3g speeds

I seem to be getting .6mbs up and down no matter where I am, and even worse with my wireless tether for root users if running speed test on my laptop. Is this normal? I work for Verizon, and realize speed depends on coverage. But like I said, these are very consistent results. It just seems like these numbers are super low

Verizon throttles their phones... somewhere in here there was something about how to remove the throttle. Just search around for a bit, it is simple.

Most roms have the so-called "throttle" already patched out (I don't believe we know this is actually what Verizon uses). I'd be surprised if MIUI didn't also remove it.

It's the fascinate. It kinda suck with 3G compared with Motorola Droid. I have both and compared them in the same location. Motorola Droid performed better in all my test

I always get around 1.5 or so mbps. I'm running sc 2.6 with eb16 kernel. I live in mid missouri, not sure if any of it matters

Yea, I am having issue of low 3G speeds too. I am getting 120k down and 80k up. Which wasn't the case when I was on DH01 modem. By the way is anyone have odin DH rom? I have DI01 only.

Verizon throttles on the backend, so if you're being throttle, there is nothing you can do about it. Odds are, you are just in a high use area, are actually on 1x, or have a worse signal than you think.

There is no DH01. The only DH rom is DH12 and was what the phone shipped with.

.6 down and up is not bad. I just got 300-600 kbs in doors with 1 bar. Verizon's network is slow but stable, anyone know the Max download speed for cdma rev a? I think this throttle hack is useless if they are throttling their towers to a Max speed.
Just did a retest when I had 2 bars and I got. .9 mbs which isn't bad, rev a can only peak at 1.4 I found out.

Interesting. I'm on SC 2.6V, and I usually get ~2 down and ~1 up, and I only have 1 or 2 bars most of the time. I'll try a test in a sec.
EDIT: 2.03 down, 0.93 up.
I live in the far outskirts of orlando, where there's nothing but farmland as far as the eye can see.

The maximum download speed of EV-DO Rev. A is not 1.4Mbps, but 3.1. Verizon advertises average download speeds of 600Kbps to 1.4 Mbps, but some people commonly get more than that.

Huh, well that's good news. I'm not getting less than average results.

So what speeds are you guys getting?

Granted that this is the new Galaxy S 4G and there is not a place for us yet, just wanted to post this to see what others are getting.

buddy, that's entirely INCORRECT. Internet speeds have absolutely nothing to do with ClockSpeeds.

I didnt even know what the app was testing, saw people using it so I did a quick test n posted like a noob, but I would like to add that having your phone perform faster helps with downloads in many ways, my device never brought up internet pages as fast as it does now, market blinks on, n downloads go from 10% to 45% then 100% in seconds.

Depends on you define 'top dog'.
I feel it necessary to remind everyone that these same bandwidth speeds were seen with Wimax on Sprint with people's Evos as soon as it was released.
But we can't use facts and past knowledge in this forum.

I like Sprint....their 4G network is a crock. T-Mobile is faster most the time on 3G.
As much as I'm sold on Evo 3D....amazingly (to me) its balanced pretty evenly against this patchy unreliable network. (And I'd pay more in a heartbeat for the best combination of network and Device). Right now Sprint's been resting on their original 4G hype/bust...and there far back in the race.
Here's hoping they knew that ages ago and are ready for significant upgrades.

I feel it necessary to remind everyone that these same bandwidth speeds were seen with Wimax on Sprint with people's Evos as soon as it was released.
Ah never here in Chicago (think 10G was tops... and in buildings? Like where we live here for 6 months? ****...leave it off.
Colleague here with TBolt ...smack in middle of Merchandise Mart :always 5-10Mg.
Sprint's been stepping up there game no doubt...but have to address this....cause this crys gonna get loud. The strength of their upcoming devices will probably barely overshadow it for the Evo crowd tho.
Not here... so far anyway...

The title of this thread says it all!
Verizon's 3g is faster than Sprint 4g WiMax. Therefore;
Verizon's 4g LTE is much faster than Sprints 4g WiMax.
The Thunderbolt is dominating the Evo, I've seen a screenshot of a 1.8 ghz oc of the Thunderbolt scoring 3k on quadrant.
Yes, the Evo 3D is the best phone on the face of the Earth hardware-wise so far, but once Verizon gets enough people on they're LTE they're gonna be releasing they're own HTC Pyramid. Besides, personal experience, I'm not happy with my Sprint Service. At all.

Internation Note and AT&T: speed comparisions

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.

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.

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 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.

What was your maximum hspa+ speed?

Hello guys
I have a Samsung galaxy s3 I9300 for a couple of months now and can't seem to get more than 9mbits down and 3mbits up in hspa+ (H+) speed tests. I am beginning to think it is a modem limitation.
What about you?

Well, I had 6.7 down and 3.1 up; i guess it really depends on the career and the server u make the test. And also about how busy is the closest relay and how busy is it...there are many variables here.

Perhaps someone can shed some light on the radio in the I9300 and what it's capable of.

No speed difference but for downloads/4k ultra high definition video etc I would suspect.
Not sure if 'latency' is improved or not (doubt it) Like ADSL1 has a lower latency than ADSL2. I suspect it's in a similar situation, damn physics...
