Broke 6Mb/s (Post your 4G Records)

I just broke 6Mb/s, go figure the area I achieved this amazing speed isn't even listed to have 4G. See Map
Originally I had 3Mb/s in Chicago and now I only get 1.5Mb/s in the office.

Nice! I assume that was outside? I still haven't tried out my 4G outside where it is supposedly better. I know the signal sucks indoors.

I've gotten 2-4Mbps inside, but then again location really matters.

fastest i've got outside was 7.3 Mb/s in plano texas...dont have a screen shot though i randomly tried after dinner

fastest ive gotten in chicago is my sig... that was downtown, usually by my house near midway i get about 3-4 Mbps

plano??? i've been trying in dallas and i can BARELY get a bar of 4G. sounds like i need to run up to plano and check it out!

Dont have a screen, but got 8.14 while tethering to my laptop and downloading a torrent file. i consistently get 4-5 mbs per sec. while downloading using wifi tether on my laptop. I've noticed that in general my scores use the speedtest app aren't quite as good as it seems the bandwith ramps up after a little bit of usage. Ofcourse it fluctuates throughout, but I've noticed some pretty good speeds while i was downloading an 800 meg torrent file. The file took about 20 minutes to download which i consider pretty good for a completely wireless data transmission.

I got 700 kbps downstream once.....true story.

He probably meant 700 kilobytes/s. You were probably disappointed by 700 kilobits/s. 700 kilobytes/s is 5.6 megabits/s.

Those speeds are just evil!

those are such great speed and as i posted in another thread, one of my 4g speed tests resulted in 63kbps down and 924kbps up and i had 3 full bars at the time....i wonder if some these units dont have some sort of damage because really the best ive gotten was 2769 up and 865 down and i live in fresno tx which for some odd reason (its a small small town) its almost saturated in 4g

oh trust me i hardly get a good connection...but when im outside the most ive gotten was 2 bars...i dont understand why b/c on the sprint usb thing (dont know what its called) for 4g/3g i got 3 of 4 bars on 4g with no issues Inside my house...that was before the evo came out and got me really excited for the evo...but now i cant get 4g from the same exact location i tested the usb thing from...any explanations?

[Q] Virgin Mobile Speed tests

Can someone give me some of thier speed test results for the virgin Mobile network. I currently get 2 mb/s download and 1.6 upload with tmobile, But I will be ditching my tmobile plan and selling my Vibrant. Tmo has me pissed off.
I will be buying the intercept and i will also be tehtering with it. Does the Mobile AP work on the froyo update for this phone?

lol 65 views and no one can answer?

My father uses samsung intercept with virgin mobile. You can take a long piss in the bathroom before google.com loads on that phone. The phone is allright but their network is just horrible. Im looking at below .5 download slash upload speeds

I live in Winter Garden FL and get about 600k down and 120 up.

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..

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.

here close to dallas on my virgin mobile.. im getting 1.2 d and 400 up

Should not be a data cap on speed, just bandwidth. 5Gb per billing cycle.
Edit: Lucky, I only get about 3Mbs on Wi-Fi and I am paying my cable company for 5Mbs. On cell the my worst is 190Kbs, but my best is only 761Kbs -and that only happened once. The other six times I tested over the last three months it was right at 200Kbs

^ What he said. Never heard of a speed cap. That would blow. I saw just about 6mbps yesterday in a good area so I know its not capped at 4.9.
The data cap however is 5GB/mo, and I am throttled to 0.06mbps on my regular tmo APN as a result of going over. Thankfully we have a workaround for the throttle using a different tmo APN.

Cap or hardware limitation? The highest I've personally seen on mine is 6.02 down. I'm pretty sure the hardware limitation is about 7

The Samsung Vibrant has a maximum network speed of 7.2Mbps. Which is the equivalent of like 800-900 kb/s actual download speed. I live in Tacoma, Washington and my speedtest is usually around 6 or so Mbps. So even without the "4G" it's still damn fast. Considering most home internet connections are around 2.7-4.2 Mbps.

How do you figure?
The only thing I can figure is that you are confusing Kilo Bits per second with Kilo Bytes per second and failing to use the correct labels to differentiate between them. A Byte is 8 Bits so 7.2Kbs is 900KBs, however you stated Mbs which still puts you off by 1000bps. That is a full Meg per second off and 5 X more than I get over the air just in your error margin.

14Mb per sec on wifi...
I have 20Mb service at home and the fastest that my vibrant will download at is 14.4Mb
On 3G the fastest i've hit was a little over 5Mb. It's funny that my 3G phone is almost as fast as Verizon's 4G which they're showing as 7Mb. Verizon's 3G on my DroidX has never hit speeds over 1Mb. Sad. My 3G phone is as fast as Sprints 4G. Lol.

Nah I think he's right. 7.2 Mb's = .09MB (almost 1MB per second) 1Mb = 1/8MB so he was right when he said 900KB although he put kb (lowercase)
For instance at home on my 20Mb connection I can only really download at 2.5MB's per second.
**edit** looks like VZW's LTE should be able to hit 42Mb's but no phone out right now will come anywhere near those speeds.

I love how this has turned into a nerdier version of the "their/there/they're" argument.
That being said, technically the k should be lower case, not uppercase.

