Ok. I know this depends on the area you're in, and has already been talked about, but I would like to get an idea if this problem is widespread and/or a hardware related issue. My 3D NEVER reaches even 2 mbps, even in different cities. With full bars. Anybody else? Share stories/experiences.

I've gone from 200k-300k to upwards of 1.5mb the past few weeks, which I haven't seen in a long time. On wimax I use to be able to get upwards of 4-8mb but haven't checked in awhile.

I get 2mb usually or less. I've gotten 6 mb but its rare and never when I need. It. I've noticed longer ping equals more speed. 3g is 200 kb. Overall I'm not happy especially having to constantly reconnect to 4g.

I range anywhere from 1-8 megs here in Jax, Fl. Usually stay right around 3 megs for the most part tho. Hardly ever 3 bars, just 2.

In SoCal where the signal is probably the best in the country.
Usually 5-8 M but I have been tethered and downloaded at 1100kpbs and have speedtested at 10M but those are the rare times.
BTW, I have a Airave sitting here NIB that hasn't even been taken out for pics
I scored it when I had a Evo4g that had a smoked radio and consistantly had zero bars...that's how I ended up with the 3devo (hey I like that, 3devo ).
Airave for the lulz
im on vacation trip here in providence, im getting constants 6mb/1.3mb, i have gotten 10.3 mbps, full bars...

Any of you guys had another 4G device before this? Were the speeds better or same?
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
I had Tmo and a hspa Samsung Galaxy S.
I got a very consistant 6-7 Mbit, rarely fluctuated.
It was just a all around more stable signal.
Sprint is buggy....signal strength is all over the place.
im in Madison TN and my phone ranges from 1 to 2 bars on wimax and 3 bars full if I go outside.
My speed range from average 4megs down - 9megs down if I keep doing speed test like 3 or 4 times.
My lil bro has a Nexus 4G his gets about 3 megs down always. There suppose to push a update to his phone to fix his wimax speed on the Nexus 4G
My Girlfriend has my older Epic 4G her phone gets about the same speeds as my Evo 3D
up speed always max out at 1.5 megs.
Ping range from 100-150ms
Hello fellas,
My 3g speeds are slow can you post your data speeds please i might have to call att to get the "4g" speed
Fixed I wasnt on the "4g" plan now im getting 3 and up on the DL

Well, I normally get about 3-8mbps down and up to 1-2up. But the server is about 30 miles from me. That's with about 2-3 bars.
Well thats good im getting 1.8 down and 1.9 up 7km away from the sever at full bars
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA Premium App
I'm at 100k down, 50k up in '4G'. It really depends on where you are and how many ppl are using the same tower at the same time.
DO NOT USE THE SPEEDTEST APP!! I was going crazy trying to figure out why I kept getting the same speeds as my Iphone 4 no matter the location or signal strength. Turns out that when I went directly to the speakeasy speedtest from the browser I got 11.51Mbps down and 1.06Mbps up!
(will upload pic of my results when i get more than 8 posts )
My guess is that the phone throttles the speeds for non intensive internet apps and it accidentally throttles speedtest. Nevertheless the only thing that was bugging me about this phone is fixed!
Yep you're right just got 10.78 down and 1.28 up

Good find. Same results as you!
Thanks!

i'm guessing this assumes that you live in one of the cities that the speakeasy browser test lets you select from...
i live in st. louis, so the closest city i could select was chicago - same results as the app for me.
Still getting 2.8-3.0/1 going this route. Exact same as the app for me.

I know I could feel better download speeds from actually using this device compared to kg ip4 and this just confirmed it. Thank you for the heads up.

Same here. Chicago was actually slower for me than the speedtest app. I always get the best results from overland park,KS.

Speed test app gave me 2.5 down about 0.8 up.
Ran a test on speakeasy as well as sprints speed test site and got
7.65 down 1.25 up on both

Those not getting the faster speeds try to pick a different server. I sometimes get better speeds from the san francisco server than the local LA server. Also, from home, I get 2-3 bars and never get over 3.5 Mbps so keep in mind that the tower youre connected to might not be upgraded for faux 4g or your signal might be weak.
When I run Speedtest on my Verizon 4G Xoom, it's showing 25-30 down.

