so...how fast is your sapphire surfing the web?
Speed Test
download/upload kbps
1. 3862/173 (482.8 kb/sec download transfer rate)
2. 2500/189 (312.5 kb/sec download transfer rate)
3. 3571/151 (446.4 kb/sec download transfer rate)
avg: 3311/171 (413.9 kb/sec download transfer rate)
thats pretty good
why would you post wifi speeds? thats not comparing anything.

That looks like good 3G speeds.
My speed(Download) is usually about 1800-2200kbps, but I have reached over 3000kbps(About 3400kbps) and thats over 3G. Please note I'm in Denmark, not the US.
The HTC Magic/My Touch/Sapphire supports HSDPA 7.2 Mbps, but remember that it's only a theoretically max, and that real world max is under ~5Mbps.
And please note: 8 kbps = 1 kBps
Small b is bit and big B is Byte (8bit = 1Byte).
To many sites and programs doesn't uphold this and therefor theres a lot of confusion about it for the average user.
Eg. 2200kbps = ~2.15Mbps = 275kBps = ~0,27MBps
I never understood that myself. It's a marketing thing I think. WOW 5 Megabit speeds! It's like Neogeo of our times.(330 Megabits!!!...41.25 megs) I wish they would show the actual speed that people can understand.. at least to me. I never use Megabits for anything, nothing! I use bytes. So everytime i see "5 megabits" I have to divide by 8 every time to figure out real world speeds (625 kiloBytes a second). It's probably the word MEGA, it sounds huge so people are like.. WOW its 5 Megabits and have no idea what it means. I'd rather them tell me that i'll be getting 625kB a second speeds. It's like when you look at how big a program is you see it in bytes not bits. So it's going to take me 2 or 3 seconds to download a 1.2 meg file.

...just wondering difference between tmobile mt3g and hacked rogers' magic on att as well as regional differences... otherwise, curiosity plain and simple. maybe anyone has swapped their radio and get outrages speeds claimed to be the hardware's max.
k because my 3g speeds dont get anywhere what t-mobile should be. im usually stuck around 300kbps. yes kilobits.

As far as I can tell from reading around, WIMAX upload speeds are actually slower than that of EVDO speeds. In the age of sharing so much media including high-def pics and vids, doesn't this seem like a step back?

I don't see how 1-1.5mpbs up is slower than 100-300kbps up...
I guess i was looking at the peak speeds. My bad. It shows 1.8 Mbps peak upload for EVDO rev. a

And if nobody is using the tower....
I get about 2.5mbps down 800kbps up on my Hero, and I live in a VERY good area as far as data speeds go.
Sprint is capping upload to 1mbps on wimax. Honestly, I've never gotten more than 250 upload, even when I lived next to a tower Sprint used. I don't upload videos, so it doesn't bother me, but I'd like to once I get the epic.

I'm guessing since it's on a hero its 3g and not 4g right? Wasn't the topic about 4g upload?
Yeah it was, sorry. That's that I get for posting at 3am...
When switching from 3G to 4G my upload speed is multiplied 2- 3 times. However, my upload speed in 4G is only about 5- 10% compared to 3G
3G:
download: 1100kbps
upload: 900kbps
4G:
download: 2,500-3,500 kbps
upload: <80kbps
Have I missed a setting somewhere?
I have a tower less than a mile away, living in down-town Boston.
Thanks in advance,

You must be on an edge of 4g coverage... or indoors or something all jacked up. My last 4G test out on the road was:
7223 down
1119 up (capped)
I just plugged in my wife's iPhone SIM into the Vibrant to unlock, then ran the SpeedTest.net app.
I got 1209 kbps down and 347 kbps down in West LA.
Not bad, considering that at the same spot I get 400-600 kbps down and 700-1000 kbps up on t-Mobile.
Anyway, it means that the Vibrant can do perfectly adequately internationally.
And in West LA, with the spirent settings removed, the GPS works pretty good too!
Once I get my phone unlocked, I'll post my Canadian TMO Vibrant 3G scores.

