I was looking for a thread to see what kind of speeds people are getting on 3g, 4g, and wifi. I could not find one for the epic (also I wanted to see with ec05). I will downlod speedtest tomorrow so please post your speeds. Thanks
At home, 3G usually pulls about 1800-2000 kbps Download and 760 average upload.
On WiFi, I get between 6,000 kbps to 15,000 kbps (depending on server.)
On 4G, I mostly get 1200 mbps (yes, very slow), but in certain areas, I can get up to 8000 kbps and upload is maxed out @ 1000 kbps on 4G.
EDIT: When I get my phone, I'll grab you some screenshots.
I am near Chicago.
I took an average of a few readings.
3G
2.18 DL 1.02 UL
4g
6.88 DL 1.13 UL
WIFI
18.38 DL 3.83 UL
I am just wondering if these speeds are good for the new modem. I feel like they are slower then they where before, but maybe others are having better overall numbers with this modem.
Top few are 4g, all the ones under 1mbps are 3g. 3g is absolutely terrible in my area

Lol that's like my home internet speed, where are you located that you are getting such insane speeds on 4G? I get sketchy 4G here in Northern NJ.
I live in Yakima, WA and on 3G I get 500-750kbps down and 250-500 kbps up, depending on signal strength. On 4G I get anywhere from 2 mbps to 6 mbps down and 500 kbps up, again depending on signal strength. On Wifi I get what my home internet is, 18 mbps down and 2 mbps up.
3g: 630 down, 420 up
4g: not available in my area
Phone Wifi: 8.69 down, 1.77 up
Laptop Wifi: 27.76 down, 1.68 up
3g: down 496 up 252
4g: down 1394 up 52
Location: la
Anyone know why my speeds are so slow?

I'm in Anaheim Hills, and connect to the LA server as well. If I'm up in Brea on 4G, it's up in the 8-9mbps range. I think I'm on the outer area of the tower's reach. Voice still works, which is all I care about when I'm at home.
I had been getting 3g speeds anywhere from 1200 down and 400 up but the last few days I gave gone down to 200 down and 100 up on average using speedtest. In Memphis tn. Using slingplayer however it s streams great so I am thinking speed test is screwy. If I can stream video at hd quality it can't be that low

I posted on the second post that I'd update w/ screenies. Here it goes.
First screenie is on 3G @ my house.
Second screenie is my Comcast ISP via WiFi.
I don't have 4G at my house, so I cannot test it there.

Did you get stock EC05 first from OTA? I get 500 upload now that I did. Odin'ing the EC05 modem is apparently not the same. I was only getting 100 up before.
Do you BONSAI?
WOW. my phone is crazy slow.
i usually get 200 download on 3g and 500 download on 4g. i'm in silicon valley. my 4g can hit 8k, but my 4g connection stability is poor.
maybe i need a modem and rom reflash?

Nope, I've got MidNIGHT rom v5.2 and it's by far the most stable. You can try to reflash the ROM, but I think it's just that 4G signal in your area is poor.
I use WIFI when I'm at home and 3g at work (no 4g in my area). I'm usually averaging 400 to 600 (on a great day) of download speed. I've only used 4G once and that was while I was in Oakland for a baseball game and that topped out at 3.00.

This is inside my house. Which I can't even send a text with where I am right now. I have to use roam control in my house. Go outside and on the west side, get about the same speeds. Walk out to the street,maybe 30 yards(very rural/suburb/country area) 3g goes way up. I can start grabbing 4g but not reliable. But also just standing without moving my phone will constantly go up and down from full service to no bars.
A week or so ago I was at a friends apartment. He has the Evo. We both tested the 4g and he was over 10m while I was around 7m. And my 4g would drop as I was using the web, but his held it strong.
I've just given up on 4g. Most the time I want it I probably have wifi, and the other times the 3g is fast enough to load whatever while I'm still waiting for the 4g to get out of bed.
If I remember I'll try to grab some more tomorrow.
edit: fwiw I am running srf w/genocide kernel 200-1120 w/no uv'ing
With Airave 3G I get 1500 up and 650 down. I OTA'd the EC05. It was a LOT slower when I Odin'd the EC05 modem.

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?

Ah, thanks for the reference. What's the "new network?" Is that the HSDPA+?
I get similar speeds on so. cal. as well.
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#.