When I run Speedtest on my gaming PC with Comcast Extreme I get 85GB down. What's your point?
Im on fiber here Im guessing I shouldnt say what Im getting
on H+ on att here in NYC, Jercity city and when taking Amtrak to Wilmington De, I am constantly getting 287k DOWN and 345k UP.. sucks!!!!!!!!!!
But, much better than my iphone on 3G.
Speedtest app gave me speeds of 2-3.5mb down and 1-1.3 up. Speakeasy speed test site now gives me 8.89mb down and 1.09 up. Very nice!
Using speakeasy, I got much better results. When the bandwidth is there, I'm able to get 7Mbps down, where as with the speed test app, I was having a hard time getting over 3Mbps.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
I think it's Speakeasy or something. I get 11.5mbps download, and 3.5mbps upload on 4G from Speakeasy, but from Speedtest I get around 3.5mbps download, and 1.5mbps upload.
From my computer on wifi, using speedtest.net I get around 7mbps download, and around 4mbps upload. But using Speakeasy, it jumps to 11.5mbps download and 3.75mbps upload.
So, I think it's just that Speakeasy somehow boosts it up?
All I'm saying is that it's not a problem throttling the bandwidth of SpeedTest.
EDIT: Nevermind, I forgot to turn Wi-Fi off on my phone . Sorry, noob error. Using Speakeasy I get 1Mbps download, and .9Mbps upload...
Getting 3mbps on GS2 while my girlfriend's Atrix 2 gets 6mbps. Tried speedtest app, speak easy, Sprint's network test. Wtf? Maybe I got the wrong phone.
Myself, being in between 2 LTE cities, Raleigh and Charlotte NC, I'm from Greensboro am stuck with hspa+...how ever running a test it seems like we are like the Atrix, seems that hsupa is disabled!!!! I'm am only getting .3/.4 mbps upload like when I first first got the Atrix. After the update I was getting over 1 mbps upload..... Any idea if maybe the other radios will enable hsupa on those unfortunate of not having LTE for the time being?

At my work I average about 10-12mb download on HSPA+ and about 1mb generally. I'm pretty sure 1mb up for HSPA+ is the fastest you should get.

It wasn't unusual to see 7mb down and 3mb up on the atrix, tho I usually averaged 3mb down and 1-1.5mb up

About 3-10 down and 1-2 up for me.

Honestly, I wouldn't care if I don't get LTE speed if they just give me a SOLID HSPA+ speed or even a solid 3G speed.
I am lucky if I can get 1mb for download.
I'm at 7 / 1
Thankfully the wifi at school aint bad: 30 / 12
I live in an LTE area so I had to make a phone call then run the speed test really quick before it could switch back to LTE. I got 6.87↓ 0.83↑, not exactly phenomenal results but definitely faster upload speed than hspa.
i live in chantilly va.
at work 50 down 15 up
at home 2 down 1 up, only 5 miles away from work.
Coming from an iphone and getting 1down 1up on 3g, I'm very happy with the 8 down and 2 up on HSPA+. Sure I wish I was in an LTE area but that will do for now. The shocking part is I'm in a rather small mountain town in Colorado.
I'm getting .31 down and. 1 up and it says 4g. My phones like jacked up

Where are you located if you dont mind me asking?
Do you know if network vision has rolled out to you yet?
Just got 2400 in North Dallass (Plano) but at 5 am so..
I got 1.8 megs down last night 3G near down town Dallas around 10pm.
This was in the suburbs of Chicago. Network vision is apparently live here
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA
Very impressive! I can be quite patient with the LTE rollout if 3G speeds are that good.
Which suburb? I'm near niles/glenview.
Hopefully this will shut up the damn pessimistic low-data-speeds n00bies about Sprint's network never amounting to anything...
wait... who am I kidding
Mine varies a lot, even in the same location. Right now I am pulling around 500 kbps down and 100 kbps up each test,
Five minutes ago I was getting to 1.2 - 1.5 mbps down, 200 - 250 kbps up
must have hit one of those pockets earlier....

I'm still getting miserable speeds in central Minnesota.
im in south florida, a huge market, and sometimes in the middle of the day i cant get more than .15 kbps. absolutely atrocious. saw pictures of NV towers starting to pop up in south Miami.
In Philly with my OG Evo yesterday I was getting 1.7 mbps down, ~1 mpbs up on 3G. Activated my LTEVO today and was getting between 20 kpbs - 150 kbps down and 200-500 kbps up for a few hours. Pathetic. I couldn't load Google Maps or anything. Called Sprint to report it and got cut off during the call (never had time to call back). They said they were about to send an update to my phone. Guess that didn't happen. I'm getting around 500-600 kpbs down now, still 1/3rd the speed of 3G on my OG Evo.
Maybe I should have held off the upgrade...
With a 90ms ping I tried wireless tethering and was able to play games perfectly fine. Btw I'm in Naperville
this is right next to my new totally awesome Airrave :banghead:
