Post your 3G speeds - Epic 4G General

Anyone else get these kinds of speeds consistently? The first 3 were taken using the Wichita KS server and the last 3 were using the San Antonio TX server (which is where I'm at)..

Please post your setup as well. What rom and any mods.
I use to get speed like that on old acs (k0nane era) ec05 rom.... ever since I moved to Gingerbread I only have gotten 60-80 Kbs :-/

I'm on MarcusantRomV3 and with the EC05 modem I would get similar download speeds as you on the Los Angeles server. However, I flashed the EL30 modem yesterday, and my speeds have just been cut down to 20 kb/s :/

Here are mine 2 bars out of 4

I've always had speeds like this were I live regardless of my ROM/Setup, the tower that I connect to must be some super tower lol. My setup is CM9 Alpha 3 with all the mods from the Epic's development forum. (Scrolling, V6, 3G)

The best speeds I've seen were when I was using the DK28 modem. After going to EC05, then to EL30, My speeds are almost cut in half.

This is absolutely the case. I have an airrave, and would always go over 2000kbps using speedtest. Now I can barely hit 1700kbps.

do you think it is a function of the different modem? Or more like the degradation of sprint over time?

High traffic time. Will usually get around 1.5 down though. Will take new tests tomorrow.

EH06 -_____-

I take back every good thing I've said about EH06 working with Bamboozle. I went on my bi-weekly trip to NYC and had no problem locking gps. But it would drop after 5 minutes and I'd have to close Navigator and restart the trip. I received poor wifi signal in places where I normally am fine. And finally, and this one blows my mind....I lost 4G every 15 min. I'm in New York City. The best city in the world. In broad daylight. In the heart of downtown. I've never not had 4G in NY since I got this phone. I didn't like EG22 with bamboozle because it slayed my battery life and I don't like EH06 because it sucks. I'm gonna try EE03 with it, then back to SRF if it doesn't work out.

eh06 actually gives me better reception than ec05...

Radios

Can anyone hook me up with all the different radios for the ns4g? Trying to achieve a more stable 4g or even 3g connection as far as my ping goes. I currently don't have access to cable or DSL so I have to rely on my connection for everything. The ping spikes and its making it really hard for me to enjoy battlefield 3
Also, I assume I'm supposed to flash the radio through Odin in the phone section under PDA?

If u feel comfortable flashing them from recovery, in rom manager under peters section he has most of the radios.

Changing radios wont Chang your ping. There is a way to edit which data network your phone registers on lowering pings. Search lowering pings on sprint and you should find what you are liking for.

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.

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.

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?

Thank you for posting this, I did seem to notice this today, it's like wtf? I could of sworn I had good signal in the past, then I seem to realize places where I had good bars is now a lot less.

I'm seeing a lot of 1x as well, I was on ec05 and had great signal but slow dl speeds but great signal but when I odind the fb15 I topped my all time high dl speed at 1.7 with one bar but still a lot of 1x. Crazy huh
+1 for it being sprint. I have been having it happen a lot lately and I am on EI22.
Is this result of the move to network vision? Or are they working on towers now?!? Hence the feast or famine signal.
