Can any Nexus One owners confirm that this is in fact true? I've heard mixed reports. PC Mag announced that T-Mobile rolled out the service Jan 5th, right before the Nexus One release http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/185916/tmobile_usa_finishes_upgrade_to_hspa_72.html
If you do have anything above 3.6M bps (the current ceiling) please state your speed and city. You can use the speedtest.net app from the market to verify.
I saw that too from a few different sources, I've tried on all 3 of my phones and haven't got over 1mbps yet, I saw people posting on the Nokia forums that they were getting 6mbps, I didn't see pictures to verify though. I'm in Folsom, CA with 3 bars and I'm getting 824kbps down and 205 kbps up right now on my Nexus.
I don't break 800kbits
Yeah my G1 is not getting it either, I thought maybe Nexus One would have it before they enable it for other phones...
People are confusing HSDPA with HSDPA+. HSDPA will get you up to around 700-800kbps. HSDPA+ will get you up to 3Mbps or so. T-Mobile just upgrade nationally from UMTS to HSDPA which goes from like 400 to 800 kbps, a decent improvement. Currently, only Philadelphia has HSDPA+ as the test market. Hopefully the rest of it will get it soon. All T-Mobile 3G smart phones have the hardware to do HSDPA and I think HSDPA+ as well, so you won't need a new phone when T-Mobile activates it on the towers.
1st run:down 380 up 294
2nd run:down 203 up 384

server in dc
Just did a series of 5 speed tests of a 1MB file via a local server from different points in my downtown Seattle office. Gots download speeds of 256, 700, 768, 1119, and 1330kbps. Tried the speedtest.net app with various endpoints and got 1694kbps as my best download and 434 as my best upload.
Will try again from a different location downtown later tonight.

Sweet deal then, perhaps T-Mobile is still slowly lighting it up one city at a time. Still only 600kbps here in Pittsburgh
kbps and kB/s are different. 1000kbps is 125kB/s, making it about 2/3 of your low end DSL connection.
Also, jimbo831, you're mistaken. T-Mobile has been on HSDPA/HSUPA since the rollout began, and everywhere in the nation had 3.6mbit potentially available. Realistically, no one got this. They just flipped the switch to 7.2mbit HSDPA (which is NOT HSPA+ that's in testing in Philadelphia, as that is 21mbit).
I'm seeing speeds of about 1.2mbit since the switch, compared to .5 before the switch in Atlanta, GA.

Well, I'm just using information that has been reported by TmoNews. And I don't think HSDPA is active everywhere then, or it is just slow as molasses here in Pittsburgh because my phone is still only running at 600kbps, which is only about 100kbps faster than I remember during my last speed test a few weeks ago.
Edit: I have verified otherwise. I checked the "Status" on my G1 and it only reads UMTS. So it looks like T-Mobile has been on UMTS, and still is here in Pittsburgh. I guess once I get HSDPA, my speeds will go up.
I just checked my phone is Oklahoma City and it showed HSDPA instead of UMTS under phone info. Cool!
Can someone tell me what's wrong with my testing results?
1st test: down - 450ish, up - 45...
2nd test: down - 550ish, and wtf.. up - 6 kbps -___-
These are all in kbps btw.

I noticed in certain areas of Philadelphia where I live that speeds can be about 1 mbit a certian towers and 3.5 at others. At the slower locations it says hsdpa too. On my nexus at the locations it said hsdpa but umts on my g1. When I can see the speed differennce it clearly shows that tmobile has not completely upgraded their network.

Does this mean that the G1 doesn't support HSDPA, that it shows UMTS regardless of which 3G you're on, or if it just happened to click off HSDPA for that moment? I thought for sure when the G1 came out they said it was an HSDPA compatible phone.
Does the boost only effect 3g or Edge aswell?
Unfortunately there's no 3g in my area
Although I find PC World a reliable source, I think they meant to say AT&T. Here are three separate sources confirming AT&T with their HSDPA 7.2 rollout. And by the looks of other's speed tests, it isn't true for T-mobile.

