Lmao This is insane I've done 50 down before but man its slow I'm on the 10 mobile share plan and only used about 3GB. I used to use an AT&T demo line with unlimited everything for about 5 years and man that was much father than this (now I'm playing). ??

I'm on the 10 GB mobile share plan also. Maybe your signal is weak where you're at? Also i did mine pretty early in the morning so probably network traffic was low

To be getting those type of speeds what apn ate you using? Speeds are never that high in Houston.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk

I never touched the APN, just left it how it was out of the box:
I posted my very highest speed but Ive also gotten down to 16 mbps and everything in between.

My APN is untouched as well. Also on the 10gb mobile share, but I'm up in northern Virginia.
Never had data speeds this fast on my iPhone... Same network, same location. I think the Note 3 (usually) does a good job of maximizing data speeds!

Are you guys using build prop tweaks for data speeds or stock?

No tweaks here, I was bone stock when I hit 45 down. These are my more typical speeds at home, with 2-3 bars.
Edit: just noticed that that want even lte just now...Good h+ speeds nonetheless

+10. Why would you say unlimited 4g? Then it turns into hspa+ then 2gb of "unlimited data" then slow me down to 1G.? Wtf? I went to simple mobile after that.....then I went to sprint - where customer service is a plus. If your phone gets messed up you can go to a repair center to get it fixed n replaced. AND YOU GET REAL UNLIMITED 4G........DATA THROTTLE DOESNT EXIST IN SPRINT......#IMJustSaying

1/4 of your normal speed? your normal speed must be very sloooow.. when i get throttled, my speed gets reduced to 56kbps. my unthrottled speed averages from 5-7mbps. i solved getting throttled by changing my plan to 10gb data before being throttled. whats your data plan? maybe you need to raise it. btw, im with tmobile.
I went thru the same thing as a Sprint customer but I called n complained & they did some type of refreshing n viola I was gOod

LTE means nothing if coverage is low. Matter of fact, Wimax is theoretically proven to be faster than LTE. Don't know why people think LTE is so great.

NS4G WiMax speeds

I just found a spot near my local Publix where I was getting 3 and 4 bars of signal with WiMax, which I rarely ever see in my city.
I speed tested and was consistently getting 16-18mbps down and around 3mbps up.
I'm curious to see how that compares with what everyone else is getting on Sprint's 4g network.

Sprint's 4g is pretty good here in Cincinnati. I get about 6-7mbs down and 1 up at my apartment with one bar, but when I go outside I get about 10-12mbs down and 2 up with 3-4 bars.
Here is a screenshot. I wasn't on wifi, I was in the middle of a parking lot.
I wasn't getting 3mbps up here, but I have before.

mine has definitely improved within about the last two weeks, as well! I'm getting about 15-20% stronger signal and speed
Not only that, even 3G improved in my area.

This is good to hear. Hopefully Sprint is staying good on their word and largely improving their 3G this year.
Especially looking forward to the Galaxy Nexus and LTE, even though I'm not in one of the cities getting it first.

Not necessarily, wimax upload speeds were capped. No official word that it's been removed though or made higher above 1.5. Any of you claiming higher have a screenshot?

I am very surprised. I have to use GPRS at work because I don't get any 3G signal and its not fast at all
GPRS is not EDGE. For all intents and purposes, they might as well be since they're both sloooooooow. EDGE is defined as 2.5 G which is a marketing ploy to differentiate molasses in Miami (EDGE) and molasses in Alaska (GPRS).
I tried to listen to 48 kbps radio stream and it was not fast enough.. had to switch to 3g

Get an iPhone 2G. Just kidding. I know that Windows Mobile, webOS and the Androids I've had all have a "network selection" tab in cellular settings. Uncheck "automatic network selection" and wait for the phone to show you options. Usually you'll get an operator's 2G or 3G option and you select which one you want. Windows Phone (post-Mango) has an actual 3G toggle. Other than battery saving I can't understand why you'd want 2G. Data consumption remains the same, just slower. If you're looking to put your browser on a diet, just install Opera Mini and enjoy compressed data and faster browsing speeds.
