Just got off the phone with customer care and I was shocked to find out I use over 30 gigs of data a month!
Made it real hard to complain about my poor data speeds at home....lmfao
Round 5gigs on 1 phone 10 on all four My kids and wife only text and use Facebook I use most of the data...

How do you do you use 30 gigs a month unless you tether? That is the only way you can get 30 gigs unless your streaming HQ stuff all day..
Ive used JUST OVER 5GB on 3G this month....easily 40+ GB on 4G (mostly tethering).
And this topic LOL I love it ever like 3 to four months it pops up

I could easily use 1 to 2 TBs a month if these **** ass phones actually worked. lmao. Yesterday I connected to a SO CALLED 4G network tower. 4 bars. GUESS WHAT! 50KB'S. OH WOW. THAT'S SO FAST! OMG, SPRINT IS REALLY DOING A GREAT JOB ON THEIR 4G NETWORK! lmao! btw, the 3G network actually worked. 4G doesn't work **** where I live. Its a joke.

haha. yeah, I'll stay with sprint. haha. But one day these providers are going to have to take a step down and stop acting like data costs so damn much as we both know it doesn't. But there is a simple fact, WiMax is no more. Sprint even attempted to this. then again, I think Wimax should have won but sadly sprint had too much control over it. They should have put a LOW cost use of the technology on it then ALL of the providers would have went that route. :-D 8M down is just fine for all of us. who needs 25M on a cell?
http://m.engadget.com/default/artic...nificant-4g-plan/&category=classic&postPage=1
I can get atleast .6 and up to 2 mpbs if I am near the towers. If you go any distance my speeds fall to .2 and stay there.
But hey only 25k people in my town = we got like 4-6 towers MAX for the entire area. and no we don't have condos and high towering homes. So we are spread out.
We have fantastic connections but only when your close to the towers. I have seen .06 mbps most of the time anyways so ehh.
I average 600mbs a montha nd last month was my most use, just over a gig of data used. Im a power user
I have excellent 4G coverage here also, I use 0mbs a month

for the first time since ive had sprint im getting the speed they've always claimed but ive never reached...im just wondering if anyone in and around pearland can tell me if they have similar speeds....i just know this isnt going to last but still a bit excited my 3g has never reached 3 or even crept past 1
I got 9 down in beverly hills yesterday with 4G, that was cool.
lol im so excited because well i have never seen 3Mbps on 3g on sprint, ive gotten 889kbps at most, i now this wont hold up for very long because if it could my 3g here wouldnt be so shoddy...this whole town is saturated in 4g and i cant get it on my evo for more then a min before losing it and my neighbor who has a franklin 4g stick gets 2bars and 500kbps on 4g...its ridiculous
I used to get 3 mbs down speed at the beginning of last year in the St. Louis area in 3g but its slower now but 4g is about 4.95 down now.

The speed test app isn't very accurate, download xtreme labs test app, its a bit more accurate, speakeasy website I think is better then speedtest.net and just like I figured my 3Mbps over 3g is back down to 600kbps
Best I ever got on 3G was about 2.6mbps. Got a little over 7 on 4G the other day in downtown Houston. Those 10+ speeds are awesome.

Is that with 4G full bars?? thats bad, i get that with 3G in philadelphia, in center city I reached 9mbs early in the morning, then I average 4mbs-7mbs in 4G!!
The 3g in my area always runs at 1.5 to 2.3 but its a small town with not many sprint users.... Sadly I'll probably never see 4g

damn im lucky when i hit 1 Mbit/sec!
I can't wait until Lubbock gets 4G or I get to go back home to MD.
So, phone destroys my internet at home. hm.
you know whats worse? I live right in the middle of anahiem, ca with 5 bars at my house, running speedtest....
wow its even worse right now...
469down/1179up
best ive gotten from this location is:
1689down/1226up
Yeah the same thing is happening for me. My phones internet speed is faster than my dsl landline at home but with my landline I know I'm most likely going to receive consistent speeds, my phone's internet occasionally spikes and stops working. All I know is I can stream things off my phone so its always feasible to try watching House before I go to bed w/o having to turn on the laptop.
Lucky for u guys. My house sucks. My dsl is 786kbps unlesd I pay $50 a month for 3mb. Then my 3g/4g signal drops like a fly. So I only get edge at my house but if I go down the street.(about 8 houses over) I get 4-6mb 4g

My phone connection destroys my home DSL connection. I get 1.5 mbps down on my crappy Qwest DSL. On my phone I average around 6 mbps or more. I need to find a better home connection.
I DO pay like 15$ a month for internet so I shouldn't complain haha.
Even after the 5GB soft cap, my cell phone is still quicker than my 1.5mbps dsl...

Hell i wish i could pay $15 can get your speeds i pay $15 with this crap as att and im only getting 786kb max but around 600kb normal. Its this crap ass block on im all the houses are in the stone ages. its either get satellite or cable there is no high speed dsl
and my cell phone if i hold it just right at just the right time in just the right temp i get 3mb. Now if i leave my house and go to the main street i get an easily 7-8mb down

I get around 7MB down, 1.5MB up on my G2. Oh and this is my home, hope no one gets mad at me for either :S
20Mbps vs 4. I must be in the stone age.
Damn, I'm loving my Uni net all of a sudden.
It actually goes a bit faster.. my download speeds vary from 6-10 MB/s.
Just a heads up. I've been connecting to the 4G network in a few places around town. So far I was able to connect in West End but it is very spotty.
Then I got a connection at the comedy club Stardome in Hoover.
I got the best connection while sitting at the Purple Onion in Homewood.
According to Clear's app a lot of Birmingham should be covered. It also said Bessemer to but I can't connect at all there

Should be! But the recent tornadoes probably just took em out.

