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.

My Little PRL Project

So with all of the PRLs floating aroundhere, especially lately, I wanted to do a bit of a project and see which one would be best for me. Here are my findings so far:
Test 1:
PRL: 60664
Download: 121.7kB/s
Upload: 83.2kB/s
Ping: 290ms
Test 2:
PRL: 01337
Download: 4kB/s
Upload: 20.2kB/s
Ping: +999ms
Test 3:
PRL: 31337
Download: 14.9kB/s
Upload: 20.9kB/s
Ping: +999ms
Test 4:
PRL: 60664 (again)
Download: 150kB/s
Upload: 87.3kB/s
Ping: 185ms
Test 5:
PRL: 60663
Download: 139.3kB/s
Upload: 73.2kB/s
Ping: 303ms
More results to come.
Info: My location is 90 miles North of Columbus, Ohio in a rural area. Sprint coverage is great here, but the internet ping time leaves something to be desired, so I am doing this project due to that.
Note: If you live within a few miles of me, then you should base your PRL choice off my data. Someone from Cali or Florida may have impressive results from PRL 01337, but that one was the absolute worst for me. Let this test be a guide for you to realize different PRLs give you different speeds.
These are my findings, and I do not believe ROM plays a factor. I also don't personally think PRI plays a factor here, since I am playing with PRL only. Radios can play a factor, and I have yet to find me a good one. Sick of the 5+ minute boot times with Fresh, reverting back to a clean install orf RegawMOD 2.1t.

Here in Austin, TX.
I actually get the best speed from Sprint's 60665 PRL. I tired VZW 01337, 31337 and 40064 and the best was Sprint. Go figure.

So Big Red obviously has more towers than Sprint, but I swear Sprints speeds are faster than VZWs. I used to tether on my BB Storm - and tether legitamatly for 29 extra a month - And only got maximum of 600kb down and 70 up. Not to mention when I was up in Canada they wouldn't let me use data at all! And Rogers and Verizon are like the same freakin company, you figure they would have a deal of some kind, but nope 1x the entire week I was there. Thought I was going to have EVDO withdraws.

01337 and 31337? hehe someone at VZ is a dork.

Project on hold due to not being able access ##775# with RegawMOD2.1t

OP updated with a new test

I'm in central kansas where alltel, now verizon, has always dominated the market. I tried both 01337 and 31337 prl's and found the original 606xx work better.

So will those Verizon PRL's give me Verizon coverage then? Where I live, Sprint has the weakest signal out of Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile.

those verizon prls that supposedly give u better signal blah blah is a joke... Sprint's 60065 prl blew those others outta the water hands down.

Only if you live in an area with poor sprint coverage and good verizon coverage they do work well.

Yes, you would connect to VZW towers. and *2 would go to VZW Customer Service.
This is possible without crazy roaming charges is that before Alltel was consumed by VZW, they had an agreement with Sprint about sharing tower coverage or something.

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.

Reselling WiMAX/promises of 4G

For the past two weeks, a startup company called OpenRange.net has been spamming my snail mailbox with postcards advertising their wireless service. It turns out that OpenRange is reselling Clear 4G WiMAX.
My home is not yet served by the Clear WiMAX network, though OpenRange claim sthat WiMAX will be in my area shortly.
Do they know something, or are they just flapping at the mouth in hopes of scoring a customer?
Is there some sort of listing or other informational posting that says when Clear will be adding WiMAX to existing towers?

OK maybe I should have been more specific. My general area already has WiMAX coverage, but the coverage limit is shown on the map as about a mile south of my home.
I live in Lititz, a suburb in northern Lancaster County. On the 2nd floor of my house in a very specific location, I can actually pick up the WiMAX signal from towers located south of me. I've edited my WiMAX settings to be lenient with SNR for connections and such in order to obtain that very, very weak signal (-95 dBm if I'm lucky).
That said, OpenRange has been soliciting my business now for two weeks, claiming that 4G is coming to my area. Either this is one stupid company stupidly spending money on sending me and my neighbors advertisements when they know we can't get a usable WiMAX signal in our neighborhood, or they know when Clear is adding WiMAX to my local tower.

I actually received a promotional email from sprint. In the email they told me that 4G was now in my town of Bethpage, Ny. I flash a 4g rom and nothing! I called sprint and told them about the email from them that I got saying it was available. The rep on the phone was very nice. He told me very soon. I asked if there was a ETA, and he just kept repeating VERY soon (there was alot of emphysis on VERY LoL). Later on I found out to check on clear.com Sure enough it comes up in my town, but when I put in my address nada!

Im from Harrisburg as well and I have 4G in my house.

I don't see anything in Lititz, but that may change later in the year. Currently though they are spamming you.

10 Mbps HSPA with AT&T on Atrix 4G

For the first time today I have experienced close to 10 Mbps download with AT&T for cellular download. This is pretty amazing. It tells me that:
- Additional T1 back haul are being added to increase bandwidth capacity
OR
- T3 back haul is being implemented for lte footprimt
The good news is that those of us with HSPA devices get increased bandwidth.
These test were conducted today at 4:30 pm, outdoors near West Farms Mall, West Hartford, CT USA on AT&T on the Motorola Atrix running epinter's. CM10.

As my town just finally gets 3G, a slow 2mbps 3G.

That's very impressive! I'm in Australia with what is supposed to be the best mobile network and I get 1.5Mbps on the Atrix using epinter 4.1.1

Awesome. Probably all the sheep moving to their new LTE pastures, freeing up HSPA for other devices.
Sadly still 3.5 down, 1 up for me.

No lte here yet. Possibly building bandwidth for the launch or just for what will always be higher data usage as time goes by. What I do know is that At&t lte is based on full t3 to the tower (45 Mbps).

I have had the same experience in Seattle. Portland is also pretty slow.

I enjoy a rare 5Mbps download speed twice a year. Every other day of the year I never pull out more than 300kbps. It's ****ing terrible. Everyone else's phone makes mine look terrible. And I have AT&T's faux 4g here. And I live in a capital city of 300000 people!

I'm in Chicago, and I'm averaging 3-6mb on BOTH my Atrix and SGSII. I doubt that I'll see 10 anytime soon here, oh well...

I'm in Phoenix here. Recently at my office my speeds dropped to about 1.5mbps down and 1.0mbps up. It's now back up. Yesterday was 5.3mbps and 1.1mbps up and today it's at 6.3mbps down and 1.25mbps up.
I think the slight dip was due to my work being on the edge of the Phoenix LTE zone and they are supposedly pushing it past the line. I live in the heart of Phoenix though and didn't see the change (Home I get a steady 3.0mbps and the old stand by of 1mbps up)
