Bandwidth Speed

What kind of speed are you guys getting? no wifi please

4871 down 1890 up. Ookla speed test app with wifi off.

N Puerto Rico hspa is new, I ran 3mb and .5

I average 4500 to 5500 down and 550 to 650 up.
In really good areas I can get 7000+ down. But I haven't tried speed test in a lot of different areas in my city yet.
I can't wait until the network is fully up and running.

7 megs is nice

I've tested everywhere from 0.12Mbps and 9.1Mbps, but typical is between 4 and 7Mbps. Uploads are fairly consistently between 1.5 and 1.75Mbps.

Does the title of this thread bother anyone else? Bandwidth and speed are two different (yet related) things.
ANYWAY...I'm getting 3-4Mbps down and 1.5Mbps up most of the time. Every once in awhile I'll see my download speed jump up to 6-9Mbps. Upload is constant for me.
Tampa, FL area.

wow, you wonder why ive been on here for two years and hardly post. i feel like im in grammar school, sorry teacher ill make sure you proofread my next post

I can get 10 constant... bursts of 11 and 12 every now and then.

and I get a 10mb test when wifi connected to my home 15mb connection. I'm jealous

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?

I've heard that the ping speed is the more important number - any idea why? I seem to get about the same ping time, about 100 to 130 ms, whether I get 3Mbps or 8.

So what speeds are you guys getting?

Granted that this is the new Galaxy S 4G and there is not a place for us yet, just wanted to post this to see what others are getting.

He is saying your faking it because on HSPA+ I max out around 1800 kbps..

Generally, I get 2-3 Mbps down and a little over 1 Mbps up. Yes this is 3G, not WiFi, and it's the original Vibrant (KB1 modem).

I just ran the app and thats wut it said, should I post a video? My score was in kbps though not mbps ill try all settings so theres no confusion.

buddy, that's entirely INCORRECT. Internet speeds have absolutely nothing to do with ClockSpeeds.

I didnt even know what the app was testing, saw people using it so I did a quick test n posted like a noob, but I would like to add that having your phone perform faster helps with downloads in many ways, my device never brought up internet pages as fast as it does now, market blinks on, n downloads go from 10% to 45% then 100% in seconds. I did alot more than OC the processor but it was the frosting on the cake

Anyone noticed a speed increase?

I have had terrible download speeds on sprint for another half a year. Now I'm getting 1.5 mbps down and its been like that for a week.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

Sprint has been going through and updating their towers to handle more load.
For my area the estimated repair date is 8/31/11.
Not sure why people thought this was going to be a permanent issue.

My local tower went from 1k to 1.5k down to 28 to 67kb down since Friday. If it is still bad tomorrow I will be giving sprint a call.

I noticed the tower closest to my house was upgraded or something. Went from .3mbps to 1.75 but its in and out it seems. One day its good the next its back down to .1mbps or 100kbps which is pretty much unusable. When it takes 2 minutes or more to load google's mobile webpage something is bad wrong.

Not better for me, still getting 50kbps down

Sometimes it's not about population but what's cheapest and easiest.
I mean if it truly came down to population then NYC would be the first for every tower upgrade by all carriers.
But that's not the case.

I've seen brief moments of better speeds but they never stuck around.

I had some speed problems back in January/February, but it cleared up a while ago. Now it's not too bad here in San Antonio except for pockets of signal loss in weird places.

I had decent data speed since I sign up. But since couple weeks ago untilled still my data speed drop down 100 to 50. I'm not please about this but I have patiant and hopefully sprint will improve there data speed.

I've been putting upwith 50-100 kbps speeds for almost a year now at work. If they don't improve by next July, I'm heading back to Verizon.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat, though there was one Friday a few weeks ago that I pulled over a Mbit per second and was able to stream something on Netflix in the afternoon. Was hoping they had finally fixed the tower by work but nope, Monday it was back in the dumps. If it's still like this when my contract comes up I'm going to have to consider changing carriers.

I am in St Louis and usually i average about 600 kbps but yesterday and today I am averaging about 1600 kbps and last nite I was averaging around 2200 kbps. I have never had speeds that high and I have been with sprint for over 9 years in St Louis. This is all on 3G, I cannot get 4g coverage at my house.
Where I work I usually roam in the office but now I am getting 1500 kbps on sprint.
Hopefully it will last.

in a small town nearby i use town because it isnt a city because its part of the city i live in but its a town. Yea one of those places..
Well anyways where I live i seem to be pretty far from a tower. im like a mile or something from it and i get around .3 m down. and when im in the other town which i can get within hundreds of feet of the tower i get 1.8 down an down the city has only 22k people so for me its the distance from the tower. and not many of them here.

Where outside of Philly? I'm in zipcode 19403 (Norristown) and have yet to see even 1MB down (there is no LTE here). I'm kind of bummed about it. In Paoli tonight I saw 1MB down. No LTE there, either.

I am about half an hour east of Dallas, TX

Up: 13.12Mbps
For a sad comparison...

AT&T has always had a subpar network in California, it's due to the fun little regulations over there. They do try to improve it, but as they free up more of their limited spectrum they do have available over there you will see better speeds.

yea, but by that time the sheep will get LTE and we all will be back down to 2-3mbs again due to congestion. sucks.
