my service has been sporadic for me in the Philadelphia area
def sporadic here in jersey... upload higher then download and just jumpy...
I'm in chicago and currently downloading at 6.5gbps on 3g.
right ouside of philadelphia 300kb down on 3g and no 4g's down both upload speeds are fine though...
Yeah its been a problem since that last snow storm. So it should go back up

I finally got a speed testing app and it's fun to use and all...but, being the n00b that I am, I have no idea what I should be downloading at and uploading at. Can someone give me an example of decent speeds in kbps?

Well I am running an experimental super quantum kernel that allows me to download at those speeds. The mechanics behind it are top secret so I can't really say anything else.

Anyone live in Indianapolis or the surrounding areas? Since I switched to Sprint this month my 3G hasn't been faster than 600kpbs (on an extremely lucky day). It is more common to be between 100-300 kbps and I think that is a ripoff with an Everything Data Plan.
Anyone share my experience or have better numbers to provide?
Wish I knew out to check it, but dont know how. Im an android newbie. I can say this, every since switching to Sprint from both Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile, I have actually received better 3g signals and coverage at the workplace. If you show me how to check I will check.
I am receiving better 3g than before.
That seems about right to me... I actually am lucky to get that high on a speed test... Seems fairly fast when surfing or downloading from the market though. I agree that it seems a bit low.

I would kill for those speeds? Where are you at Dukins if you don't mind me asking? I live in Carmel and work over by the Pyramids so I'm mostly always on the North side.
I am lucky to ever be able to get 600kbps, I'm more likely to have 300kbps down or even 130ish. I have no clue why my 3g is so slow.
Edit: I just ran a test and got 95kbps downstream and 734kbps upstream.......
dukins: can you go to your dialer and type ##33284# then click 1X Engineering and tell me what number is listed for SID? It is most likely 4135

SID is the ID of the tower you are connecting to.
I work in Indy and have been trying to figure out what is going too. I was wondering if it was my custom ROM or because I updated my radio? Or if it was just the EVO itself.
The speed I'm getting is killing me right now! I know my speeds aren't as slow outside of Indy where I live.
Kind of annoyed that I'm paying extra and my download speeds are slower on my EVO than they were on my Hero.
Was wishing to have 4G....but hell I'd be happy with a decent 3G at this point!!!
I get crap speeds anywhere in Carmel/Westfield; bad Sprint towers in northern Indianapolis.
I talked to a Sprint Tech Support Rep who gave my phone a "network refresh". Sounded like bullsh*t, but afterwards I've been getting great speeds where I have a good signal. I've been getting up to 1.4mbps in downtown Carmel and in Broadripple.
Also she said we are getting 2 new towers on the north side of Indy, one off Hazel Dell Pkwy in August, and another in Westfield in December.
Well, I was a couple of miles from downtown this morning sitting at standstill in pouring rain and traffic. Did a speedtest and got around 1.5 MBPS down! I was happy with that.
However, when I was back at work...it was under 400k. Guess maybe it could be my office building?

I get similar speeds around my office (and nearby restaurants). I work up by the pyramids on the NW side of Indy.
I'm getting 1.4mbps down and 321kbps up on the north west side right now. I tested last night around the kessler/meridian area and got ~600kbps both ways.
What did you do for a network refresh?

Well I'm out in the flatlands of the East bay in Concord, and the closest 4G is the small downtown area of Nut Creek. Sprint, hook us up!!
This is frustrating as **** for those of us who have been waiting, and waiting for these assholes to get their **** together. Yeah, we know San Francisco has a crazy permit and building process - but this is ridiculous. What about San Mateo County? We're total 4G-less while Santa Clara County is almost all the way lit up.
Embarrassing.

I can confirm there is 4G in parts of Fremont. Been using it for a few weeks now.
I'm on 4g right now! Turk and Taylor.
I've left my radio on to search since I got the phone, and only one phantom hit until today.
It's dropped a couple times now, but it keeps coming back. Almost an hour of 4g at this location.
Edit...
Not that impressed with the speed tests so far, but the upload is crazy fast...for a cell phone.
.5 Mbps down, 1.1Mbps up.
Not much better than the 3g, really.
Screen shots taken...now, to get Dolphin to let me attach them...
Alright...screw dolphin. Screenshotsuploaded via Opera mobile.
Who needs a computer? (alright...i borrowed one to get root, but I'm without, and happy now...)
There is sprint 4g service in San Francisco NOW!

Very interesting.
I get my fastest 3G access around Grant and O'farrell. A bit over 2Mbits down.
Well...it seems to have gotten better. It's still access going about the same as the 3g... And tethering is SLOW. I'd say slower than with 3g, which is weird, but other people have reported the danger thing... I just looked.
So far, I'm not impressed. The icon looks cool, but I had better performance with 3g on average.
Maybe it's dialed down for testing before an official release?
My girlfriend said she got a 4G signal today in the FiDi, near 2nd and Mission. Think I might switch to a Sense ROM for a few days...

