All,
I've read several instances and/or rumors of bandwidth capping with the 1.8.3 update. I even had the experience of losing my network data altogether until I figured out why.
As such I thought it may be helpful to start a thread for those on 1.8.3 that can provide: 1) radio version; 2) APN settings; and 3) download / upload speeds (on average). You can get the radio version via Settings >> About phone >> "Baseband version"; APN settings via Settings >> Wireless & networks >> Mobile networks >> Access point names; download / upload speeds via the speedtest.net application.
My information is as follows:
Baseband version: N_01.77.15P

The speedtest.net app has given me speeds all over the board. As high as 4.58Mpbs down and 1.58Mpbs up and others with just .2-.3Mbps up like before the update. Do I need to make some changes here?

Same and I never lose data and the speeds in Seattle are about 4.6 mbps DOWN and 1.x mbps UP.
I'm not sure I understand......but showing speeds isn't going to do much in the way of giving us a feel on what is going on. What I mean is download and upload speeds can vary by a very large standard, because it all depends on how many bars, what servers you're hitting, how many people are also using that node, etc.

Of course their different. You guys are looking at two different apn. The first person apn settings are from the regular att network setting. And the second person apn is from the att us hspda setting. And the speeds may be different because you need to have the 4g internet data plan on ur account in order in have the att us hspda apn.

I had no APN after SBFing, factory resetting, etc. so I had to make up an APN based on what I had seen in some places. I'll try the other APN in the thread and see if it makes a difference (better or worse).
Point of the thread really was to assess whether there was consistent limiting going on and if people suddenly lost data connectivity (as I did) they could fix via created one of these APNs.

Well... Technically an hspa plan shouldn't be needed, but since it's an At&t requirement, it absolutely is required. They can cap service capabilities anywhere they please, really.

I was surfing on my phone last night when all data just disappeared. I get full bars but no 3g/e. I tried restart, flight mode, reenabling data. Nothing fixed it.
Same problem here... as well as one or two other members that I know of. Try this and see if it gets you by for now... It worked for me.

No, it wouldn't be compromised at all. This is also a T-Mobile APN.
I noticed this happened after installing the leaked KA6. Don't know if that's related...

+1 for MN data outage. Good news is, I have a fresh install of Nero V5...
Just flashed Nero v5 last night and data worked great, but none this morning. In Minneapolis, MN.
I'm in the Dallas area too. My wife's Vibe is running KA5 and is having no data issues with the old epc.tmobile.com settings. More than likely a t-mo problem that's sporadic.
--Edit--
Just for the hell of it, I switched back to epc and data is still working. Tmo must be having issues.
Was just about to try the other APN and my data started working again.

Mine seems to be working now too, but going to keep the other APN saved in case it happens again. Damn TMO!!
Data is working but only getting 500kbps download based on speedtest versus up to 2MBps last night. Other APN getting about 800kbps though.

I have flash the NAND froyo 2.2 to my HD2 (DFT) and everything works great and speedy.
However, I just signed up for the USA T-mobile $15/month data plan for 200 MB/month and I am not able to access the internet using Android.
I then took out my sim card and put it in another HD2 (I have two USA T-mobile HD2) and I was able to access the internet using T-mobile data plan because this one still has the WinMobile 6.5 OS .
Is there a solution on being able to use the data plan (internet) using Android on the HD2 ?
You need to enter the correct APN settings.
Settings, Wireless & networks, Mobile networks, Access Point Names
You need an entry in there that corresponds to your provider. To get the values either search this forum for details, or google. They're publicly available, so you shouldn't have trouble finding them.
Try checking the apn and vpn settings to make sure they're the ones you need for tmous some roms don't automatically have the correct ones

The correct APN's needs to be set in the device. Go to settings, wireless and networks, mobile networks, access point names. Note: only things listed below in bold should be changed.... also note the differences in red in the second one as they're very similar except for two small things and the default and mms designations are important. I got these settings direct from T-Mobile and they work well for me.
There should be two in there. The first will be called T-Mobile US. Go into that and the settings should be:

How come when I get to the point where I go to access point names I don't see anything except the acronyn APNs at the upper left hand corner and the whole screen is black and I cannot see or edit anything.
if there are no apn's listed, then you need to create them. to do so, click on the menu button and selct new apn.
I know I had to hunt forever to find these so I thought I would post them to make it easier for anyone flashing custom firmware. Every time I reflash or do a factory reset it deletes my APN settings and apparently AT&T's technical support doesn't know how to set them up. They actually referred me to Motorola. Anyways, here they are.
You can also use the attached zip along with APN Manager from the market. I don't recall who posted the original zip so thanks anonymous internet savior.
[EDIT: Now attached is a flashable CWM. Haven't tried it yet so I'm not responsible for anything.]

