In the morning i get 10mb + pretty constant
in the evenings i do one speed test around a 1mb i could do one 10 minutes later bit later 2mb then 15 minutes later 10mb
anyway to get the speed to stay 10mb do i connect to a different node or something every time or is the speed just loads balanced between loads of nodes. Essentially want to know if there is any way to trick the network so i can get the 10mb constantly in the evenings?
This is three mobile uk
no u cannot
Think of it like dsl. the more people the slower it goes.

There's a whole thread to Three. I think they are the exception with their filtering. Most US carriers just have overloaded towers in big cities so you don't get good speeds (except T-Mobile, and maybe Sprint in some areas) usually. Also they may do QoS so the postpaid customers get more priority then the prepaid and the prepaid is over the MVNOs.
This really sucks :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

Around what they advertised as realistic speeds of 10mb on dc-hsdpa. But to be honest would be happy with a steady 3-4mb. Don't think that is unrealistic surely?

LOL - that was sarcasm; not a real question. Unlimited data? Sure but we'll throttle the hell out of you if you use too much. Yep I am a true cynic when it comes to the carriers. They will always have fine print and an excuse.

How could it possibly be good? You're being throttled back to EDGE speeds for the rest of your billing period.

You should try cskigen's throttle patch and see if it works. Its posted somewhere in the royalglacier thread. Ivr got it on my phone but I havent gone over 5 gb this month yet so im curious to know.

I'm pretty sure if you have a grandfathered data plan before they began throttling at 5gb you don't have a cap at all. How long have you had your data plan?
Edit: I'm pretty sure it was a T-Mobile CSR that said in here there is a checkbox on your account for throttled or not and if you had a plan before they began throttling at 5gb they didn't throttle you.
No telling, I've been with tmo since the powertel days. Im paying 20.00 for "unlimited android web" on the 3000 minute promo plan.

I just moved. And now my only internet is my phone. This is my first month going over 2gb. My usage so far is like 3GB and change.. Now it seems when making large downloads my 3g will flicker between blue and grey as if its downloading then resting then downloading again. And I have not had a tether speed above 300 Kb/s in a week. I was getting 700Kb/s steady.. Also notice that sometimes 3g will now turn off completely then turn back on, which breaks my tether forcing me to restart it. Is Verizon declaring war on me?

it depends on of what your looking at is being measured in bits or bytes. im talking kilobits.. If you tether and use a program like utorrent to download something it will be measured in kilabytes which 150 kilobytes is fast for 3g

So I'm on solavei, and I'm debating switching back to tmobile itself. Reason being I only get no more than 14.80 mbps, speed test goes that high and just stupid like it hit a wall. I'm using a t999 s3, do you think I'd get faster speeds on actual tmobile?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
The speed will be identical to T-Mobile if you switch. So you would be paying more for the exact same experience.
You don't believe it'll be any different since they only piggy back off tmobile?

Just for future reference, I did a test today and can confirm a couple things. I did a few speed tests with my solavei SIM card sitting my phone in one spot, got about 380-1400 ping. Switched in a tmobile SIM using three truly unlimited plan and ping blew me away, it was constantly 80-99ish. As for down and up speed I was getting about 6-13 on solavei with about 1.5 up constant. And on the tmobile SIM I got about 10-14, but I expect faster once my phone number port is complete I was told to expect it being choppy. So far I notice a huge difference in use around town, as I was running errands all day.

What APN are you using on Solavei?
I don't recall but it was a specific one that was sent to me via a automatic text from solavei. My number finally fully ported today and I'm seeing way bigger speeds, very happy I spend the extra $12 for tmobile truly unlimited plan. I can confirm solavei sets a max speed of about 14.7mbps, not bad but tmobile is noticeably better when actually using my data

Nick, I'm seeing Solavei speeds of up to 14mb/s too, which is personally plenty fast for me. When you consider that Tmobile's $50 plan slows down data speeds after 500mb, Solavei compares better
Solavei speed tests: http://www.4gmobileshare.com/solavei-speed-test/
I can see where you would think that, but a couple of things. Solavei is not just $49, the tax brings it to $58. So by that logic for $12 more you can get access to ALL tmobile towers, priority on your service, and no speed limits. Being a tech guy you wouldn't want to have a speed limit. The other thing is customer service, and not feeling like you're trying to be a part of a pyramid scam when you want to just sign into your dashboard abd pay your bill.

Solavei is only a mvno, and they only piggy back towers, and at that, only some of the towers.

Again, what APN are you guys using? I wonder if you changed APNs if it would improve?
I've used and tested every variation that was provided, including the dual apn's, but slavery sends an automatic apn setup through a special text message, which is what worked the best. I'm on T-Mobile note, but if you really want nee to get that apn for you, you can pay for the solavei plan, cuz I'm not doing that again lol.

I'm apparently not limited to 50 Mbit/s, it was just the speed test app that sucked. This is with speedtest.net . Too bad the test finishes so fast that it does not reach full speed, especially upload. Is there any way to increase the test time?
