Bad download speeds anyone?

So before the 83 update I was getting about 3.0mbps down and 0.30 up.. after I'm getting 1.4-1.8mbps down and 1.0-1.3 up...
Anyone else with similar problems?

Yeah kinda. AT&T capped the upload speeds and I think lowered the cap on the download speeds.....
AT&T can suck my left nut 10x

hey dude. if you hate att so much. why dont you just like change companies. i see you hate on there where i see your post. just saying...
it gets kind of annoying.

I jumped ship to tmo to the g2x. The phone overall perfoms much faster than my old atrix and I get 10 mbs down and 1.2 up on their hspa network

At first, My download speeds werent that great but after running the speed test a couple of times im getting 4.5 down 1.2 up consistently in an area where i got 3.0 down.
This also happened to me when i did the HSUPA mod before 1.8.3 was available.

(Before reading this thread I was about to replace my SIM)
Anywhoo... Here's where it gets weirder.
I took my SIM out of my Atrix and put it into my Milestone and now I'm basically getting the same crappy speeds on my Milestone now too.
^ A couple of days ago I was getting 3MB DL on my Milestone and now it's struggling between 1.0-1.5.
Somebody that has another Android phone (especially HTC or Sammy) give it a try and let us know if you are getting basic garbage "DSL-like" speeds too...

I just noticed I am on 3G now, same location as yesterday, but was on H+ yesterday. Downloads have dropped from 4-5Mbps to 1.2Mbps. Uploads still 1.2Mbps with. 83.

Wierd because after the update I see 4-5mb down as before I only was getting 1-2mb down. You may be in a slow bad connection area

If that reply was for me I should clarify that I have had. 83 since it was pushed to me for beta a couple days back. Speeds were great till today at home where I always get good connection. Phone is showing 3G and speeds have dropped on the download side. Finding it strange I now show 3G.

pretty pathetic download now....wth.... before the update on 1.57 I had about 3.5 down and .3 up and now after the 1.83 update I have 1.5 down and 1.4 up. Testing at exactly the same location within a 15 min time difference.

Data says it's slowed but it's not! Lol

So I went over the 5GB data cap again and suppose to be slowed but for some reason it's not. Lol awesome!

Nope just using normal stuff like Pandora and Web. Very easy to do. Done it 4 months in a row! 5GB is not that much buddies. Atleast it's not the New 2GB data cap. Could do that in a few days. Very easy with 4G data speeds service. One reason I haven't upgraded my plan or device. 2GB is a freaking joke!

porn. it;s always the porn.

i got 'throttled', for the first time ever, this month too. except i have the same thing, except i'm consistently getting faster speeds than i normally do. i'm normally in the 2-4Mbps range, but since i got the throttle text, i've averaged more like 5-7Mbps. now i'm over 6GB for the billing cycle. if this is throttled, can i has it all the time??

Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

That's a crazy amount of data.
I bet you're not throttled because they simply haven't caught you, but the app itself is showing that message.

The throttling is incremental and automated. Being that you probably are in a good enough area that your 3G speeds are GREAT. Then your 2G speeds and/or THROTTLED speeds are GREAT as well or just GOOD. Alot of people are in areas where there 3G speeds are poor and im talking less then 1Mbps down. So their 2G speeds and/or THROTTLED speeds are extreamly poor.

Lol subzerold you've got me beat....now I have an incentive.....to beat you ;-)
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

Did any of of you who didn't get throttled switch roms while you had unthrottled data and afterwards still became unthrottled?

Well that could very well have happened....I generally flash roms about once a week or two weeks and or wipe and reflash....I don't stop long enough to know for sure how I get by without getting throttled ....I tend to flash new themes and other stuff till I end up screwin something up then wipe and flash again....you might say im a flashaholic lol

So you did switch roms while being unthrottled? I'm wondering because I want to try CM7 and right now I'm also unthrottled and I'm scared if I switch roms I'll get throttled again.

I never got throttled,I flashed several times durring the time I should have been throttled though and had no issues

My account doesn't even show the data used at all. Not through the website, the app, nothing. Had to dl 3g watchdog just to have an idea of the amount of data I'm using. I never use more than 2 or 3 gigs if that so I don't know about the throttling for me. Got a couple days left on my cycle, may just start tethering like a mofo to test out!

We are being throttled, its just not easily noticeable.

I agree to this statement. With me I would average around 5-6 mbs and now I'm being throttled and I'm down to 1 mbs. Its either that or I was in a bad location but the "throttle" isn't as bad. I'm not sure if you were kidding with this statement, but I agree.

No not kidding. Normally I get 5-6Mbps. Throttled I get 3-4Mbps.

proxy isn't that bad. besides they're many places that has a proxy server built into there site now.. Plus I think Sopa would have only block the domain (dont quote me on this).. So an IP address would bypass that... Which would also be no biggie.. just an extract step.

TPB was supposed to be shut down log time ago and is still running strong. I dont dl from there because I know the gov is tracking IPs and they hope to be able to drop some penalties at some point.

Ban.

OP we all know how dropbox works. And everybody has their method to back-up their apps. Every s3 user got the dropbox app when they got the phone, and I think it's safe to assume that people who want to back-up their apps know how to use it.

Why is that I wonder? Surely there are other places to store food processors? On top of the kitchen cupboard, by the back door always seems to prevail.
Maybe I'll digitise it and upload to dropbox, then it'll be out of the way. You know, Tron style.