What part of Fremont have you been getting 4G? I've been getting a signal in Union City but only during the day strangely.
Is anyone else experiencing slow 3g speeds? Iam talking about speeds like 15-70kbps down. Ever since two weeks ago the data speed here in Wisconsin is so slow its retarded. Just wondering if this is happening elsewhere.
Yes I've tried different roms, kernnel, and phones. Pri,prl,radios are all up to dated also.

yes I tried. They hung up on me once and I got disconnected a few times after that. So I went in to the sprint store and ask, they said that their 4g is down and everyone on 4g is pushed over to the 3g network so that's why its slows. But it sounded like BS, cause Theres no 4g hete in Wisconsin

I been having 3G issues all day too here in Delaware, but strangely 4G has been working flawless for me
EVO on Tapatalk
I'm by the Michigan Ohio border, and I have had this problem for over 2 months now. At home and where I work, I'm less than a block from a tower at both locations, and used to get about 2000kbps down and 1500kbps up consistantly. About 2 months ago, it got horrible. On average, I get around 40kbps down and 10kpbs up. Sometimes it doesnt work at all. This happens anywhere I go. But, once in a while I would get normal speeds, usually only early in the morning, then the rest of the day/night it would be bad again.
After spending hours on the phone with sprint, refreshing the network, and doing 2 factory resets, they decided it was a hardware problem. I took the phone in, they agreed, and gave me a brand new evo. For a few days, it worked better, not as good as it was, but better at least. Then a few days later it got worse again.
I have since done 3 factory resets, had engineers from sprint come out, and they say everythings fine. Whats weird, the other day I was at a friends house, who only gets verizon signal at his house. While roaming on the verizon towers, I got normal speeds again, around 1800kbps down. So obviously there isnt a problem with the phone again, as the 3g seems to work fine there. I have been calling sprint every few days, and they have no clue whats going on, they say nobody else in the area has called in about this.
I'm giving this another month, and then I'm permanently leaving sprint. Data is the main thing I use my phone for, and I cant load webpages or stream pandora.
Sorry for the long rant haha but I thought I would let you know I'm having the same problem.
socal here
me and my gf's epic are having HORRIBLE 3g speeds..100-200 kbps...I used to have ~800..its been like that for around 2 weeks now...last saturday i went to la puente california and speeds out there were ok..~600kbps...but where i live and where I work..3g speeds are pure crap...
No problems here in Sacramento, getting 100-140KBps d/l, 100KBps u/l.
Ok for the past 7 days me been getting slow speeds like rev o my ups wont go over 150kb and down wont go higher then 1mps no more use to get like 2.4mps stable then i heard from sprint engeniers that there gonna realease ev do rev b and wimax wave 2 on new years or on jan 6 when dan heeae anccounce it and that y 3g been caps atm

Turned on 4G downtown Lansing today and its connected, getting about 500kBs down and 125kBs up.
Confirmed by the airport and down in Holt too.
I've been seeing WiMax towers for awhile and I check once a week, but its live in testing
Here are two screen shots, I changed the Speed test setting to kB/s from kpbs
I've reinstalled Sensorly Map Viewer and will begin collecting 4G data and hopefully get a good map on there.
First off, I hate you... Not really but damn. I guess we are just a bunch of broke asses in metro detroit. I hope you enjoy it, I know I would!
No connection in East Lansing, just off campus

Sprint is probably testing smaller populated areas first. Theres a lot of Sprint customers in Detroit so they need to ramp up for it. Sprints Feb. 9 "magic trick" better be nation wide 4G. They were the first to start advertising it and will be the last with nation wide coverage.

if I run speed tests in mbps rather than kB/s it makes a major difference. Note that kbps and Mpbs and kiloBITS and megaBITS while kB/s is kiloBYTES. Remember 8 bits in a byte
here are back to back bit speed test
wimax is definitely in testing and I expect to see everything jump up and more towers go live in the future.
Can anyone near Eastwood towne centre confirm if that tower is live?
Edit in: I just looked back at my pictures of the Tower at Eastwood Towne Centre and it DOES NOT have WiMax panels
If they're still in test mode there's no way Eastwood will have it in the crappy blizzard. I'm not going anywhere today, haha. Maybe tomorrow ill check.

Sprint is running currently all of the data traffic on a extremely small amount of servers. This means that everyone that is trying to use the internet on their cellphones on sprint is running on the same highway. So speeds are going to be really slow. What does this mean for us? Sprint is upgrading and testing new 4G towers and servers. This is an internal data BTW. Places like the top of LQ Cove have weak 4G signal and places like the Costco JackntheBox area have strong out door signal. North indio as well as the K-mart area in indio have weak 4G. So switch over to 4G in those areas and test it. Please comment bellow if you have found places with 4G signal in the Coachella Valley. What a coincidence that we are starting to get 4G since before Coachella fest.
