While I know similar stuff has been posted many times, I just have a question. When I had a Palm Pre and using homebrew I remember this unthrottle patch that basically made your Pre go faster than the horrendous 64kilobytes a sec. So does anyone know if the 4G is being throttled? My pre would get almost 2mbps using speedtest while my evo gets .3mbps. Now while using Pdanet I get .85mbps at the most. I haven't downloaded anything but my Pre at the fastest was downloading files at almost 300kilobytes a second. Thanks for any help
My best 3g test on my EVO was 1.8mb down and 566kb up.
You honestly can't really get a "consistant" speed out of 3g. 3g works in bursts, and when you wifi tether or tether in general you lose speed, for the most accurate speeds run a speed test on the phone via the market apps. Also the more people on a 3g network the crappier it is, CDMA also has slower 3g speeds since voice and data are on the same band. 4g is being throttled to 6mbps at the moment because sprint doesn't want to overload the network until its fully tested under heavy end user use. (maybe AT&T shoulda done this becasue their 3g network is crashing and burning horribly).
Thanks. I never thought of looking in the market for speedtest apps.
best here in NJ was 2.2 down about 800 up
I've never seen my EVO pass 1.2 - my Touch Pro 2 consistently hits 2+
Well the fastest I've seen was 310kb/s down 109kb/s up after using the app. I prefer using kb/s since thats what it shows when I download stuff. I guess this is faster than my Pre and definitely faster than my crappy dsl

Faster than your DSL? wow your DSL should at least be equal. Probably at the end of the distance to the Telco or closest Router or VRack. Should have your DSL Co check your line.

Where do you have the source for 4G being throttled to 6? I heard 10/1.

Its what Verizon offers in my area. I get 890 or something kbps down its either that or 1.6mbps which with a little more money I could get more with comcast. We need more internet competition or for companies to step up their game because comcast is fast but throttling and the whole area getting a set pool of bandwidth vs slow but always the same speeds sucks

I've heard the same thing around the time the Evo was announced and Wimax started to expand
What kind of speed are you guys getting? no wifi please
4871 down 1890 up. Ookla speed test app with wifi off.
N Puerto Rico hspa is new, I ran 3mb and .5
I average 4500 to 5500 down and 550 to 650 up.
In really good areas I can get 7000+ down. But I haven't tried speed test in a lot of different areas in my city yet.
I can't wait until the network is fully up and running.
7 megs is nice

I've tested everywhere from 0.12Mbps and 9.1Mbps, but typical is between 4 and 7Mbps. Uploads are fairly consistently between 1.5 and 1.75Mbps.
Does the title of this thread bother anyone else? Bandwidth and speed are two different (yet related) things.
ANYWAY...I'm getting 3-4Mbps down and 1.5Mbps up most of the time. Every once in awhile I'll see my download speed jump up to 6-9Mbps. Upload is constant for me.
Tampa, FL area.
wow, you wonder why ive been on here for two years and hardly post. i feel like im in grammar school, sorry teacher ill make sure you proofread my next post
7megs at my girls moms which is 1mile away. About 3-4 down tge street. And sucky suck .2 or .1 in my house. U normally only get edge or 1bar h signal fades to much

Hey everyone, Im having this weird issue with my data speeds. When i had my TP2 i would always get speeds of about 700Kb/s dl/ul with pings of around 150ms
BUT on my MT4G my speeds are a little screwy 1st off is sometimes my pings are 650+ other times normal, Also my download speeds are getting 250-600Kb/s which is obviously slower than my TP2.
The weird thing is (besides slower with random ping times) my upload speeds. For a VERY quick second i will see a speed of 3+Mb/s then it will drop down to either around 700 or stay at exactly 1Mb/s...odd
i was thinking maybe the towers dont have the backhaul in place yet, but with a burst of 3+Mb im thinking there is something wrong because if it WASNT there i wouldnt even get that burst, or even get to 1Mb because before the 4g max i could get is 800Kb/s up and down.
I called tmobile and they want to do a master reset....psh please! to much hassle
What do you think could be the problem? i got a new sim card with the new phone so i couldnt be that.
Try having ur GPS on when running Speedtest. Also, make sure that you are connected to the closest server. I am getting 6Mbps in Miami.

