So i passed by the tmobile kiosk in a mall in Wilmington, De where we have hspa+ and i did a speed test next to the mytouch4g and my slide came out faster, lol! The 4g was 2.2 mbps down and .76 up and my slide was 2.7 mbps down and .79 up. I wish i could get a pic. Ya'll try it out if youre able to.

That's funny Wish you would have taken a pic.
I would venture to say though, that you (and the mytouch4G) were not inside a 4G area. Might get 3G where the phones were but since the hspa+ signal doesn't travel as far (keeps the data rates a bit more stable) the mall blocks out the 4G. It's all speculation though, maybe they will have a radio update pretty soon because the radio isn't locking on to the 4G signal very well.

Is anyone else getting horrible 3G connections? I'm in Marietta, Ga. Im getting on average .34 mbps down and .23 up. On wifi at home I'm getting around 14.31 down and 4.00 up.

Yeah I have pretty bad 3G coverage over here in NYC as well.
Mine seems to be pretty cool. It's just a cheap feeling phone with a not too strong antenna or something. I notice that when u are around a bad reception area... the phone doesn't hold up at all!

To the others the OP isn't talking about coverage if you didn't understand.
No, I meant my 3G is slow because of the coverage I am having as well, lol.

I am really on the fence on this at the moment. I do love the phone, but when I have my HD2 and my Vibrant in the same spot, holding them the same way, here in my office, the HD2 has a solid 4 bar 3G signal, whereas the Vibrant has 0 to 1 bar, switching between 3G and Edge back and forth.
I think I give it another few days, trying a few different locations, but was just wondering if anyone else experiences something like this, before I go through RMA'ing it and reinstalling everything, etc...

I am very disappointed with Tmobile's 3G speed. With Good signal strength, it averages 0.75 mbps down 0.7 mbps up. Will this get better when HSPA+ is available?
thats t-mobiles 4g is more widespread than sprints atm? i was told last night that it was.
All they did was beef up their 3G network and not use a "new technology", so yes, it is.
yeah they about the same, but some 4g speeds (even tho is not really 4g) from tmobile re faster then sprint wimax
I have a Dell Streak 7 with tmobile and yes its true...and its fast! I don't have Wimax in my area though for my EVO
I don't have 4G from Sprint, but I do get 3G.
I can't sign up for T-Mobile (or Verizon) where I am even if I wanted to.
sprints 4g is hardly no where, just in SOME major cities

They advertise as the nations largest "4G" network so probably. The confusing thing to me is that AT&T announced that their entire 3G network is now HSPA+, and they have a significantly larger 3G network than T-Mo so shouldn't they have the largest HSPA+/"4G" network? Of course with AT&T comes more users so speeds will be slower anyway (I get 3-5 Mb/s on a iPhone 4 in Brooklyn so you'd get that even with a HSPA+/"4G" phone like the Inspire).

Truth but now att and T-Mobile are hspa + and all devices are going to come like that, btw I just saw the latest report of the networks reliability (call , sms and data )and Verizon came up on top again, while T-Mobile is the worst ( I got a tmobile phone from my company) and att and sprint almost the same

Tonight I did some speed tests and I am getting 6.7mbps downloads and 1.7 mbps uploads. I repeated the test a few times and download speeds are consistently over 6 mbps. Uploads will go up to 1.8 mbps and than drop to .28 or so. Wierd as I don't think these are 4g speds I am getting. At list in the menu it said I was on hsps.

Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
HSPA is 3G (up to 7.2 Mbit/s)
HSPA+ is what AT&T called "4G" (actually, it is 3.75g, up to 42 Mbit/s)
Thanks for clarifying that. Now, is 4g working anywhere yet, or it hasn't been turned on?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
Anyone know why the speeds differ so much when connected to HSDPA and HSPA?
When my phone says connected to HSDPA, my downloads go from 1-3 and uploads are 0.20. But when connected to HSPA I get 3.1-7.2 down and 1.2-1.6 up. Pings are also lower with HSPA (130ms vs 250ms). And why do they switch so much? I could be in the same place with my phone getting good signal (-58db) and it would constantly switch connecting between HSDPA and HSPA.

I would still like to know if 4g is on or not.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
It will be done region by region, there may be a couple of areas that have backhaul in place...the at&t shows my whole tri-state region is 4G* and I have yet to get above 3.5 MB/s down in any speed test I've done.
The 6-7mb/s range is right for 4g. The theoretical cap for our phone is 14.4, but you will never see those speeds (same as someone with verizon lte will never see 48mb/s). The most you will see with the atrix is probably going to be about 9mb/s if no one else is using the network. That's a huge improvement from 3-4mb/s though, and should be plenty fast for anything you can do on a wireless phone at this point.
But isn't there any way for me to check and see if I am actually on 4g or not.

I have the latest PRL, but the "amazing roaming speeds" are because you are running off of Verizon towers when you're roaming.......it has nothing to do with Sprint.
Edit: Also, I don't want to force the phone to roam on Verizon in any way. Hopefully some of whatever you're getting comes my way sooner than later.

My max speeds when roaming hit 250 kbps, because when you roam, Verizon only shares their 2G (not 3G) speeds.

Yes indeed VZW 3g is nice. Sprint in Louisiana is horrible...20 kilobit to 50 kilobits for me. Data is useless unless I force roam.
My speeds in Tallahassee were great for about the first 4-6 months of owning the phone, now it's merely decent and there's been no improvement.

Yeah I know. Surprising that where I live Tmobile gets service, while ATT doesn't.
That's awesome! I'm with solavei and I can't wait u til T-Mobile let's the smaller companies use LTE. But I'm it complaining much. It's mid here in jersey and I'm about to pull 15Mbps down and 2 up on hspa+. But Lte wouldn't hurt. And for those that are getting better signal with Lte. I think I read an article stating that the coverage will be superior than that of hspa+ even though frequencies are the same. Idk the validity on that though.
