I should select the server in NY since I live in nyc right? Well I get horrible ping on both 3g and 4g and it lags a lot while DL'ing and UL'ing, but I get (relatively) good speeds at the end.
On my hero, speedtest gave ~30 ms ping but on the epic its 100-200....why?

Bump?

That said ping varies by how many hops you have to do, it is possible that something changed on the servers end or on sprints end as well, or your tower is using a different bandwidth provider..overall 100ms is not that bad...Its what I usually get on my TP2 as well..and I'm also in NY...
Only thing you can prob do is update your PRL maybe?
Just scored 0.12 mbps on download and 0.10 on upload.
How can I improve this ? Make my phone faster

going to need more info about your phone...ex...version,rooted or non rooted,any kernel...like that...
just did mine and it was 2.53 dl and 1.08 up...with nero3 beta...
...and are you using Speedtest to measure 3G or your wifi or what?
I'm sitting in my house right now in a major metropolitan area and the 3G speed on my stock Vibrant is about 4.2 Mbps down and 1.8 Mbps up. When I turn on the phone's wifi connection to my Fios network, I get about 22-24 Mbps down and about 3-4 Mbps up. If I move around or go outside, these speeds will vary.

It appears as though you have exceeded the 5gb data limit. After this billing cycle is over, your connection will return to normal.
Ya that might b it. I'll run it again when billing cycle ends
Thanks

You should know. You would have gotten a text.
Jesus...
Or you can reboot and try again. You also might be in an area with a high amount of data traffic. For example when i'm at disneyland, I get full bars but my data speeds are crazy slow. It's probably the same when at a sporting event. 40k people and at least half of them with smart phones trying to access the internets will cause a slow down. But like the other guys said, we're going to need more information.
Ditto, sounds like your being throttled. Try it on wifi. Remember, download **** on wifi if you can. Don't go rom crazy on 3G.
Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.
Recently I was in phoenix and the 3g was full bars buy totally unreliable. I switched to edge and it was three times faster than hspa
You might want to switch to only gsm network and see if that helps

So if the phone can get those speeds over wifi would I get those speeds over 3g/4g if it were available?

No. The fastest you will see from this phone is a little over 5Mb's down (in near perfect conditions) and i'm not sure about upload but the fastest i've ever had was 1.8Mb up.
Even if it were available over the T-Mobile ? Why or why not...just trying to get a better understanding as to why over wifi and not over the network IF it were available

Agreed! The vibrant is not a HSPA+ device meaning it is not "4G"

kinda need more. did you have WAYY higher data speeds before? your problem could be 1 of 2 things...maybe both.
1)Bad coverage
2)data throttle
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=872570
check my thread about a temporary fix for throttling. its just easy as changing the APNs. i'm working on a permanent fix by creating a services.jar mod,but its not working out so well.
This is ungodly slow? 4 speed

How are you getting that high of internet speeds using your FIOS network? I have FIOS 30Mbps download and 15Mbps upload, and the highest download speed I've gotten on my Vibrant is 13Mbps. I am using a D-Link Wireless N Router (2.4 and 5ghz) which consistently gives my wireless computers 30Mbps, but not my cell phone.
I'm curious to hear what radio you're using and your current setup (router, router settings, service plan, phone settings, etc). If anyone else has any ideas, please let me know what you're doing to get above 13Mbps on Wifi.

Just did mine in New Port Richey, Florida.
5.73 Mbps Download
1.48 Mbps Upload
I believe our phones are capable of 7.2Mbps download on our Hsdpa network connection. Most of the new t-mobile phones that are coming out are capable of about double the download and upload speeds that we can actually achieve.

Any one know any way of forcing a phone to go on extended network? Anything I can change in the service menu or anything?
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Isn't that the same as roaming? And may I ask why?
Yes. And because I'm in the military and the tech school I'm at everyone is on the same tower so my 3g download speed is 12-16kb/s
The upload is like 1mbps. It sucks. when my phone goes into extended network I get almost 1mbps download.

We've had this question before and I don't think we ever found a way...
Why is my G2 getting 6 mbps on wifi while my mytouch 4G slide gets 19 mbps on the same wifi?
This seems weird because the G2 has hit 17+ mbps on other wifi anyone have any idea why its getting low speed compare to the slide?
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using xda premium
I have noticed my G2 not getting a full 12mbps from my wifi router that is 15 feet away it only gets like 8mbps or so, whereas the computer right next to the phone gets the full 12mbps - so I know just what you are referring to!
I have not yet figured out the cause myself

They were both next to the router tho the mytouch got 19mbps and the G2 got 6

Did your phones both connect to the same server when you performed the test? Perhaps that may have contributed to the difference in speed.

You misunderstood my post. Speedtest connects to a server usually hosted by a company somewhere nearby to perform the test, and the mobile app uses GPS to find the closest. Perhaps your phones connected to different servers for some reason. If you run a few more tests on both at different times of the day then you can rule it out.
I wanted to get an input on what speeds everybody is getting using Straight Talk. I know the speeds depend on coverage area and all but the speeds I am getting using the speedtest app seem a bit off. As you can see all my download speeds are the same they never vary only the upload speeds come up deIfferent this is what got me wondering if I am getting accurate speeds. Please note your speeds and where you are from. I am in NJ and about 14 miles from NYC.
My download speeds always come up as 0.01 Mbps and my upload are between 0.03 - 0.07 Mbps. Those are just some very odd numbers. I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the speedtest app. Hope someone can shed some light on this. And before anyone says anything, i know Straight Talk speeds are not as fast as regular ATT or even GoPhone for those that got it to work with the tab. I just want to compare Straight Talk speeds. Thanks.

OK it seems that the speed test app does not support the tab, I am stating this because I used my tab to test my 3g speed on their website and it worked (see picture) the one thing I noticed is that the Mac address of the tab to test the ping comes up as being in Kansas and not where I live, NJ. Just want to note that the highest download I got was close to 6 but upload only close to 1.

Try the FCC speed test app. That allows you to change locations in the settings.
