HSPA+ = 7.2
5 mbps < 7.2 mbps (HSPA+)
.. you do the rest
Best I've gotten is 4.1, which is still faster than Sprint ever was.

its theoretical 21. the Mytouch4g and G2 carry HSPA+ but at a maximum possible of 14.4
This is a good illustration, you hear a lot of people complaining about the lack of HSPA+ support in the NS, but until I hear of people consistenly getting 7.2 on their devices, then will their complaints be warranted. I got 4.2 in Sherman Oaks.

No. I didn't mean to say that HSPA+ is capped at 7.2mbps, I was just saying that 5 mbps < 7.2... which the Nexus S and other non-HSPA+ devices' cap is at 7.2.
But yeah devices that supports HSPA+ (marketed as 4G) its 21mbps (theoretically)

support for HSPA+ is more of a future-proof feature and currently its not that important, but people that buy Nexus S usually keep it for a while and future-proofing is important especially that 4G phones are already available for cheaper price.

Oh hai, tethering
I do think that "4G" is just a marketing term really, and speed is relative. On our phones, a browser on 2Mbps will load just as fast as 5Mbps. As will Youtube and anything else that we do. Speed only makes a difference to those who tether IMO.

Well, just to be clear, kbps and kb/s are the same thing (as is kbit/s), at least according to my understanding and Wikipedia's entry on the subject. All three are obviously different than mb/s, and of course our phones are usually measured in Kb/s and Mb/s, which is different than the small k/m measurement.
Clear as mud for many, right?

So I'm wondering what everyone's getting as far as 3G and 4G speeds.
I'm trying to debate from friends on another forum about Sprints Data Speeds being better than AT&T's and well, me only having 2 bars and no 3G at my house makes it a hard sell.
My speeds when I got a lil 3G were:
Down: 692
Up: 592
I get anywhere from 1.0 MB/sec to 1.5 MB/sec with 3G down. My up speeds are always horrible.
My up speed normally passes my down. How weird is that?

1.2Mbps Up
Mounds View, MN (10-15 miles north of Minneapolis)
3G: 2.01Mbps down / 0.64Mbps up
I get 15mb/s download on my wifi
and about 1.3mb/sec on 3G

Buffalo Grove, IL
3G: 674Mbps down / 647Mbps up

I run this test everywhere I go, and generally I get about 350-800Mbps down and 450-1000Mbps up on 3G, while 4G is more erratic and can go anywhere from 300 to 3500Mbps down and 600-1000 Mbps up.

Usually it is because you went somewhere else and your phone hasn't locked on to you since you got back. For example, I'll travel to Dallas (I'm in Houston) and I'll update weatherbug to the Dallas area but if I go back to Houston and don't update my location via weatherbug or something it will show me 30 miles from the Dallas server.

Not true.
The current network limitation is 14.4 IIRC but if the network goes 21/24 or whatever it is... the G2 will go right along with it. Hence the HSPA+ moniker they are touting ever so much.

Nope. HSPA+ supports up to 21Mbps at present, but the chip in the G2 does a max of 14.4Mbps, as T-Mobile has stated since months before the launch (even before the G2 was announced they said it would be limited to 14.4). I suppose it is conceivable that a firmware upgrade would lift that limit, but I would not hold your breath.

Check under "special features." HSDPA 14.4 is supported. Nothing higher.
And I'm pretty sure that it's a hardware limitation of the chipset, so I don't think any type of firmware upgrade could increase that limit. I'm not 100% sure, though.
I hardly see the need for anything higher than 14.4 Mbps on a mobile phone anyway.

Well, on a technicality, T-Mobile doesn't have 4G (but then neither does anyone). However, yes, it is surprising that its only 7.2mbps down and 5.76 up, which doesn't seem like a big change from the Nexus One.
What's frustrating is that they might release this for T-Mobile now, and a few months later, they'll release an AT&T version, just like the N1. If its a Googlephone, why can't they make it pentaband 3G?!
On a side note, would have been nice if it had a LTE radio. Heck, even CDMA capability too.

I just read on AT&T's website that they consider 6Mb/s to be their 4G.
This means that our 4G devices will never be any faster than the iPhone 4 which supports up to 7.2Mb/s.
When I bought my Atrix I was under the assumption that they would eventually make use of the HSPA+ that the phone supports.
If the iPhone 4 is a 3G device then so is the Atrix.
Dear AT&T,
Thanks for lying and using trickery to attract customers. You suck.
PS hurry up and at least enable HSUPA
For all those that don't know, when they enable HSUPA this will not speed up our download connection speed, only the upload. So don't expect much.

I was on the phone with AT&T Business today about other issues, and asked about the "4G".
The rep seemed very well informed, told me no towers in my area have dates assigned to them for upgrade to 4G yet, and that I still have some which are not even 3G capable. She also told me they are trying to get their "4G" to everyone by the end of the year, and the download speed is 20mbps. This was a lengthy conversation, much more involved than this short description, but it was very interesting to talk to a rep who actually new technical stuff.
Also read somewhere that enabling HSUPA will decrease latency which will also increase download speed. Not sure about that, though.

What the network is capable of delivering and the maximum speed the device supports are two different things. Both the Inspire and the Atrix have radios that can pull up to 14.4 Mbps if the network is able to provide it.

THe key word in that statement is "approximately" 6mpbs, it is just marketing. You will barely ever see the full speeds of "4g" due to the physics of networks.

