[Q] T-Mobile HSPA+ Speeds? (Are these correct) - Vibrant General

So I decided to pit my Vibrant against my G1 in terms of network speed through tethering. To my amaze the vibrant not only boasts better netwrok speeds but some unbelievable numbers. What are your takes on the posted speeds below. I'm guessing there was some kind of error. I think my average however is about 6 Mbps, but these are just for speculation.
Test 1
Test 2
Test 3

I would say that those speeds exceed what the hardware - and the network - are capable of by an enormous degree?
Those look like WiFi speeds, my man.

Theoretically HSPA+ can reach 21mbps (correct me if I'm wrong)
This phone is not "+" enabled so those numbers look off to me.
Here in NYC the most I have seen was 5 up on 3g.

You should download a file, from say Microsoft or a paid download provider like Hotfile (if you have a premium account)

Or you can download a file from a content delivery network like Cachefly:
http://cachefly.cachefly.net/100mb.test
This will pretty much show the max speed you can get at the current time.
Multiply the speed you get in your download manager by 8, and you'll have the speed in terms of kilobits (or megabits).

5 up or down? I highly doubt up, which is always slower then down.
I've read that 7 is possible.

It might not work on the android browser. This is mainly useful if you're tethering, and have a real desktop browser to use

I am luckt if i get 1 MB...

Should not be a data cap on speed, just bandwidth. 5Gb per billing cycle.
Edit: Lucky, I only get about 3Mbs on Wi-Fi and I am paying my cable company for 5Mbs. On cell the my worst is 190Kbs, but my best is only 761Kbs -and that only happened once. The other six times I tested over the last three months it was right at 200Kbs
^ What he said. Never heard of a speed cap. That would blow. I saw just about 6mbps yesterday in a good area so I know its not capped at 4.9.
The data cap however is 5GB/mo, and I am throttled to 0.06mbps on my regular tmo APN as a result of going over. Thankfully we have a workaround for the throttle using a different tmo APN.
Cap or hardware limitation? The highest I've personally seen on mine is 6.02 down. I'm pretty sure the hardware limitation is about 7

The Samsung Vibrant has a maximum network speed of 7.2Mbps. Which is the equivalent of like 800-900 kb/s actual download speed. I live in Tacoma, Washington and my speedtest is usually around 6 or so Mbps. So even without the "4G" it's still damn fast. Considering most home internet connections are around 2.7-4.2 Mbps.

How do you figure?
The only thing I can figure is that you are confusing Kilo Bits per second with Kilo Bytes per second and failing to use the correct labels to differentiate between them. A Byte is 8 Bits so 7.2Kbs is 900KBs, however you stated Mbs which still puts you off by 1000bps. That is a full Meg per second off and 5 X more than I get over the air just in your error margin.
14Mb per sec on wifi...
I have 20Mb service at home and the fastest that my vibrant will download at is 14.4Mb
On 3G the fastest i've hit was a little over 5Mb. It's funny that my 3G phone is almost as fast as Verizon's 4G which they're showing as 7Mb. Verizon's 3G on my DroidX has never hit speeds over 1Mb. Sad. My 3G phone is as fast as Sprints 4G. Lol.

Nah I think he's right. 7.2 Mb's = .09MB (almost 1MB per second) 1Mb = 1/8MB so he was right when he said 900KB although he put kb (lowercase)
For instance at home on my 20Mb connection I can only really download at 2.5MB's per second.
**edit** looks like VZW's LTE should be able to hit 42Mb's but no phone out right now will come anywhere near those speeds.
I love how this has turned into a nerdier version of the "their/there/they're" argument.
That being said, technically the k should be lower case, not uppercase.

Where do you live in Tacoma where you actually get hspa+? I'm in University Place and I have to go up to Renton to get hspa+ service. Then again I've been out of town for about 2 weeks. I also don't know anyone with that ****ty of a home internet connection in a populated area. I hear you though, maybe in other places or bad carriers :shrug:
Basic internet from Comcast:
Download Speed: 23390 kbps (2923.8 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 2238 kbps (279.8 KB/sec transfer rate)

Upload Speed: 2262 kbps (282.8 KB/sec transfer rate)
I have 35/35 FiOS at home, I see 43/38 on my pc and 20/12 to my vibrant connected via wifi to a ubiquiti nanostation loco m 2.4 n 2x2 mimo. Those speeds are in megabits. I used speedtest.net on pc, and their app on my phone. Im in the philadelphia area and I choose the washington dc.test server. I also use pf altq(hfsc) on my firewall for QoS fwiw.

Caldwell, yes Cable One. Are you one of their fiber customers? That is not available out here yet. The only other time I have seen Cable one offer 10Mb was to business customers, and that is a totally different subsidiarity of Cable One.
Edit: I just checked their packages and it looks like they have changed them. Still, if they can't provide my full rate now I would just be paying more for the same connection. I am in an old bundle.

yeah, it's just updated and doesn't cost much more, same modem and everything i just called and upgraded. then i wasn't getting much for improved speeds so i called them and evidently the line to my house somehow got mangled so they replaced it (free). i'd call them and ***** if you aren't getting your speeds because i almost always get full 10 down regardless of peak hours.
but sadly qwest is cheaper and faster, but where i live (sw boise) qwest doesn't even offer service so cableone is my only non-dialup/non-clear option. but cableone hasn't been too bad, for internet at least, tv and customer service is a whole other issue. lol.
ive pulled 6mb down when i tether it to my ps3 to play online.

