I've been the proud owner of a G2 for three days now and my download speeds have hovered around the exact same area that I was getting with my Vibrant. Yesterday I decided to swap my Vibrant SIM to the one packaged with the G2 and I'm pleased to say that I got my first real world experience of HSPA+ this morning; a result that is unachievable by the Vibrant. Without further ado...

**Note - While I am in love with that speed, there's still web issues that I have. Does anyone else's G2 randomly get stuck on uploading data for a while instead of downloading? During this time, I cannot send messages or download. I just have to sit and wait until it's done. Anyway, what are the speeds that you all are experiencing with your G2's?
Yes, sometimes my data stops working. A quick toggle between airplane mode seems to fix it.
So u swapped sims to the one that came with the g2 and instantly got faster speeds?
Maybe I need to try and swap. I just used the sim that I had in my G1

No, it wasn't instant. It was ironically a gradual process. (Or so it seemed...) It started off at the peak of what I was getting with my Vibrant around 6mbps and then kept moving up. I didn't swap the SIM for faster speeds but more to resolve missing phone calls without notifications. (That benefit alone was worth it!) I was under the impression that the swap wouldn't change much, if anything, but I think my argument has been shot out of the water. Go figure.

I have never been over 1.5mbps download on the nexus. I am in an unsaturated and smaller market it seems. (cant be for certain, charleston sc)
Is this speed normal? I thought I remembered seeing my friends droid on verizon get over 3 mbps. (although it was tethered to my computer)
sorry if this seems like a redundant question. I just want to know whether i should be worried given the radio issues with the tmobile version. I am reluctant to root it if I need to send it back.
If anyone can shed light on their experience with at&t 3g speeds that would be awesome.
cheers
gary
p.s. I used xtreme labs and speedtest.net apps. tonight i am getting .5 mbps. YUCK!
1.5 mbps seems to be OK, I dont know what they quote 3g at from AT&T (when I worked there they said it was 768kbps, but that was when 3g was first launched). In Tulsa I did 3.7 down, 1.3 up. Saturation and backhaul I imagine are the key factors.

Best I've gotten in Cincinnati is this:
speedtest.net/android/1860842.png
Kinda sad isn't it...? I usually float around .4-.5 down. This is even when I get kicked up to hsdpa. I hope Cincinnati gets gets better speeds this year.
Thats about what i get when im traveling through large cities on 3g but where i live there is no 3g only edge and im lucky if i get 40-50 kbps lol

T-Mobile is working to bring more backhaul and much better speeds to most of their 3G markets this year...you should definitely see an improvement soon.
I just did a test and best I got was 1363. That's on at&t in DFW.

I completely agree. Huge issue with the phone.
Wow, that's not good. I wonder how long Sprint will let that happen...I mean even AT&T throws minutes around in their commercials, maybe Sprint can throw some in the bag

I can confirm this issue. I've had the phone for four hours now and time just goes by. It's really quite frustrating. Sprint better get on this immediately.
I notice the uploads are no where near EVDO RevA. I'm getting about 130 or so now up and on my Hero I got in the 600 range.

I've noticed terrible speeds on speedtest apps, yet everything loads so much faster than the hero because of the processor. Don't even notice the crappy signal as its irrelevant. Wish I could test 4G... maybe next week.

Damn! My boss is going to be really upset with me over this issue. Seems I will be spending lots of time trying to find a fix for it

I got the phone this morning EST, and have not put the MF'r down. I saw this thread and was like wtf??? Funny stuff.
My girl just got a D2G at my suggestions (since she's on verizon and NEEDED a keyboard and didn't really like the Merge).
I have run her 3G speed test a few times outside and she can't even get to 1mbps? That doesn't seem right to me. I'm on t-mobile '4g' and getting a minimum of 3mbps (up to 6mpbs), and while that's at the low end of '4g' it's trouncing her speeds. I thought 3g speeds were better than that, and I expected her to get 3mpbs on the high end and 1.5mbps on the low end.
We live in Albany, the capital city of NY... and have 3g coverage from all major carriers.
Anybody getting better speeds?

Yes, she turned her phone into a vagina.
Here in the big city of Topeka,KS I usually get around 1.5 mbps with my D2. Just ran a speed test on the iphone I tote around for work and it was a blazing 0.55 mbps.
Here in Central NJ I usually just leave it on wireless, but I just checked 3G speed and got a disappointing 0.87Mbps.
I'll be turning wireless back on now. Ah.. much better!
Ive got speeds of 1.5mb to 3.5
In in the cap city better known as Albany too and get good speeds over what you recorded either......might be something to let vzw know or try switching towers, might help.

ALBANY!!!! Small world.... I live on Western by Mary Jane's book store.
Mm well so 3 years ago I went to Verizon from sprint cause a phone that I wanted and data speeds and service in Las Vegas (north) sucked for.Sprint back then And I went back to sprint because their.service got cheaper and I.wanted the.hero (evo Wasn't announce yet) so anyway my friend got a Droid x and his girlfriend a Droid Inc and I got an iPhone 4( I hated at&t and don't worry I'm not leaving android ) I been running some speed test in android Evo (sprint) and iPhone (Verizon ) and the speed in sprint looks faster by almost a 1 mb almost every test but I ran the speed test on the Inc and Droid x and speeds are practicly the same on those phones then the evo, do you guys know why iPhone speeds are slower? Maybe the app was make in a different way for iPhone (the data package is bigger? ) because speed test on the browser are almost the same on iPhone and evo
Weird?

Use an ad blocker your speed might slightly improve

adblockers make your internet slower, not once a connection is made, but while trying to make the connection. Every time your phone tries to access a website it has to parse that huge hosts file. Even on desktop PCs this will cause slow downs.
So I still don't know what's making the speed test slower in iPhone 4 but in wifi iPhone 4 has better speeds in the same wifi network, maybe the app wasn't make the same

I previously had an LG G3 and in areas where I would get 5-20mbps download and about 5mbps upload, I am not getting only 1mbps or less on 4G with the S7 Edge!
I am using the new sim card that came with the phone, and I've tried reseating it. Wifi is OK, can't say anything for 3G or lower as it always shows 4G for me. All calls, text, etc work OK. It's just any data access is extremely slow! Speed test below.

No issues here. Actually at home where I am only getting about 3 bars

I think it's just Verizon. Some areas I get very fast speeds of 50-80Mbps, other areas it's dog slow.
I've qnoticed my s7 edge is a bit slower than my s6 edge. But there's an update available now. I'd take it, but I'm @ 22%.
im getting this aswell, coming from my droid turbo i get much better data speeds on the turbo rather than the s7
I actually get significantly faster data speeds than my note 5
