Oooooh i was wondering. So isn't HSPA+ even faster?
And doesn't HSUPA increase the upload as well as the download speed?

Oh and no, i didn't get any OTA. I'm running the latest version that everyone else has.
I get what you got before 10:12 pm . This puzzle me a little. I thought updating the software to use the new protocol stack (I think rev. 7) it'll be on the handset side, it looks like the network was capping it?!

EXactly, exactly what they did last year with the iphones. They capped it as well then all of a sudden bam tough actin tanaktin. They got 4-5 down and 2-3 up. No update at all. Plus I spoke to a tech yesterday that admitted that 4g phones were being capped. Bastids.

I think you're right, I'm in Australia with an AT&T Atrix 4G. I know my speeds should be higher than 300 but I can't get it due to the software. Is there a possibility that this guy was pushed an update that will soon be rolled out silently?

I get at least 4.5mbps down and 1mbps up on 3 bars 4g. Upload seems to be definitely limited at 1mbps. 1 bar 4g usually gets me 1.5mbps down and 1mbps up. This is in the Baltimore region.

In suburban Houston, I'm not noticing any difference. Remember, updating your PRL only helps with roaming (Preferred Roaming List). Any differences you're seeing are probably a placebo effect. Unless you are roaming...
Off topic, I know they're turning on enhanced 3g in Atlanta, anyone know when/if Houston will? I know we're on the short list for LTE along with Atlanta, so my assumption is that we would also be for enhanced 3g.

Exactly this. If you roam a lot or have no signal a lot, and IF there was an updated tower from another carrier added to your roam list (PRL) you may roam and get signal. Otherwise it matters not. Digiblur usually has the list of additions to the list in his sig.

Could this have to do with Sprint activating the old iden nextel towers? Trying not to believe in the sugar pill effects too quickly but damn! At the house never peeked over 300k and the last three test have been 800k steady... hope it sticks anyway.

No because those towers would be considered Spint network towers and not Roaming towers. If they contracted to share more (or less) towers for roaming they change the list (PRL).

they must have improved a tower, or switched over an iden nextel tower to 3g cause I'm cooking now...just a coincidence about the prl. Pushing 800k to 1 meg all day now, could barely break 200k before. Now I don't have to rely on my wifi to browse! Anyway thanks all for the clarification.

Not exactly accurate. Whenever they make any changes regarding towers is when they release prl updates. They are not building new towers 6x a year. This prl update has a significant impact on the 1x issue I don't see it anymore
I must agree with some of the others. I too am experiencing faster data with this prl update. Before the update I had .5 meg. Now I get between 1.3 and 1.5 meg. I'm very pleased with this update. My location is in central Alabama.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA
It isn't a list of towers
I am on cm7 with 11115, best prl for roaming btw, and can't pull the prl since I am travelling and need my phone. As soon as someone posts it I will do the diff.
I suspect the only real changes is the removal of Pioneer in OK from the native signal list.
