Att Nexus One ATT and T-mobile speed test.

Lets keep this thread clean, pics or info only about the differences between the t-mobile n1 and the ATT n1. Hopefully this thread will help out people to see the difference between the n1 for both services. Reception wise. And to compare how are signal strength between the two phone.
I just received the tmo version, and just ordered this after the ATT version (since im still an att customer) and will return the tmo version as soon as i get the att one (should be by friday). And cancel my new tmo account.
So tonight ill post up tmobile speeds and as soon as i get ATT n1 ill post that up as well. Anybody else willing to add in please do so!
So lets start this:
Area: Southern California
T-mobile nexus one stock rom 2.1update1
Baseband: 32.24.00.22U_4.03.00.21_2
Build number ERE27
Signal 2 bars on 3g (best spot in my house, ill upload ones tested outside of the house)

Thats horrible... I get 1800 kbps download and 640upload in portland OR.... ill post later.....tmobile... good thing ya getting your att one....

i get great download speeds but much slower upload speeds. my most recent test was 4.39 Mbs d/l & .33 Mbs u/l. see pics in this thread. i'm using T-Mo N1, MoDaCo Desire ROM-Alpha 12 w/ERE27 Radio and 3G access in Dallas.

yes it is HORRIBLE!!! thats why im glad i didnt cancel my att account and that att n1's are now available and that i have time to return the phone / close my tmo account with out a huge chunk out of my wallet.
i guess its meant to be?!?! lol
Anyways, back to the thread, keep em coming, and hopefully if people around your area decided to get the n1, can be assured that they wont be dissatisfied with the service. Or at least have a little in deciding which carrier branding to get.

Ok reposting tests.
Area: Southern California
T-mobile nexus one stock rom 2.1update1
Baseband: 32.24.00.22U_4.03.00.21_2
Build number ERE27
Signal 2 bars on 3g
(best spot in my house, ill upload ones tested outside of the house)
2nd test
(i couldnt wait for the ATT version to arrive, so i popped the ATT SIM card on the tmobile n1)
Everything the same even the spot where i tested it from.
Signal: EDGE full bars
As you can see this is just sad for my case. ATTs EDGE beats out T-mobiles 3g (2 bars). So im guessing the ATT n1 will the choice of phone for me.
Friday is the delivery date of the phone, will post the results by then.

Why is T-mobile's upload so much faster than the download? Is that normal?

I was wondering that too.....my best upload was 1230 kbps while my best dl is 800 kbps. separate times but both with full bars on 3g.
But tmobile will be cancelled on friday . so i didnt bother calling them and asking them why is that.

the tmo band n1 one on the att network was getting .20, so very big difference. was good for light web browsing and email, thats about it.
oh those are in mbps

Well this would only be useful for someone that lives in the same area as you. All carriers reception varies widely depending on where you're located. For instance, here is what I'm getting on T-Mobile and why I won't be changing carriers anytime soon:

AT&T N1 in Rancho Cordova, CA
793 download and 800 upload on speedtest.
I had AT&T on TMo N! but only had edge of course so can't compare.

Atlanta, GA
Sitting in my home office, brick house, full bars.
Test 1
Download: 2618kbps
Upload: 1316kbps
Test 2
Download: 3349kbps
Upload: 1210kbps
Damn, this thing is fast. Maps is essentially instantaneous in updating the page.

Here's what I got on my AT&T N1. The bottom result is of course on Wifi. The rest are on 3G.
The results are in Mbps.

Thats true, but thats why i wanted more people to share their results and please include your area. So the more people we have sharing the more area we get covered. And hopefully whoever is browsing here will most likely be in an area that someone had already posted.
**And to everyone, sorry to be a pain, but could you please include area, how strong is the signal and either 3g or EDGE, which version of the phone (att/tmo) and which carrier you are using. That way speedtests, pictures, and info are all in one post! thanks!**

2900 kbps down and 957 kbps up on ATT in Columbus, OH
That's using speedtest.net app.
I was getting over 3000 down lastnight. ATT is awesome. I dunno why people give it such a bad wrap...

All depends on where you are but I believe AT&T generally has more backhaul to their towers than T-Mobile.
Unless they're experiencing congestion, then AT&T is often faster. But in major cities like NYC, AT&T does sometimes have congestion problems.
In some areas, you'll see extraodinarinly fast speeds on T-Mobile (5-6mbps in Philadelphia and parts of New York). Over the next several months T-Mobile is increasing backhaul to their towers so you'll see speeds like this all over their network soon enough.
That's really the bottom line here...and if they have good coverage in your area my preference would be to T-Mobile, having used both networks.

I am in the 626 so-cal area and I typically get around 800/600 through T-Mobile. My friends on att get similar numbers on their iPhones.

Tests from NYC and Northern NJ on T-Mobile:

T-Mobile 3G - Kansas City, KS
Down: 1479 kbps
up : 223 kbps

I'm getting 1580 down and 1740 up in Denver, CO using AT&T N1, 3G, full bars.

Nexus One Speed test on TMO HSPA+

Looks like they finally flipped the switch in Seattle for HSPA+.
Probably related to this news release today:
T-Mobile Expands Super-Fast Network and Availability of T-Mobile® webConnect Rocket™ USB Laptop Stick to Cover 25 Major Metropolitan Areas
This is the fastest my Nexus One has benched to date. Not bad for a 7.2Mbps HSPA max radio...

Nexus One on TMO HSPA+ in Seattle (June 16, 2010)​
UPDATE: For reference, this is what the HTC EVO 4G does on Sprint WiMax/Clear in the same location where I did the TMO HSPA+ test:
HTC EVO 4G on Sprint WiMax/Clear Network in Seattle (June 16, 2010)​
Cheers,
Kermee

Congrats, GO TMOBILE
now bring some HSPA+ love to Las Vegas

Really need it here in Sacramento

I guess its here in Tulsa, Oklahoma! When i get back home this weekend i'm gonna have to check it out.

so make a thread about it!

Dear T-Mobile,
Come visit us in south florida, the oil hasn't hit the coast yet, it's till sunny and beautiful. The only thing missing if your delicious speed. We are still struggling with measly .5mbps/.3mbps speed.

Here's my AT&T Nexus One, same speeds, ran the test 4 times in a row. Los Angeles, CA server.

Nice! -- Yeah... It'll be nice to see what sort of "real world" scenarios of devices that have 21 Mbps HSPA+ compatible radios in them. The 7.2 Mbps max on the Nexus One on the TMO version really hampers it from taking full advantage.
Cheers,
Kermee

Here is Rogers Canada.

Los Angeles please...home of the NBA Championship team Lakers.

Glad it finally came to Seattle! Too bad I'm about 20 miles south of Seattle and it doesn't reach my area.

Sorry, but Nexus One, doesn't support HSPA+.

Here's Portland Oregon. Decent ... good speeds just need a better signal

Sorry, but Nexus One doesn't support HSPA+! (http://www.google.com/phone/static/en_US-nexusone_tech_specs.html)
Nexus One is "just" HSPA=HSDPA+HSUPA (7.2Mbps & 2Mbps).
HSPA gives up to 14.4Mbps DL and 5.7Mbps UL.
With HSPA+ you can reach up to 56Mbps (with MIMO and 64QAM).
AT&T might be upgrading their IP backhaul and backbone...
I've reached 4.7Mbps and 1.3Mbps in Movistar Chile.

What are you referring to? The AT&T Nexus One is also limited to 7.2mbps...

Washington DC
Fairfax to be exact:

I hate you all.

I can't wait till T-Mobile expand it to San Francisco. I'll take 3mpbs any day.

Chicago Needs some HSPA+

Does anyone know when Tulsa will see 4G?

Please add an info at will...

ummm... Jesse?

