Anyone?

Maritime GSM appears to be a service to provide cell service for people on boats. Is it possible you are close enough to a port or the ocean and are picking up this network from a ship. Although I'd think these networks would be really short range.

Nope.... 5 hours away. And ONLY my AT&T sim will pick it up

Could be something the boat uses partnered with AT&T, just for them. Or the signal is just that strong over water that it can broadcast but not transmit back from your phone to the tower?

Well like I said I`m 5 hours away GSM is not reaching that far...

I meant that the signal is strong and water amplifies the signal. But then again I'm not a RF engineer, just grasping at straws.

Is my at&t data slow?

I have never been over 1.5mbps download on the nexus. I am in an unsaturated and smaller market it seems. (cant be for certain, charleston sc)
Is this speed normal? I thought I remembered seeing my friends droid on verizon get over 3 mbps. (although it was tethered to my computer)
sorry if this seems like a redundant question. I just want to know whether i should be worried given the radio issues with the tmobile version. I am reluctant to root it if I need to send it back.
If anyone can shed light on their experience with at&t 3g speeds that would be awesome.
cheers
gary
p.s. I used xtreme labs and speedtest.net apps. tonight i am getting .5 mbps. YUCK!
1.5 mbps seems to be OK, I dont know what they quote 3g at from AT&T (when I worked there they said it was 768kbps, but that was when 3g was first launched). In Tulsa I did 3.7 down, 1.3 up. Saturation and backhaul I imagine are the key factors.

Best I've gotten in Cincinnati is this:
speedtest.net/android/1860842.png
Kinda sad isn't it...? I usually float around .4-.5 down. This is even when I get kicked up to hsdpa. I hope Cincinnati gets gets better speeds this year.
Thats about what i get when im traveling through large cities on 3g but where i live there is no 3g only edge and im lucky if i get 40-50 kbps lol

T-Mobile is working to bring more backhaul and much better speeds to most of their 3G markets this year...you should definitely see an improvement soon.
I just did a test and best I got was 1363. That's on at&t in DFW.

Alcatel-Lucent LightRadio (Sprint's New Move)

So a CNN new report says that a Sprint Spokes Woman indicated that Sprint is looking to expand their network using this Technology.
"Sprint is talking to Alcatel Lucent about this technology and we will be working with them to test and evaluate it," a Sprint spokeswoman said. "We have been aggressive in smaller factor cell sites to help us support the growth in data traffic."
Full Article http://money.cnn.com/2011/03/21/technology/light_radio/index.htm
This seems like a very solid move for Sprint if all works out with this new technology, Cheaper to operate, faster data transmissions, and better signal all round.
Sprints all mixed up Hesses not sleeping well due to the merger news yesterday
Lucent was always forward thinking as a company when they were Bell Labs. Somehow, it's not surprising to me that this idea is coming from Alcatel Lucent's shop.
And that Sprint is thinking about using these devices shows one, that they know they need to upgrade their 'net, and two, they expect to offer unlimited data into the foreseeable future, especially if these towers-in-a-box prove as deployable as they appear.
Good move, Sprint!!

Best analysis I've heard yet.
Sprint is all over the place with news and speculation. I love it!
I'm actually very nervous about the ATT-T-Mobile move. If this move goes down, Sprint is guaranteed to remain the smallest of the major service providers. If this happens, does Sprint lose their wind, or does this kick them in the pants?

Its a mad scramble for a few.
I'm sure Google will soon have their wallet open inviting Heese over for dinner before apple does
Anybody notice that Box resembles the one in 'HellRaiser' ?
Dan better be careful lol
I dont know this has failure written all over it.
If they would just slap a few of these on the towers their problems would be solved

New wireless carrier in the US?

While watching the FSU/Oklahoma game, a teaser came on for a new wireless carrier launching on September 26th.
Does anyone know anything about this? Here is a picture of the end of it I found on Twitter.

You really can't buy spectrum and build towers all over the country without a huge fcc paper trail. If its a "new" carrier, then its certainly a MVNO who is reselling access to one of the existing wireless networks.
Even that has a paper trail and I can't find anything about it. Just really curious as to who it is.
The logo looks like a "C"....
It might be a Clearwire launch of some sorts.... I wonder why more tech blogs/sites haven't mentioned it...
interested to see who this is.

small world... I've been looking at different logos and cox uses blue... comcast has a deal with sprint and clearwire already so that could be another possibility... but whatever it is, it's being kept under wraps pretty good...
Maybe Cellular South? I hear they've changed their logo to match that "C".
We dont have the stores here in Houston (But I almost switched to them back when i was in Memphis, TN).
They're probably lining up to be the new T-Mobile...
Pretty sure it's cell south as well, now.

I hope they do something big!!!

They are top notch down here... best coverage hands down. Data isn't as fast as some of the other guys, but you have coverage damn near everywhere in MS with them.
Yep... Cellular South
They are changing to C Spire Wireless....

Don't feel bad. Mine isn't always much better. I am normally on wifi when I need to do web surfing or anything major. I see you are in Dallas which I guess I could understand the speeds because of major usage. I live in a small city and still get somewhat pathetic times, usually just a little bit faster than dialup.

Ouch. I have WiFi too, but it's also an unreliable POS because it drops out every ten minutes. I'm thinking of switching, but the only other carrier that has a decent signal is Verizon, but 5GBs of data is a killer. I often pass 6GBs on my EVO.

Is the wifi a hotspot problem or a phone problem? If it is a hotspot problem then I would flash an updated firmware for it. I had a linksys with that problem and the firmware fixed it. You could also try changing the wireless channel in the routers configuration.
It's a Sprint problem.

Yea no ones confirmed just hear say, someone heard someone say they heard it happened to them so it must be true

Post your mobile data speeds!

I had never been concerned with data speeds on the Moto G, it always just worked and I never had speed issues so I didn't worry about it for the most part. But after doing some testing I'm pretty impressed with the throughput on this device.
Please post your carrier, geographic area, and signal type, strength, and band (use LTE Discovery or SignalCheck Lite)
AT&T - Bismarck, ND USA

I"ll have to do a screenshot later but I know I don't approach your best speed. The best I"ve seen is about 45Mbps down and 8 to 10 up. I have AT&T in Greenville, SC and I get my best speeds testing to a Comcast server in Atlanta, GA about 110 miles away. My pings run 89-90 ms. Of course there's so many people here with cell phones and it's just you and that other person in ND isn't it. JK

Funny part is, this afternoon I got this text message:

I haven't seen that. Of course I work for them and we're usually the last to find out.
