3g speed phenomenal !! - EVO 4G General

I live in green bay wi.... and have always got horrible 3g speeds. Today tried speed test, and got 2.8 mbs. Usually only got around 300-500 kbs. Maybe sprints vision network is in place here!!

Wow, I had those 3G Speeds back when I had the HTC Hero.
Rev.B should be faster.
Your actually running the 3G speeds we should have but don't. So it would be even better for you when/if Rev. B rolls out.

Damn I'm definitely jealous only can get around 2mbps if I use the Verizon prl hack

I guess I'd be jealous of the packers too if I had to play them...hopefully they pull out a win at soldier field this weekend. Back on topic I'm glad the speeds improved around here on 3g, because I'm running MIUI no 4g.

Your Lucky, im getting about 100-250kbs, and thats on a good day

Wow. I just ran a test after reading this and my speeds were the highest they have ever been.
2.4mb/700kb. Earlier jnvthe week I was on here wining about tower problems. I wonder if the problems I was having was due to some upgrade. I never ever have my expectations exceeded. Thanks sprint! Knocks on wood.

For those of you in the bay area...

My first evo got its rsa keys fried so i just recieved a new one today and was super excited to test 4G. Well, in emryville, i got consistantly between 7-11mbs down and 1.3 up.
I know 4g isnt official in sf yet and to my knowledge no towers in the east bay and i have 1-2 bars of signal with amazing speeds.. wow im stoked for the official release! Maybe this is just lack of cell traffic but im really pleased with sprint on this one.

+10. Why would you say unlimited 4g? Then it turns into hspa+ then 2gb of "unlimited data" then slow me down to 1G.? Wtf? I went to simple mobile after that.....then I went to sprint - where customer service is a plus. If your phone gets messed up you can go to a repair center to get it fixed n replaced. AND YOU GET REAL UNLIMITED 4G........DATA THROTTLE DOESNT EXIST IN SPRINT......#IMJustSaying

1/4 of your normal speed? your normal speed must be very sloooow.. when i get throttled, my speed gets reduced to 56kbps. my unthrottled speed averages from 5-7mbps. i solved getting throttled by changing my plan to 10gb data before being throttled. whats your data plan? maybe you need to raise it. btw, im with tmobile.
I went thru the same thing as a Sprint customer but I called n complained & they did some type of refreshing n viola I was gOod

LTE means nothing if coverage is low. Matter of fact, Wimax is theoretically proven to be faster than LTE. Don't know why people think LTE is so great.

Just try the different radios/baseband versions! I noticed a big difference between them! You can see the upload/download speed with "network speed" or sth!

NS4G WiMax speeds

I just found a spot near my local Publix where I was getting 3 and 4 bars of signal with WiMax, which I rarely ever see in my city.
I speed tested and was consistently getting 16-18mbps down and around 3mbps up.
I'm curious to see how that compares with what everyone else is getting on Sprint's 4g network.

Impossible. Must have been wifi.

Sprint's 4g is pretty good here in Cincinnati. I get about 6-7mbs down and 1 up at my apartment with one bar, but when I go outside I get about 10-12mbs down and 2 up with 3-4 bars.
Here is a screenshot. I wasn't on wifi, I was in the middle of a parking lot.
I wasn't getting 3mbps up here, but I have before.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
mine has definitely improved within about the last two weeks, as well! I'm getting about 15-20% stronger signal and speed
Not only that, even 3G improved in my area.

This is good to hear. Hopefully Sprint is staying good on their word and largely improving their 3G this year.
Especially looking forward to the Galaxy Nexus and LTE, even though I'm not in one of the cities getting it first.

No you haven't. Wimax used to be capped at 1mb now it is capped at 1.5mbps. Clearly your screen shot would have shown the 3mbps upload had it really occurred.

Not necessarily, wimax upload speeds were capped. No official word that it's been removed though or made higher above 1.5. Any of you claiming higher have a screenshot?

I'm in the mesa/gilbert area (Loop 202 Santan and Power Rd) and get good coverage for the most part. I can't vouch for speeds on the 4G LTE because I don't have my GS3 yet! Still using my Cappy, but the HSPA+ speeds I get aren't bad.
Here are my sprint speeds at work :-(
edit: well for the life of me i cannot get the picture to show up. It was 221ms ping, 87kbps up and 38kbps down
