4g testing- post your speed tests results- plz - EVO 4G General

I haven't picked up an evo yet. I am wondering about the increase in speed of the 4g network.
If you would be so kind, could you post your area and your up and down result from the app 'speedtest'?
I will try and keep this post updated and see if we can have result from all of the 4g areas.
cheers,
ryan

Bandwidth Speed

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

[q] hspa+ speeds

I'm in Dallas where hspa + is already available, but using three speed test app the fastest download speed I've been able to get is about 2.5 mbs.
I just got the mytouch, but this seems to be slower than what I've seen reported. Anyone having similar issues, or know of a possible fix in the settings?

i wish the mt4g had a icon for 4g. i tried it in ontario where they claim to have 4g, but was only able to get a max download/upload speed of 3/2mb.
Same in Houston. 3meg is the fastest I've been able to get

Bummer, I was hoping it was just my phone. How the heck did t-mobile get the fastest network award? Oh well.

I get 6megs down here in Miami.
Constant speed is between 4-5 Mbps.

I've been getting 2-3 Mbps tops in Boston, a supposed HSPA+ city, though I haven't tried all over town or in Cambridge. But I was in Chicago last week and topped 7 Mbps in one location. So I just think it varies widely with exact location. Probably all it takes to call a city HSPA+ is a few cell towers with peak theoretical speeds of 14 or 21 Mbps or whatever.

Well, seems it' still not quite up to snuff in Houston. Best I've been able to get is 3.94 Mbps down (I saw that kind of speed on my 3g Vibrant).
After some phone calls and other investigations, I am thinking that their "4g" network isn't as all encompassing as the coverage map shows.
Accessing the testing menu, I can see that I am on either UMTS or HSDPA network, both of which are 3g (according to Tmo tech support).
So, just to make sure my phone wasn't the problem (was already refreshed on the network a couple of time by tech support and even did a master reset) I went down to a Tmo store that was shown to be in 4G coverage area and checked out a MT4G and G2. Neither of them showed connection to HSPA ot HSPA+.
So, dissappointing for sure, but I guess the phone was free (replaced my Vibrant) I can't complain.
You can call tech care with your speed test results and we submit a ticket to have engineers check it out. It's at least worth a try.

Contacted tech support this morning and they are supposed to check out the problem in a wide area.
My wife gets her MT4G Wednesday, so I will have another phone to go by. Obviously if hers sees the HSPA/HSPA+ network and mine doesn't I'll know it's my phone or a setting of some sort within.
I guess it just bugs me since the MYT4G and G2 I checked out also display 3g network connectivity in what is supposed to be 4g coverage area.
I'm in Salt Lake City where the coverage map shows 4g. I have gotten 3 to 4 Mbps speeds before 5 am. However, during the day, I'm getting around 2 mbps or less. My big problem is the coverage. When it drops from H to E, the browsing locks up. It:s like I get 3/4G or nothing. Has anyone else experienced this?
My AT&T Captivate runs almost as fast on 3G networks during the day, but it even gets just under 200 kbps on E. What gives? One of my employees has the MT4G also and find that E doesn't work either.

See my post here, also make note of the bolded section as that may apply to you:

Going through the build.prop files, I notice in all of the CM builds, that the throughput settings seem to be inaccurate. I can only assume this is because all phones they build for aren't HSPA+ compatible. I'm no expert (as wikipedia is my source here) but according to T-Mobile's HSPA+ specs, we're to achieve up to 21mbps download and 5.7mbps upload on their network. In the build.prop files for the MT4G, our ro.ril.hsdpa.category is set to 8. According to Wikipedia, this category should be set to 14 and at a minimum 10. I say 10 because i'm quite unsure of the MT4G's radio capability and documents I've read seem to suggest the G2 (similar to MT4G) is only capable of max download speeds of 14.4 mbps (which is category 10). However, setting category 14 doesn't seem to impede download speeds, so I set mine to that- just in case. On the flip-side, the ro.ril.hsupa.category is set at 6, which seems to be correct in supporting our max theoretical upload speeds of 5.7mbps. There are other factors that have to be considered as well, such as how many users are connected to a tower at any given time. HSDPA/HSPA+ is a shared data-link, much like your home internet connections. At home, I average between 2 and 4mbps downloads. There are times (usually REALLY late at night or early in the morning) where i've seen 8mbps and once 11mbps download speeds. I'm not quite sure I would have seen these speeds with my ro.ril.hsdpa.category set to 8 as it is in CM because that would indicate a cap in download speeds of 7.2mbps.
Then again, I could be completely wrong and none of this means anything. Just food for thought.

