[Q] Bell Canada LTE speeds ? - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it just me or at the LTE speeds pretty slow ?
I'm getting 6.3Mbps down and about 3.8 up...
Seems slow to me ... my LTE icon shows up on the top.

Cant speak to bell (rogers here)but I just picked my N3 up today and hadnt run a speedtest till now. Sitting in my basement and got a few in the high 40s down and around 10 up...both are slow but not the best signal down here lol
But yeah yours are way off for sure..id be on the phone with bell if I were you.

Awesome I want this too.
Blimey!!
You guys in the US are so lucky, cant wait till LTE arrives in the UK
Nice. In Poland LTE working fast only in bigger cities.
.
Thread moved. Would advise you to read forum rules and post in correct section.
Failure to comply with forum rules will result in an infraction and/or ban depending on severity of rule break.
amazing!
low latency + high speed
You suck
The best I ever got with verizon LTE with 5 bars right next to a tower is 33mbs DL and 15UL. Yet with 3/5 bars you get 38/14. And I bet it never just drops too. oh why verizon WHY. With 3/5 bars on verizon I avg 8-15mbsDL and 2.5-11mbsUL, with the best being 24/15.
There are times were my H+ S2 can flat out beet my droid RAZR in youtube video loading and keeping it a flowing.
P.S I had no idea Poland had LTE. It's it any good?
NICE. That's a tad bit faster than my FiOs too.
I'm in Hawaii and we always get things last. LOL.

For the few seconds I had data on with my prepaid plan few minutes after I landed, it was pretty fast, then I had no money eft on my account to call lol.
I didn't check speeds, but it was pretty damn fast. But I was in the capitol at the airport, so it will always be faster lol. But even 3G is pretty fast back in Poland. America is way behind on mobile data.
@OP , Im in Harford, best I ever got was 8Dwn 1Up on HSPA+, wife has LG Nitro HD LTE, will have to give it a try. Was told by a Best Buy Mobile Rep we should be getting LTE any week now. 2 ATT customer service reps on the phone coulnd find a date, but said all LTE markets should be done in the next 2 months.
--in the meantime Im throttled to Edge speed for going over 3GB, I know theres an APN switch for 4G SIM Users, but I'll have to wait.
---GT-P6200 by the way. Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus (from Malaysia) HSPA+ and voce calling on Honecomb 3.2
awesome!! Faster than my dsl :/
wow! I wish I had these speeds!
faster than my H+ S2, My Droid razr on 4GLTE and my TWC ISP. I would have to add them all up to get what you get. LOL

You are not too behind, but still behind than some other places
Japan started using 3G in 1998, whereas the US started it in 2002. Also, check this out too: http://en.teknoblog.com/communicati...cell-3g-is-faster-than-4g-networks-in-us.html

I agree, and even though they say Turkcell has one of the fastest networks available worldwide, and Steve Wozniak's thoughts about the network, I can't really say that its that fast because I used the same network for 4 years. Maybe it was the phones I used, who knows?
Hi,
how about the ping? is the ping always constant 40-50? or also sometimes 100+ or 20?
thx

[Q] Best 3G Speeds?

I live in Australia and am on the Vodafone 3G/ HSPA network.
Just got this speed on my One X international version.
Anyone else getting speeds this high on 3G? Who needs 4G with almost 1MB/sec on 3G
Here's mine. It's supposed to be 2M/sec so I think thats good.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Well i've got mine set to Bytes not bits. In your units mine is 7.5 Mb/sec. I'm not complaining.....just thought it was pretty darn good.
Mine is 1 Mb/ sec
I changed the settings and got these results. 285,2kB/s down and 56kB/s up.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
anyone else want to chime in?>
I download file on the speed 350kb/s in 3.5G
My sister on Talk Mobile which runs off Vodafone, fastest I've ever seen on mobile networks here in the UK. I get similar on my Vodafone sim but she's got unlimited data.
These speeds are at home most places in London you'd be lucky to even get half of that.

The highest I've got was 3.61 up, and 1.1 down!
6640kbps downlink / 747kbps uplink
T-Mobile Hungary, Desire DHD, Absolution 3.7 ROM
Question
How do you get this values (downlink / uplink) ? Is there a good benchmark for mobile phones? My provider promised to me a maximum of 7,2 Mbit/s - I don't believe it!
Best regards

Slow hspa speeds on T-Mobile?

I got around 12 Mbps with my old s3 at work and I did a speed test with my n4 same spot and can only get maybe 6 Mbps what gives I thought this phone had the 42 Mbps radio??

Same here, my internet doesn't seem to be working like before. Sometimes it will work other times it won't.

Exactly.

it can be many different factors:
- location

Check about phone > status and make sure you are getting an hspa+ connection. Check it when the mobile network is active and data is transmitting because it will drop down to regular hspa while idle. Also, in order to get DC-HSPA (which is required for 42mbps) it has to be available in your area. Not a lot of markets have it yet.
I get anywhere from 15-22 Mbps here in NY and that's with the $30 plan.

