Winston Salem HSPA - G2 and Desire Z General

look at these numbers!!! this is on t mobile by the way

I'm confused, are you excited about that or mad? I'm pretty sure speeds in that range are fairly common.

Nice I guess. I've gotten 8.2 mbps download and 1 mbps upload oncee before. I wish i took a screen shot. This was in Houston
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

really? common? i must be in the 3rd world section of winston salem... i would say 3 or so mbps is more common. didnt mean to thank you, sorry.

Just about at the 3G cap on the second one... damn fast. I don't even get that in my HSPA+ area.

The deal is severe network congestion in that market, its common sense.

500kb/s on 4G

Is any one else getting slow speeds over 4G?, this is with full bars by the way.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
lucky you, im getting .23Mbps on 4g and 500k on 3g but 3g seems to be down for me right now
Same here, I think it is PRI related.
I got 2300+ the other day but 4G is unofficial here, the city is actually testing it for there new emergency systems and the police department. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

I was getting consistent 7mbit speed tests on 4g with 1.34 PRI.

I've been consistantly getting 8-9mbps on 2-3 bars of 4G.
Where do you find the speeds at? Do I need to download an app for that?

Is there a way to update your pri without running a custom ROM or rooting?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I get at least 4.5mbps down and 1mbps up on 3 bars 4g. Upload seems to be definitely limited at 1mbps. 1 bar 4g usually gets me 1.5mbps down and 1mbps up. This is in the Baltimore region.

If you don't do these 2 things than you don't have an old PRI in the first place...

Oh and no, i didn't get any OTA. I'm running the latest version that everyone else has.
I get what you got before 10:12 pm . This puzzle me a little. I thought updating the software to use the new protocol stack (I think rev. 7) it'll be on the handset side, it looks like the network was capping it?!

EXactly, exactly what they did last year with the iphones. They capped it as well then all of a sudden bam tough actin tanaktin. They got 4-5 down and 2-3 up. No update at all. Plus I spoke to a tech yesterday that admitted that 4g phones were being capped. Bastids.

I think you're right, I'm in Australia with an AT&T Atrix 4G. I know my speeds should be higher than 300 but I can't get it due to the software. Is there a possibility that this guy was pushed an update that will soon be rolled out silently?

Improved 3G speeds in Florida!!

Recently i have noticed that sprints 3G speeds have dramatically improved.back then i would get 700-800kbps speeds now I'm getting 1-2MBps sppeds here in Miami.Also my 4G speeds have also improved and signal too.
UPDATE:I have NOT edited the 3G proxy everything is default

Lucky you. My 3G is still as fast as a frozen glacier.
Edit: Even you previous 700-800 kb speeds are 3 times faster than what I get.

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.
Sent from my evo while driving
Yea im also getting like 5-6mbps down on 4g before it was like 3-3.5
My 3G speeds in Orlando are kinda slow. Roaming or not, they are actually a little slower when roaming. So I just use 4G as often as I possibly can.

MY speeds in Jacksonville (Right along the line of ST Augustine) has increased GREATLY! My speeds went from 50-80 kpbs to 1800-220 kbps DL. And about 10 kbps upload, now 550 (on average). It's great! Beats Verizon's speed @ my house (tested w/ a friend's HTC Eris).

Oh, ok.....I must have misunderstood what you typed earlier.
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.

NS4G WiMax speeds

I just found a spot near my local Publix where I was getting 3 and 4 bars of signal with WiMax, which I rarely ever see in my city.
I speed tested and was consistently getting 16-18mbps down and around 3mbps up.
I'm curious to see how that compares with what everyone else is getting on Sprint's 4g network.

Sprint's 4g is pretty good here in Cincinnati. I get about 6-7mbs down and 1 up at my apartment with one bar, but when I go outside I get about 10-12mbs down and 2 up with 3-4 bars.
Here is a screenshot. I wasn't on wifi, I was in the middle of a parking lot.
I wasn't getting 3mbps up here, but I have before.

mine has definitely improved within about the last two weeks, as well! I'm getting about 15-20% stronger signal and speed
Not only that, even 3G improved in my area.

This is good to hear. Hopefully Sprint is staying good on their word and largely improving their 3G this year.
Especially looking forward to the Galaxy Nexus and LTE, even though I'm not in one of the cities getting it first.

Not necessarily, wimax upload speeds were capped. No official word that it's been removed though or made higher above 1.5. Any of you claiming higher have a screenshot?
