anyone else not getting above 150KBPS uploads on 3g?

this is freaking rediculous, its not my phone as my wifes epic does the same thing. no matter what, not over 150kbps. downloads can be 600K 1.1 meg, and never over 150kbps when testing with speedtest on uploads.

This is simple: upload is not as fast as download
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

I've seen around 200kbps upload at highest on my epic.
Just did speedtest.net and it got 973kbps download and 146kbps upload.

3G performance has been terrible on the Epic. I have Epic, Evo and TP2 right next to each other. After three consecutive tests, the Epic's best score was 376 / 146, Evo = 1152 / 308, TP2 = 886 / 228. The Evo and TP2 scores were fairly consistant, the Epic was as low as 80 / 122 (yes 80kilobits). That said, while watching the tests run, it does seem as if there could be a cap on the Epic upload speed. Even if it bounced over 150, it would immediately crop back down.

thats what i'm saying, on the speedtest, I see my upload start at like 300-400 for a sec and then drops down. sprint says upload should be similar to download speed. clearly maybe its a sprint network issue? verizon doesn't have this issue.

On speedtest.net I just got 600 down and 143 up. Like others said, it would go a little higher than 150 on the up speed, but then bounce back down under 150.

lame, the speedtest app doesn't even have california as a testing spot.

Speedtest.net has a Los Angeles Server for both 3g and 4g. Also Sprint has 2 towers that should be going up soon in the los angeles area that will make speeds more consistant. I have been doing side-by-side tests with my old iphone 3gS and my new epic, and what i found was that in servers closer to the west coast sprint had far better up/down speeds however for servers farther east att had slightly better speeds also ATT had horrible ping.... sprint never had higher ping to any server than att . However this all goes out the window because in Downtown LA. im under a 4G umbrella and get 5.1 meg download and a 1.2 upload..... this is fater than what i can get at home using wifi.... suck that ATT!

yeah i'm getting around 600 down and about 150 up

I live in arkansas which isn't worth a poop for wireless networks compared to the bigger cities, but I get 1.61mbps down and .31mbps up

They are testing 4G in my area, so I have it here in Colorado. I get 3000 down and 1500 up on that.
On 3G I too am getting around 1000 down and around 175 up.
but it's more than enough for me.

sprint just called me back. had me run mobilespeedtest.com which of course doesn't have upload speeds. Guy was very nice so I'm gonna give him a break. Anyway, he confirmed that for my area, the upload speeds should be 350-500 and said the engineers will look at it and hopefully I'll hear back within 72hours.

i'm interested in seeing if this gets resolved.. Upstream bandwidth is not important to some, but for people like me it can make a huge difference.

i don't care if its not huge upload, but this is rediculous for the money we are paying.
my friends droid 2 did the same download side by side and the upload was like 50kbps less, while mine is like 350kbps less.

its been rumored that there was a 200kb "cap" on upload, download is just fine for myself but upload does have a part when i upload pics to fb or the like

well today I got like 172 on upload when doing 1100 download. so I'd say 200kbps is probably it under perfect conditions.
my friends droid2 is looking very good at the moment. I don't really need the upload speed, but its just how many hardware deficiencies can you deal with? I'm very leary to believe that all the problems are software.

Just did a test with 3 G and 4 G here in Haverhill MA..
3G was 1.6Mbps DL and 150 kbps up
4G was 6.1 Mbps DL and 1.63 Mbps up

I do feel like something is capping upload on the Epic. I didnt have this issue on my EVO. Here are my 3G speeds (I'm inside a building though):

Just wanted to reply that 3G upload data is definitely capped. 150kbits upload max. 4G does just fine. But my friend has an Evo 4G, we tested right next to each other.
our downloads were the same, his upload was 800 while mine was 150.

Yeah I know the .net site has LA servers but the app inside the android market for speedtest does not have anything on the west coast for me to test my speeds.

3g speed test- post your 3g speed

Wanting to get some feedback on everyones data speeds I'm using speednet app from market. I get an average of 300kbs down and 220kbs up. Vzw says 600-800 avg for a 3g network so they want to replace my phone?? Friends at work are getting same so I don't agree with phone exchange. Please share I would like to see how other areas fare. I'm in down state Il for reference.

