Post your 3G speeds

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.

Best modem / carrier / region

Which modem are you using? Who's your carrier? Where are you?
Let's see if we can work out which is the best modem for your region.
Modems can be found under development, [modems] all radios in one place- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1645202
I'm with Telstra in Sydney Australia and still swapping modems to determine what's best.
If we get enough feedback I'll update the OP to reflect most common preferences.
Thanks

I'm in Vancouver with Bell, using LB2. That said, I haven't noticed much difference among modems. I haven't received poor performance from any of them.

I was using the LB2 modem for a while, recently switched to LR1.
No discernible difference, although I am in Melbourne, Australia with Vodafone so that may be why!

i actually reverted from LR1 to LP5 for Indonesia..

LB2 in Australia with telstra, best for me.

Why do you revert because I updated LR1 from LB5 lol....
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

I am in US and on ATT MVNO and I just recently tried 6x different modems and honestly I have not seen any difference. After every flash I checked my signal strength and speed tests and they were all about the same. I'm on DXLC1, even though it's supposedly not for my region, because it was the last one I tried and don't care enough to flash another one because they all seemed the same. Just my experience YMMV. Cheers

when installing modems, does it matter what rom/base i'm running?
like are there samsung only modems, or like cm9 only ones.
or do they all work with each other?
never flashed a modem before...
just tryna be safe.
running PA 0.5 btw.

LR1 here with Vodafone Australia, works great with speeds up to 8 mbits and great battery life.

Anyone tested in norway? With netcom?

CM9/10 and their derivatives like PA, asylum etc don't include modems (radios/baseband changes) in their ROMs.
So if you switch to a CM9 based ROM you'll see the baseband (modem) of your last Samsung based ROM.
Switching (flashing) another modem is safe, either via CWMR or mobile Odin. You can even use a GB (e.g. LB1) modem on ICS.

Sorry to disagree but that is not correct. Please try some different modems and speed test to confirm.
I've download twelve modems and found significant difference in ping, upload and download speeds and latest is not best.

CM9 - T-Mobile UK - Speedtest

Hello all
just wondering if any of you guys use CM9/T-Mobile UK and also what kind of speeds you currently getting because mine are below 1mbps download and less than 0.5mbps upload :/
Truely shocking to say they are the first to bring out 4G!
Baseband Version : i9300BWLH1
Any help appreciated
Also if anyone on original T-mobile firmware can you advise of the default modem
Thank you

Thanks for the reply :/

I don't think their 4g will speed up the 3g but you're right, yours should be faster depending on your connection.

EE who will be running the 4G network is the company who own both Orange and T-Mobile. the I-9300 isn't LTE compatible so it's not worth mentioning that, as for your low speed contact customer services and ask for the iPhone data speed cap remover to be added to your account, you'll need to speak to technical, I had it added to my Orange account and speeds went from 500kb to 7000kb.

Im the same. Running stock rom Tmobile uk hspda.
Was actually pretty surprised i was getting that amount. I only get 2mb max with o2 broadband in the house!

Ignore the first one as that is wifi..
Battery life, seems good to me so far, varies on each build of the custom ROM, as in gets better each time. I get a full day easily.

Once coverage spreads and the price drops by at least 50% I'll have some 4G but until then? Thanks to all the early adopters :good:

I'm on the 10 GB mobile share plan also. Maybe your signal is weak where you're at? Also i did mine pretty early in the morning so probably network traffic was low

To be getting those type of speeds what apn ate you using? Speeds are never that high in Houston.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk

I never touched the APN, just left it how it was out of the box:
I posted my very highest speed but Ive also gotten down to 16 mbps and everything in between.

My APN is untouched as well. Also on the 10gb mobile share, but I'm up in northern Virginia.
Never had data speeds this fast on my iPhone... Same network, same location. I think the Note 3 (usually) does a good job of maximizing data speeds!
