Increased 3g speeds? - Epic 4G General

After 2 days having major issues with my 3G Im now getting speeds over 1mb. This never happened in this area. Not sure if there were upgrades or something but i'll take it. I used to get around 300k on a good day and about 700 very late at night.
This is in Oakland Park Fl.

This gets me excited, Network Vision?

What modem and ROM combination are you using?

I just noticed the same thing this morning. I am also getting INSANE battery life (must be due to receiving a good signal from the towers now ??)..
I'm in South Bend, IN
gonna do a speed test a few times and report back.
EDIT: consistently getting 900k - 1M downstream (finally) and approx. 200k upstream.. much better it seems...

I am also getting over 1mb inside my office where I only used to get 250 to 500k.

I wish they would fix it here in alabama. Get this, where I live, I hardly get even roaming service, without an airave, making calls and sending texts wouldn't happen. But 15 miles down the road, one city away, there's 4G. Wtf?

I'm getting 9.4 mbs on 4g. That's good for here as well.

at home I just started getting 2mb down and like 500 up on 3g with ee03 modem.

Wow... I just hit over 100 kilobit here! That's a record for this area.
1912ms ping, 203 down, and 176 up.

I think the description is talking about using it on US Cellular Phones to roam onto something else. I have been using Roam Control to roam onto USCC for almost a year (as long as I've had the phone).

Of course at my house (about 2mi from the tower that gave me 9mb) I get nothing..... but it's not too far away
Damn, wish had 4G here. To bad that won't be until like 2025 considering there isn't 3G at my house.

These worked REALLY well.
i can pull 6mbs up north of the river sometimes even 8-9
Yeah I was over in Independence (KC Area) one day sitting in a parking lot and I was getting 6's and 7's down. But I my house I barely get a regular Sprint signal.
Damn - no luck. Guess I'll just have to wait until the signal is stronger down this far south.
Thanks for the help guys!
Actually, i went about 1/2 mile north this afternoon and got 4g indoors for the first time ever! And full bars to boot! Thanks for the help guys!

At my work in O.P. - Indoors - just recently we are getting 8-9 - I even hit 10 once...
when i first got the EVO we were only getting 3-4 indoors or anywhere for that matter

FTR I can only get 4g Indoors in my house on the top floor next to a window..
let me know if there is a KC EVO meet up
Not in KC, but still in Missouri here. In STL I've hit 9.5Mbps max down, with an average around 7.5Mbps.
Too bad I have to drive north 60 miles to pick it up
Oh well, I'll have it eventually, I'm in a (relatively) good sized market to Sprint, and I'm in a bubble of 3G thats ~30 miles wide that theres nothing on either side of but north to STL. I'll get it before some people but not early.

Man LTE is sooooo amazing. But the uploading being 22 is f**king awesome!
just thought I would clear this up, The high uploads are due to the speedtest app not being able to measure LTE uploading correctly.
These scores are completely inaccurate.
It might as well say 99999999.9999999mbps upload.

Oh that makes sense. But I get those download speeds on my Moto Atrix!
Is anyone else having a problem with their atrix switching to Edge? I'll try to run a speed test or watch a video and it will just randomly switch to edge, then no signal, then back to H. What's the deal?
That was the point of this post. Most atrixes (Atrices?) are faster than this. Mine gets 5 down
Intersting results - mine were much different in Phoenix AZ.
I think in general the speedtest app is broken. When doing it on the webpage I was getting more consistantly between 15-20 MBps download and 5 MB upload.
I am actually giving back my atrix tomorrow. Best phone I have ever had, but the network is not even 3g speed out here (even with a microcell in my house I still can not get over 1.5 MB download and we all know about the stellar upload speed)

So if the Atrix only shows H+ than why does my Atrix switch a 3g symbol everyonce in awhile for a few seconds. I dont understand it.

LTE uses a single channel(SC)-FDMA while WiMax still uses OFDMA for their respective uplink signaling. OFDMA is what 3G uses, hence why you can still get an accurate reading on the Evo.

If there was any question about EF02 4G speeds...

Even though the WiMax baseband radio is still DH24 on the Epic, I believe the rest of the newer RIL code makes a dfference. My best 4G speed test I've ever gotten was around 7Mbps at Arrowhead Stadium, which I believe has its own dedicated WiMax MBSS. I decided to do a test in Overland Park with full 4G signal. Here is the result, and multiple tests were in the same ballpark:

Uh, no, I posted that. It is definitely throttled at 1 Mbps. While it says 1.10, it says that because their QOS implementation has to normalize the throughput until it is steadily at 1 Mbps. Since this is a cellular technology, their base station can compensate for signal quality variations by changing modulation and symbols per second to achieve the desired throughput.