Alright well it seems that my 3g is slower than most. Tested more phones outside of work and in my area seems it is network related since different phones are doing same speeds some rooted others not. at home speed is better and close to 5-6kbs? Still slow considering my wifi at home nets me an average 7mbps sometimes later at night I can see 9 strong mbps. I'm guessing a phone swap is the only support they know how to give?

I have gotten 2.2 mbps down on the EC01 modem before. Had the best results with that, although I would like to run more tests on ED01.

Try taking off the factory battery cover and see if your signal improves. My signal was like yours until I removed the stock cover. I pull 18mb down 4mb up on my wifi now, where before 7mb was the best it could do on a 25mb broadband connection right next to my router lol. I bought a new case and the signal is great...tried umpteen times now switching back and forth from the factory cover...the signal drops from -78db to -100db everytime. One guy said it didnt work on his fascinate, but maybe certain versions of the phone have the antenna mounted differently,, not really sure. my SF is v.11 running rooted stock 2.2.1 froyo.

EC01 radio, Evil Fascinate, and 1.3 OTB kernel would give me an average of 1.2-2.4 MBPS. The only time I get anything lower is at my girlfriends house(average around .7-.8 down). Anywhere else in Pittsburgh is 1.2 MBPS or better.

Seem to average 1900 kbps down 700 up. This is from various times of day in my apartment. And I had similar results with EC01 (sc 2.9.2). Denver, CO area.
Beautifully working (so far) CommRom 1.3/ED01

Nice, I usually get 3-4 average during the day, but this was at 2:34, and I love the speed. <3 (Running KB5 modem for Vibrant)

Here's my blazing fast 3G speeds from midtown NYC. Tested twice from an nyc server and one in NJ. I used kB/s for one and Mbps so people can compare, point, and laugh. These are my best speeds from about 5 attempts. this is why I usually have WiFi turned on when it's available.. I can hear the 56K Dial-Up modem sounds when I connect to web pages.

How do you guys handle such slow speeds on 3G? I get 3-5 mbps on T-Mobile with around 60-80 ping and it's a little slow haha. But Verizon has much more 3G coverage....

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.

Just did this test, also using 3g turbocharger script

Well its either sprint or just more iPhone suckage cause my bro in law got sprint iPhone and speed tests side by side I'd get .24mbps and he'd get .02 averages. Kinda funny and kinda sad at same time. But guess its a wide spread thing per sprint community page.

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!!!!!!

Anyone seeing improved 3G speeds?

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.

Nope, still maxing out at 150kbps here.

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"

That's still pretty quick. Speed varies on the time of day. If too many people are using the network, it'll get clogged and users will see their speeds lowered. If you're far from the cell tower/antenna your speed will be lower. Having a new sim card simply doesn't affect network speeds.

I had t-mobile's prepaid before I switched to a contract last year. And speeds are the same whether or not it's on a contract or not. So yeah, like I said perhaps their network is filled with people using it so you will see lower speeds. Also, during peak hours lowers the speed you normally get as well. Orrrr T-Mobile is trolling you. Hmmmm....

I guess something is going on with their network, perhaps LTE preparation. Look what I get now

lol I am not complaining, I am trying to figure out whats the deal. I am sure the difference I have is not because of congestion. At my home speed differs only 1-3mbs during busy hours compare to lets say 2am. It has been steady 20-25mbs. I literally have been running speedtest every day during last month and a half to see if they gonna throttle me or if I use too much data and just testing out speeds

Heh... And you still complain? I'm in front of a TMO signal tower and it's been getting worse since 3 days ago.

The Testing application (*#*#4636#*#*) will show HSPAP, the phone status in the settings application should show HSPA+:15 or HSPAP:15. HSPAP is HSPA+. The status won't show HSPA+ 42, because the number indicates connection type and not speed.

I feel your pain as well.
That usually my average all the time with this damn phone even in parts of NYC!!
I just dont understand it.

Heh... And you still complain? I'm in front of a TMO signal tower and it's been getting worse since 3 days ago.

I've been getting blazing speeds lately. Even in places where my old verizon had no service. It's a given that i need to be outside to get 30+ mbps but i'm happy getting 15 mbps inside a bunch of concrete. The uploads have been pretty good as well.

Definitely slower for me. I used to get 20 down, 15 up, now I get 10 down .12 up on HSPA+. When I go into town and I get LTE though, I get around 30 down 12 up
