hi there,
i just bought g1 with tmobile in chicago,il so far i am getting just a little over 50KBites/sec download on 3g network. i am coming from htc fuze with att. anyone else see any problem in here??
Do you have full signal? If you brought the phone from T-Mobile you could always ask them what the problem is.
just find out something interesting ...
if you turn on airplane mode and then shut it off you data speed boooom to 235-175 KB/sec which is like a 3Mb/sec dsl speed at home !!! but after a little while it goes back to normal 50. looks like tmobile is throting the bandwidht
non resolved.
Hey People, this is a non resolved issue, the last note posted in not accurate. I have been noticing my internet speeds are about half of what they used to be. have been doing many FCC app speed tests and they are half of what I was getting about 2 months ago. Back then I was constantly clocking in 1.0 to 1.5 Mbps and now all over the board, but best one was at 843, and am regularly in the 400 to 200 range.
This has also been confirmed via the Speed Test app also, getting basically the same number.
Just for confirmation sake, when tethering, i would go to 2Wire.com and run speed check on my laptop, would get the same numbers as the two apps are getting, 1 to 1.5 mbps a couple of months ago, and now in the 400 to 200 range.
Currently have G1 and have been bouncing ROMs, but right now running cyan 5.0.7 test 3, radio is 2.22.23.2, recovery is RA's 1.6.2 and danger spl. Currently living in Denver, CO.
First, let be smart here and not bash the sites or apps used, but the consistancy of their usage and their results. It does reflect that my speeds are half of what they used to be.
Also another note, the download and upload speed are very close to being the same, within a range of 100 kbps. Now we all know that even on cell phones, that should not be the case.
And I start the posting after having tried the airplaine thing, tried to even reboot, went into adv. task manager, shut off all apps, and services and combinations of such with no significant gain in speeds.
Anyone still experienceing the slowed internet speed.
+1
I have been experiencing about the same thing pretty much following the same time frame. Currently living in the DC metro area so I should be experiencing HSPA speeds.
Its a problem with Cyanogen v5.0.7.
That's the reason I'm still using donut.
Anyone else notice slower data? I used to average 7.2mbps on my Vibrant, I even scored 10mbps on a G2.
Nexus S averages out at 4mbps.... Sometimes 2.5. Highest I've got it to was 5 on a lucky day. My GF has my old Vibrant and she is getting the same download speeds.
Don't know if I should be happy or sad Lol!
Anyone else notice speed slowing down in the last 6 months?

HSDPA or HSPA+ makes no difference in the end. Reason we get a performance boost from HSPA+ even though we dont support it is HSPA+ is all in the backend.
which means faster speeds for all. Imagine what the speeds would be without HSPA+
I realize this. But speeds have been slowing down lately.
We do get the boost from HSPA+ but what slows it down is the fact that T-Mobile is getting tons of new customers... The network may get clogged and we could have an AT&T disaster!

hm, i noticed this too, and also, theres at least 20+ people that i know that used to have ATT/Verizon that has jumped over to tmobile in the past month or 2.
I haven't noticed any noticeable difference in average network performance over the past seven months. I haven't been clocking it, though; just speaking from my personal sense of how quickly it was downloading.
Yes, I've definitely noticed a slow down in the past 60 days.
I used to get 3800 to 4400 Kb/s on my N1. Once I switched to the NS, I've never seen faster than about 3000 Kb/s. I posted in a different thread yesterday that I ran some tests with both the N1 and the NS (using the same sim card in both) and found that the N1 no longer goes over 3000 Kb/s.
Conclusion: the service has degraded around here.
But it just occurred to me that I had been "throttled" for being a data pig last November, and the throttling was supposed to last until mid-December. Here's the interesting part, even "throttled" my speeds only declined to about 2800 Kb/s; which means I'm still getting those speeds that I got while "throttled". I wonder if they forgot to "un-throttle" me.
I'll call customer service today and double check. I'll also complain about the drop in speeds.
Is it possible you're being throttled and missed the notification?
I'm in central Florida and can say there has been a big decrease in speed here in the past 3 months. I too came from a Vibrant that my wife now uses and can say the same as the OP.
I think its a mix of things. New customers on high data use handsets utilizing that advertised 4g speed. I also think it being winter time that people are staying inside and using their phones and devices more, much like how gas use in homes goes up in the winter time. There's less to do outside, etc, so you are connecting more through electronic means. Hopefully tmo continues to expand their back haul, and they will have to to achieve those even faster than 21mbps speeds. I think conversely that in the summer you will see your speeds come back.