But, earlier when I was in the San Francisco bay area I was getting 1.6kbps down and .8 kbsp up.
I'm in the Suburbs of Seattle and I'm getting nearly 6mb/s download speed all the time.
I'm curious to see how fast the 4g networks across the country are.
There is a good Speedtest.net app in the marketplace that's free to use for this.
Please post your results along with your location so we can compare.
Speedtest results: 8461kbps down, 1080kbps up

I wasn't expecting that high of download speeds! I had 2/3 bars of 4g.
edit: Just tested wifi tethering with these speeds, and i got 1.14mbps down, .96mbps up w/ 96ms ping.
This wasn't my fastest but it's apparently the only one I got a screenshot of. I was in Atlanta last weekend.
Also some of those tests were 3G to show my friends. The top one I know for sure is 4G.

The upload is obviously capped for 4G as well.
Yeah, I got max of 7.4 down today (same capped upload). I was in the car with my girlfriend driving up US1 between Oakland Park and Commercial in Ft. Lauderdale. So weird that the only place that has 4G there (goes a bit north of where I said) is just that small patch, maybe 2-3 towers max. I finally got a taste of 4G since I have none where I live and its very nice.

but we know 4g is capped to 1mb. thats a known issue and frankly not a big deal for me, my home dsl is like that as well. I'm in deerfield beach, maybe I'll drive down there this afternoon and test it out. supposedly according to 4g mapviewer there is 4g on 595 at the university drive exit. that is where I work but i tried it 3 days in a row and no 4g.
i just tried it on us1 on commercial blvd. some speeds in the 2mb and 3mb range and a number in the 5 and 6 mb range. highest I think was 6.4. I was disappointed I couldn't break 7, but still that was pretty good. 1meg upload cap as expected but thats sprint capping. I read they might uncap that eventually.

Yeah, I know of the 1mb upload cap... it can go much higher. I don't care too much. I don't like that the 3g speeds are capped. They are no where near what I get on my hero. It does everything faster, including loading pages on 3g so its not a biggie unless I want to download a file from dropbox.

In Houston I never get more than about 3.5 to 4 mbps download depending on where I'm at in the city. Clear/Sprint pegs uploads to around 1mbps so no one will get anything better than that.
The interesting thing I have noticed is that I can have fewer 4G bars and get faster download speeds than other times when I have more bars. This leads me to believe that experiencing slow downloads with a strong signal to indicate congestion on the Clear network tower? Anyone else notice similar behavior?

So according to AT&T's site map, San Diego should have 4G now. It wasn't on the map last month. Has anyone gotten 4g speeds yet with the Atrix?
last I was there for mother's day, i got about 4 Mb down and 1.2 Mb up.
I've gotten as high as 6.5 MB download and 1.25 upload when I downloaded the last update (1.83). I don't know if that's from the 1.83 update or 4G.
I'm some places it shows HSPA+ and I get 6-7 mbps down / 1.2 up, on average I get 3g/hspa speeds of 2-3 mbps down and fairly consistent 1.2 up
Yes. Don't expect too much from 4G in SD. I get 1.2 mbps up and between 2-4 mbps down, dependent on time of the day and location. It shows hspa in the settings but it toggles between umts and hspa quite often.

Are you sure that you're not being throttled for going over your data cap? Those speeds are super low. Like the other reply I regularly pull 8mbps down and 3mbps up.
Sounds like your over your cap. No other reason that should be happening unless you have no bars and are in a basement.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
No, that's not throttled speeds. I was throttled and consistently got around 0.07 Mbps down and up.
I can see these 8 Mbps down speeds being plausible if you live in a metropolitan area, but if you live out in the middle of nowhere like me, the best download speed I have gotten is around 3 Mbps, but typically around 1.3-1.5 Mbps.

I see my best speeds in the suburbs, with fewer users. My slower speeds happen in places like Seattle with tons of people on the network obviously. I believe just a generally slow area giving 1.5mbps ish, but there's something wrong when he's getting only 0.40mbps
I am now testing in the suburbs as I'm visiting home from college.
Also keep in mind signal also plays a large role. I was just downstairs where my signal was -103 dBm, and my download speed was about 1.8 Mbps. Just went upstairs, signal was about -89 dBm and download speed was about 4.0 Mbps (measured twice at each location). Interestingly, both were with UTMS connections.

That's not even OP... you're referring to the post above yours? He's aware of the lack of signal, which is why he's quoting it and saying that even at -103 he gets 1.8mbps.