So what speeds are you guys getting?

Granted that this is the new Galaxy S 4G and there is not a place for us yet, just wanted to post this to see what others are getting.

buddy, that's entirely INCORRECT. Internet speeds have absolutely nothing to do with ClockSpeeds.
I didnt even know what the app was testing, saw people using it so I did a quick test n posted like a noob, but I would like to add that having your phone perform faster helps with downloads in many ways, my device never brought up internet pages as fast as it does now, market blinks on, n downloads go from 10% to 45% then 100% in seconds. I did alot more than OC the processor but it was the frosting on the cake

AT&T 4G lies

I just read on AT&T's website that they consider 6Mb/s to be their 4G.
This means that our 4G devices will never be any faster than the iPhone 4 which supports up to 7.2Mb/s.
When I bought my Atrix I was under the assumption that they would eventually make use of the HSPA+ that the phone supports.
If the iPhone 4 is a 3G device then so is the Atrix.
Dear AT&T,
Thanks for lying and using trickery to attract customers. You suck.
PS hurry up and at least enable HSUPA
For all those that don't know, when they enable HSUPA this will not speed up our download connection speed, only the upload. So don't expect much.

Link to where they say its 6? I thought it was 14 or so. Forgive me if I don't believe its only 6
Nvm. Just read it. Normal 3G is 7.2. Not HSPA+. HSPA+ has a maximum of 14mbps. 3g is 7.2

I was on the phone with AT&T Business today about other issues, and asked about the "4G".
The rep seemed very well informed, told me no towers in my area have dates assigned to them for upgrade to 4G yet, and that I still have some which are not even 3G capable. She also told me they are trying to get their "4G" to everyone by the end of the year, and the download speed is 20mbps. This was a lengthy conversation, much more involved than this short description, but it was very interesting to talk to a rep who actually new technical stuff.
Also read somewhere that enabling HSUPA will decrease latency which will also increase download speed. Not sure about that, though.

We'll get category 6 HSUPA. even says HSUPA will decrease latency. Which means we'll be seeing i4 or even higher speeds.

What the network is capable of delivering and the maximum speed the device supports are two different things. Both the Inspire and the Atrix have radios that can pull up to 14.4 Mbps if the network is able to provide it.

THe key word in that statement is "approximately" 6mpbs, it is just marketing. You will barely ever see the full speeds of "4g" due to the physics of networks.

Ha! Iphone 4? The 3gs is capable of 7.2. So all we got was a 3g phone with dual core that is locked down by att and moto. If I could pull 6 mbs on a regular I would be really happy with that. I avg about 700 kbps.

like sifon said... and i wouldn't even exactly call it a "marketing" term. It's just going the logical route. They say approximately 6Mbps.... because if they say something like "You will expect to see 10Mbps".... then imagine how many calls they're going to get from people complaining cause they're ONLY getting 6Mbps. And i don't even see why people are complaining about THAT! 6Mbps? on a PHONE?!? Just a few years ago, 5Mbps was the fastest broadband internet connection via cable in my area. 6Mbps is probably still faster than a lot of broadband connections here in the US (except for that one city that's going to be getting Google's gigabit fiber optic internet connection.... lucky f*ckers).
And yes... when they enable HSUPA, we will probably (see? if i said "will" here, me and anyone quoting me would probably get flamed like crazy if it didn't come to pass) see a lot lower latencies and higher download speeds than we currently are. As we all know, internet connections are a two way thing. If you can't get information TO the servers, you won't get it FROM them either.
I have 4g download speed in my neighborhood. (luck me! ) I pull 4 on average, and 5 rarely. 6 is a marketing speed. You will never see 6.

They're obviously .33 still. HSUPA isn't enabled on our phones yet. Not until we get that HSUPA update.
Also, can anyone confirm whether it's 14 Mbps, or 20/22? I keep seeing different numbers tossed around, and I can't be sure anymore.
my phone says H+ on it and 5 bars yet download speed says 500-600 kbps and upload is right around 100. on my wifi at home i have clearwire and i get 3 megs down 1 meg up and my phone says it gets the same 3md/1mu when its hooked up to wifi. do i neeg to go get a different sim card for my atrix? ATT told me i dont need one because the 4G network wont be out for another 6 months to a year (which is misinformation, we have it in seattle AFAIK). but even w/ 3G i should be pulling A LOT faster than that right?