This was the best speed i've ever seen on 4g here in Irvine, CA. i only had 2 bars of 4g service. I'm running Simply ASOP v3.1.1 (Froyo 2.2.1 Build) with the EF02 modem.
In other areas around OC, i'm seeing upwards of 1.9M download on 3g with full signal. Much higher than i've seen before. I'm not sure what the baseline is though, for 3g speeds.

You must not like iPhones... Sprint's 3G speeds have been getting progressively worse over the past year and I'd say it probably due to free smartphone promos (e.g., free Evos through Radio Shack--I know three people that got them for free) than iPhones. Sprint knows about it and is doing something about it. I don't remember where I read the article (I just googled it and unfortunately couldn't find it) where it states that Sprint is improving their infrastructure. I flashed back to Froyo because I thought that might be the problem and my speeds did increase for a while and then dropped back. Just be patient.

Here's my "normal" speeds... I was getting faster speeds on dial-up back in 1995. This has happened in my area since last November. Before that, I could easily pull 2mbps all day and all night.
Everyone else with this problem, do your speeds increase late night/early morning? Between about 2am and 6am, I can pull about 1.3mbps, but during the day or any other time, I can NEVER get above 100kbps. Obviously this shows that the towers are just overloaded, and not broken, as Sprint keeps claiming.

Sorry to hear you are having 3G issues. My 3G shot up about a month ago from about 0.3m to more than 1.0m. I have never had anything below 0.1m unless I was roaming on Verizon. Now I'm pretty much above 1.0m with occasional slow downs, but still over 0.3m when slow.

Typical <1Mbs. Upload speeds are usually faster than download.
I have had crapy 3G speeds ever since I switched to the hero just after it came out. Before that with my touch pro I would get 1.5 Mbps easy all day and night.
The iPhone is not going to slow down the network anymore than any android phone.
Sprints data sucks!!!!!!

Anyone seeing improved 3G speeds?

With the start of Sprint's "Network Vision" multi-modal cell site build out, I, like many others are hoping that means faster 3G speeds.
I understand coverage will improve, theoretically speed should too. It's still very early on in the new development, but has anyone seen faster speeds?
I haven't seen any improvement. I don't think many are. Check out the boards on sprint's website. Nothing but negative vibes.

After seeing this i figured i'd unplug my airave. Before i would only get 2bars @ about 200kbps. Now i have 5 bars and 1.4mbps. Set to sprint only with the latest radio files. This data increase is new

I would love to hit 1 mbps. I haven't seen any improvements but I've heard some people in bigger cities who have. It would make sense large populated areas would see roll-out first.
Here's what I'm getting currently
0.44Mbps download
0.27Mbps upload
Heres another ss that i took now. Speed still the same so must be fixed.

My speeds have actually gotten a LOT worse in the past two weeks. Went from getting 400 kbps-1500 kbps to 50 kbps today. ****ing ridiculous
Not seen any better speeds at all,but then again the ghetto has 4g before i do and i live in the inner city.
My speeds are definitely better went from 250 KB/s to 1053 its an improvement so I'm happy hope they keep it up.

My speeds are still crappy. Depending on the time of day I get .02mbps to .21mbps download. I live in Scottsdale, Arizona. I have called Sprint numerous times and they state there is no issues here. I'm running a stock EVO, not even rooted. Anybody have any ideas.

My speeds in NC had been 1Mb/s and faster until late last week, now they are always less than 400Kb/s Down and 30Kb/s Up. Tonight it's much slower on the download side. Sprint really has to kick NV in to high gear or lose a lot of customers soon.

What part of NC are you at? I'm in Raleigh/Cary and they have been absolutely terrible lately.

Yeah, Tempe sucks too for speed. Though I've found that I'm able to stream stuff as long as I can get 100kbits or so.

Me too but I'm in the middle of nowhere sharing a tower with about 20 houses in its range after 1am til about 5am I can get over 3mbps. We just had an infrastructure upgrade and a new tower in the last week cuz some dumbass truck driver fell asleep at the wheel and smashed thru the tower. Last night I had 2.2mbps upload and 4.1 down while tethering according to my network monitor
Edit: and I was on 3g cuz we don't have 4g yet, apparently they put the hardware in while replacing the tower but have not activated it for use yet. Although on a few occasions I have been able to connect to 4g in the last week probably while Sprint had it powered for "testing"
Edit 2: I just checked and have been upgraded to PRL: 60683