Ha! Iphone 4? The 3gs is capable of 7.2. So all we got was a 3g phone with dual core that is locked down by att and moto. If I could pull 6 mbs on a regular I would be really happy with that. I avg about 700 kbps.

like sifon said... and i wouldn't even exactly call it a "marketing" term. It's just going the logical route. They say approximately 6Mbps.... because if they say something like "You will expect to see 10Mbps".... then imagine how many calls they're going to get from people complaining cause they're ONLY getting 6Mbps. And i don't even see why people are complaining about THAT! 6Mbps? on a PHONE?!? Just a few years ago, 5Mbps was the fastest broadband internet connection via cable in my area. 6Mbps is probably still faster than a lot of broadband connections here in the US (except for that one city that's going to be getting Google's gigabit fiber optic internet connection.... lucky f*ckers).
And yes... when they enable HSUPA, we will probably (see? if i said "will" here, me and anyone quoting me would probably get flamed like crazy if it didn't come to pass) see a lot lower latencies and higher download speeds than we currently are. As we all know, internet connections are a two way thing. If you can't get information TO the servers, you won't get it FROM them either.
I have 4g download speed in my neighborhood. (luck me! ) I pull 4 on average, and 5 rarely. 6 is a marketing speed. You will never see 6.

They're obviously .33 still. HSUPA isn't enabled on our phones yet. Not until we get that HSUPA update.
Also, can anyone confirm whether it's 14 Mbps, or 20/22? I keep seeing different numbers tossed around, and I can't be sure anymore.
my phone says H+ on it and 5 bars yet download speed says 500-600 kbps and upload is right around 100. on my wifi at home i have clearwire and i get 3 megs down 1 meg up and my phone says it gets the same 3md/1mu when its hooked up to wifi. do i neeg to go get a different sim card for my atrix? ATT told me i dont need one because the 4G network wont be out for another 6 months to a year (which is misinformation, we have it in seattle AFAIK). but even w/ 3G i should be pulling A LOT faster than that right?
i can pull 5.5 with a captivate

i can pull that down and more with my atrix whats ur point ?
Think the point is that with a 4G phone, if you're in a 4G area, you WOULD be pulling a lot more.... but due to not having fast uploads, download speeds are crippled.
the problem here is that with AT&T's 'enhanced back-haul program' they are only planning on buying some additional bandwidth and speed (raising it to 6Mbps) for each tower's individual internet connection. So even if the tower is using HSPA+ to transmit data to our phones, it is only going to be as fast as the internet connection that the tower has.
Its like using a really nice Wireless router, and wireless card. While it is nice, it doesn't make your connection speed any faster than an older model of router and card that could already handle your internet connection.
I really hope I'm wrong, but anyone who tells you that your Atrix is going to have a 20Mbps mobile data connection from AT&T is just blowing smoke up your @$$.
Interesting facts:
128 HSPA+ network in 65 countries including:
95 HSPA+ networks offering peak rates of 21 Mbps
11 HSPA+ networks offering peak rates of 28 Mbps
22 HSPA+ networks offering peak rates of 42 Mbps
Here is something very interesting for the future:
Radio over Fiber (RoF) Communication System - supposedly has d/l rate of 20Gb/s and is equal to the speed of optic fiber. Could be available in 10 years to the public.
I'm looking at buying a galaxy note, but the international Galaxy Note is really the one I want. Unfortunately, I need data speeds. Not the 40mbps of LTE, but I need more than my 1.4/0.9 mpbs that I get now on my Samsung Captivate. What speeds do you guys get on your notes? What did you get on your non-HSPA+ devices? Was there much of an improvement? I tether, and the added speed would be handy, if it exists.

I think this GNote is HSPA+. My results from Speedtest in Atlanta, GA...(see below/attached).
I wondered the same before so scoured around a bunch and saw that ATT speeds can vary between 1mpbs - 7mpbs down, and .5-1.5mbps up depending on various factors.
It really depends on where you are. Most importantly, how many other AT&T customers share the same tower as you. Typically, in a big crowded metropolitan area, speeds are lower. My HSPA+ speed rarely exceeds 1mbps. Often in low 100kbps range.
That's why if you want speed, LTE is the only way to go. Even without counting on future proof, the fact that very few ppl are using the separate LTE network (no, it doesn't share the same network as HSPA+) at this time.

Thanks. Do you remember what it was from your non-HSPA+ device?

Yeah, I'm aware of that. That's why I want to know what you got before HSPA+ and after HSPA+.

That's unfortunate. I'm afraid I may be int he same boat. I don't feel I need LTE, but I need more than what my Captivate is giving me.
In DFW I usually get 6-8 mbps down and 1 up on my GNote.
On my skyrocket, which is LTE, I get 30-60 down and 10 to 15 up.

You should read this. Should answer all your speed questions quite definitively!
I typically get this sort of speed on H+
Something must happened with AT&T in South Orange County, California, I used to achieve max 1.3 - 2 mbps, right now I am consistent and getting 3.2 and sometimes in some places even higher, the highest so far that I achieved was in Huntington Beach Home Depot parking lot ;-) 5.7 mbps.
Best speeds I got at the end of my driveway, just north of Baltimore, MD was 8mbps down and 2.5mbps up. But my average is more like 4 down and 1.5 up. I'm using an ATT iPad Unlimited Micro-SIM card.
Never has speed issues with my Note on ATT. Here's a recent test.

That's good news for me as i was planning on switching from Tmobile to att soon. Edge with Tmobile is just not cutting it.

That's what I am getting now (1.3) so hopefully I'll end up with 3.2+ with the note. That would be enough I think.
I'm in Philly and my speeds suck no matter what. Location is the main thing to look at here.

Is your captivate stock?
Some of the custom roms will do wonders for your data speed
Ran a few speed tests side by side against a stock captivate and it was not even close specially in uploads
Im getting around 600 to 900 KB over UMTS,HSPA+ is still being implemented in my area as we speak

Nope, currently running the AOSP ICS rom.