I also live in Dallas, but I commute 60 miles a day (roundtrip) and test all over the place. DFW Airport is supposed to be a HSPA+ hotbed. True to form, I get better speeds there and in Grapevine than most other places (with the exception of Frisco at times).
Typically i'm around 5Mbps i've maxed out @ 8.4Mbps down.

What part of cincy are you in? Where about do you test? I currently have the mytouch 4g on cincinnati bell. I tested an employees tmobile sim card at work and only got 3.4 not too good. Average was barely 1.2mbps or so. CBW I typically get around 2.8 plus at work and 2.3 at home.
Let me know about your area , thanks
I see on avg. 10MBp/s here in Phoenix,AZ.

I went to a Tmo store and asked where the closest 4g tower is located.. He told me.. I was within 30 feet of it and only pulled like 1.3.. kind of disappointing..
I live in orlando.. and we are covered by 4g.. so they say..
at my house we only get Edge or G .. not even 3 g.. it is horrible..

Just so you know just BC the tower is within 30 feet doesn't mean its faster. Actually it will probably be slower; think of the tower as just the placeholder the signal is focused outward and doesn't beam down beside it BC usually nothing is right under it. When I had Verizon there was a tower on my roof at my apt but I had no signal directly below.

4G is getting slower...any ideas what it could be?

My EVO used to record 4G speeds anywhere from 8Mbps to 13Mbps here in Brooklyn, NY.
Noticed it didn't seem as fast the past few weeks and Speedtest shows im only getting around 2.5-3Mbps.
I've tried a bunch of stuff and nothing has seemed to help.
Updated to lastest radios - Check
Update profile - Check
Check for RSA Keys - Check (have them)
My phone shows as having full 4G reception but the speed is just not there
My 3g speeds are also realllly reallly slow (around 0.5-0.9Mbps)
Please help me figure out whats up
Maybe more users are connecting to the 4g now.

Iz stealing your 4G's..
Seriously there seems to have been a problem with the network today, was having an issue connecting to 4G in NJ, but once I got to midtown I was getting a connection, and decent data rates.
I was in Tampa last week and was getting about 3.5 down. That was the first time I got to use 4G so I don't know what speeds there have been like.

its because they are systematically replacing all the towers and infrastructure with the new upgraded equipment so that they can announce an industry first 1gb/s speed on feb7!!!
4G on Sprint anyway is so damn overated.
Had galaxy s for a while on TMobile.... and it was faster consistantly on 3G than my Evo on 4G. Don't even try then and match Evdoh to any other 3G.
Sorry... doesn't help your issue, I know.

Please post up your mobile speed test results. Looks like carriers are improving

I just did a speed test with my G2X and it seems as though speeds on several carriers are improving including T-Mobile and Cricket. I am just curious to see the kind of speeds other people are getting so please post your results in this format:
HTML code for your speed test results
City,state
And please mention if this is an improvement to your previous speeds. Thanks. I actually just got a 12Mbps speed test with my g2x. If you're not sure how to get these results please visit mobilespeedtest.com via your phones browser

MetroPCS Access Point Setup?

So I've recently got a new device and I think I'm not getting the full 4G speeds I should be getting. My phone is not an LTE phone it's only 4G so could someone kindly post their setup so that I could try it out please? I live in a city so there for I should be getting decent speeds. Here's a pic of speeds I'm getting.