Not actually done yet
Some cities got the green light but tmobile never actually made a press release I guess.
To clear up some misunderstandings:
For data transmissions (All speeds theoretical);
GPRS = 2G
EDGE = 2.5G
UMTS = 3G
HSUPA = A UMTS protocol/specification with speeds up to 5.76Mbit/s
HSDPA = 3.5G UMTS protocol/specification supporting speeds of 1.8, 3.6, 7.2(T-Mobile's latest upgrade) and 14.0 Mbit/s.
HSPA+ = 4G UMTS protocol/specification currently defined up to 56Mbit/s with potential of higher bandwidth. T-Mobile plans to start rolling this out mid 2010 with 21Mbit/s speeds.
byte = 8bits
Bandwidth is usually measures in Mbit/s(Megabits) where as download speed is measured in KB/s(Kilobytes). Divide your Mbit/s by 8 and you will have your download speed. So if speedtest says d/l bandwidth is 800Kbit/s then a file download would be approximately 100KB/s.
Alright now lets keep this thread on topic please and post only if your bandwidth is above 3.6Mbit/s which is the current theoretical limit in T-Mobile's network.
I ran tests with speedtest.net but I don't know enough to understand the results. Can someone point me to a good reference on EDGE/3G/wireless speeds? Or, just tell me, what do you think of these numbers. Is this slow, fast, average or what?
I'm in SF and chose the SF server:
3G Down: 979
3G Up: 1323
Wireless Down: 4402 kbps
Wireless Up: 3175 kbps
My 3g speed is actually better than your wireless speeds. Your location and of course how much the 3g network is being used in your area by others will contribute to slower speeds. But that still does seem fairly slow for 3g, maybe high traffic bogging down the network at the time you tested? Have you run any other tests?
I haven't run any other tests. Can you recommend any other tests?
Also, just for context, I ran the test from inside an old apartment building in a dense neighborhood between 8p and 10p.
that's pretty terrible
I get about 3.7meg consistantly down, 600k up in bentonville arkansas
speeds are alot lower than what i see in seattle, but on par with what i saw in most of O and Ca on a recent road trip.
I meant another speed test using the speedtest.net app, that would probably be the one of the worst times to run a test probably when theres the highest traffic. Just be sure you have a good signal when you run tests.
I just ran two more tests with speedtest.net, 10p PT. This time I made sure I had a decent signal (didn't pay attention last time).
3G up: 2226
3G down: 597
3G up: 1.04 Mbps
3G down: 1.05 Mbps
Honestly, the speed/performance has never bugged me or caught my attention because it was slow. But, what I'm gathering here is that I'm getting some pretty ****ty speeds, comparatively.
In Chicago we are only getting 1mb down 600-850 up....pisses me off...if tmobile doesnt raise it I need to consider att or sprint galaxy s....store claims speed in Chicago way behind rest of network and will get much better...i dont know if I can trust tmobiles network...is 3 mb common on tmobile 3g hspa like I have seen a few people claim in nj

uh, thats fine for normal 3g i think. t-mobile new 3.5/4g network will show higher numbers, but i think those are pretty normal for 3g.
i just did a speedtest and got 948kbs down and 1320 up. im in so cal with normal 3g, not new network
Is it weird that my up speeds are always greater than my down speeds?

Yes, the new network is HSDPA+. The coverage map for HSPDA+ is here, http://t-mobile-coverage.t-mobile.com/?WT.z_unav=mst_global_cvg#.