Well I just got my "Airave" (totally free, no monthly fee), b/c I had poor signals at home & "was" getting D/L speeds around 50-200kbps with U/L speeds around 30-120kbps, but now with the "Airave", I'm blazing fast, & can probably go faster with some tweaking, but anyways, here are my new speeds results from the app "Speed Test".
SO LETS SEE THOSE HTC HERO CDMA 3G SPEEDS!
oh, & I have full bars all the time now, w/ signal around -34dbm!
nobody, just want to see comparison HERO 3G speeds with the "speed test" app from market
That is really fast!!! I've never gotten over ~100 kB/s, or ~800 kb/s, even in downtown Chicago...
My service straight sucks on base. I've been prl'in between Verizon and Sprint to get acceptable download speeds. So half month V, half month S.
holy cow dude. lol. Yeah i've never gotten what i would expect 3G speeds to be. I'm usually around 60d/25u.
What kind of tweaks are you guys running, if any?
no tweaks prl 01337 and an older varzion radio.

None. Just the latest prl. But here's what I'm gonna do. Reading what you wrote, I'm gonna see if I can get one of those devices you mentioned.
I'm gonna try at dinner chow. Wish me luck!!
I'm in a known bad area for sprint near an airport, so not that many towers to speak of. Just ran 351kbps download and 56kbps upload. Pretty sad. Running the newest prl and just ran a ruu last week to get the newest pri but it didn't seem to help much.
How exactly do the Airaves work? Do they connect to your home's high-speed internet connection?

Yes. IIRC they connect between your modem and router so they can prioritize cellular traffic.

Here is the sprint webpage all about it. http://www.sprintenterprise.com/airave/tellMeMore.html
Just got off the phone with sprint. They're sending one my way. Hooah!!!!!
here's mine:
ignore the red and blue boxed ones...those where from when I tried out kifno's tweak
The ones from April 21-28 are wireless speeds ~30 min north of Chicago
May 2 is just south of the heart of NYC - Carroll Gardens
If you want OP i can take another test in Pheonix next week

i officially hate u lol 256kb/s.. im lucky to get 140 lmao
no tweaks really, im running an old outdated knifo script, that imo & from testing works better than his new ones, but yes call sprint, & complain about poor signal (dont mention 3g), dropped calls or static in calls, you have to go outside to get a decent signal, & even then you still get dropped calls, & request an airave for free (mention that you have a friend that got one for free b/c "they" were having the same issues) & 90% of the time Sprint will send you one for free & may even wave the $5 monthly fee, just complain that youve been paying for a service that you are not getting @ 100%.
yes it connects to your internet, but it doesnt effect it at all, im still getting 20Mbps dl, & ~3Mbps ul on my internet.
they are just offering "fiber optic" internet now where im at, w/ speeds between 10Gbps-80Gbps, yes gigabites, now thats fast
Since I'm using CM my upload speed is faster than download speed on everything (wifi,3g and 4g) . I don't get more than 1 Mb on my wifi . On 3g i don't get more than 300 Kb download speed but almost 4Mb upload speed . What's wrong ? Can anybody help ?
On 3G, I get a faster upload than download a lot of the time like you said , but I think that's because of the crappy 3G around here more than anything else. I'm on a stock rooted rom.
On wifi, speedtest.net more or less gives me results typical of my wifi (i.e. the speeds I pay comcast for). Sounds like there might be a wifi issue with your ROM.
Same here buddy, been like that for a while here in Tampa. I believe it's just sprints ****ty network.
Sent from your Moms EVO using 4G speed
I'm seeing the same thing, on Metro's network, which has the EVO limited to 1X speeds.
Upload is almost 3 times faster, than download, at 1X.
Shame their not truly compatible with the EVO's radio systems.
WiFi appears to work fine, so, I just stay home and use it (which was not at all, the idea for getting this phone).
Pity, we can't just toggle the U/L, D/L settings.

You don't get more than 1MB on Wifi?!
Does the internet connection you're connecting to get better speeds than that?
Sounds like you could have a phone issue.
I flashed stocked rooted Rom and wifi speed goes to 9 Mb . So , why i don't get that speed on CM ?
So , Is there anybody to help me with this issue . Since then i flash many different Roms and Wifi speed is much faster than CM7 on many of them . I wonder if there is fix for that ...
