How do I tell if my Telus Hero is on 3G?

Ok so I have it and it's on etc... but how do I know if it's on EDGE or 3G or what, what are the indicators suppose to look like?

If the indicator on the top is G or E (GPRS or EDGE), you are on 2G. If the indicator is 3G or H (3G or HSDPA/HSPA), you are on 3G. Speedwise, H>3G>E>G.

That's theoretical speed. With the congestion caused by iPhone traffic )) and other smartphones, particularly in built-up areas such as malls, H/3G isn't going to be much faster than Edge in many cases. AT&T are already trying to convince their iPhone users to cut back on data usage.

I'm assuming that was your high? What was average? Also how was your latency?

Average of 8675 and not sure about latency.

lucky people. In Richardson, Texas the most I pulled was between 5-6

When I was on the way to south Texas this weekend I pulled 8.9 down and 1.5 up. It was right off the highway 35. I was impressed and it was full 4g bars.

I pull between 8-10mbit all day long on my evo in Boston, MA.
Sprint is doing good things.

Where at downtown? (cross streets please)
I got 4G at Coors field a couple of months ago, but the signal was weak and I was only getting 2mbps.

I've been getting 4G along I-25 from Alameda going north, and have had it along Alameda to Wadsworth, 6th Ave to Kipling.
I don't know how far it runs north of 6th Ave, have not tried it.

wimax and new 3g speeds!

so since sunday 7-15(the launch date for lte in atlanta) i have been getting higher and higher 3g speeds! before the average was .05-.1 mbps absolutely terrible i know. Now i get on average .5 mbps just hit .82 a few seconds ago. I know these numbers are still very slow but it is a huge improvement!. Now for wimax! This has been kinda gradual increases nothing really to do with the lte launch but it seems maybe less ppl are using the wimax network and i have a high of 11.5 mbps! Thats pretty impressive for the red headed step child 4g. Anyways just thought i would share. cant post any screen shots yet..hopefully soon!

Yep. With lte can network vision upgrades to 3g also.

T-Mobile Refarm Has Hit! [My part of San Diego ;) ]

So excited to finally have HSPA+ on my RAZR i on T-Mobile in the US. Normally all we would get is Edge (2G) and I've been sick of getting 140 Kb/s down.
Now... I can use it as a normal device

My speeds are ranging from 4-9 Mb/s, which is normal on my T-Mobile HTC One S. Very happy

What area of San Diego are you in?

My area is between Del Cerro and San Carlos. If you looked on Google Maps where Lake Murray is, that is the tower I am connected to.

Very nice. I'm following AirPortal very closely, and new sites are popping up all the time in the Dallas area. I'm hoping they'll be completely done by the time I get back in December. I've put up with EDGE for a year (still better than Sprint's 3G), but I'm excited to get some HSPA love.

Yeah I'm in east lake and it just kicked in earlier earlier today

LG G3 T-Mobile 4G LTE speeds

The kicker is I'm on the $40 1 GB Simple Choice plan, supposedly capped at 8mbps! Needless to say very satisfied. What speeds are you guys getting? Is this normal? I have a friend who is getting only about 25mbps on Verizon's LTE, btw this is in New York City.

That is absolutely astonishing! I have the truly unlimited data plan through T-Mobile.
In Struthers, Ohio I got:
Ping: 42
DL: 14.69
UP: 1.34
I notice about 1.2-1.5 mbps when downloading from the Play Store though. Really wished I lived where you do!