Parts of Jacksonville, FL have been upgraded to the "faster" 3G network. Other parts are still on regular 3G or even edge.
I'm on fast 3G right now. Just got 5087 kbps down and 1599 kbps up. Regular 3G usually give me around 1000 down, 600 up.

download speedtest app and/or go to speedtest.net and give some more concrete numbers, also where are you and what kind of signal do you have, are you in HSPA+ area?
I am in a major metropolitan area inside HSPA+ footprint. (5bars and 3G logo)
haha going to speedtest.net, the site loads except for the main part of the page, the flash api and therefore I am unable to conduct the test. Maybe that will help you analyze how slow it's going.

This is not at all what should be happening. I have sometimes gotten very slow speeds like 0.2 Mb/s down, but a quick reboot has solved the issue. Try the suggestion of putting the SIM in another phone or duplicate this in the store. Might be the phone, because if it were the network, many, many people would have complained.
My G2 is the same way. I am in Arlington/Alexandria, VA which is supposed to have HSPA+. Even when my device status says "HSDPA" I am usually only getting about 500kbps down. The funny thing is I still often get 1mbps up!
Right now here is what my "4G Speeds" are getting me:

Down: 127kbps
Up: 330 kbps
Signal Strength: -85dBm
Network Type: HSDPA
APN Settings: default
I am running the updated stock 2.2 from TMO. I have gotten downlink speeds faster than 1mbps only a handful of times since I bought the phone in early October. What gives?
I just recently purchased my G2 a few days ago and it has speed issues as well. I live in Las Vegas which is supposed to have HSPA+ coverage, but my phone has been stuck on Edge since my purchase. My speeds have been horrible and TMo has no idea why.
Right now these are my speeds
Ping: 379 (Los Angeles,CA was the closest being only 75mi away)
Down: 35 kbps
Up: 26 kbps
Signal: -91dBm
Network type as of since I purchased the phone: EDGE (Been all around the city with same results)
Heading to the TMo store later tonight will update if it duplicates or not.

Thanks for the reply. That was one of the first things I have tried, but alas I am still stuck on Edge everywhere. Maybe I have a bunk phone or something is wrong with my account. I have actually been receiving a text consistently since 4am this morning. It's from 10076200000 the only thing it says is <sisa:39972758:1:1:199:14095402>10hbrZBycJABgDIpGQ1XGw. It may be an error code of some sort from the network. I could be wrong, but from what I have been reading TMo sends out a similar error code (From 10476000000) for an error in their email systems.
I am heading over to TMo in about an hour. We will see if they have any insight as to what is going on. I will post back the results of the visit if it will benefit this topic.

Yes, I am aware that HSDPA is not the same as HSPA+, however the Signal Type screen does not appear to distinguish between "HSDPA" and "HSPA+". Case in point, later that same day I tested my connection at Reagan National Airport only .5 miles from where I tested earlier in the day and here were my results:
Downlink speed: 5393 kbps
Uplink speed: 1282 kbps
Ping: 102 ms
Signal Type: HSDPA
I assume that at those speeds I was definitely pulling from an HSPA+ capable tower, but the signal type still reads HSDPA. So what gives?

Just read the thread and I'm sorry if I missed it if someone wrote this but could it be that your data plan hasn't changed from your previous phone?
Not sure how much that'll affect things but I know it made a phone of mine unusable until I corrected it.
My first G2 was stuck in edge 90% of the time. When I was on H it was very slow (less than 300kbps). Tmo CSR said it was defective and exchanged it. New one is good to go.

Should not be a data cap on speed, just bandwidth. 5Gb per billing cycle.
Edit: Lucky, I only get about 3Mbs on Wi-Fi and I am paying my cable company for 5Mbs. On cell the my worst is 190Kbs, but my best is only 761Kbs -and that only happened once. The other six times I tested over the last three months it was right at 200Kbs
^ What he said. Never heard of a speed cap. That would blow. I saw just about 6mbps yesterday in a good area so I know its not capped at 4.9.
The data cap however is 5GB/mo, and I am throttled to 0.06mbps on my regular tmo APN as a result of going over. Thankfully we have a workaround for the throttle using a different tmo APN.
Cap or hardware limitation? The highest I've personally seen on mine is 6.02 down. I'm pretty sure the hardware limitation is about 7

The Samsung Vibrant has a maximum network speed of 7.2Mbps. Which is the equivalent of like 800-900 kb/s actual download speed. I live in Tacoma, Washington and my speedtest is usually around 6 or so Mbps. So even without the "4G" it's still damn fast. Considering most home internet connections are around 2.7-4.2 Mbps.