i can pull that down and more with my atrix whats ur point ?
Think the point is that with a 4G phone, if you're in a 4G area, you WOULD be pulling a lot more.... but due to not having fast uploads, download speeds are crippled.
the problem here is that with AT&T's 'enhanced back-haul program' they are only planning on buying some additional bandwidth and speed (raising it to 6Mbps) for each tower's individual internet connection. So even if the tower is using HSPA+ to transmit data to our phones, it is only going to be as fast as the internet connection that the tower has.
Its like using a really nice Wireless router, and wireless card. While it is nice, it doesn't make your connection speed any faster than an older model of router and card that could already handle your internet connection.
I really hope I'm wrong, but anyone who tells you that your Atrix is going to have a 20Mbps mobile data connection from AT&T is just blowing smoke up your @$$.
Interesting facts:
128 HSPA+ network in 65 countries including:
95 HSPA+ networks offering peak rates of 21 Mbps
11 HSPA+ networks offering peak rates of 28 Mbps
22 HSPA+ networks offering peak rates of 42 Mbps
Here is something very interesting for the future:
Radio over Fiber (RoF) Communication System - supposedly has d/l rate of 20Gb/s and is equal to the speed of optic fiber. Could be available in 10 years to the public.

G1 on Simple Mobile 3G plan. Horrible speeds!

Does anyone else experience this or have any solutions I can try. I'm getting about 0.12 kbps on "3G" and only 2mb on wifi sitting right next to my router with Bright house Road Runner Turbo. My PC gets about 20mbps. So what gives? Is this just a low data speed phone or is something not right? Here are the specs:

also if you look for his ezgingerbread rom there is a file there you can flash in recovery to update gprs from 10 to 12 that helps some to get faster speeds.
also if you go into dialer and type

I never really saw speeds much above 120k. Might just be a phone / processor limitation.

G1 supports up to 7.2 mbps, so no its not a limitation there

Back when my G1 was new, it was much faster. It slowed (including bandwidth speeds) over time with each OTA it got. I imagine it is like a 486 PC which was super fast with Windows 3.1, then slower with 95, and even slower with 98. To prove this point, try flashing DREAMING.nbh and going back to Android 1.0 RC29 and see what the speed is. My wife still loves her G1, and with only a few apps on it, 1.6 crawls. My Nexus S has also slowed a lot since going from 2.3 to 4.0.x to 4.1.1.
The speedtest app was too unreliable for me. My Nexus S on 2.3 barely did 5 MB/s on wifi, while I got 15 MB/s in the browser using flash (same as my PC). I can confirm the 15 was correct from the bandwidth graphs on my router which has DD-WRT firmware.

What was your maximum hspa+ speed?

Hello guys
I have a Samsung galaxy s3 I9300 for a couple of months now and can't seem to get more than 9mbits down and 3mbits up in hspa+ (H+) speed tests. I am beginning to think it is a modem limitation.
What about you?
Cheers
Well, I had 6.7 down and 3.1 up; i guess it really depends on the career and the server u make the test. And also about how busy is the closest relay and how busy is it...there are many variables here.

Ive had up to 14mbs down and 4.5mbs up.

I know but what I want to know is if it's possible to get more than 10mbits or if it's just not possible.
@prking07
Thanks, that is good to know.
By the way, do you guys know if there is any real world noticeable difference between browsing at 10mbits in hspa+ and 50mbits LTE?
I also want to know that, so i can't hardly wait to get 4G in my country soon

With mine i get often 10mbits down and 2.5 up
I would love to get some more speed, but I'm uncertain if it's a limitation of the phone or a cap of the service provider.
Perhaps someone can shed some light on the radio in the I9300 and what it's capable of.

S3 i9300 is capable of 21.6 Mbps
But most people will never reach that speed as it depends on carrier/relay/...
i got 19.11mbs the other day!
average i get 14/15
lowest is around 2mbs

No speed difference but for downloads/4k ultra high definition video etc I would suspect.
Not sure if 'latency' is improved or not (doubt it) Like ADSL1 has a lower latency than ADSL2. I suspect it's in a similar situation, damn physics...

Really?! I thought 21mbits was merely theoretical and that no one was capable of getting more than15mbits or something like that.
It was with the i9300 international version?

yep, gti 9300 s3. my area has amazing hspa+ speeds but at that speed, you burn through data like a rocket.
mine is never more than 4Mb/s
I only get around 1.4mbps H+ download on Orange UK in my area. Absolutely rubbish. Maximum I have seen is about 2.5mpbs

Screenshot or it never happened...
On HSPA+ my top score was just over 10Mbps in London.... My mate is on Vodafone and never got even close to 10Mbps so I don't believe you..
Now I'm using Three on DC-HSPA+ (up to 42Mbps) and best so far was over 18Mbps.... (screenshot)
I've seen ppl getting up to 20Mbps on Three DC... but never as fast on normal HSPA+...

Now scoring 20Mbps+ most of time )))

On the 3 UK network, I normally get 6-7Mbs downloads and occassionally I get up to 13Mbs.

6.91 mbit/s down, 3 mbit/s up.
what would be the benefits of having download rate of 3mbps or higher on a mobile phone? other than to tether. if latency was low like LAN internet i would never subscribe to LAN type internet.
