So I took my wife to get a new phone yesterday, and got her away from BB and onto Android. She wanted the Inspire 4G, (she liked the extra real estate), while I have the Atrix. Great I thought, another phone to play with!!!
Before I jump into breaking down her new phone, I will let her get used to it, but I did want to do side by side speed tests between the Atrix and Inspire, so I ran several tests this morning after completing an OTA update for the Inspire so it has the current software. Atrix is on 4.1.83, GingerBlur 3.1.
The results I got were interesting. (This is in the Boston, MA area, using Speedtest on the Boston Comcast server).
The Atrix hovers right around 2.5 Mbps to 3 Mbps d/l, and consistently at 1.2 Mbps u/l. Ping averaging around 140ms.
The Inspire runs 3.5 Mbps to 4.5 Mbps d/l and 330 Kbps u/l. Ping averaging around 300ms.
Speeds over my wireless network are identical with 16Mbps d/l and 3 Mbps u/l.
I know the reason for the difference in upload speeds.............the Inspire is obviously still capped at the same rate the Atrix was. What I don't like is the fact that the d/l is hugely different, to the tune of almost double in some instances. The Atrix is also much more erratic in d/l speeds, while the Inspire consistently rises over the duration of the test in a much smoother fashion.
I am going to have fun playing around with both these phones as time goes on, and now I have a mission to prove without a doubt through testing that I have the better phone!
On a side note, I made the AT&T store go quiet for a moment. Most of the employees had black shirts on with a big 4G logo on them. I said loudly that I would like a shirt, but I want the one with "4G..........we lied to you" on it. All went quiet, and I of course did not receive a response. (I had a few beers before we went in to the store).
You can unlock hsupa with a custom Tom or flash radio, they already released the update.
I had an inspire, much better and more reliable data speeds, but its just too big for me.

From HTC website:
Hotmail, Live, and MSN email auto configuration settings update.
Makes the email set up process much easier and includes the most current settings for each type of email.
Increased potential data speed at which data can travel on the network.
And I can confirm through testing this device side by side with my Atrix the upload speed is stuck at 330kbps exactly the same as the Atrix was before 4.1.83. Note the word "potential" from the HTC site.
I already put this pic in another thread so don't troll me cause of that.

I believe you. KC is pulling that however there are still parts of KC that pulls 3g and edge. I have done the speed tests on that area (3x each). I believe that areas that are mentioned to have HSPA+ are probably still being boosted seeing how the network is still kinda new. I have noticed some members posting their speed results in places like Texas and the results are phenomenal.

Yep. I can attest to that. At work, the HSPA+ speed is beautiful. I can browse endlessly while tethering.
Although for some reason at home it says I have HSPA+ yet I lose data constantly, and it goes from HSPA+ to Edge, totally skipping 3G. Either way, I have no complaints since I can just use WiFi. It has worked well everywhere else since I got the phone.

That map is awful. All of downtown Baltimore shows very fast, but I know of one tower in particular that is only UMTS, not HSPA. It would be nice to see a map of the coverage by data type instead of those vague speed descriptions.

Even though the G2 has the icon for 3G, it doesn't use it. It groups it with the "H" so it's either using 3G or HSPA+. I'm using the Mobile Signal Widget to have it accurately tell me if I'm using 3G or HSPA+.

Damn, I'm really envious of those speeds. Sometimes I'll be sitting on 0.65 Mbps if I'm lucky. My College was able to get me around 3.5 Mbps in one spot. The cons of living in Hawai'i. We get our technology last and even then, it's not amazing.

I think calling it HSPA+ does it more justice than "4G". And it's "4G-like speeds" since I believe serious 4G is 100 Mbps on the down speed.

yes, that 168 is FUTURE plans..... (who knows when that will be)
ACTIVE thoretical speeds are 21 Mbps
ACTIVE actual speeds are 6MBps - 12MBps (peak)
they have to go through stages... like 42 MBps upgrade..... and so on... they are not gonna jump to 168 over night..... there arent even any devices out that support those speeds. HECK we dont even have devices right now that support 21 MBps.... G2 is capable of 14.4 max MBPS....

