What speeds are you guys getting in the SF Bay Area?
I used to get average 700 kb/sec but now I'm only getting 200-300 nine out of ten speed tests. I have not changed anything on my phone.
I'm using the 8525.

I just got 3g from a local carrier bsnl. 3g speeds are not even edge speeds around 23-30 kilobits/sec slower than dial up only when it switched to hsdpa the speeds are ~1.8mbps, anything i can do here
Not much, I think. Looks like you never get good 3G, and HSDPA is what gives the normal speeds anyway.
It shows 3g there maybe my carrier sucks but it gotta be atleast over 100kbps
Yesterday i turned on my 4G radio for the first time in a week and CHA-CHING: 4G! It hasn't worked in the past.
Now I have to see what it does to my battery life.
I can confirm north of the river at Yankee Stadium.
4G at the stadium.
The 3G was not as exciting:
Yankee Stadium - Bronx, NY
3G : 69 kbps / 177 kbps
4G : 3.2 Mbps / 1.0 Mbps

Hi all,
yeah for the past week 3G has been messed up for me i thought it was my phone but i can see that maybe sprint is testing 4G and messing around with the 3G network. i'm getting 859ms ping when doing a speed test which is really slow while i used to get 25~95ms before and like avg 1000Kbps down and 700kbps up. i hope sprint takes care of this ASAP,
I've been getting it I'm lower Manhattan for awhile and up the west side to about 40th st give or take. About 3.5mbps. In Brooklyn I got over 7 mbps.

Anyone on T-mobile USA with the x10 getting hspa+ speeds?
im in chicago and im getting about 1mbps
O_O last time I checked xperia x10 doesn't have support for hspa+ but I could be wrong. And I haven't actually checked yet but I seem to be having the same speed, I'll check later and post the results
I get between 4-6 depending where I am

from the SE official site, the spec. said it is UMTS/HSPA phone which is upto 7.2 Mbps (correct me if i am wrong) HSPA+ is upto 14.4 Mbps which is double....
I dont think our X10 is HSPA+ phone.
I get about 4Mbps down near millennium park with t-mobile's new rollout. Average speed is about 1.5Mbps down throughout the city.

Even if the phone does not support HSPA+, having the network upgraded greatly improves the UTMS/HSPA speeds.

This is correct. HSPA+ is just HSDPA and HSUPA, but with a faster theoretical cap.

in san francisco i get between 7-14 and late night i've gotten up to 21.
Considering HSPA+ is still only a 3g network, should phones that had 3g capability be able to take advantage of HSPA+? I mean when T-Mobile upgraded their old 3g to HSDPA/HSUPA, every phone got the boost.
And why do phones that are cable of utilizing HSPA+ need a sim card that supports HSPA+

I work Tmo Retail. All 3g Tmo phones can utilize the HSPA+ network. The difference with the newer MT4G and G2 is that they can handle higher speeds depending on your area.
For instance, the Samsung Vibrant can handle up to 7.2 mbps while the G2 can do 14.4. In Los Angeles, I get around 4-5 megs on HSPA+ so both phones would be about the same speeds. However, I've heard in other areas in the country, some people have reached 8-12 mbps with HSPA+. In that case, the higher speed capabilities would make a difference.
Hope that answers your question!

So you're saying that once the average speeds for HSPA+ are say 8mbps that my phone will be capped at 7.2 mbps, but if the average speeds are currently under 7.2 that I would be completely capable of having the same speeds as a phone equipped for HSPA+?
whats the Philly area hspa+ number
HSPA+ 42. Your phone's settings will list it as HSPA+: 15.
Parts of Philly have HSPA+ 42 on the 1900Mhz spectrum, as well. This generally means it should be good there.
thanks but I seem to get better speeds when it says hspa+ 10