24mbps in seattle area
This might not seem like much to you guys but I live in a rural area with no 4g and on my HTC sensation I got about 1mps
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I'm getting between 5Mbps to 10Mbps speeds with my Nexus 4 in Phoenix AZ.
Which is an improvement from my Galaxy Nexus that got 1Mbps to 3Mbps (yeah, that was HSPA+).
I'm on T-Mobile here in NYC and just received 19.5mb down and 1.6mb up.

I am getting hspa+:15 in the settings with speed test running in the background. What does that mean? 42mbps? Speed tests 6-7mbps at best with 1sec latency! Latency is worse than what I had on hspa 14 on the Samsung exhibit ii.
I am in Philadelphia. I thought we got hspa+ 42 a long while ago here. Although the network seems to always be congested here, often coming to a complete halt, forcing me to go to edge to send and receive emails.
[EDIT]: I think I was wrong on HSPA+ 42 being available in Philadelphia. We're still on 21. According to an article on android central we will get HSPA+ 42 on the 1900Mhz band here instead of 1700Mhz AWS. HSPA+ category 15, which is what the reading in the settings are showing, refers to HSPA+ 21 ... so no DC-HSPA here ... I hope the upgrades come soon, and take care of the congestion issues around the busy parts of the city during the day. It's stupid to have a smart phone that cannot even send an receive emails !
Here in Charlottesville, VA (where HSPA+ 42 is supposedly available), I am getting less than 512 kbps down with over 1000 ms ping. This was in an area that indicated HSPA+:15.
Did I get a phone with a bad radio? Or just a location thing?
This is consectutive tests on different servers further and further away (started with closest last is in south Dakota - pings suck but speeds are great)

You have a 3G icon... my Nexus 4 only shows H for HSPA. Are you on a custom ROM?
nope stock it switches back and fourth from 3 to H when I am not using the internet it is 3 I do something internet and H pops up.

I've never seen 3G pop up on my Nexus 4. Strange. Either way, I guess my terribly slow speeds are a result of being in Central VA.
it is to save battery life it sits on idle afaik on 3g until you call up 4g - there is a post on it on the qa forums.

N7100 On T-mobile

Now today my family and I was out for lunch and the restaurant that we went to happened to be in a T-mobile refarmed zone.
I was able to speed test a GSII which has AWS 42mbs and Note 2 side by side. GSII download speed got around 15mb/s and note 2had its speed around 10mb/s + so it was not bad at all.
I have only heard of T-mobile refarming but to see it actually work was quite impressive.
Wish all of ATT towers get unlocked for Tmobile users lol.

Damn messed up the title lol. If a mod could change that to LTE-A
So that is in PA
BAD ASS NOTE 4
Been hitting 60+ in sw Houston area. 80 max. But consistently 30+ easily the last few days. Used to be 15-30 maxing out out at 40.
Southeast Hou. Im at 13-14
Honolulu here. 34mb DL. 12MB UL.
I live in Anaheim California which is on the list but am only getting 28.33 Download & 3.50 Upload, no difference from what I was getting when the Note 4 first came out
i would think this would help more with consistent speeds vs everyone getting higher speeds. Im sure if you are connected to the wideband lte you would see higher speeds during non peak hrs but i can definitely tell the difference in peak hours vs non peak hrs in ABQ NM. Ive seen as low as less than 1mbps down due to congestion and no, i wasnt throttled. Around 11pm, my speeds would jump up. It basically forced me to use my wifi at home due to such low speeds. Hopefully the wideband increase will help clear up congestion as the faster people load/download their data...the faster they can get through the pipeline allowing for a smoother flow. Considering youtube would stop qrtr way through the video due to buffering... i would hope this would fix some of those types of issues.
How do we know we are using LTA? Do you get a symbol on the phone? If so what does it look like? Screenshot maybe?

This is what I'd like to know as well. According to "LTE Discovery" I'm on Band 4 right now. The linked page shows that my city should be LTE-A active. My speeds haven't changed even a little. Mid-teens down, a handful up.
I was in Boston last week and was getting 70 mb down and 26 mb up.

In Indianapolis, lte has stopped yesterday morning. Maybe they are updating our network. Can't wait.
The highest i got in Queens NY was 67/22 and 50/23 in Long Island.

Just type *#0011# in the dialer. When it is conection to band 12 you are on wideband.

Do you have to update modems or something to get it? I've been rooted since new and never took any of the updates.
I haven't seen anything other than band 4 locally.
This is the best I've done in town, but only the downtown area gets 4 bars. I'm usually 2 or less around most of the town.. This is versus what I typically get around my house.
When you go into the service menu by dialing *#0011# on the first line you will see Band 4 BW: 15MHz. When you have a connection of 15, or 20MHz you are using wide band lte.

This is correct. This is like a 4 lane highway instead of a single lane. This also includes the lowband spectrum 700mhz it baught from Verizon which is band 12. Band 12 is what travels far and through buildings. You might even get signal in an elevator because of it.