Nice numbers! How many gma's are surfing the web down there?!
I get anywhere between 500kbps (1 bar) to 1200kbps (5 bars) download, and between 100-300 kbps (1 bar/5 bars respectively)
TMOs 3G is pathetic in this part of town (my home).

Ha, test server is in Bellevue up the street. Amusing.
1900MHz carriers are rarely used because AT&T has their network spaced out for 850MHz. 850MHz is probably the most overcrowded and slow.
For the record, 1900 is hardly "international"

Yeah T-Mobile either seems to be really fast, or just plain sucky. Luckily I live in a place where it's really fast
The TMO 3G situation at my place is quite amusing. I can get around 1-2mbps from where I am, but if I drive about 2 miles in one direction I'll get 4-5mbps easily. Go the opposite way 2 miles and I am lucky to get 700kbps. Would be great to see the backhaul to the surrounding towers upgraded a bit more.
anyone else in 4G land experiencing the same problem?

Can you do this repeatably? I think this is probably a case of bad sample data. 4G speeds tend to fluctuate *wildly* because of a.) environmental impacts of a 2.5GHz signal (ever tried to measure actual WiFi performance on a laptop over 802.11n? You'll see what I mean - no two tests are remotely the same) and b.) Network congestion, usage, and number of devices, and c.) Signal strength. If you're indoors, don't even think about comparing 4G speeds, as the 2.5GHz frequency is terrible at penetrating buildings.
In order for your claim to be valid, it would be useful to have time-dependent data, and at least say, 10-20 test results. Then, the same after the update would be useful as well. I've seen 4G speeds on my Evo be 400kbit/s one day and 3.9Mbit/s another day, same place. My Epic 4G has given me speeds in excess of 5Mbit, but later tests didn't get the same performance.
I'm not saying that there's no chance you're right, but I'd say that *much* more data is needed. Try it again tomorrow, at different times, in different places. See how it stacks up. I'm just gonna put this as bad data. (Also, reboot your phone just in case you have a data hog running.)
Yeah you really can't tell anything by one or two tests. I just ran three tests and I got download speeds of 6300, 3200 and 5300. Uploads varied from 430kbps to 1300kbps.
I'm in a fairly poor signal area right now but even in good signal areas it can vary a lot. At work I get anywhere from 6000kbps to 9000kbps.
i just did 3 tests as well from inside my room with all but 1 bar and i am also in Brooklyn (a area that has 4g but it's not officially live yet) and my results were...
Download/Upload
7638/1142
6970/1128
8009/1119
I don't know what they were before but speeds like that are just fine for me i think it was just a random mess up for you
My 4g is fine.

you know whats worse? I live right in the middle of anahiem, ca with 5 bars at my house, running speedtest....
wow its even worse right now...
469down/1179up
best ive gotten from this location is:
1689down/1226up
Yeah the same thing is happening for me. My phones internet speed is faster than my dsl landline at home but with my landline I know I'm most likely going to receive consistent speeds, my phone's internet occasionally spikes and stops working. All I know is I can stream things off my phone so its always feasible to try watching House before I go to bed w/o having to turn on the laptop.
Lucky for u guys. My house sucks. My dsl is 786kbps unlesd I pay $50 a month for 3mb. Then my 3g/4g signal drops like a fly. So I only get edge at my house but if I go down the street.(about 8 houses over) I get 4-6mb 4g

Even after the 5GB soft cap, my cell phone is still quicker than my 1.5mbps dsl...

Hell i wish i could pay $15 can get your speeds i pay $15 with this crap as att and im only getting 786kb max but around 600kb normal. Its this crap ass block on im all the houses are in the stone ages. its either get satellite or cable there is no high speed dsl
and my cell phone if i hold it just right at just the right time in just the right temp i get 3mb. Now if i leave my house and go to the main street i get an easily 7-8mb down

I would love if it were possible to hack some driver to pop the radio up to 21mbps. Don't know if its possible but I've heard the radio for 7.2 is the same as 21mbps and that its just modulation that changes. Might explain why the vibrant plus will have the 21mbps capability.