How do you figure?
The only thing I can figure is that you are confusing Kilo Bits per second with Kilo Bytes per second and failing to use the correct labels to differentiate between them. A Byte is 8 Bits so 7.2Kbs is 900KBs, however you stated Mbs which still puts you off by 1000bps. That is a full Meg per second off and 5 X more than I get over the air just in your error margin.
14Mb per sec on wifi...
I have 20Mb service at home and the fastest that my vibrant will download at is 14.4Mb
On 3G the fastest i've hit was a little over 5Mb. It's funny that my 3G phone is almost as fast as Verizon's 4G which they're showing as 7Mb. Verizon's 3G on my DroidX has never hit speeds over 1Mb. Sad. My 3G phone is as fast as Sprints 4G. Lol.

Nah I think he's right. 7.2 Mb's = .09MB (almost 1MB per second) 1Mb = 1/8MB so he was right when he said 900KB although he put kb (lowercase)
For instance at home on my 20Mb connection I can only really download at 2.5MB's per second.
**edit** looks like VZW's LTE should be able to hit 42Mb's but no phone out right now will come anywhere near those speeds.
I love how this has turned into a nerdier version of the "their/there/they're" argument.
That being said, technically the k should be lower case, not uppercase.

Could we please stop talking about what speeds you guys are getting? I am in the Boise Idaho market and I get 3Mbps out of the 5Mbps advertised. Oh, and I pay $60 a month for it. You are all making me depressed.

really? cableone i'm guessing? that sucks. i get solid 10Mbps down from them for like $55-60/month including modem rental.
best i've got on tmob network is about 4.5Mbps down (no hspa+ here, yet). looking through my history i've got 11.5/5.8 down/up at boise state on wifi, 9.55/1.05 at home, but i think i've got better at boise state before.

Caldwell, yes Cable One. Are you one of their fiber customers? That is not available out here yet. The only other time I have seen Cable one offer 10Mb was to business customers, and that is a totally different subsidiarity of Cable One.
Edit: I just checked their packages and it looks like they have changed them. Still, if they can't provide my full rate now I would just be paying more for the same connection. I am in an old bundle.

yeah, it's just updated and doesn't cost much more, same modem and everything i just called and upgraded. then i wasn't getting much for improved speeds so i called them and evidently the line to my house somehow got mangled so they replaced it (free). i'd call them and ***** if you aren't getting your speeds because i almost always get full 10 down regardless of peak hours.
but sadly qwest is cheaper and faster, but where i live (sw boise) qwest doesn't even offer service so cableone is my only non-dialup/non-clear option. but cableone hasn't been too bad, for internet at least, tv and customer service is a whole other issue. lol.
ive pulled 6mb down when i tether it to my ps3 to play online.
Okay I have the MT3G HTC,when I do it on isp internet, I ONLY get 50 kBps which is 400 kbps and it was 187 kBps upload speed, which is 1500 kbps. I hooked it up to wifi, and it said it was getting 4000 kbps which is good because thats what it really is, upload was accurate too.
So why the hell does it say my internet is suppose to be at 3000kbps when its only 400... wtf?
I tried switching servers from speedtest.net app and best I could get was 175kB/sdown and 61 kB/s down... is that good?
Not really following what your saying. Are you saying that you get the slower speeds over towers and the fast over Wifi? Because that would be normal. What kind of data coverage do you have in your area (i.e. GPRS (G), Edge (E), 3G, HSPA+ (H))?
I am 3g I don't know what hspa is
