Also called T-Mobile they said there was good HSPA+ coverage where I am. Interference? Neighbor running a jammer?

Noooo, it's not your neighbor. LOL.
Has this happened to your before you got the n4?
If you work in a office building, walls could be the culprit that you are not getting fast down speeds. Maybe t mobile is refarming the area where you work. There are dozens of possibilities why you're not getting speedy down speeds. Do not rely completely on t mobile's coverage map, no carrier's coverage map is 100 percent accurate.

It happened to me last week but I am on straight talk at&t sim card.too days after refilling up service I was getting 120-190 kbps /when I was getting before with s2 was 5000mbps -7000mbps so I called straight talk and they refresh my service and now I'm getting good speeds again
Don't take T-Mobiles word for it. Look at the coverage area map on their site and see how coverage is in your area compared to where you work, then troubleshoot from there. Could be walls of the building or just coverage issue. Compared to average speed on the N4 3Mbs is petty slow. I get that for my upload for example.

He said 3MB/s which is different than 3Mbps. (i've started using the switches now AND case sensitive Bs because people still don't notice the difference Maybe we should just go 3MiB instead now as that would stand out more )
Then again getting 3MB/s would equate to about 27Mbps straight.... even DC-HSPA+ might have a tough time doing that other than for a burst here and there.
Definitely not a building issue, as its a small house where I watch clients. Even walked around the house to see if I could get better speeds. My bars are full, T-Mobile is just spotty I guess. Also never happened on my defy, guy at tmobile said it was my phone, I lol'd hard and walked out of the store.
And thank you for noticing that I used MegaByte rather then Megabit. For those unknowing, there's eight bits in a byte

Go outside your work and see if speeds are improved. I'm thinking that the walls of your building are made up of something that's brutal on RF penetration.
I'm having a similar issue. I get great speeds at home and at work. But it's pretty much unusable at my school. I know it was working fine before the winter break so it leads me to think that the issue started after they enabled the 1900 band here in San Antonio.

Like aluminum siding, it's kryptonite to T-Mobile's signal.
Just seems like a hole in the signal, probably a temporary thing, but data speeds don't pick up for around a mile radius.

I think I give it another few days, trying a few different locations, but was just wondering if anyone else experiences something like this, before I go through RMA'ing it and reinstalling everything, etc...

I am very disappointed with Tmobile's 3G speed. With Good signal strength, it averages 0.75 mbps down 0.7 mbps up. Will this get better when HSPA+ is available?
Hey all,
With nothing else running, no matter what area I am in and regardless of the browser I use, I max out at 300kbps. Average is about 150kbps! I am using the mobile test from DSL reports. I am in the metro Detroit area.
When I use the same test on my iphone, I always get at least 1,800 kpbs!!
What gives? I know a 3g fix was released months ago, but that was before I got my epic.
Any suggest?
Thanks in advance,
Matt!

Sprint's 3g sucks. A few days ago I took my Epic in to the ATT, T-Mobile, and Verizon stores around. I did side by side tests with the Ookla speed test app on phones with similar hardware to the Epic. Every other network's 3g performed better than Sprint's when I tested them with multiple speed tests.
No matter where I am I rarely get above 500Kbps over 3g.
This was all in San Antonio so YMMV.
depends on location and signal strength
3g sucks in Louisiana too...hell a lot of areas around here are still 1X! On a normal day around town you are lucky to see anything about 80 kilobit. The phone is really useless for apps unless you have a wifi connection. I use force roam a lot to roam on vzw evdo anytime I need to stream or download something.
It's both Sprint and the Epic. Sprint has pretty bad 3G speeds compared to other providers but the Epic makes it a lot worse. It has real sh*tty radios all around. My friend has an Evo and it gets double the speed (both up and down) in the same spot as me.
Its theepics radio.
The ping is horrible too.
I tested sidebyside with my sisters iphone 4, and her ping was 19ms. The epics? 200. Tried on wimax, the difference?about 20ms lower.
Did the test on my friends hero, his ping was 30ms and was pulling 2mbdown 1 up
Epic was 300 down on 3g and on wimax was 3mb down.

It's strange, in the NOLA area my friend and I do speed tests in different areas in the city (pinging the same server). I get maybe 80kBs down and ~50kBs up (Pings ranging from 133 to 200+ milliseconds). My friend ends up getting ~200kBs down and ~700kBs up.
Of course those numbers vary, but my phone hit 200kBs 1 out of 75 pings. All others were less than 100kBs up/down.
I bring my phone into Sprint for service and the techie decides to compare speeds by bringing up the same website (MSN.com). It felt like it was a waste of time as both phones pulled the site up near the same time. I just don't understand this instability with pings and speeds in our area.
FYI: Be careful with data roaming. We are capped at 300MB a month for data roaming. Anything over is $0.25/MB.

Are you sure that you're actually on 3G service? Those speeds sound like 1xRTT. Your phone WILL NOT tell you that you're not in a 3G area. Only way to find this is in the phone's service menu. So, I repeat, your phone may read "3G", but you are infact probably using 1xRTT, not 3G (Ev-DO). 125kbit/s is average for 1xRTT.
Can you please share the method for getting into said service menu and how to check? This will be interesting to find if its in 1x or not ...

I have a steady 4g and I live in NYC as well, specifically Williamsburg. I get about 4 bars outside, one to two bars while inside.
When I lived at my parents house in the Bronx, I got full signal from inside their apartment and it was great.
Where do you live that you get bad coverage? I always considered NYC to have great coverage, but so never tried it in Queens. It may be worst there.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I'm in St. Louis, and I find it to be pretty thin. As others have mentioned, the frequency means that it just doesn't work well indoors. And it destroys my already terrible battery life. However, if I can get a signal, and if I'm near a charger, the speed is very nice.
Overall I'd say my WiMax experience is a C-.
HERE IS A FACT. this is A FACT! Sprints 4G network is a joke. They have no real workable 4G network. Having a tower here and there doesn't work! Sprint HAS NO PLANS IN ANY FORM OR WAY TO INCREASE THEIR WIMAX 4G NETWORK! They are coming out with LTE phones for a reason. because they are stupid and don't know how to run a company. Other companies LTE networks were LARGER than Sprints ON THEIR FIRST DAY TURNED ON!
My biggest annoyance with 4g is that sometimes it won't load a webpage. With 2-3 bars of 4g even. The progress bar will get about halfway, then stall out. It downloads files quick, but for some reason just has issues with webpages.

I had the same problem when i first got my Evo and I was pissed, when I called Sprint, we went through all kinds od procedural BS, but after a month of calls to Sprint and HTC, we came to the conclusion that it was a hardware issue and could not be repaired, so they gave me a new phone. Then I was getting 5 Mb per second. I advise you to let Sprint know and do not give up, they will replace your phone with whatever you want, make sure to let them know how pissed you are, it helps

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.

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.

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

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.