Really? The article I'm referring to was posted on the Information Week site today, November 3, 2010 08:50 AM, just a couple hours before I posted here.
Does everyone understand that what they're apparently saying now isn't "the G2 is a phone with 4G speeds," but that HSPA+ is literally 4G?
In a press release issued yesterday, T-Mobile specifically refers to the G2 as one of their "4G products." I hadn't seem them do that before.

60kilobits/sec, which quite frankly is next to useless.
This is becoming an interesting little tempest in a teapot today. The Wall Street Journal weighed in about an hour ago. I can't post links, but google "4G Image Scrambled As T-Mobile USA Enters The Mix" and you'll find it.
According to the article, T-Mobile began their campaign yesterday (so I'm still not sure how it's "old news," although I know folks here are pretty plugged in).
On T-Mobile's main site, I'm not seeing references to HSPA+ anymore. They're just "America's largest 4G network" and the G2 is a 4G product.
Lotta controversy coming from the competitors, though.

Those articles are all responding to the press release and campaign begun by TMO yesterday, which has started a controversy. In short, they say your understanding is wrong now.
Yes, we all know that prior to yesterday TMO was saying the G2 had "4G-like speeds."
But starting yesterday, they said, basically, "heck with it, our HSPA+ network IS 4G. Consumers aren't interested in all that 'alphabet soup.'" (their words).
So, if you walk into the store where I bought an HSPA+ G2 two weeks ago, they are now selling 4G G2s. Same phone, though.
Im the original post, I was simply pointing out that their announcement yesterday kicked up a backlash all over the net today. Even the Huffington Post had an article, calling TMO's network a "4GERY." (Clever.)

as we all probably went through, @ the beginning of launch of the G2, network speeds were terrible however I notice it has gotten much better (I get around 7-8mbps on average in the same area I use to get 1-2mbps when launched), what are your average 4G speeds now and how do you compare them with your initials speeds when the phone was launched?

It's evened out for me since launch. I would get like 480kbps at work and like 8mbps at home, and now I'm getting like 1.2mbps at work and around 6mbps at home.

I guess to achieve the detailed stats on out download and upload speeds, i'll have to download an app to measure it. But, it just seems my wife and I are the sames speeds. When I download a rom (90mbs+) it takes the same time on both phones.

Check out these speeds on AT&T's LTE. What does Verizon have on that?

I'm an AT&T customer and I will even say Verizon been had that beat.

Good god that 4G LTE logo is ugly.
edit:for the record, I don't like verizon's either.
Come on. You mean to tell me that the Verizon "Data Card" bownloading at 50Mbps beats a phone downloading at 40Mbps. Look at the upload. Nowhere even close. NYC has DAS units all over. I'm not on NYC and you can't argue the upload. I can find a spot to show 50 if you want but I just did a random test and got these results. Just thought I'd share. Again. This is on a phone. Not a dedicated data card.

Regardless of which is better or not, I'm glad at&t is finally rolling out LTE.
I don't expect you to be able to answer these questions, but is the device you're using coming out before the end of the year and do you know if at&t plans to offer unlimited LTE data for a short period like verizon did?
Question - why does anyone give a crap? What good is that 40 Mbps doing you. Nothing on the phone will ever make use of that. Even if you are tethering to a computer it isn't nearly as useful as those speeds would be on a home broadband connection due to the data caps. At 40 Mbps you would go through a full month's 4 GB tethering package data allotment in about 13 minutes! What a joke.
considering this is on a fairly loaded network that is running in well over 5 cities I'd say its pretty good :-D
Question - HOW DID YOU GET AN LTE PHONE ON AT&T?
Also, nice speeds, obviously Verizon's LTE is going to get much better speeds when they've had time to get enough backhaul to all the LTE towers, just give AT&T some time, just like the time Verizon has had.
wow
amazing speeds you get there, I don't even get close
Great question. We all would like to know that one

I can't tell you how I got the phone but rest assured they are coming. Once the backhaul gets updated across the board everyone will see better speeds even with the 4G (HSPA+) devices. I'm not 100% sure how the data plans are going to work but I'm sure they will be capped higher than 2Gb. They will have to be capped somewhere or else everyone will use bandwidth all the time taking it away from other users.
That's all I know for now.

