Ok, so I've been getting pretty good speeds with my 4G before the OTA update, around 7-8ish Mbps. This is all taken from the same place, inside my house.
After the OTA, I tried some 4G, and I was SHOCKED!

Edit: Just to make sure I wasn't hallucinating and it wasn't a fluke, I ran several more tests, the lowest score being just over 9Mbps. I'm thinking that either Sprint just flipped the "real" 4G switch, or somehow I got unthrottled 4G.
you suck.. lol
my best has been like 4Mbps.
that is with the Rooted leak though...
Niice, what kind of latency are you seeing?
I am also getting very good speeds, around 6mbps consistently while I could only get about 4mbps before in the same spot.
I'm kindof wanting to update to the 2.2 final roo just for that. I'm currently on BakedSnack 1.0
...hmm..
Really the only thing keeping me on this ROM is the sexy theme.
I just installed the OTA 2.2 update and have noticed a huge increase in 4G speed also.
I used to cap out at 5.5Mbps averaging 4. Now I cap out at 10.5 averaging 6-8.
This is a completely stock non rooted EVO.

Well, I'm not gonna go THAT far, I needs mah root! haha. I'm totally going to update now though, my battery lasts a good amount with 4G on all day. and I want it to go faster!
My speeds increased too. In King of Prussia, PA I maxed out at 4 Mbps. Now I max out at 7Mbps. I'm so angry that the Lehigh Valley doesn't have WiMax yet. That's where I live
Same story here. My previous high would be in the 4 - 5 Mbps range. Last night I pulled down 8.3 Mbps. I've had the same positive results regardless of what kernel I've been running, so I would have to think this is a result of the new wimax radio.
Can you keep the speed during actual usage?
Can you keep the speed during actual usage?
I'm on 'leaked' now and speed is the same as on .47 (around 6) but say on usb tethered and skype my real transfer is super low (very low quality picture). It was perfect on 2.1.
So is it just short 'high peak' to look cool on test? Any thoughts?
Im using FreshEvo 3.1 and I also saw better speeds (previous peak was 3-4, now pulling 8-9). If I remember correctly from reading a previous post about speeds, the more activity the faster your connection should be. I'm gonna be optimistic and say they DID turn on the real 4g switch along with the new updated wimax.
My speeds have gone way up too.I'm running Fresh 3.0.3w/the stock kernel.I'm actually pretty impressed.I live in upstate NY and figured when I got the phone I probably wouldnt see any 4g coverage for a year or so
We should tip this thread to Engadget if we get more confirmation

Why does everyone say this??? I watched my net usage in System Panel while I was doing my test and it's near spot on. It doesn't take your peak speed, but averages it.
I'm not trying to insult anybody. If there's something I'm missing on why the speedtest.net app isn't worth it, please enlighten me.
I don't really get it either, I'm out of 4g coverage atm but just ran some 3g tests using speakeasy and the numbers are about the same as what I've been getting from speedtest.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I used the speakeasy link here, which got the highest numbers for me at about 10.5-11Mbps depending on which server I chose.
I also use the Speedtest.net app and now get 6000 where I used to get 3500 - 4400.
Also tested using Xtremelabs speedtest app, am getting 6.5-9Mpbs now where I used to get 3.5-4.5.

Take a look at what Gattling had to say about this:
T-Mobile Speed Throttling in the G2 Forums
Hmmm, it does seem a bit odd that TMO/anyone would throttle bandwidth via a file stored on the device itself - as opposed to back at the host. I can't vouch for the functionality of the contents of that dir (data/system/throttle) though.
It just seems silly to manage at the client level, as opposed to server-side. Provisioning of this nature is usually managed at an account-level at the host.
A few things I've encountered in my time w/ TMO...
- At the beginning of the year, I was only getting about 800 kbps down and 200 kbps up. I called TMO and eventually got escalated up to someone that seemed to know what they were talking about. In the Orlando area, he felt I should've already been getting better speeds than that (and hinted at the eventual roll-out of HSPA+). Ultimately, nothing came out of the troubleshooting and my speeds remained as they were.
- I was given a free CliqXT back in April and noticed the same speeds (800/200). I called in and the first thing they had me do was swap my SIM card (and use the new one vs. the one I had with my G1). Things started to change for me at this point and I started seeing 1 mbps/500 kbps speeds.
- As months went on, our speeds eventually got better and better. Before our new MyTouch 4G's, we were getting 3 mbps-5mbps, depending on the time of day. I'll go grab my Speedtest.net log from my old CliqXT so you can see the gradual incline throughout 2010.
I'm now getting a steady 8-10 mbps down and 600-700 kbps up...