I would like to know as well

probably be a while...

Not currently on the radar.

Its a small world after all..... how ya been?

Not sure this will be the same as OKC but I saw in the sprint forums OKC was scheduled first of 2011, but Best Buy says it probably be this fall and in some places in Oklahoma 4g is being tested... i would take that with a grain of salt though.

I've heard that they are setting up the infrastructure and testing it. I'd imagine it would be sometime 2011. Again, just hearsay though.

I used to work at the sprint call center in okc that has 4g tech support (i know y have 4g tech in a place that has no 4g) they told us okc will get it in the spring where the call center is on nw expressway and council there is a 4g tower next in but they won't turn it on

As far as Tulsa goes, I turned on 4g yesterday on my epic and was able to pick up a weak signal around 7st and memorial. I guess Sprint is in the testing phase right now

I connected at 71st and Mingo. It took some scanning but I finally connected with 2 bars.

Do you think maybe the store at 71 across from the QT between Memorial and Mingo may have a small 4G tower to show it off, and you are picking that up? Or do you think they have actually started turning it on in Tulsa.

No, I called my buddy at that store and asked if 4g was officially here, he said no but it is in testing phase. I also asked of they have a 4g airave installed and he said that they did not. So welcome to beta wimax in tulsa.

Well I'm at 71 a Yale, but on a CM 6.2 with no 4g. I guess I will try out the the 4G version of it tonight.
Will post later on what I get at 71 and Yale.

My Sprint store said that Fort Smith Arkansas would see it around the end of 2011. We are way smaller than Tulsa so I would say before then?

Sprint 4g in Tulsa
There is a Sprint 4g tower on in downtown Tulsa. Signal is weak but the speed is great. Can't wait for more towers to be activated.

I connected to 4G in Stillwater tonight so it has to be real soon

Pics or it didnt happen? I got some screenies,
I was sitting at Haruno Sushi Bar at a booth inside by the Sushi Bar. On a side note they have the best Sushi in town
I was fluxing between 0-2 bars.

Speed Test.

4G is soo FAIL
LOL about 1/8th of what I've gotten on Tmobile in the same areas on my Nexus One. But I'd still rather have Sprint because Tmobile bounces between Edge, 1G, 3G, and HSPA nonstop, without your phone ever moving. Nothing like waiting for HSPA to kick in while your waiting for a simple weather widget to refresh. I'll be curious to see what Sprint does when its finally rolled out here but I am not hopeful it will be anykind of useful. At least with Sprint I can turn the nonsense off and they are a little faster than Cricket.
4G = FAIL

I had to get some information sprint store, so after I got it I started playing with phones. I ran an online speed test with an evo versus my nexus. With 4 g the htc handed me my ass.
My prl is 60679, you can see in the picture what the other phone is. the nexus on display has the same 1 also. I have grj06 and the display has 22. To make matters worse, side by side, the display gets 10db more signal than I do. Man I'm pissed! Does anyone have an answer for this?

Lots have this prl. I think its people with corporate discounts. It roams 3g unlike yours
Uncle Jimmy says hello

Or something else I was thinking, it could be if the phone is ever stolen, that the tower nearest the store is the only one it will work on. Next time I go to a different sprint store, I should check the phone and see if it is the same number

I've had PRL 01115 since 4/21/11 on my phone. Try Speakeasy speedtest you'll be a lot happier with the results!

I have the same PRL. So what does this mean?

I have never seen 01115 on any smartphone I've had. You on sprint? What part of the country are you? I'm s.e. The mysterious and allusive prl. Funny I've never read about that one in the evo section and there's lots of activity there.

I'm on Sprint in the Minneapolis area.

This prl is not entirely new although it is the most current, along with 60679. While on 60677, some got 01115 and others got 60678. From what i have heard, 01115 connects to 3g while roaming. 606** series does not
Uncle Jimmy says hello

Yes 01115 is for those of you who have corporate discounts.

