I live in Portland, and my Nexus 4 phones are on the way. I will be using Straight Talk (AT&T mvno). Would have gone the T-Mobile route, but for some reason, speeds really suck on the northside of the Harbor Bridge! I am hoping for HSPA 21 type speeds, but we will see!

Awesome! Never really got a chance to use Straight Talk or T-Mobile near the downtown area I got pretty good speeds on my Galaxy Nexus when I was using Straight Talk. I live on the Southside and my speeds are great using T-Mobile, I get decent speeds at school though. (Carroll High School).
Anyways, glad to see a local with a Nexus 4!:thumbup:

I have a HTC One VX on AT&T LTE in Corpus Christi, I have seen a few people with the Nexus 4 and played with theirs for a while...
In the Nueces County I have gotten about 30 Mb/s down and so did the people with Nexus 4 devices

Sprint is upgrading their 3G network in advance of the iPhone launch next week. thisismynext.com had a few articles about it. I think it's both adding towers, and moving voice to a different frequency so data is not so congested.

Its called sprint network vision. Nothing to do with the iPhone.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
The timing of the rollout of the network upgrades has everything to do with the iPhone--specifically, with being ready for the heavy additional traffic that will hit their data network as soon as they release the iPhone. Sprint said that specifically in their conference on Friday. Can you imagine the bad press Sprint would get if reviewers compared 3G speeds of the 3 carriers of the iPhone 4S and Sprint was showing <400 kbps?
Ouch I forgot how bad sprint 3g was 5mbps on Tmobile 3g and almost 9 on hspa.

Wish I was getting speeds like that. I just ran a speakeasy test and got .2 mbps with full 3g bars. It has been like that for several weeks. Hope the upgrades hit metro detroit soon.

Same **** here in Miami. I called earlier about it and it didn't really get anywhere.
where are you located
I'm in Charlotte. It's true Sprint has slower 3G than T-Mobile, but of course we have 4G too. It's really only inside buildings that I'm on 3G, and my experience is most people's phones on other networks don't get reception at all inside.

What are you getting for a ping? Download ping off the market and run a continuous ping to Google.com. I get 1mbit down with a fluctuating ping between 80-130ms. Spikes up past 400 once in a blue. Its not stable whatsoever. Pisses me off. I'd be able to enjoy this bf3 beta a bit better lol

Highest i ever saw on wimax was 10mbps which I can almost hit on good hspa. :/
Sent from my Nexus S MV from the XDA Premium app.
If I had consistant access to 10mbps I would be fine with wimax. There is only one wimax tower near me me and its coverage stops about a mile from my home. Even when I can connect to it I have only seen speeds up to 7mbps, with 5 being the norm. Heck, I would even be fine with that if the coverage was even mediocre. However, the 4g coverage is atrocious around me and is unusable unless you are outside. Sprint has there work cut out for them, i think it will be years before we see any fast, reliable speeds. I just hope metro detroit is one of the first areas they upgrade since they hosed us on the wimax coverage, but I'm not holding my breath as I would think they would start upgrading towers before building new ones. Ill just have to keep taking comfort in the fact that my bill is half as much as it would be on verizon.lol

Ping is in the low 100s on 3G. Actually a lot more consistent on 3G than wifi. What are those numbers supposed to be if you have "good" service?

CDMA EVDO Rev. A is capped at 3.1mbps, on paper. Where GSM 3G is at 7.2mbps. Technically, in good coverage, I should see at least 700kbps on Sprints 3G. Unfortunately for me, Sprints network is horrid.
I tried the NS4G under Sprint's trial (about 5 months ago). I couldn't even watch Slingbox or hardly stream anything due to the slow rev.A CDMA network.
I ran back to my AT&T NS.
I'm sure the network Vision project will bring good things, as will AT&T's (and Verizon's) network upgrades, but Sprint simply is not there yet.
Shame cause I like the way they roll. That and the fact that I had Sprint for many years until the O.G. iPhone came out on AT&T (been with AT&T since then). I've always wanted to return to Sprint, but I just can't given the slow 3G speeds currently. Plus it's nice to use simultaneous data and voice.

It supports the 21mbps speeds of hspa just wont support there 4g LTE
Careful though... Just because at&t might offer it somewhere doesn't mean you'll have it in your area. I'm in the Chicagoland area, arguably one of the largest markets in this country, and all they offer here is hspa 15 because of their LTE focus. So you might not want to focus your decision on the fact that hspa 21+ is technically possible through at&t.

If you have a choice, I'd go with T-Mobile. Their 3G is WAYYYY faster than ATT's 3g...

...when I throw my sisters T-Mobile SIM in my nexus,, its at least around 2-3 MB/sec!!

The numbers don't work like that. HSPA:+15 is either 21mbps or 42mbps. The 15 is not the Mbps cap of the network.

Well, according to this link, even at&t refers to the number of the hspa+ revision as it's top speed, so if you could show me something explaining why that's not correct, they would be great.

joshnichols189 is correct. Here is why:
HSPA-15 on your phone refers to Network type, not the max download rate. See the codes posted here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2029722
Download max on HSPA-15 (HSPA+ or 4G) are 42.2, 21.1, and 14.0
Download max on HSPA-10 (HSPA or 3G) is 7.2
For more on the true max speed, see this Wiki page:

b vs B. If both of you stayed true to b = bit and B = byte, the highest you've ever gotten was only 1.25MB/s.
can anyone confirm all the posts online are not needed to get hspa+ on ATT with nexus 4? links like below say you need to have ATT do something with a fake IMEI since it couldnt detect mine and then set custom APN settings. My status bar says H but about this phone says HSPA+:15 for mobile network type. My phone when simw as inserted automatically set wap.cingular and all that and when i use speedtest.net app the ping comes back but fails to test the up and down speed. Any help is appreciated, i figure they people on this forum would know best.
PS. it wont let me post links until 10 posts. pm for links if needed.
...that has AT&T service? I'm very interested in changing my iPhone for a N4 but have read not so positive reviews of AT&T network on this device. Can anyone living and using the N4 in Puerto Rico (west coast if possible) help me out?

I wish I could. Best I can do is tell you I had a good experience with it and T-Mobile prepaid. I stayed in Salinas with family, but traveled to San Juan, Ponce, Fajardo, Bayamon, Guayama and everywhere in between. Perhaps T-Mobile would be a better fit network wise if you are looking to get a Nexus 4.

Thanks man but actually TMobile's service where I live is horrible and AT&T service is excellent (plus we have island wide LTE). I might still pull the trigger on this device but now I'm on the fence. Thanks again.

In places where LTE is prominent, it is faster than any alternative. I think Bell and Rogers have pretty good LTE, especially in Toronto. So I don't see why it would be a problem (assuming the Find 5 is LTE capable).
It doesn't have LTE.
Speed on lte cant be beat by hspa... at least not in toronto...

Bye Bye to good battery life! Its probably a weak/semi-weak LTE signal considering its Kentucky and your phone will be giving more battery power to connect to it.

my battery improved on 4g, but maybe this was in part because I had lte active, the network was up but I didn't have permission to access it (I had to ask in the shop to activate it for me)

Yeah I know. Surprising that where I live Tmobile gets service, while ATT doesn't.
That's awesome! I'm with solavei and I can't wait u til T-Mobile let's the smaller companies use LTE. But I'm it complaining much. It's mid here in jersey and I'm about to pull 15Mbps down and 2 up on hspa+. But Lte wouldn't hurt. And for those that are getting better signal with Lte. I think I read an article stating that the coverage will be superior than that of hspa+ even though frequencies are the same. Idk the validity on that though.