Exactly what I thought. I also wondered why they would rely on the handset to handle provisioning, considering the inevitable hacking that would take place. Then again, I can't determine the purpose of the throttle file either. The values make absolutely no sense to me. I'm testing with the closest server to Dallas (Provo, UT). The best speeds i've seen on my MT4G have been around 4mbps, that was by DFW Airport where the signal seems to be about as strong as it's going to get in the DFW Metroplex. I don't know what I'd do if I started seeing speeds of 8-10mbps... This is using my new SIM that came with the MT4G too.
***Now the Texas servers are showing up, still same results though***
The area i live in does not have 4g but 3g. So i am getting speeds of 300 to 500 kbps download. On 3g i should be getting better speeds than this. Tech support said these speeds i preety good for 3g. My old att phone gets better speeds than this on edge.

Sounds like capped speeds. I'm not sure if it works on the atrix but on the inspire you can edit the build prop to get better speeds.

Not only am I disappointed, I'm confused at the inconsistency.
if its any help when I had my Iphone and the speed test app it had a little graph that shows your speeds as the test is running. I would always see my Iphone spike right from the start at a high speed then fall and work its way back up to a lower speed then the first spike. Maybe the same thing is happening here but the test is so fast on speak easy it doesn't give the phone a chance to drop off that first spike. Where with speed test the test it self is a lot longer so I think it would better reflect an accurate rating.

jealous.
Hsupa+ is not enabled on our phones yet so once that firmware update goes out those in the "4g" areas should see a speed increase. I know their map shows me as being in a 4g area and I am wondering what kind of speed increase I will be seeing.
is sacramento hspa+ already? I ask csr they dont know a damn thing and my phone is slow as hell. I want my iphone 4 back!!!
One thing to note is that the Speedtest app uses your location data to pick the closest server. Sometimes that location data is off or inaccurate and it picks some test server on the other side of the country.
Sometimes the speedtest.net app shows my phone at less than .50 down. Then wait a few minutes and then try some more it goes up. The highest I have seen is about 3.0 down. I am "supposed" to be in a live 4g area, but under "about phone/status" it always shows HSDPA.
I know that the Atrix will not be compatible with AT&T LTE. When comparing Verizon's LTE with ATT's HSPA+, Verizon blows it out of the water. While I know that HSPA+ will never be as fast as LTE, does anyone know if there are plans to improve the speed of HSPA+ on ATT? I think it's able to perform speeds of 14 mpbs but the reports I have seen actually put it at 2-4 mbps.
Thanks,
Matt

They could very easily increase our speed, but the real question is "will they?".
It might be they are going to keep HSPA+ where it is because the network won't handle the volume of traffic, or might be because they want people to jump on LTE when they start that, (enthusiasts buying new LTE phones so they can utilize the faster speeds). in reality, we don't know, but can hope!
AT&T is slowly improving backhaul from what I hear. This should increase it pretty significantly, as T-Mobile is making similar improvements and seeing speeds in the 5+ mbps range. The most I've seen is 4.7 Mbps on my Atrix (up from 1.5 on my old Aria), so I know that the phone is capable of pretty significant speeds. The HSPA+ 14.4 radio on the Atrix is likely to top out at around 7-10 mbps once all the network improvements have been finished.
Most of the towers are fast enough already but they get bogged down easily by many more people using it than it can handle, when they increase bandwidth you'll see improvements

Speedtest, pretty much the standard we all use:
Speedtest Mobile
If you use it, make sure to check settings and select the server closest to you. Speedtest can have a habit of picking a very distant server for you. Also, it sometimes pays to try different servers, as speed results will vary depending on the server and who runs it.