You would think that but I'm down in Birmingham because of the power outages in Huntsville.
I got the best speeds while riding down I-65 through downtown.

The top one was the only test I took while on 4G.
I was getting 4g a couple of weeks before the tornadoes came through. I had some service in Linn Park downtown but was very spotty, and disappeared as soon as i got inside (even next to a window, the glass would stop all my 4g service). I stayed connected most of the way down 31 on my way home (doing speed tests the whole way) then lost 4g somewhere in Homewood. My speeds never got above 3 megs down, and up was pretty bad. The part that troubled me was that ping was always HORRIBLE - like 300 or more. I hope this is not the final result because its worse than 3g.
I've been getting really good 4G in both Enterprise, AL and Dothan, AL recently. Usually around 2mbps to 4.5mbps surprisingly enough. Just wish the Enterprise tower was strong enough to get a signal to my house on Fort Rucker.
Amazed that Clear has towers up in such a small place as Enterprise. Feel like I might be the only one using this tower a lot.
Well crap. I just left Helena. I was down there all weekend cause Albertville was out of power.
There are no expansion plans for "4G" in Birmingham. Clearwire is so pathetic they cant expand and actually are putting 1-3 sites in each market to avoid the FCC revoking their spectrum licensing. 5 Mbps on 4G is pretty bad anyways considering I get 14Mbps on AT&T and 35-40 on Verizon LTE.
I love outside of B-ham in West Jefferson,about 30 minutes away from Homewood. 10 mins away from Forestdale. I hate not having 4g. I wish they would put up a tower for us in birmingham. I have had my phone for almost a year and it has never connected to a 4g tower. Ever. It pisses me off that I have to pay the 10 dollar charge and cant get it. I for some reason dont get it in Homewood, at Virginia College.
Prior to enabling HSUPA, I wasn't able to break 3mbps.. but now this:

Either that or AT&T just switched on HSPA+ here in Boston
looks good...either way it helped you out a lot!
No difference for me in dc area.
It's just 3g on steroids
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
In Iowa City, IA, I've been able to get over 5 on a couple attempts since the HSUPA update, but typically average around 4. Definitely an improvement, especially with boosted upload speeds, but still not even close to this phone's capability.
New Port Richey on top (normally 1-1.5 up) and the poor ones were today at lunch in Oldsmar. Always poor there during the day, but can usually get at least 1. I don't think they can handle the traffic.
Mine actually went down when going to 1.8.3, thinking about flashing back to 5.7 and doing the radio mod thingy (so technical) and going back to the average of 4.5mbps. Now I get luckly if I reach 2mbps
While I was tethered last night I recorded speeds of 7.21 D/L and 1.58 U/L. This was in North Jersey.
I get the same speeds as my gf's iphone (1 - 3meg down / 1,2meg up)
So I don't think hspa+ is working yet..

I would agree if the speed were consistent, but it's not.

Heh,
I was at my Dad's office scanning and faxing a document for a client through myfax and man I was stuck at 300kb/sec and the total size was about 16MB. Needless to say, it took a while
Two days later I get the Gingerblur'd version of the newest update and I'm hitting 1Mb/sec up and those PDF files weren't too much of a problem.
It really does make a difference.
I am in Harrisburg, PA and I can get speeds up to 6500kbps dl and 2100kbps ul. Very Nice!

Coming off VZ and the thunderbolt...this is just right...14mb is cool but you can only use it a few hours cause your battery is lunch meat. Perfect balance between speed and battery life...
Not to mention max speed for me on vz 3g was only 300 k.

I was in NYC yesterday and for the first time I saw the LTE lit up under the 4G.
Kicked up Speedtest app and ran it.
It was unreal needle burried at 20 mg! Final reading (5 run average) was 22.6 down
and 5.6 up. This is manhattan Times Square around 3 in the afternoon where everyone
is on their phone. Thats outstanding.
Before my ATT SG3 I had an International SGS2 and the quickest I have ever seen
was 4.7 down and 1.6 up. What a difference.
4 G was just activated in my home area in PA. Ran the speedtest here and I am pleasantly
surprised. Final reading (again 5 read average) 9.3 mb down 2.4 mb up.
I am loving this phone!

Running those speed test eat up your data! Be careful unless u have unlimited

Even if he has unlimited, he will be throttled after 5gb thanks to ATT's recent policies.
I know
Yes I know, I have the unlimited plan so I am ok.....

Yeah. I'm hoping that Columbus (the 15th largest city in the US) gets LTE soon.
For some reason AT&T decided to rollout in Cleveland/Akron/Canton before Central Ohio.
I'd love to know more about how they decide where and when to rollout LTE, I'm sure there is some logical calculation involved.
Or a few darts and a map.
i Have LTE here in Charlotte and Gastonia NC i have to say it is truly amazing!
I know the feeling. I dont have it in Sacramento but when I go to Davis (15 min sw of Sac) im able to experience it and its a treat!

Vzw Rep said my town would be getting LTE by January on 2012 when I purchased my 4g phone. Here we are still stuck in 3g