Glad I'm not the only one! Let's hope it's just for the winter! Heh
Wouldn't winter help more? Since having wireless in the home? By your logic it would be worse in the summer because it's nicer weather and people travel more and need mobile data to facebook it up.
If you want to test if the service is slowing down due to many people, test it at least 4 times throughout the day with at least twice at night such as 1am and 3-4am, shouldn't be many people on then.
About 6 months ago I was on T-Mobile at which time I switched to Sprint for yearly updates and a supposedly cheaper plan. When those two things ended up not happening I switched back and I can say without a doubt that my speeds are faster. This could be due to the fact that I had a MT3G before and now have a NS or that when I was on Tmo before their HSPA network was not really available or it could be just that its faster. Either way I'm much happier as with Sprint I was topping out at 1.5mbps on 3G and now on Tmo I'm getting up to around 3.5 some times even closer to 4.
About 20 days ago I started experiencing data slowness. Before I was averaging 3.0-4.0 I called Tmobile multiply times to reset me with the towers. No luck. I have the nexus S and my girl has the vibrant. Now we can barely hit 1.0 its very frustrating I thought I was the only one but after googling and finding this thread I see Im not alone.
I have no complaints here in terms of TMOs speed. With the NS I get about 4-5mb consistently. When I was at best buy playing around with phone the MT4G hit 11mb down, although the average speed was closer to 9mb

What part of Los Angeles are you in?
It was 3.8 - 4.2 pretty consistently near the Van Nuys Airport for a while, but now it's never more than 3.0.

I'm in the Hollywood area.
It's area dependent.
Brooklyn
in 18th/68th, I get top speed (up to 9Mbps with N900), average 4-5
in home area (N train Bay Parkway), I also get top speed
in Bay Parkway/86th, the speed is slower (2-3Mbps)
in Downtown (Fulton/Jay, A/C/F/R train station), the speed is barely workable
Manhattan
in Lower Manhattan (both Canal Street and City Hall), the speed it up to 2Mbps
in Midtown (Empire State Building), the speed is much slower (no more than 1Mbps)
in Inwood (A train 207 Street), the speed is good (4-5Mbps)
The speed test was conducted with either MT4 or NS except stated.

Wouldn't the MT4G get higher speeds and skew the results since it can access HSPA+ while we can only rid the coattails of it? Since only the MT4G can access the HSPA+ (the G2 can do HSPA, I believe but it cannot do the higher speeds) wouldn't that mean that the number of devices slowing that network was significantly smaller and therefore the amount of throttling due to network bottleneck would be significantly lower. Therefore to make an accurate speed test you would have to use the same type of phone (or to be completely scientific, the same phone).

I've always said cell service is like real estate, it's all about location, location, location.
Your point doesn't address the real issue. Sure, in different parts of town with different devices that have different speeds abilities we're going to see different speedtest results. We'll even see different results depending on the time of day in some areas.
The issue is that those of us who were averaging some particular speed, using the same device, in the same location, at the same time-of-day are now seeing reduced speeds.
For me it's a 25% reduction, consistently, on two different devices...

