Significant data speed increase over the last week

I have had a significant better data connection over 3G in the last week. From .6mb to a steady 1.6mb the last few days.
Sprint finally widening bandwidth due to Dan Hesse announcement about sticking with unlimited data and the release of their top notch android phones around the corner?
I think so

I doubt they did anything, and if they did I would think its mere coincidence that the commercial is recent

Nowhere near complete but some areas could have added capacity, such as yours.

As much as I would like to believe that, I doubt it. My speeds vary that much every few days. Whenever I think somethings improved, day or two later I'll be right back at 500-600kbps.

I have also seen an increase in the last 7-10 days. From about 650-700 then to about 1000-1100 now.....

My location was tweaked and upgraded a little over a month ago now.

I've seen this, too, but just on about 1/3 of the places/towers I'm at, and then it varies between 400 and 1.4 down/300 - 600 up. I think they are updating some of the towers, but they'll probably never update the one that I get connected to when I'm at home. ;(
Haven't seen any towers with new hardware on them either. ;(

After seeing this thread, I did some speedtests and looks like they fixed something here in Detroit too. Here's a screenshot of the tests I did this morning. Also, my slingplayer doesn't pause like it used to because data speed was so slow.

i am seeing better data rates as well. Providence, RI

I just checked mine and they are the same as always.... Very very low...
And it doesnt matter which rom I use, its the same across the board. Even the stock rom.
Edit: Those higher speeds were in the AM... Always good in the early morning but the rest of the day the speeds suck.

I got this while at a red light yesterday on 4G of course. But Sprint and Clear have the areas of focus wrong. They have been focusing on roads instead of housing developments and office buildings. It isn't like I can use 4G while driving.

i have never gotten over 850 kbps in the last two months... i want those speeds!

Speeds in Puerto Rico have been really slow since a couple of months ago. All my friends with Sprint have called Customer Service and they always say that they are making changes to the network and that this problem is temporary. But it have not changed! In fact its getting worse. Yesterday I was really close to a cell tower. I mean I could see the effin light on the top blinking. I could not even get roaming signal! I was not alone as my friend with an Evo and another one with a Samsung where not able to to connect either...
I am strongly considering changing to ATT... They have good Androids now and at least I would have a signal and would not have to pay 10 extra bucks...

I contact Sprint customer service and they told me that there is a temporary outage since 8/22/11 and technicians are working on it. I asked if I would get reimburse for the time without service and the CSR told that I would get reimburse once the service is back and running again.

Anyone seeing improved 3G speeds?

With the start of Sprint's "Network Vision" multi-modal cell site build out, I, like many others are hoping that means faster 3G speeds.
I understand coverage will improve, theoretically speed should too. It's still very early on in the new development, but has anyone seen faster speeds?

I haven't seen any improvement. I don't think many are. Check out the boards on sprint's website. Nothing but negative vibes.
Sent form EVO using taptalk!!!

Nope, still maxing out at 150kbps here.

After seeing this i figured i'd unplug my airave. Before i would only get 2bars @ about 200kbps. Now i have 5 bars and 1.4mbps. Set to sprint only with the latest radio files. This data increase is new

I would love to hit 1 mbps. I haven't seen any improvements but I've heard some people in bigger cities who have. It would make sense large populated areas would see roll-out first.

0.44Mbps download

Heres another ss that i took now. Speed still the same so must be fixed.

My speeds have actually gotten a LOT worse in the past two weeks. Went from getting 400 kbps-1500 kbps to 50 kbps today. ****ing ridiculous

Not seen any better speeds at all,but then again the ghetto has 4g before i do and i live in the inner city.

My speeds are definitely better went from 250 KB/s to 1053 its an improvement so I'm happy hope they keep it up.

My speeds in NC had been 1Mb/s and faster until late last week, now they are always less than 400Kb/s Down and 30Kb/s Up. Tonight it's much slower on the download side. Sprint really has to kick NV in to high gear or lose a lot of customers soon.

Yeah, Tempe sucks too for speed. Though I've found that I'm able to stream stuff as long as I can get 100kbits or so.

Me too but I'm in the middle of nowhere sharing a tower with about 20 houses in its range after 1am til about 5am I can get over 3mbps. We just had an infrastructure upgrade and a new tower in the last week cuz some dumbass truck driver fell asleep at the wheel and smashed thru the tower. Last night I had 2.2mbps upload and 4.1 down while tethering according to my network monitor
Edit: and I was on 3g cuz we don't have 4g yet, apparently they put the hardware in while replacing the tower but have not activated it for use yet. Although on a few occasions I have been able to connect to 4g in the last week probably while Sprint had it powered for "testing"

Atrix speeds comparison.

A buddy of mine has the iPhone 4s - not making a thread of android vs apple - but we're both on AT&T and he is getting speeds of 6mb. Ran the test 10 times on both our phones and I can't touch 3mb. We're both running speedtest and I've tried different apns and keep getting the same speeds. We're both in same city same area.
Any explanations. Is there an APN the iPhone is using or the radio on it that is giving it better speeds?
I used following APNS: AT&T HSPA+ , AT&T US HSDPA, AT&T US.

From SG, I got over 5Mbps always. (@ places where I can get 4G)

What radio are you using? If its not N_01.77.30P or N_01.77.36P, you should run an update since AT&T capped the data speeds on older Atrix radios.

Yea let me try flashing .36P radio. What radio are you using?
Edit: I am on N_01.77.30P
Maybe my phone is just sucking it today - or no back haul in my area? Still cant seem to understand how my buddy is getting those speeds though.

1.77.36P

No 4G in Singapore. The radio in the international version of the atrix is different.

Call me OCD .... but I've been FN with this dang phone for days straight flashing radios... trying different APN's .... and I cannot get speeds faster than 2mb down and 1 mb up. But my buddy is sitting here next to me with an iphone 4s getting a constant 6 mb down....
WTH am I doing wrong?

getting extremely slow dl speeds (about 10-100kbps) very high ping (in the 1000s)
terrible upload
never went over the data limit i have the 2gb plan and i barley use 400mb a month
checked the coverage map and its covered in dark green (excellent coverage)
have full signal bars. (not anymore:/)
called tmobile up and asked them whats the deal they said they will fill out a report for my area. that was about it.
flashed latest gingerbread radio still same crap speeds.
running zips creamed glacier 4.03 w/o any kernel tweaks
anyone else experiencing this shizzle?
forgot to mention my sisters sensation 4g is also getting terrible speeds too (about the same as mine) and other sisters iphone 4s
but only because its unlocked and on tmobiles edge

Switch to 2G only and run a speed test.

I got half a Mb down and up on "4g" with stock radio....

my speeds are still good but they are slower slightly. I wonder if Tmo is getting congested with the new monthly 4G plan
Sent from my HTC MyTouch 4G using XDA

There are a couple of things you can try for slow data speeds. A different radio/RIL pair may help, and you might also try the rcdata.img fix for TMO. First post in the Sensation radio/RIL thread has more info. I do not know if it is compatible with the MyTouch, we just figured it out for the Sensation. It is flashed through bootloader with a PG58IMG.zip file that contains a file named rcdata.img. There are two different versions, then you match a build.prop setting to it.

check it out

My speeds were around 4mbps when I first got '4G' but now I don't even get 1mbps. I think its stupid to be paying for something you dont get.