Just as a recommendation, if you get consistently varied results on the Speedtest app you can try different servers but also try http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/. It seems to give me far more consistent results, but I'm not sure about anyone else. The desktop page should load fine with that strong Flash support!
Yup, Speakeasy is another good one!

You must not like iPhones... Sprint's 3G speeds have been getting progressively worse over the past year and I'd say it probably due to free smartphone promos (e.g., free Evos through Radio Shack--I know three people that got them for free) than iPhones. Sprint knows about it and is doing something about it. I don't remember where I read the article (I just googled it and unfortunately couldn't find it) where it states that Sprint is improving their infrastructure. I flashed back to Froyo because I thought that might be the problem and my speeds did increase for a while and then dropped back. Just be patient.

Here's my "normal" speeds... I was getting faster speeds on dial-up back in 1995. This has happened in my area since last November. Before that, I could easily pull 2mbps all day and all night.
Everyone else with this problem, do your speeds increase late night/early morning? Between about 2am and 6am, I can pull about 1.3mbps, but during the day or any other time, I can NEVER get above 100kbps. Obviously this shows that the towers are just overloaded, and not broken, as Sprint keeps claiming.

Sorry to hear you are having 3G issues. My 3G shot up about a month ago from about 0.3m to more than 1.0m. I have never had anything below 0.1m unless I was roaming on Verizon. Now I'm pretty much above 1.0m with occasional slow downs, but still over 0.3m when slow.

Typical <1Mbs. Upload speeds are usually faster than download.
I have had crapy 3G speeds ever since I switched to the hero just after it came out. Before that with my touch pro I would get 1.5 Mbps easy all day and night.
The iPhone is not going to slow down the network anymore than any android phone.
Sprints data sucks!!!!!!
With the start of Sprint's "Network Vision" multi-modal cell site build out, I, like many others are hoping that means faster 3G speeds.
I understand coverage will improve, theoretically speed should too. It's still very early on in the new development, but has anyone seen faster speeds?
I haven't seen any improvement. I don't think many are. Check out the boards on sprint's website. Nothing but negative vibes.

I would love to hit 1 mbps. I haven't seen any improvements but I've heard some people in bigger cities who have. It would make sense large populated areas would see roll-out first.
Here's what I'm getting currently
0.44Mbps download
0.27Mbps upload
Heres another ss that i took now. Speed still the same so must be fixed.

My speeds have actually gotten a LOT worse in the past two weeks. Went from getting 400 kbps-1500 kbps to 50 kbps today. ****ing ridiculous
Not seen any better speeds at all,but then again the ghetto has 4g before i do and i live in the inner city.
My speeds are definitely better went from 250 KB/s to 1053 its an improvement so I'm happy hope they keep it up.

My speeds are still crappy. Depending on the time of day I get .02mbps to .21mbps download. I live in Scottsdale, Arizona. I have called Sprint numerous times and they state there is no issues here. I'm running a stock EVO, not even rooted. Anybody have any ideas.

My speeds in NC had been 1Mb/s and faster until late last week, now they are always less than 400Kb/s Down and 30Kb/s Up. Tonight it's much slower on the download side. Sprint really has to kick NV in to high gear or lose a lot of customers soon.

What part of NC are you at? I'm in Raleigh/Cary and they have been absolutely terrible lately.

Yeah, Tempe sucks too for speed. Though I've found that I'm able to stream stuff as long as I can get 100kbits or so.

Me too but I'm in the middle of nowhere sharing a tower with about 20 houses in its range after 1am til about 5am I can get over 3mbps. We just had an infrastructure upgrade and a new tower in the last week cuz some dumbass truck driver fell asleep at the wheel and smashed thru the tower. Last night I had 2.2mbps upload and 4.1 down while tethering according to my network monitor
Edit: and I was on 3g cuz we don't have 4g yet, apparently they put the hardware in while replacing the tower but have not activated it for use yet. Although on a few occasions I have been able to connect to 4g in the last week probably while Sprint had it powered for "testing"
Edit 2: I just checked and have been upgraded to PRL: 60683
