3G connection?

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!

Congestion is the number one cause of slow 3G. Is Marietta going HSPA+?
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'm in nyc and get about 4.5mb up and 1.3 down...

Nyc here getting bumped to edge speeds all the time. Really frustrating. Never had this issue with my G1.

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...

slow 3G in north county San Diego
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?

4G in hartford, ct?

So while bord at work I decided to turn my wimax radio on for the fun of it an to my surprise it connected to a network. Signal strength fluctuated between fair and poor, and speed test results weren't spectacular: 3 to 4 mbps down and 0.3 up. But yay 4g!

[Q] Sprint 4G in Boston finally. :)

Now that Boston has FINALLY Got Sprint 4G what is everyone take on its data speeds? I'm waiting for my EVO 4G and Epic 4G to come in. I ordered them last week and cant wait to see what the speeds are. I was shocked to find out that a friend of mine was able to get Vonage working using the Sprint 4G network.

I'm getting 9mbps consistently in Cambridge.

6mbps all the way down in Quincy

8.9 in norwood

Poor Internet in NJ. Sprint issue?

My internet is so bad that updating the prl/profile, restarting, and toggling airplane mode won't do any good. Anyone have this problem in mid NJ?

Been having the same problem all afternoon in south jersey and northern de.

Been having this problem everywhere I go. I haven't gotten above 150kbps on 3g since last November.

Same problem in Moorestown, NJ. Near Philly. 3G and 4G. Seems to better in the last 30 minutes or so...

Really bad in midtown this afternoon- no 4G connection at all for most of the afternoon, but seems to be working now (although a little slower than usual).

Old Bridge, NJ, and it's been sucking pretty hard for weeks. And I don't get 4G at all, anymore.

In bergen co. It sucks everywhere since dec. 152kbps. Monday i was able to get 542kbps at my house. They said the towers in my area will be fixed by the 29th of this month. Lets see
Sent from my hTc Evo!

Did they give any indication what the problem is?

I had some problems yesterday for the first time - it was about an hour where I couldnt get a signal and kept roaming (also force roaming with roam control app) but then back to normal here in Somerset /New Brunswick.

Yeah im also forcing roam here haha

Terrible speeds in Atlantic City but that has been the case for a while.

Is 4g ever gonna come to south Jersey?? Not the crappy 4g that hits the outskirts of Jersey from Philly, I mean true 4g in Jersey?? Been over a year and is truly a disgrace that Jersey has been passed over!! Bull#%&#!

Unhappy with 4G

Not even gonna discuss speed and bytes per second. I'm lucky if I stay connected rooted or not rooted. How can sprint be.proud about their 4G network if its not stable. Anyone have a steady 4G connection. I'm in NYC.

Also in the Bay Area, CA. Pretty stable. Constantly 9-10 mbps. Not trying to rub it in the author of this threads face, just saying it might be your area buddy. Hopefully that changes soon.

I live in the San Fernando valley CA and my 4g is greatcoat here inside and out

I have steady 4G, in suburbs of LA.

I have a tower outside my office, and if I'm outside, 4 bars. Once I go inside, the building....poof it is gone. Which is normal for the very high frequency WiMax is on, it just does not penetrate walls very well. Connection speed during the day is horrible, but goes up when normal people are still sleeping 4am, it might hit 5 mbps.

Depends on where you are. On my 3D i get a connection on the edge of my bed lmao. Whenever I travel to central west palm my 4G is kicking ass.
I Haz 3D!

I have decent coverage when traveling around Nashville TN but when I'm inside a building, or my house, I'm lucky to stay connected and have more than 1 or 2 "curved bars". penetration sucks with Wimax.

I have a steady 4g and I live in NYC as well, specifically Williamsburg. I get about 4 bars outside, one to two bars while inside.
When I lived at my parents house in the Bronx, I got full signal from inside their apartment and it was great.
Where do you live that you get bad coverage? I always considered NYC to have great coverage, but so never tried it in Queens. It may be worst there.

I'm in St. Louis, and I find it to be pretty thin. As others have mentioned, the frequency means that it just doesn't work well indoors. And it destroys my already terrible battery life. However, if I can get a signal, and if I'm near a charger, the speed is very nice.
Overall I'd say my WiMax experience is a C-.

HERE IS A FACT. this is A FACT! Sprints 4G network is a joke. They have no real workable 4G network. Having a tower here and there doesn't work! Sprint HAS NO PLANS IN ANY FORM OR WAY TO INCREASE THEIR WIMAX 4G NETWORK! They are coming out with LTE phones for a reason. because they are stupid and don't know how to run a company. Other companies LTE networks were LARGER than Sprints ON THEIR FIRST DAY TURNED ON!

My biggest annoyance with 4g is that sometimes it won't load a webpage. With 2-3 bars of 4g even. The progress bar will get about halfway, then stall out. It downloads files quick, but for some reason just has issues with webpages.

I had the same problem when i first got my Evo and I was pissed, when I called Sprint, we went through all kinds od procedural BS, but after a month of calls to Sprint and HTC, we came to the conclusion that it was a hardware issue and could not be repaired, so they gave me a new phone. Then I was getting 5 Mb per second. I advise you to let Sprint know and do not give up, they will replace your phone with whatever you want, make sure to let them know how pissed you are, it helps
