I have not had the high download speeds over the past few days. Have done a bunch of speed tests, downloads speeds take off when the speed test first begins, then seem settle right around 5500kbs. This is true in my house (suburb of Chicago), and downtown Chicago. I was consistently hitting between 8000 and 14000 before. Anyone else notice this?
Mine dropped also. In STL. Was seeing ~7-10 down, 30+ up. Am now seeing 2-3 down, 25 up. 4g (of course), 2 bars.
I'm still getting the same 30-40mbps down in Fort Worth.

Still getting 33+ Mbit download here in Dallas, but it seems like upload speeds are capped for me (speedtest quickly climbs to 5Mbit, but then just hovers at around 5.1Mbit). 3-4 bars.
Also, funkybside: Don't use the Speedtest.Net App. The upload speeds are incorrect. Just go directly to the site in your browser (might need to switch the useragent to "Desktop") and test it there.
Still strong for me all over DFW.
I extremely rarely get faster than 6-8Mbps outside of Philly. Even tried if downtown was better over the weekend, but was the same
increased network usage? / more customers per tower?
just got 13557kbps down in a northern chicago suburb in a basement office with 1 bar of reception. gotta love LTE vs. worthless WiMAX

Verizion is still doing upgrades and testing on the software. No caps here guys... Just Verizion doing testing on bad times. They have also said they do encounter issues and notices leaks on LTE in which requires users to call if noticing connection dropages. Just something I might tell you all. I get 15 MBs download and 3 Upload. I keep calling them when I notice connection issues and they fix it within a day.

Just ran a few tests now, in the office, near the edge of our LTE coverage here in metro atlanta.
10mbps down, 0.5 mbps up, pretty consistent in multiple tests.
Not bad at all given I'm nowhere near downtown atlanta, and it's more or less "peak hours" of usage. Thunderbolt adoption here has been pretty solid too, so I'm sure there's no shortage of LTE users in Atlanta.

I live In Arcadia, west of Pasadena, outdoors on 4G, I get around 6-8 Mbps routinely. Don't check 3G cause I never use it. Indoors I'm about 2-3 Mbps.
I work in Marina Del Ray (hows that for a commute), the 4G signal is so-so... around 5 Mbps.
Culver sucks as far as signal. on the 10 freeway between the 405 and all the way to USC its pretty weak.

Where I work in culver city I don't even get 4g. Nor on my commute or at home. If i go a couple blocks from any location I do. My 3g signal is pretty good everywhere if I'm outside. Inside can be ok to horrendous.
Im down here in San Diego and get consistently lower speeds than any that have been posted so for. And there is NO 4G at all.
I called Sprint and they are sending me a free airave in hopes that it will give me a better connection.
I cannot even talk on my phone at my home because the calls get dropped. I had two calls dropped WITH Sprint technical support on Friday.

287k down, 142k up. Central PA. But if I remember, NYC was @ the same. My 4G in NYC was like 9M down and 3M up? Cannot remember. My phone USUALLY flys as it is on 3G and I never really think about it.
It would be nice, I have never seen 3G speeds on any CDMA network in my area above 500k - including Verizon, I actually see better more consistent speeds with Sprint than VZW.
I have my doubts though, living in the sticks really does have advantages, but stuff like this sucks.
I just did the speed test and on 3g i got 2.34mbps down and .64 mbps up. Those are pretty standard numbers for me. I do have an airave at home so don' know if that is making a difference.

My bad, I did not have my glasses on. 2.8Md/1.4Mu (missed some zeros). All Networks are improving 3G (the currently majority of their base model phones) by using different forms of compression for greater speeds. Oh well..........
I lost 3g data connectivity entirely today. I have full bars like I usually do but can't get any data through.

My data connection is suddenly being very intermittent, too.
I'll try updating my PRL and Profile.... See if that helps at all.
My websurfing is flaky as heck, my Google Talk connection keeps going in and out (and taking a long time to re-login) and I can't seem to update the Android market.
I had just run the "supercharger v6" script, but that shouldn't affect my data connection.... right????
Well let's hope for the best. I'm getting full bars everywhere in Anaheim, CA and speed is constant. I just watched my first youtube video without a single hiccup on 3G

I have also noticed improvements in 3g speed from ohio to texas, been testing at points from columbus to dallas fort worth, have seen 2 meg speeds in fort worth and consistently higher speeds overall.
My guess is with the onset of the IPHONE on sprint, sprint has had to get their 3g act together as the IPHONE does not support LTE or WIMAX it is solely 3g so they cannot afford to continue to piss people off with poor 3g performance. I am now seeing the high speeds I used to see before the smartphones came along with my sanyo mm 9000.