So what does this mean for my connectivity other than that my phone will connect to 3g while roaming?

Details on Sprint PRL's 60678 and 1115 by darkfire79 04:23 PM 04/29/2011 -- [Reply]
Here are the details copied from the XDA forum. hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056648
Here is the lehman terms about the PRL's. People who are on individual accounts will be receiving PRL 60678. It will not have 3G Data Roaming enabled.
Business and corperate accounts will be receiving custom PRL 1115, which does enable 3G Data Roaming in the six states listed below.
For all the details please read the attached files. You didn't get these from me
National & Custom PRLs Available for FL, MI, OH, WVA, & WI
Sprint has released Custom PRL 1115 and National PRL ending xxx78 that will impact subscribers who roam in these states.
Custom EVDO PRL 1115 – Provides Business IL and CL subscribers with continued 3G/Mobile Broadband roaming services.
Consumer accounts in these states will experience a loss of 3G/Mobile Broadband roaming services. Refer to PRL Newsflash (xxx78).
Delivery of this Custom PRL is dependent on eligible Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) Phones/PDAs and Mobile Broadband devices.
Devices not eligible to receive the Custom PRL will receive the National PRL and won’t have 3G/Mobile Broadband roaming in these areas.
National PRLs (10078/50578, 20278/60678 and 60778) - Removes 3G/Mobile Broadband roaming coverage for all consumer accounts with push capable phones/PDAs and Mobile Broadband devices.
This coverage was previously enabled with PRL xxx77 and is now being removed since it didn’t provide the expected on-network capacity relief.
In an effort to strike the right balance between customer experience and roaming cost of service, the 3G roaming coverage will no longer be available for consumers but available to Business customers via Custom PRL 1115.
Consumers receiving these National PRLs will still have 1xRTT data roaming service available in the impacted states.
Sprint will begin proactively pushing the PRL to subscribers with in these locations first, then to the entire base. Subscribers with Mobile Broadband devices have to accept the PRL update prompt via SMARTview to receive this release.

Hmm interesting, I have the 01115 and I'm on a family plan.

switched from Evo to Nexus S 4G, had 1115 on my evo and originally had 60xxx number on my nexus s 4g, just checked and I'm on 1115...I have a corporate discount

Hmm, learn something new

My mother has a Samsung Transform and we're on the same plan. She has a 60xxx PRL. Did I just debunk the corporate discount idea?

T-Mobile Speed Test (unlimited International data roaming)

So I haven't seen a thread about this yet. Just want to start a thread to keep some interesting data of speeds when using your free unlimited International data roaming.
I'll start with the first screenshot of my speedtest in Taipei, Taiwan. Roaming was fine and as soon as we landed, the text came welcoming us to Taipei on T-Mobile roaming.

same thing here, I was with sprint for over 10 years, I got fed up with the fake promises of this amazing 4g network they are building etc.
They finally got 4g here in Tucson, but they having problems with some spectrum that penetrates through buildings because of how close the border to mexico is, so we have half way decent 4g outdoors but no signal at all indoors.
And they are saying they will not be allowed to use that where I live for years to come, so its pretty worthless to be on sprint.

Here is my speedtest in Cusco, Peru. So far I done about 1.5gb of roaming on the free data.

NOVA speed for reference

Same story here! Switched to T-Mobile here in DC Metro area after not being able to connect to 4G inside the buildings on the lower floors. Also, no 4G inside my condo on the 3rd floor. It was just so incredibly annoying. The only thing I miss is a more reliable connection inside metro stations.

Please read the thread. We're sharing data info for overseas. This is for "unlimited international data".

This thread is pointless. You can connect to whatever network is available (3G, 4G... maybe even LTE) but it WILL cap your speeds to what you're seeing unless you pay for high speed data passes.

This is the same speed I got in Malaysia and Singapore. Its good for email and Whatsapp and GPS. Not good for youtube. Its better than nothing! Long live T-mobile and thank you!