It's as I feared. They're throttling non 4g devices so that the 4g devices get worlds faster. I used to max out at 7.2mbps on Vibrant. I wonder if the G2/MT4g still get 10mbps around here. Damn.
The Nexus S does get HSDPA and benefits from HSPA+. It should be maxing out at 7.2 if MT4g is getting over 7.2.
I mean. I am getting 3-5. Which is still awesome... But. I want my 7.2 back.
Today i decided too tether my laptop with my atrix sense were im at now has really bad internet, And i tested it with speed test and i got great results.
Couple times it went too 6.2mbps!! And was averaging 4.5 and 5s And pretty much it never went under 3mbps, upload is 1.26 too 1.4mbs.
Before the max i saw it hit was around 2.8mbps and went under 1mbps sometimes.
Did at&t uncap the speed or something?
I even tried some gaming call of duty black ops and it didn't lag once.
I'm getting slow WiFi speeds through my S7 Edge. I'll run speed tests through speedtest.net and get abysmal results. Sub 5 Mbps. The upload is higher most times. I ran the test through my laptop and getting really close to my advertised speeds which is 60/4. Anyone else having issues with this?
Sent from the S7 Edge of the world!
My S7E has great wifi speeds, the only issue I have since the last update is constant reconnecting with wifi and data radios. With the Facebook app being the worst.
Mine one time was slow like that also. Like 5mbs
So I just forgot the network in wifi settings and then re entered my password and reconnected, then tested again. They were back into the 80s and 90s
I tried that the other day too. Didn't do anything for me so I did a factory reset and started from scratch. Seems better now.

As far as m.b.p.s. on down and uploading speeds? Where I live inside my home I get 50-80 m.b.p.s. on downloading speeds and 10-30 m.b.p.s. on my uploading speeds with my T-Mobile samsung Galaxy s9 plus device.I was just wondering if you guys we're getting roughly the same speeds as I'm getting or if your are receiving aloe faster speeds than I'm getting. Thanks In advance!!!

Depends. On my carriers network (Freedom) my phone displays lte and I pulled 100Mbps down with 25Mbps up yesterday. Today, I was roaming on either Telus or Bell and my phone showed 4G instead of lte and I got a whopping 5Mbps down.
On Wifi, I can max my 350Mbps internet connection and my lan speeds are usually upwards of 800Mbps.
On my home wifi, i max out my bandwidth. 220Mbps down and 20Mbps(Virgin UK). Mobile data on 4G at home, 197Mbps down and 49Mbps up (EE UK). I do get slightly higher download and upload speeds sometimes whilst out and about in London. Had similar speeds on the Note 8 as well, so for me, nothing changed.
Hope this helps.

30 Mbps Download (Max 50 Mbps download) and 96 Mbps Upload on my Wi-Fi.. I dont know whats the issue with my wifi.. all my phones give similar speed (a bit less than s10+ though). Over ethernet I get around 70 to 80 Mbps download and 85 Mbps Upload. I'm on 100 Mbps plan.
My lte has been turd slow, like 30mbps no matter where I'm at. Verizon, anyone else having this issue?

Check the bandwith of the channel (20/40/80) and if you are using channel aggregation, your downstream channel is probably too crowded for your current settings
Topic:
240/20 (my plan) on wifi no issues,
Average of 60/15 on LTE, some locations are way less (10mbps) some others are way more (200mbps), but thats the normal stuff here
I found though that this is the best modem i've used (including phones and actual modems) regarding agreggation, my S8 drops aggregation faster, generally once it reaches 1 bar of signal (like indoors), while my S10+ just keeps going along, it generally drops it only once the signal is really poor
But because of that ,it is much more hesitant to drop to HSPA+, which is a technical problem per say, as here HSPA+ as really good coverage overall and its clean (constant 20mbps) due to everything moving to LTE.

Well, I tried everything possible for a possible increase in download speed but nothing worked. Everytime I did a test from Ookla it showed around 30 Mbps, but when I download something from PlayStore and Calculate the time using stopwatch, the speed comes out to be 83 Mbps Download.
I have 500MB/s at home and my S10 gets upwards of 350± . Newer ASUS router, 5GHz using Ookla Speed Test. It's a beast of a phone and Beasty bandwidth capabilities! Love it!