3g in my house is usually ~1mb down / 700kb up or so..
Just did a test - 300kb down / 500kb up. This is in the suburbs of san francisco..
(I think we're feeling the iphone saturation..)
I used to get ~1mbps down but in the least three months I've only been getting 30-150 kbps down and 30 kbps up. Totally unusable.
I was one of the lucky ones that got vastly improved 3g a week ago. Now, not so much. Speeds are back to the way it used to be... I hope it only means they're still working on things here south of Chicago. Except, 4g speeds are suffering now too. 1mbps for 3g has gone down to 200kbps and 10mbps 4g is now 1mbps.
I too was experiencing extremely too good to be true speeds of about 1500-1800kbps here in upstate NY, and as of late i hang around 150kbps the way its been for the last 9 months. I am also constantly jumping from 3g, 1x to no data what so ever. I hope that just means they are still fixing the issue...
My slight speed increase went away as soon as the evening came and they were back to normal which is unuseable

Yeah, I've actually checked a few times throughout different times of the days. And I've also gotten 1x in areas i normally don't but with full bars of service. I really didn't notice the difference until today though with the exception of the random 1x service.
Still have improved speeds after the *mystery update* here.
Strange, i've been getting frequent 1x switchovers in houston texas.. I was peaking at 2.2 mbps on 3g
Here near Houston I am having wacky 3g speeds.. Blazing one moment and crawling the next.. Consistent 3g though.

Improved speeds went away for me too as far as I can tell. One thing I've noticed is 1x in areas I've never had issues in and its not just my phone either. My girlfriend's evo 4g shift (bone stock, still unrooted) is doing the same in the same areas.
4G perfect, standing still it drops to 1x then back to 3g and then eventually to 4g. The strange part is while this happens I have full signal.
So far this has happened in downtown Orlando, FL and over in Conway area (for you other Orlando XDA ppl)
It happens more indoors at my house (until the update, never hit 1x at my house) when signal goes down to 2-3 bars over the past 24hrs. It happened a lot Friday out in the open in an error that I've never dropped below 3G (and even then, very rarely).
Anyone else noticing this in the Orlando area? Sprint says there are no known network issues.
Got this bad boy earlier and im still getting adjusted to the screen size. Being my first AT&T 4G LTE device i wanted to put it through the paces. Did a **** load of speedtests and the mean is in the range of 8Mbps-10 and a few spikes above that. Being that this is a 4G LTE next generation network I'm a little disappointed there. My XYBOARD consistently gets over 15Mbps. Hell, my old HTC Amaze on T-Mobile even got ridiculous 15+ Mbps speeds on HSPA+. What's wrong with AT&T's network? No one is even on it yet.
I'm in SoCal, specifically the Long Beach area. I'm seeing other people get downright stupid speeds of 50+ Mbps. What's the difference between my area and yours? Is it possible that AT&T has done more work on certain areas than others? I really hope these speeds increase in the future. 8-10Mbps isn't much better than what I get on HSPA+.

That should be ATT's motto for their LTE service at those speeds with the caps.
Just felt like sharing this because I find this very odd. Where I live I get about 1.3mbps which I thought was pretty damn fast for sprints 3g but right now I'm on a road trip with some friends and we stopped in Walcott Iowa and while still connected to the Chicago server in the speedtest app (closest server to my house) I just pulled 2+ mbps multiple times in literally the middle of nowhere haha fastest 3g I've had on sprint

That's because 10,000 other phones weren't using speedtest at the same time. You were in the middle of nowhere!
Rural towers where probably no one has sprint always work good. Or in many places Sprints edge of their coverage ends but on the past 8 years the city has moved outwards. And sprints network has not expanded like the other carriers.So the citizens don't use sprint in that area.