Alright, that's fine that you can't tell us, don't mind.
But just tell me, are we going to see LTE phones anytime soon, and if AT&T wants to speed up HSPA+ devices, they need to turn on 64QAM.
^relay that one to them for me.
VERY impressive but like verizon and sprint 4g once there's a lot of people on it the speeds drop.
But thing is all I see is a much faster way to get to the 2gb cap.
Verizon 4g is 2gb right?

Lowest for Verizon is 2GB.
But the guy said they would raise the caps... I have unlimited data, so I hope I get that on LTE also...
Need I say more Mr Verizon sees 50 Mbps?

I'm not saying that you will see a drop in speeds once everyone jumps on the bandwagon but what would you ever need speeds like that for anyway? Streaming movies? Hah. Maybe if your downloading one and don't want to wait or don't have wifi at home. Anyway, there are just a lot of new and exciting things happening with the AT&T network and the difference will or should already be seen by most of you now or in the near future.
Not only the network but the devices are getting better and better IMO (really unbiassed) I think AT&T has the better devices hands down.
For all those who asked. I can not say how I have an LTE device but they are sure to impress everyone once released.
Till next time.

Of course speeds will go down with traffic, we just don't know how much.

SGH-i727 Galaxy Nexus II LTE? Wish the At&t/Tmo merger goes through and we get the Galaxy Nexus LTE version. I have two upgrades and want something new for Christmas. LOL.
I might be late on this topic, but today I used 4G for the first time. I talked on the phone and surfed the internet at the same time! I was very surprised, so surprised I ram Pandora radio, talked on the phone, and downloaded apps from the market while on my blue tooth.
Now i'm very pumped up about 4G Android! Who cares about an iPhone now!

Sorry about this Drocap screenshot, I've been using CM7 screen capture, before I was forced to use Drocap.

Androids been 4g for a long time. Unfortunately sprints network connects to it as it pleases. I've given up on 4g until they upgrade their services, which you won't see me holding my breath over.

We can't even get 4G wimax where we live. That's why I cautiously hopeful that when Sprint finally rolls out LTE we may actually get something faster than 3G around here.
I'm one of the Lucky ones..I live In a area with very good 4g service ...
So I know how you feel Breezy...

Same here, got 8.5 down, 1.5 up this morning.
i get mediocre 4g at best. But i dont care cause i very rarely use it. Most of the time i'm on wifi
cant' live without 4g anymore in NY.. esp with crappy sprint 3g speeds. between tethering, checking email on a phone call or just loading pages faster, its so much better. obviously battery life suffers but for what i'm doing i have the phone plugged in alot so its ok
i thought 4g was just a myth

I don't get this... hasn't there been 4g for a while..???
I've always been using 4g
And there's a thread somewhere on here that makes ur 4g a lot better and connects to weaker signals but its still very quick
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
If live in or next to a major city more than likely you'll have 4g
Yup, I'm outside Chicago and get pretty good 4G service at my office. Home, not so much as it's not even there, but that's what WiFi is for. I consistently get 1.5Mb up, but you can tell that's what it's limited at. I have surpassed the 10Mb down limit a few times, but it's usually between 8.5-9.5.
If I'm forced to use Sprint's 3G speeds to do anything, I want to rip my hair out. Sometimes I think it's all the messing around with my phone I've done, but man...the 3G speeds are horrendously slow.

I know 4G been out got the longest, but many of us don't get to use it. As much as they advertise 4G, I never knew what 4G was actually capable of. I'm sure if I didn't know the full capabilities of 4G, there is many others who don't know it either. At &T advertises talk and surf the internet at the same time, when I asked sprint about 4G, the only answer I get is that its faster.
And lol xopher.hunter, I also thought 4G was a $10 a month myth.

I can't love something I don't have, sorry OP.
If you don't have it at home and don't have Wifi, don't try it when you are somewhere that has it because you wont want to use your phone ever again on 3g. I really hope the slow expansion of 4g is because they are going to roll out LTE. I got my OG Epic on launch day, activated it, turned on 4g and have had it ever since. I have literally only used 3g four times and one of those was to run Speedtest. Maybe it would be more fair if those that have never had 4g got LTE first but that's not likely.

No, he said a MAJOR city lol It's ok, I have little-big city syndrome here in Portland, OR too ... although I do get some spotty 4G service around town ... of course even that cuts off about a mile from my house. So close, and yet ...

Considering Pheonix is within the top 10 most populated cities, it is MAJOR.
