4G speeds?

Here is the story: http://www.androidspin.com/2010/03/17/its-twoo-its-twoo-4g-speed-is-a-reality/
Is it possible to develop and get us rooted users on 4G? I am a little uncertain of what the article is assuming.

i dont believe it but if its true... WOW

Yeah, Im not sure what a developer could do, to piggy back these speeds.

Hmmm.
1.3mbps on 4G? That's it? And which 4G? You mean Sprint's WiMAX? Or someone else's 4G network that has not been built yet?
I'm calling it. Shenanigans.

I am uncertain as well and those sure don't look like 4G speeds to me. However, I think there are hardware limitations that will prevent the N1 or any current phone from taking advantage of 4G. I don't believe it is equipped with the proper antenna and therefore maxed out at 7.2mbps

Interestin, thou by looking at dl speeds its not uncommon for me(I'm in Seattle) to get 1.5-2mb dl speeds, which is significantly faster then my DSL at home: )

Yes but that's on 3G. 4G brings theoretical speeds up to 21mbps

I figured as much, and call it shenanigans aswell....thou i must say 21mb speeds on my n1would be awesome:drool: blah id settle for 5-7mb

Yeah I definitly call BS.

T-Mobile HSPA+ Speed Test

No, 21 Mb/s is still considered 3G,or 3.75G.

My 3g is faster.

Misuse of terms for standards makes unicorns cry.

i'm in Dallas and i'm getting stellar download speeds on T-Mo 3G, but uploads are a different story (see below). with 4G, would we see higher upload speeds as well???

There is no 4G on T-Mobile, not for a while, and our phones don't do 4G.

I'm not sure I would call 21mbps 4g (whatever that's supposed to mean). Here in Norway there is already a company that has a working LTE-network up and running (although only in the capital) and that has a theoretical top speed of 100mbps. Think the net is limited to 50mbps atm, but I've yet to meet anyone that has bought a modem (no, it's not compatible with current phones).

Not sure what you are getting at?

3g speeds

what kind of 3g speeds are you guys getting.... i'm only averaging about 350-400 kbps here in hawaii on stock rom.

We're lucky where I live...mobile speed test says: 4325kb/s...not the worst ever...lolol...and I get about that when I speed test while tethered...
~Jasecloud4

I only get 700-800kbps the couple times I tested mine.

228 kbps

What speed test utility do you use when you're tethered? mobilespeedtest.com is known to give wildly inaccurate (sometimes even impossible) results..

Hello Everyone,
I find if I use Opera Browser for www.mobilespeedtest.com I get realistic results.
If I use IE browser, I get some very unrealistic results.
Also, Read My Thread Here, I think we are being throttled but T-Mobile's network limiting the RWIN.
Even run the TCP/IP Analyzer yourself.
Thank you,
Monnie

700-800kbps pretty much always (but i'm in the middle of nowhere so I'm not surprised)

230 kbps in dallas TX. Every time i call them they say there's a outage i sip code blah blah blah. When i tell them im no using those towers they say well its the entire city....And there script is "we don't guarantee high speed internet as long as your able to connect" On my Nexus one i got 500kbs all the time...I don't know what to say but lease sprint hurry with EVO

600-700 kpbs depending where I'm at

HA you guys are all lucky im in CT and get 200kbs and max of like 230 lmao! horrible!

I have never got it that fast in a mobile in Brazil before, very pleased.
Connected to PC as modem, I get from 1000 to 4500, but this is a problem from TIM, I don't know why but they cannot limit my connection when connected to PC, normally it should be limited at 1Mbit for my plan.

Sam here in fairfield county, CT. Im getting 126kbps in opera mobile...even though I have an 'H' icon on the task bar! PIE gives me unrealistic results, which never translates into real world usage speeds. im gonna be so jealous when the Evo 4G drops for sprint. Ive always gotten upwards of 2 or 3MB in my area with sprint's 3G service. I love my HD2, but tmobile's crappy, unstable data speeds, kinda brings down the excitement a few notices.

Is anyone trying to use the hd2 w/ the flex pay internet plan?
I'm paying $10 a month for unlimited internet. It worked fine on my unlocked iphone 3gs.

Ok cool, thanks...I just thought you were saying you had used speedtest.net, and I just cringe whenever I hear anybody referring to test results from there. Sometimes they're spot on, but sometimes they're flat out rediculous, and the results are all over the place...enough so for me to not be willing to guess which ones can be believed and which can't

what are your speeds?

ok, so like many of you i've had the phone since the 15th and unlike some of you, i like it. lol it's actually my 1st android smartphone. i think it's decently fast, and according to the specs, it's supposed to be. i was just curious what people's speeds were.
i live in chicago and am gettin on average .65 mbps download and .55 mbps upload. are these good numbers? now when i'm on my wireless i've gotten 9.58 mbps download and 3.00 mbps upload. which is obviously way better but just on tmo's 3g, are those good??? i cant wait for HSPA numbers here in chicago but it's not here yet. :/ anyways, what kinda numbers are you guys gettin? thanks...

