (~500kbps was my previous limit on that)
I check Atlanta, Ga on t-mobile data coverage and it seems pretty covered in the center.
I got the text yesterday 2 but since I got my HD2 8 months ago I've been having speeds of 5-6 Mbps download speeds of 550 kb/s ~ 600 kb/s which is good.
I live in New York though.
Check your speeds at speakeasy
and test it outdoors without interference from roofings or on a higher level like a second floor near the window.

I live in Smyrna (just north of Atlanta). I didn't receive the text message, but I just ran the Speakeasy test several times and got ~7.5Mbps for downloads and 0.97Mbps for uploads. There is a cell tower a couple of miles from my location, and I've noticed over the last few weeks that whenever I get very close to it, I get a strong (4 bars) H signal. However, the dropoff in signal strength with distance from the tower appears to be quite severe. At home (inside) I sometimes get a couple bars of 3G, if I'm lucky, but I usually only get three bars or so of Edge whenever I'm indoors. Outside, the signal increases to about two bars of 3G.
I get 0.44 Mbps download and 0.06 Mbps upload.

im near nyc, ny. I didn't get any texts but I do get a 'H' where it used to say 3g with download speed of 1.2mb/s and an upload speed of .9mb/s. does that mean im on hspa+?
I ran tests with speedtest.net but I don't know enough to understand the results. Can someone point me to a good reference on EDGE/3G/wireless speeds? Or, just tell me, what do you think of these numbers. Is this slow, fast, average or what?
I'm in SF and chose the SF server:
3G Down: 979
3G Up: 1323
Wireless Down: 4402 kbps
Wireless Up: 3175 kbps
My 3g speed is actually better than your wireless speeds. Your location and of course how much the 3g network is being used in your area by others will contribute to slower speeds. But that still does seem fairly slow for 3g, maybe high traffic bogging down the network at the time you tested? Have you run any other tests?
I haven't run any other tests. Can you recommend any other tests?
Also, just for context, I ran the test from inside an old apartment building in a dense neighborhood between 8p and 10p.
that's pretty terrible
I get about 3.7meg consistantly down, 600k up in bentonville arkansas
speeds are alot lower than what i see in seattle, but on par with what i saw in most of O and Ca on a recent road trip.
I meant another speed test using the speedtest.net app, that would probably be the one of the worst times to run a test probably when theres the highest traffic. Just be sure you have a good signal when you run tests.
I just ran two more tests with speedtest.net, 10p PT. This time I made sure I had a decent signal (didn't pay attention last time).
3G up: 2226
3G down: 597
3G up: 1.04 Mbps
3G down: 1.05 Mbps
Honestly, the speed/performance has never bugged me or caught my attention because it was slow. But, what I'm gathering here is that I'm getting some pretty ****ty speeds, comparatively.
In Chicago we are only getting 1mb down 600-850 up....pisses me off...if tmobile doesnt raise it I need to consider att or sprint galaxy s....store claims speed in Chicago way behind rest of network and will get much better...i dont know if I can trust tmobiles network...is 3 mb common on tmobile 3g hspa like I have seen a few people claim in nj

uh, thats fine for normal 3g i think. t-mobile new 3.5/4g network will show higher numbers, but i think those are pretty normal for 3g.
i just did a speedtest and got 948kbs down and 1320 up. im in so cal with normal 3g, not new network
Is it weird that my up speeds are always greater than my down speeds?

Ah, thanks for the reference. What's the "new network?" Is that the HSDPA+?
I get similar speeds on so. cal. as well.
Yes, the new network is HSDPA+. The coverage map for HSPDA+ is here, http://t-mobile-coverage.t-mobile.com/?WT.z_unav=mst_global_cvg#.

Parts of Jacksonville, FL have been upgraded to the "faster" 3G network. Other parts are still on regular 3G or even edge.
I'm on fast 3G right now. Just got 5087 kbps down and 1599 kbps up. Regular 3G usually give me around 1000 down, 600 up.

I think your speed is fine. If you dont try to download a HD movie to your phone through 3g you will be fine with youtubing and web surfing.

Well depending on the location and time of the day, i get download speeds between 250kbps to 1100 kbps and uploads between 150 to 450kbps.
Way better than t-mobiles piss ass speeds of 20kbps inside the house and work. If you need 3g speeds u need to go stand outside the building..
Sent from my SPH-M910 using Tapatalk
the thing to remember when asking about dl and ul speeds on the intercept is also it was cheated in many departments one of those being radio. it's a EVDO rev. 0 not the newer, faster EVDO rev. A radio. This also limits the speeds you'll get compared to your vibrant. As always your mileage will vary based on signal strength as well
Roughly Los Angeles area here (San Fernando Valley to be more precise) and I get anywhere from 600-1400 down and about a consistent 120 up.
