Really bad 3G speeds UK - Nexus S General

Ok well i have been ignoring this problem for a while but now i thought i would post and see if anyone can help me out here.
Basically i have a T Mobile UK sim running NS collab 1.0.20 (cm7)
Now when i run 3G more often thatn not im getting H speeds, from which i understand is good.
However, the MAX speeds i ever get for download is 0.35Mbps and 0.1Mbps upload.
From what i read in the forums, people seem to be getting at LEAST 1Mbps down???
Can anyone from UK with T mobile run speedtest and see what they get? I'm in the London area by the way
Thanks

I had your issue a few months back where the max I was getting was 120 downloads speed! I called up t-mobile one sunday morning and requested the technical team (based I'm Scotland). They noticed I had some mms setting on that was causing the issue. Same happened to my colleague who is on t-mobile and has the same phone. I get 2mb downloads and 1.5mb uploads
Hope that helps!

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

really? common? i must be in the 3rd world section of winston salem... i would say 3 or so mbps is more common. didnt mean to thank you, sorry.
Just about at the 3G cap on the second one... damn fast. I don't even get that in my HSPA+ area.

The deal is severe network congestion in that market, its common sense.

T-MOBILE HSPA+ Speed Test speeds on the Samsung Nexus s

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 took these speedtest in a city called Rancho Cucamonga, CA zip code 91739 its a suburb of LA, Cali

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.

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.

Slow 3g speeds, something is wrong, tried everything!

Hi everyone, I am in a bit of a quagmire. I have an evo, on boost which was working very well. For some reason, i started to get connection errors, and for a while I struggled with error 67 and 104's. Got past that. Problem is that my 3g speed and connectivity suck, and by that I mean 900+ pings and .11-.13 in speedtest, not to mention the disconnecting. Sounds like a PRL issue right? Updated that yesterday (manually through cdma workshop obviously since im on boost) and still nothing, same speeds. Is this a settings issue? Is there something I am doing wrong? I am on a stock sense with root.
I am seriously considering selling the phone at this point. My iphone never gave me this kind of grief on simple.

Well then that's probably his problem, as the Evo is not meant to run on boost. Hacking it to run on another network is bound to give you problems.
First of all it was working fine until recently. That 50 page thread was basically edit the host file to 0000 which did nothing. Anyone wsnna contribute and not send me on a wild goose chase? Cake will b given

Boost is on sprints network, so perhaps his experience is the shared experience some of us are getting

Yes but why? I have the newest prl update and I tried the host fix

No answers, but I'm having the same problem on the Sprint 3g network. Also getting 1000+ ms pings and download speeds have been less than 100 kbps since Friday. 4g seems to be working fine (when I can connect). Don't know if it is a coincidence, but change occured after PRL 01115 update.
Anyone?

You don't need to keep bumping your thread. If you read the post I gave, you would know this is a nationwide issue with sprint. Their towers are overloaded. I haven't gotten above 100kbps on sprint since November.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
And if you read what I said,i was fine until one week ago, and something changed. If sprint had this issue w every customer 24/7 they would be out if business. Again, reading the post helps. STOP digging in your heels. This is a software issue for most ppl, hence why I am here looking for an answer

And again, if you read the data speeds thread, you would see that this EXACT thing happens to many people. Some people will have normal data speeds for a few days, then dial-up speeds for a few days.
I'd say try updating your data profile if you were on sprint...but boost...no idea
I have updated my profile many times with no change. I agree that it may be something software (or EVO) related because I did simultaneous side-by-side speed tests on my son's Hero and my EVO, both on 3g with the same signal strength. The Hero was getting dowloand speeds 3-4 times faster than my EVO. I repeated many times with similar results.
Try that 1)phone>##3282#>edit mode (must now your MSL passcode)>data profile>push menu button>restore>commit mode....that's it. worked for me

Is there a way to backup before I do this? If I lose my boost settings I will not be able to restore them since i am not very good with cdma/qpst
Well In my case it's not changed anything but I got a normal data speed, and anyway you can't backup this settings. Your own risk

I had to use DEFY BASEBAND SWITCHER to get my 3G working.
Dont use it if you have 3G, but this must cause of your carrier. (I think)

i agree with jouse its probably your carrier, i did get an increase in speed but it was never that low, it was like between .8 and 1.5 mbps stock to atleast 2.5 mbps cm7 though I don't think its an issue of not having 3G cuz EDGE doesn't go that fast
It used to be much faster. its weird Going back to cm7 so i'll get the speed back anyway. Thanks guys.

I using 2 sim cards from Claro Dominicana, I pay around US$ 0.64 for 24 hours of internet. Very CHEAP!!
With one of the sim cards I use, I just get 256kbps, I dont know why its limited like that... the other one gets all 3G speed (up to 6 mbps at nights) , both of them are 3G and I dont why that happens.
Check if your carrier limits the usage of the 3G speed.

CM9 - T-Mobile UK - Speedtest

Hello all
just wondering if any of you guys use CM9/T-Mobile UK and also what kind of speeds you currently getting because mine are below 1mbps download and less than 0.5mbps upload :/
Truely shocking to say they are the first to bring out 4G!
Baseband Version : i9300BWLH1
Any help appreciated
Also if anyone on original T-mobile firmware can you advise of the default modem
Thank you
Thanks for the reply :/

I'm running stock and T-Mobile UK and I get about 3meg down and 1meg up on 3g and H+.
I don't think their 4g will speed up the 3g but you're right, yours should be faster depending on your connection.

EE who will be running the 4G network is the company who own both Orange and T-Mobile. the I-9300 isn't LTE compatible so it's not worth mentioning that, as for your low speed contact customer services and ask for the iPhone data speed cap remover to be added to your account, you'll need to speak to technical, I had it added to my Orange account and speeds went from 500kb to 7000kb.
Im the same. Running stock rom Tmobile uk hspda.
Was actually pretty surprised i was getting that amount. I only get 2mb max with o2 broadband in the house!

Yeah, Although do you know T-Mobile isnt 4G. The company will merge into EE with Orange but at the moment EE is the 4G network in the UK. The other networks will follow after the auction next year!
Hope this helps
