That is ridiculous! That's better than LTE in most cities. Is that consistent?

Yes. I've tested multiple times today. I've also tested it in various parts of the city the last few days. It's always above 10mbps. Most of the time it's above 15.
Edit: More results after mine that's even faster. Nice work T-mobile.

Wow. Mine sucks.

Well, it is interesting to see since the S III is the first phone available on all 4 carriers that includes LTE and 42mbps HSPA+ on T-mobile. At least as far as I know.

T-Mobile FTW

Us Sprint folks are too embarrassed to post on this thread. Unless you want my WiFi speed that is

I got from the low 13Mbps to 28Mbps inside my house. This must be the thing of future for Internet connection... not very consistent at all. At least when I used my Captivate with HSPA+, I consistently got 2Mbps

This is actually a usefull thread I'll be getting my GS3 tomorrow but on my one s get from 8-16 mbps leaving sprint till LTE comes alive and hopefully is good in Las Vegas

They also use other bands that iPhones and unlocked devices can pick 3G on. I'm in an area that supports it now.

those guys are rip offs, charging $800 i'd rather get the c6603 from handtec for about $670. Plus someone said that there will be a c6606.

They're not rip offs. That's the standard price. Handtec's version isn't useful in the U.S. just fyi. What is the c6606 supposed to be for??

you could use the uk xperia z with 3g on att in some places.
the c6606 is supposed to be US version of the xperia z it will have the same radios as xperia zl C6506 (/showthread.php?t=2130466)

So long as you live in areas where att has the 1900 bands available you would be fine with the c6603 right?

I'm gonna get the c6602 because it's compatible with my current carrier's 3G (HSPA+).

Great, let me know which model you end up getting and how that goes. I'm going to get the HSPA+ model and used it in T-Mobile's refarmed network. Have you been using its refarmed network since it launched? I'm just worried about streaming my music from Google Music on my Z and being able to tether it to a Macbook Air.

The c6602 IS HSPA+ according to the Sony Documentation. My current phone is only 2G compatible so I'm getting nothing good lol

Best 4G network in London?

I'm stuck between choosing EE or Vodafone for 4G for use with my Samsung Galaxy Note III. All I'm really concerned with is 4G availability (I have checked my post code and both are available there) and 4G speed in London.
With those who understand mobile spectrum and are aware of which 4G spectrum each network bought, which 4G network would you advise for an urban city like London?
Thanks.
P.S - O2 didn't buy any of the 2.6 GHz band, which is the reason why I'm not considering them for use in London.

Using O2 in Leeds and it is quite simply superb. Even in our village 7 miles out of town.

Is 4G draining your battery more rapidly than say using 3G?

But hold on doesn't Vodafone use the old 2g bandwidth and therefore have better building penetration than EE?

That is correct. They bought a large chunk of the 800 Mhz spectrum which has the best building penetration out of all three of spectrums on sale (800 Mhz, 1800 Mhz and 2.6 Ghz spectrum).

Post Your LTE Speeds!

I'm curious to what speeds you guys are getting with your moto x! Here is mines from San Diego

Fastest I've got. VZW Western North Carolina

The top two speeds are in Atlanta. The others are scattered in various places around the US, as I travel for a living.

I guess Verizon updated the towers here in West Hollywood near Beverly Hills.
The stupid thing is that the speeds are useless for YouTube because I can't play an HD video without it pausing. We're already feeling the effects of the death of net neutrality.
To prove that I connected to my friend's Wifi and it loaded and fully buffered in less than a second. So, it's useless having those 4G speeds.

Hmm...I'm pretty much right there as well and my LTE has been slow as heck.

Got 63 Mbps at 4-5 bars, but only 14 with 1 bar.
This was in Toronto on Bell.

Here's mine.

This was a week or so ago when i still had my iPhone. Just switched on the mother's day sale and haven't run a test since then. This is in NW Louisiana.

T-Mobile Xperia Z3 (D6616) - Band 12 Enabled in May 2015!!

Sony Xperia® Z3 - Software update coming May 2015 to enable LTE Band 12 700mhz!
http://www.t-mobile.com/optional-services/coverage-phones-700.html
w00t!!!

Very cool. I wonder what the max speed will be.
Typed on my Xperia Z3 while underwater.

I hope its a small update just for the band and not the full Lollipop delayed till May!

Root would be more exciting.

I have 50/15 Mbps now with Z3. How much more would it go?

It's not meant to speed up, it's meant to give better indoor coverage. Low Mhz bands like 700Mhz are good for that.
Another good side effect of better indoor coverage is better battery life.

I have once 82 Mbps DL in Seattle even in last year.
