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

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 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

Hey guys, I was downloading a 12 mb file from my gmail and I noticed the download speeds were 400+. is it just me or the service got an update?
I tried finding information on tmobiles site with no positive results. I retried my download 2 more times still the same. Will I be charged if this is an error? btw I live in New York.
they are updating to 7.2 speed, first places are chicago and new york, so your one of the lucky ones.

I beg to differ, if they expanded first it would cost more money to upgrade all of the new towers. Now they just have to update what they have, and expand with better towers.

agreed. In Boise the "other 3" networks are offering 3g coverage.
Same old 3G speeds here in NYC.
is it odd that i never get 3g in Louisville, Kentucky? or is there just not much 3g coverage around that area?

"there's a map for that!"
I can vouch they uped everything in the Chi.
I live way north of Chi in bumble **** where supposedly I wasnt suppose to get 3G about 2 weeks ago it lit up.
This picture is running Ubuntu, new wired tethered app, and update running in bg.
As I get closer to the City its much faster. ...
I'm in Chicago as I type this (Lincoln Park and Downtown), and I have to say I'm disappointed in the speeds up here. I've only seen download speeds in the 400ish mbps, whereas in Toledo, OH, I routinely get between 600 and 750 mbps. I'm guessing it's because of the sheer number of users on T-mobile's 3G here, as opposed to Toledo. Still, I would have expected T-mobile to strengthen the network to reflect the larger number of subscribers here.

Damn, 4mbs, wow im impressed, those are some really good speeds
Maybe I should move to NY haha
I Live in Nj, ill definately be testing out my speeds whenever i get a chance to go to NY!
York, PA 30kbps on edge. I was getting 175kbps on at&t before I switched to tmobile. what is wrong with this picture. can porting your number slow down data speeds? just did another test 16kbps. it's been like this since I switched. when I first got my sim I tested it at 79kbps max. now this is what I get. could this be an ongoing network issue in my area or am I just getting screwed?
I barely get 700-800 in Chicago.. darn it.
My Tmobile 3G is very spotty and even in good areas I have never gotten more that 1Mbps.
I get 1.9 mbps down on my last test on 3g here Bellevue, WA (Seattle).
My 3G is always locked here in Vegas and I get around 800-900.
i must add that thats not typical.. i've had it happen in a few places.. but its not everywhere.. i usually see what everyone else does .. around 1mb/s up / down.. im actually curious what happens if we get another OTA update with the new radio.. as im not rooted yet
my Everyday speeds are around 1500-2300Kbps
Top speed 600kbps on HDSPA :c
i'm in new york city and i'm only getting 800 kbps
951 kb/s in San Diego, CA.
lol i get 500kpbs download in south florida... and 300 to 400 upload
sad panda lol
I live about 5 miles for the corporate offices in Bothell, WA... I get great speeds... (not to mention I used to work for them as well... lol)
i get like 900kbps in Sacramento, CA and at work i get like 300 download
Anyone live in Indianapolis or the surrounding areas? Since I switched to Sprint this month my 3G hasn't been faster than 600kpbs (on an extremely lucky day). It is more common to be between 100-300 kbps and I think that is a ripoff with an Everything Data Plan.
Anyone share my experience or have better numbers to provide?
Wish I knew out to check it, but dont know how. Im an android newbie. I can say this, every since switching to Sprint from both Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile, I have actually received better 3g signals and coverage at the workplace. If you show me how to check I will check.
I am receiving better 3g than before.
That seems about right to me... I actually am lucky to get that high on a speed test... Seems fairly fast when surfing or downloading from the market though. I agree that it seems a bit low.

I would kill for those speeds? Where are you at Dukins if you don't mind me asking? I live in Carmel and work over by the Pyramids so I'm mostly always on the North side.
I am lucky to ever be able to get 600kbps, I'm more likely to have 300kbps down or even 130ish. I have no clue why my 3g is so slow.
Edit: I just ran a test and got 95kbps downstream and 734kbps upstream.......

SID is the ID of the tower you are connecting to.
I work in Indy and have been trying to figure out what is going too. I was wondering if it was my custom ROM or because I updated my radio? Or if it was just the EVO itself.
The speed I'm getting is killing me right now! I know my speeds aren't as slow outside of Indy where I live.
Kind of annoyed that I'm paying extra and my download speeds are slower on my EVO than they were on my Hero.
Was wishing to have 4G....but hell I'd be happy with a decent 3G at this point!!!
I get crap speeds anywhere in Carmel/Westfield; bad Sprint towers in northern Indianapolis.
I talked to a Sprint Tech Support Rep who gave my phone a "network refresh". Sounded like bullsh*t, but afterwards I've been getting great speeds where I have a good signal. I've been getting up to 1.4mbps in downtown Carmel and in Broadripple.
Also she said we are getting 2 new towers on the north side of Indy, one off Hazel Dell Pkwy in August, and another in Westfield in December.
Well, I was a couple of miles from downtown this morning sitting at standstill in pouring rain and traffic. Did a speedtest and got around 1.5 MBPS down! I was happy with that.
However, when I was back at work...it was under 400k. Guess maybe it could be my office building?

I get similar speeds around my office (and nearby restaurants). I work up by the pyramids on the NW side of Indy.
I'm getting 1.4mbps down and 321kbps up on the north west side right now. I tested last night around the kessler/meridian area and got ~600kbps both ways.
What did you do for a network refresh?
Is anybody experiencing pathetic download speeds on 4g? I've been getting 128 kbps down the past two days (prior to this speeds were excellent). Upload speeds are good, so i'm inclined to think that this is a local issue? Any ideas?

My 4g speeds are back to normal.

my 4g speed hits 10-11mb/s on average right here in fort worth, right around the 820/35 area and pretty much up and down 820, all the way to jackborrow (sp)?
haven't tried downtown area yet but ill test it out and let ya know
Mine is very hit and miss the last few days. I will have periods of good speed, then it slows to a crawl. With tethered downloading I especially notice an initial burst of speed, then at times it slows to 10kb/sec =(.
Well i just found this snippet from some article
Clearwire told Electronista:
Throtting is based on the current utilization for each cell tower, and many low-use towers do not throttle speeds at all. For high-use towers, throttling occurs during peak-use times.
A customer’s maximum speed is based on the number of gigabytes of data transferred in the past seven days and the download speeds for the past 15 minutes. Speeds are recalculated every 15 minutes, at which point a throttled customer will be bumped up to a higher speed. Rather than implementing one speed for throttling, the calculations will move customers between 48 different speed brackets.
The worst offenders using peer-to-peer software on Clearwire’s network may face repeated throttling.

Sorry YOUR area sucks. 8-9Mbps here.
Of course Verizon's LTE is going to be fast, there probably isn't any traffic really going through it.
I'm sure it will go down some but those speeds are fast.

Yeah, .5 million people in the valley (Boise, Idaho), and 3G has been 30kbps for months. This past week, however, I've seen 600/600 on 3G in a few areas, but then it randomly drops to 1x, too.
I've gotten 7-8 down a few times here but it's usually around 6. That being said, I can get 7 down on one server and .5 down on another not thirty seconds later. It all depends on the server and how many connections are between you and it. Closer is not always better either.
edit: That is pretty damn impressive though, Sprints definitely needs to widen the bandwidth or do something. I would love pings like that too...