I get close to 3mb dl and 1.5ul when I'm at work at the port of l.a. and around .45 dl and .75 ul when I'm at home in long beach, ca. on my wireless I get around 14.9mb dl and 3.5mb ul on verizon fios.
Sent from Samsung Vibrant using XDA App

I average about 1mb downloads and .6 uploads. Most ive seen was about 1.4 mb

2.2 Mb Down 1.2Mb Up in New York City.

It's in my sig.

so are my 3g speeds ok? lol i mean i dont really notice it bein that slow like some others complain but bein my 1st andriod phone, i'm not really sure what kinda speeds i'm supposed to get. i'm assuming regardless of you being on tmo, the 3g speeds still vary from city to city or region to region rite?

They're not HSPA+ but they are normal for the regular 3G network.

UMTS. What I find odd is that my phone will say I'm connected to HSPDA but then after a moment it kicks over to UMTS..but overall, I get good speeds.

Heres mine.... 4.5 MB/s down and 1.3 MB/s up
http://www.speedtest.net/android/7712264.png

I get about x3 MB download and.5 mb upload

ok, mine is in my sig, but these are not average results. Its really weird that I can sometimes get up to 6mb down and almost 2mbs up but only at the rear entrance of the building I work in. My average is about 600k to 900k all over northern Georgia.
I thought that 600k was really slow thats because I was using a G1, with the Vibrant 600k is plenty fast for what I use it for.

Crappy 3g data speeds check in city,state,zip.

Thought this may be helpfull as i have been reading people are contacting important people and sending emails to them saying that this issue isnt hardware or a given area issue. There are multiple threads with numerous reportings everywhere, so how bout we just put in one thread peoples where abouts. I guess just copy and past and continue with your city, state, zip code to show it is a nation wide issue. Please try to include an image LINK for proof of your issues...example is below. ALSO PLEASE CONTINUE FORMAT LIKE PPOSTED IN POST #5.
Seems like sprint just put out a new prl update...just dled it and got 1.11dl and .56 ul. Hope it stays that way. Update 3/3/11 nope bs dl speeds are back.

Woohooo!!!! Getting better each time I run a speed test!!!

Before November, I would easily get 2mbps down and 1.5mbps up, even with no bars. After November, I cannot get above 100kbps, with it usually being under 50kbps. Works fine in my home with my Airave, and works fine on Verizon's PRL, so this means its a problem with sprints network.

Well sprints new prl update 60676 only worked for about an hour thenbback to bs speeds.

actually what you have there is kilobits per second, not kilobytes. Take your number and divide by 8 and that will be the number of kilobytes you are getting.
bits= b
bytes = B

Significant data speed increase over the last week

I have had a significant better data connection over 3G in the last week. From .6mb to a steady 1.6mb the last few days.
Sprint finally widening bandwidth due to Dan Hesse announcement about sticking with unlimited data and the release of their top notch android phones around the corner?
I think so

Nowhere near complete but some areas could have added capacity, such as yours.

As much as I would like to believe that, I doubt it. My speeds vary that much every few days. Whenever I think somethings improved, day or two later I'll be right back at 500-600kbps.

I have also seen an increase in the last 7-10 days. From about 650-700 then to about 1000-1100 now.....

My location was tweaked and upgraded a little over a month ago now.

I've seen this, too, but just on about 1/3 of the places/towers I'm at, and then it varies between 400 and 1.4 down/300 - 600 up. I think they are updating some of the towers, but they'll probably never update the one that I get connected to when I'm at home. ;(
Haven't seen any towers with new hardware on them either. ;(

After seeing this thread, I did some speedtests and looks like they fixed something here in Detroit too. Here's a screenshot of the tests I did this morning. Also, my slingplayer doesn't pause like it used to because data speed was so slow.

i am seeing better data rates as well. Providence, RI

I just checked mine and they are the same as always.... Very very low...
And it doesnt matter which rom I use, its the same across the board. Even the stock rom.
Edit: Those higher speeds were in the AM... Always good in the early morning but the rest of the day the speeds suck.

I got this while at a red light yesterday on 4G of course. But Sprint and Clear have the areas of focus wrong. They have been focusing on roads instead of housing developments and office buildings. It isn't like I can use 4G while driving.