Thanks, lost my APNs after flashing Alien #3 and this information was very useful!
thanks! I also flashed from alien #3 and it only gave me AT&T 310 410 as the APN.
Thankss youuu
THANK YOU so much for this listing! Someone sticky this if it hasn't been, APN listings FTW. Huge help.

Thanks a ton !! This saved me bigtime !! Alien V4 only gave me 1 apn (AT&T 310 410), and this restored all of the stock ones.
Only question is, should I select 'att us' or 'att us hsdpa' ?
Thanks !
I default to hsdpa, but both should work fine in theory
Tune it to the HSDPA I have seen better results with this setting but yes either one can be ok.. I just prefer knowing that I do have HSDPA so assume you have the same thing Cheers..
has anyone run speed tests to confirm better speeds? I have att and att tethering apns, does the hsdpa have better download or is it already intergrated into the one I have?
It should be the same. You can got to speedtest.net to confirm. When you enter the URL from your phone it will redirect you to the Android market. At that point you will be able to download the speedtest app. You may also be able to just search for it in the market.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
I run the speed test on mine I was getting about 1.5mbps down and 1.0 up with wap.Cingular,and with hsdpa I got 3.2 down and up. That fairly comparable to what others are seeing? Havent tried it while connected to wifi yet...
Does this mean I will not use HSDPA when I tether?
What is the purpose of the tether APN?
reactivating data
since yesterday when i was trying to refresh my contacts, i managed to mess up my wireless data connection. i am unable to reconnect. i have reflashed and reinstalled all apns...rebooted phone etc, but cant get wireless data back. any thoughts on why?

The ATT-Tether APN wil flag the traffic as requiring a tethering plan. If the phone is un-hacked this is how ATT blocks the tethering for those who have not bought it.
The key is
APN Boadband.
which can only be used if you bought the tethering plan.
While the generally available option
APN PHONE
Is what everybody can use.

Exactly, the tether is specifically for tethering. From what I saw when I had the tethering plan was that it still had the same speed but it connects to a different system that is designed for tethering. I think the main difference is so that it doesn't route your computer to WAP sites. It uses isp.cingular instead of wap.cingular.

Has anyone tried the APN settings for AT&T that were used for the SGS2? Its the same as our AT&T US HSDPA but it doesn't have any of the APN type settings. I gave it a try and am downloading at a constant 2Mbps faster (during regular traffic hours was getting 3.xxMbps now getting 5.xxMbps). Here's the link give it a try see if it works for all of us.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1109983
To clear up some of the confusion this APN is for the faster AT&T H+ speeds if you don't have the backhaul in your area yet this will probably make no difference.
Now as far as what I did, I did not delete all my APN's like the link I posted said (since our APN's work) I just added a new one named it whatever I wanted then under APN put phone that's it. Since our phones don't have the "internet only" in a drop down you leave that blank and since we have an mms APN already you leave that part of the instructions out as well. Hope this helps with the confusion a bit.

Doesn't work, It caps me at 4Mbps, the default gets me around 5-6Mbps.

Eh, I noticed a little jump. Not to the point that it's monumental, but around .8mbps.
to a total of 1.6mbps hahaha
It pretty unstable, I think someone in the GS2 topic said this.
I'll get 1Mbps in one test, and 10Mbps the next.

Since you are on the OTA, could you list each field verbatim?
I have tested this time and time again with this APN I am hitting anywhere from 1-3Mbps (more like a consistent 2Mbps) faster and this is same test ran at the same time back to back with my phone im the exact same position every time. Now this APN is for faster AT&T H+ speeds if you don't have the backhaul in your area yet this will probably make no difference.

have you checked the actual APN settings for our carrier? I have had it in the past when the settings get messed up.
Settings>Wireless&Networks>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names>select your APN which I assume is called ATT (or maybe Cingular by the looks of the settings I found on net) and check the settings are correct, mainly MMSC for MMS.
From looking on the net the settings should look something like this
