I know this is completely subjective depending on where you live. Just recently my area went from 2G/Edge to HSPA+ (I have an unlocked R800at I am using on Tmobile in the US)
Anyways not too long ago Tmo finished refarming their 2G two AT&T compatible 3G. So now I am getting HSPA+ everywhere I go and its pretty consistent and nice.
So I decided why not make a thread and have people post their screenshots of ther speedtest results, thought it might be fun.

Hi there, I have run the test twice, one in one server and the other one in my home town server (Bilbao), here I let you the screenshots
Edit: I suppose that you don't understand Spanish, so here you have translated

This is fastest i could get, but it is a bit useless to me because where i have fast mobile net, i can use wifi, and where i can't use wifi, mobile internet is slooow (on edge)
I typically run the speedtest 3 times and screenshot each one. I run the tests back to back from the same spot.
Thank you for sharing. Anyone else like to share their results?

This app is just like Google Maps but instead of traffic shows you 4G on a very detailed scale. It's based off reports from other people running the app and helped me find a location 4 blocks away that had reported 4G. I walked over and got 2Mbps down on the SpeedTest.net app.
I live in NYC and 4G is not official here yet so this was a great surprise.
Look for "4G MapViewer" on the Market and grab it! You might find a location nearby and it will help everyone else!

thats using prl 52341 40miles outside of atlanta.
Is that using app or browser? I live in norcal mts and the only net options I have are verizon 3g or aol dialup and the nearest broadband is 4hrs south in Sacramento. I have always wondered if it was possible to boost 3g speeds or what the limiting factors were? My 3g has never gone over 1.8 mbs and 1.2 is typical on my android (0.6-1.1 mbs max on my BB LOL)

You could try a network extender... There also is a speedtest.net app in the market.
This is my speed with two or three bars of signal
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA Premium App
Yeah I use that and cnlabs test...best results were from pdanet almost 1.9 (one time) but I get a more consistent 1.3from wifi tether recently and 1.6 as its top (once)

I'm in Reynoldsburg, Ohio with 2 bars of 3g. My speed is avg of 500kbps down and 100 kbps up. I have hit as high as 1meg down on the right day. Pings are usually in the ~125ms range.
Sweet, I'll be DL'ng speedtest later.
I'm such a nerd............................................
Just thought I would ask what kind of speeds others are getting on the DC-HSDPA data. I was amazed with regular download speeds of over 15Mbps but tested just today and got 26.2 Mbps down and 3.38Mbps up.
This is unbeleivable, who needs 4G.
This is on the 3 network by the way.

where are you ? London im guessing.
The best i have got like 5mbs on 3, but im on the outskirts of birmingham, need to go into city centre to see
Best I have got so far 24mb down and 3mb up on 3G with EE

one'ed....
i think he meant the bbc news APP is back ...because it was incompatible with the htc one at the beginning (sorry wrong thread )
From my understanding DC-HSDPA (DC=dual channel) requires you to have good reception from TWO base stations. So you need to be in a city centre or densely covered area. If you are on the outskirts of anywhere, you are likely only to get one strong connection. So far the highest I saw was 14Meg on Three, but I haven't been into London with the One yet.
LTE will be better because you only need a good connection with one base station to get those kinds of numbers.
So while it is true that DC-HSDPA gets very close to LTE...LTE will be more consistent once its widespread.
Wow I need to get one of those phones I'm on 3 and in London my one X only gets like 3mbps

So today I got this nice notice of Android that I'm reaching my mobile data cap. So as it seems, is that the aospa browser downloaded 1GB of data in the background during the night between 1 and 2 november.

I'm very concerned on what caused this and costed me €10 of mobile data. I deinstalled the browser from /system/apps for now. I don't use the aospa browser myself, I use Google Chrome.
Can I check somewhere, or in some logs what it did and what caused it?
BTW, the data is really used, and not just a bug in the "Data Usage"-tab, as my carrier states I only got 178MB left for the month.
Have u done any speed tests for the your mobile data? Usually that eats a lot of data; even just doing one test.

No, and besides that would turn up that the speedtest app would have consumed that data, and even in the background.
Specifically the aospa browser downloaded 1.05GB in the BACKGROUND.
Thread closed so the OP can create a new one in Android Q&A, as per request.
[My new Galaxy S5 does not seem to be getting great signal reception. It's constantly around -100-106 dbm. I downloaded an app that checks it every 1 minute and then produces the results in excel forumat. Other devices in my office (also on verizon) are getting much better reception
I went to the mall, and the Galaxy S5 there was around -80, while mine was -97. Obviously both Verizon. How is this possible, other than a faulty radio in my device?
I remember back in the day you could dial #228, but obviously with 4G you can not do that.
Should I return/exchange my phone?
I should add, if I power off the phone, take out the sim card, then reinsert it. The signal improves to like-84-88 dbm for awhile, then tapers off again to the -100s.
Will SOMEONE chime in their thoughts?
You can see in the circled area, if I do a restart, the signal is better for like 5-10 mins, then drops off again. I even tried to do all of these things in safe mode, same results.

Maybe you should check the signal power when you actually use your phone ( in a call) maybe is a power saving feature. Try to compare with other s5 in the same room. Could be a bad driver for modem. From my experience with Samsung it takes 2 or 3 updates to get all well.
