Ok if u look at the screen shot down below I recorded multiple test on T-Mobiles HSPA+ speeds with one test showing 36 mbps upload and also one saying 16 mbps. I'm confused because I thought the SNS could only handle speeds of 8 something mbps because it's not HSPA+ native like the Galaxy S4G with theoretical speeds of 21mbps. So anyone have any idea why these speeds are showing up? My nexus s is running Gingabread on T-Mobile USA also cyanogen mod 7 RC1 I believe with team whiskeys voodoo color and oc kernel. Here's the pics

I think the speedtest.net test actually seems to cache the data from a server. I had to keep selecting different cities to get accurate results.

Wait a sec. You're saying that the 86mbps is while tethering a Nexus S? Holy F***ng S***. Wow.
Hello 5G ;o
Any reason why that would happen?
Somethings wrong...the max speed you should get is around 7.2 down.

~Sent from my Nexus S with Swype~
If you are using a certain website speed test (I forget the site at the moment) then you get really high fake speeds.
The only accurate test is using the speed test app or fcc speed app.
Not sure why people keep begging for screen shots and yelling fake. It's obvious some sort of caching tampered with the results and they aren't real as HSPA+ on T-mobile is limited to 21mbps and the NS is only HSPA compatible with 7.2mbps...
It happens quite often with speed tests. Even on PCs.

look at these numbers!!! this is on t mobile by the way
I'm confused, are you excited about that or mad? I'm pretty sure speeds in that range are fairly common.
Nice I guess. I've gotten 8.2 mbps download and 1 mbps upload oncee before. I wish i took a screen shot. This was in Houston

Um. So I've used the speedtest apps for awhile and they are pretty garbage. I've found the best Speedtests to run are the same ones I use for my pc.
http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest
The flash on this site seems to run just fine on the evo. I ran a speedtest to Atlanta with the app and 4g on. I got 1.9 mbps. I ran the Speakeasy website and got 6.9 mbps.
Same when I run the Speedtests from my isp. Better through the browser.

You need to pick the right server in the app.
Midwest = Chicago server for me.
Thanks... ill give it a try
I did I get crap results in the ookla app. The popular one. The test I ran was Atlanta on both. Whether is the same server in Atlanta who knows. But my results with the website based Speedtests are more consistent with 4g's advertised speeds. Which makes me think Sprint has been getting a bad wrap for their 4g speeds.
I'm sure I'm not the only person to notice 4g in practice is much faster than the speedtest apps would seem to indicate.
Ps I am in Orlando.

I have to agree that the results from the speedtests application are certainly way off from the website. Ran mine on Atlanta as well as I am in Winter Park, FL with excellent WiMAX coverage. Results, with full 4G WiMAX:
Speedtest app: 2.5mb down, 0.90mb up
Speakeasy.net: 9.7mb down, 0.97mb up
I ran my test in altamonte springs .. hehe
I'm getting 4-10Mbps using speakeasy test via browser depending on location. Am using CM nightly 28. Something is wrong with the app based tests as I rarely see over 2Mbps.
so far then 3 people have seen the same pattern. Can other people try this and see what they get. I'd be really interested to track down the discrepancy between the web vs the app.
Speedtest 3.22/1.14
Speakeasy 8.27/1.13
Wow thats a massive difference
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
It all depends on the server that you choose in the app. I live in St. Louis, MO. If I choose the St. Louis server, I get around 2.4Mb/sec download. If I select the Wichita, KS server which is over 500 miles away, I get around 9Mb/sec.
I've still found speakeasy to be more acurate though.

For me Atlanta and Harold, KY are about the only servers that give decent speeds around Orlando. I've gotten +8Mbs from the Ky one before
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
I was not concerned with the speed so much as the difference between the Speedtests to the same location. Which is why I said Atlanta. I'm fairly certain that the Atlanta server the ookla app is using is the same Atlanta server Speakeasy is using.
My concern is that the ookla app on the EVO is not displaying accurate results. The 2 tests should have the same speed results.

Recently i have noticed that sprints 3G speeds have dramatically improved.back then i would get 700-800kbps speeds now I'm getting 1-2MBps sppeds here in Miami.Also my 4G speeds have also improved and signal too.

Chicago 3G speeds also took that same jump bout 4 months ago...
4G has also really improved just recently...not so much that's its faster, but signal remains much more consistantly.
Am much happier.
Lucky you. My 3G is still as fast as a frozen glacier.
Edit: Even you previous 700-800 kb speeds are 3 times faster than what I get.

I have the latest PRL, but the "amazing roaming speeds" are because you are running off of Verizon towers when you're roaming.......it has nothing to do with Sprint.
Edit: Also, I don't want to force the phone to roam on Verizon in any way. Hopefully some of whatever you're getting comes my way sooner than later.
Sent from my evo while driving
Yea im also getting like 5-6mbps down on 4g before it was like 3-3.5
My 3G speeds in Orlando are kinda slow. Roaming or not, they are actually a little slower when roaming. So I just use 4G as often as I possibly can.

MY speeds in Jacksonville (Right along the line of ST Augustine) has increased GREATLY! My speeds went from 50-80 kpbs to 1800-220 kbps DL. And about 10 kbps upload, now 550 (on average). It's great! Beats Verizon's speed @ my house (tested w/ a friend's HTC Eris).

Oh, ok.....I must have misunderstood what you typed earlier.
My max speeds when roaming hit 250 kbps, because when you roam, Verizon only shares their 2G (not 3G) speeds.

Yes indeed VZW 3g is nice. Sprint in Louisiana is horrible...20 kilobit to 50 kilobits for me. Data is useless unless I force roam.
My speeds in Tallahassee were great for about the first 4-6 months of owning the phone, now it's merely decent and there's been no improvement.
I just found a spot near my local Publix where I was getting 3 and 4 bars of signal with WiMax, which I rarely ever see in my city.
I speed tested and was consistently getting 16-18mbps down and around 3mbps up.
I'm curious to see how that compares with what everyone else is getting on Sprint's 4g network.

Sprint's 4g is pretty good here in Cincinnati. I get about 6-7mbs down and 1 up at my apartment with one bar, but when I go outside I get about 10-12mbs down and 2 up with 3-4 bars.
Here is a screenshot. I wasn't on wifi, I was in the middle of a parking lot.

This is good to hear. Hopefully Sprint is staying good on their word and largely improving their 3G this year.
Especially looking forward to the Galaxy Nexus and LTE, even though I'm not in one of the cities getting it first.

Not necessarily, wimax upload speeds were capped. No official word that it's been removed though or made higher above 1.5. Any of you claiming higher have a screenshot?