Where do you live in Tacoma where you actually get hspa+? I'm in University Place and I have to go up to Renton to get hspa+ service. Then again I've been out of town for about 2 weeks. I also don't know anyone with that ****ty of a home internet connection in a populated area. I hear you though, maybe in other places or bad carriers :shrug:
Basic internet from Comcast:
Download Speed: 23390 kbps (2923.8 KB/sec transfer rate)

I have 35/35 FiOS at home, I see 43/38 on my pc and 20/12 to my vibrant connected via wifi to a ubiquiti nanostation loco m 2.4 n 2x2 mimo. Those speeds are in megabits. I used speedtest.net on pc, and their app on my phone. Im in the philadelphia area and I choose the washington dc.test server. I also use pf altq(hfsc) on my firewall for QoS fwiw.

Could we please stop talking about what speeds you guys are getting? I am in the Boise Idaho market and I get 3Mbps out of the 5Mbps advertised. Oh, and I pay $60 a month for it. You are all making me depressed.

Forgot to mention using voodoo enabled. Also whe my phone was stock I couldnt seem to break 4mbit on the upload, the download wasnt as good as it is now but I cant recall the exact speed, but the upload really bugged me

really? cableone i'm guessing? that sucks. i get solid 10Mbps down from them for like $55-60/month including modem rental.
best i've got on tmob network is about 4.5Mbps down (no hspa+ here, yet). looking through my history i've got 11.5/5.8 down/up at boise state on wifi, 9.55/1.05 at home, but i think i've got better at boise state before.

Caldwell, yes Cable One. Are you one of their fiber customers? That is not available out here yet. The only other time I have seen Cable one offer 10Mb was to business customers, and that is a totally different subsidiarity of Cable One.
Edit: I just checked their packages and it looks like they have changed them. Still, if they can't provide my full rate now I would just be paying more for the same connection. I am in an old bundle.

yeah, it's just updated and doesn't cost much more, same modem and everything i just called and upgraded. then i wasn't getting much for improved speeds so i called them and evidently the line to my house somehow got mangled so they replaced it (free). i'd call them and ***** if you aren't getting your speeds because i almost always get full 10 down regardless of peak hours.
but sadly qwest is cheaper and faster, but where i live (sw boise) qwest doesn't even offer service so cableone is my only non-dialup/non-clear option. but cableone hasn't been too bad, for internet at least, tv and customer service is a whole other issue. lol.

ive pulled 6mb down when i tether it to my ps3 to play online.

My god, is this really true?

My 3G speeds are not any better.

Last two tests:
268 down, 370 up
259 down, 282 up

This is not good, I bet others are having the same problem regarding the modem update. This is gonna turn out bad. Other people who have not D/L speedtest from the market please do so, and give us your results. This will give us a good census of if this modem is completely f-ed for us in the states, and not Korea.

Did you pick the nearest server? Obvious, I know, but I just want to cover all the bases.

4g:
4801 d / 987 u
3616 d / 958 u

I just got 700KB down and 400KB up. This was on my second closest server. When i used the closest server i only got 99KB down and 60KB up. Try a different server.

1367 down 642 up. Its not a EB13 issue.

hmm.. I'm getting only 256k down on 3g but over 7mbps on 4g atm...
my 3g used to be around 3mbps give or take.. I'll not write anything into it untill i can test it again tomorrow. might be a network issue

on 3g After eb13

.15 mbps up
before eb13 update,
1.56 mbps down
.75mbps up
On 4g after eb13
2.36mbps down

hope this helps fellas

This info is useless without knowing how many bars of signal you have. Low signal = slow speeds

764 down, 642 up. 4g wasn't much better, but I wsas surprised it even connected at home (never had before). Not sure how accurate the app is tho... the instant results where all over the place with 4g speed bursting over 3Mbps for a fraction of a second.
Edit: 1 bar 4g, 2-4 bars 3g.
Edit 2: somethings definately not right... kinda doubt its the modem. I ran the test on wifi, and the best I got as 6433Kbps down & 1514Kbps up... I have 12x1.5 uverse and a test on my laptop yielded 10Mbps/1.5Mbps off the same server.

Network Quality on Verizon

Hey all, so it's been a couple of days and getting to the point, I've been getting roughly 6-12 Mbps on the phone as download speed and sometimes but very rarely making it to 20. I live in a very suburban, non congested area as well so I don't know if it's just me, but has anyone else on Verizon had this slow data issue and if so is there a solution?

I'm getting pretty much the same speed as my pixel 3 XL was. It's probably a tad bit slower but in everyday use I cant tell any difference

I'm getting great speeds

Thanks for this tip! I've always had crappy network speeds since they reintroduced the new "unlimited" plans (in my area it went from getting 50 Mbps down to like 2 Mbps) after that. And of course Verizon refuses to accept they did anything on their end to cause the decrease in speed. But anyways on my 6T I was getting around 4 Mbps down and after changing to LTE/CDMA/UMTS (Auto) I'm pulling around 20 Mbps down!

I have a tower behind me a few hundred yards. Just pulled 80 down and 11 up. Same network settings.

I am getting similar speeds to what I got on my G7.

No problem, but just a fair warning sometimes the phone will automatically revert itself back to the other one because of the"auto"status of this version. I was experimenting more and found the permanent fix to be changing it to "LTE/WCDMA"

Seems to be hit or miss for me. The other day I got this (https://www.speedtest.net/result/a/4400707884) 70 down and 20 up. But then sometimes I wont get more than 5. Still definitely faster than my note 8 ever was tho. I love this phone man.

Knox, Tennessee area, 58MB down, 6 up.

Every test I have ran has been great!! Multiple times and locations!
