EDIT
----
I am going to be testing each and every baseband this week using speedtests from the Mobile Speedtest app, and mobilespeedtest.com. with and w/o the 3g enhance buildprops. I will test these at 3 locations. My home, home work, and wherever I seem to be alot, to see how results change.
so far.
H, 2/5 bars
Location A Atlanta GA
.55a

I am using AT&T, and live not to far from Atlanta.
Originally I bought my phone using only baseband .49, then eventually .52, then stayed on .54 for quite a while. They all seemed to be quite the same, I don't recall when it was x10a or i, but one of them was an x10i baseband, and I always had great service. Even when I was in 2GAtlanta.
For the past week and a half I have had strange issues. Such as being able to call anyone except family members on the same plan, and them not being able to call me. I blame ATT for this. Then J's CM& crashed on me with bb .54, so I spent a day trying to try a new rom and basebands, and the whole day I got bars or no bars. No E, 3G, or H. I am very use to seeing an H, never 3g, and only E when I power control it off.
I reflashed .54a, and went back to wolf's rom, and had problems finding ATT and 3g H service. Eventually I learned to crash sys server, and that night after rexrecoery installing Wolfs rom step by step, i finally got a E, and later that night a few H's, but mostly E's in places I remember getting H speed at. I sat around unable to download apps or browse in the web at the speeds I normally would in those spots.
So i flashed .58, and everything seemed to barely change. More H, but never in my neighborhood, but I read bad reviews, so i wanted to try .55a. So I am on 55A, and now doing speedtests, that are either really high or really low, and I would be sitting in the same spot.
So here are the differences
X10I
GSM850, GSM900, GSM1800, GSM1900, UMTS900, UMTS1700, UMTS2100 HSDPA 7.2 Mbit
X10A
GSM850, GSM900, GSM1800, GSM1900, UMTS800, UMTS850, UMTS1900, UMTS2100
HSDPA 10.2 Mbit
According to my research. Most towers and broadcasters in the U.S. and ATT rely on x10a. I've seen people ask if 3g will work on x10i bb on ATT. As far as i know E and H, do, i'm sure ive seen a 3g pop up.
So I want to collect some answers and information.
1. Should I stay with a x10a baseband as a ATT user in the U.S. If so, what is the preffered baseband to use at the moment
2. What are other ATT users using, and what kind of speed are you getting.
3. Is there a better build.prop setting than what is in the enhanced 3g thread?
1. from what your post says, its recommended but sometimes BB from the X10i works better, it just depends on the ROM and what BB you flash, like me i run .54i and it seems fine but....
2. currently running .54i on Wolfs CM ROM 4.5.7 and i've had some stability issues with internet while tethering on 3G, but i get full bars 100% of the time, i get about 3-4mbps of download speed and upload is 1.5mbps on speedtest
i recently dropped .58i because it shot my battery down like nothing but i had similar download results to .54i but i had no issues, it was stable 100% when i tether
3. as far as i know, no
and to help with your 3G issue, H is basically 3G but faster, if not its probably a replaced icon for 3G, been knowing this since Windows Mobile days

I assumed as Much about H. Seemed to be an international code not seen on stock US phones. Ill try .54i. ty
just keep in mind, .54i you might experience some internet issues unless thats me(due to the heavy rain the day before) if that doesnt work for you i suggest going to .55a or .54a, let me know because im planning on flashing a differen BB sometime tonight, preferably .55a
im on .55a, er was. just flashed .54i, seems to be a little fast. nothign too noticable. what are ways to test this besides speedtest.net?
i might go ahead and flash each one and see which gives me the better stats
you can try http://mobilespeedtest.com on your browser
and i recommend spending at least a full day or two on each baseband to see how it goes for you
and i just flashed .55a and its now stable for tethering and internet performance seems to be a bit better but it might be a placebo effect,and i dont know about battery though, ill report back tomorrow or the day after
I guess i'll report all the information from here to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=976872
and begin testing every baseband this week whenever i go to work. I actually did multiple speedtests on my way to work where I know I deal with 2G, 3G and 3.5G
fair enough
will be doing test on my own as well
i looked at the thread you provided and it seems .54a seems to be the best, but thats from his test, and also location varies as well, so results might be different for you, compare to his and also some mentioned that Wolfs CM ROM could have 3g problems as well
although i will flash to .54a and test all day tomorrow and next day and back to .55a

.55 seems to be doing a lot better now, got a DL rate of 4000 outside.
I'm not to sure if Wolfs rom has a confirmed 3g problem, it does have a problem connecting/and finding network operator services. I hope he says something about it, because it was working fine on 4.3
Oh well. I just figured if i repeat the same routine and run tests in the same spots at the right time, day weather, and everything thing else exactly the same, results will start to make sense? I think I confused myself
Hello all I just flashed to 2.3.4 after unlocking my bootloader. Im getting like 3 bars, usually 4 or 5. When i do speed tests on my 3G connection Im getting like 54KB/s normally its 200. Also another strange thing is that instead of saying H+ the data connection type says 3G. Is the 2.3.4 update compatible with HSPA+ or what? Is anyone else having the same issue and if so have you found any solutions? Thanks in advanced!
I am not seeing the same issue with speed however the H+ icon is not loaded in this build (image files) and even though it says 3G it's infact using HSPA+ if available in your area - I am seeing 700+ down / 300up with 2.3.4 after flash (Non-HSPA+ area)
Thanks I moved about 12 feet from my desk and I was pulling fasted download speeds lol anyway cant wait for the official release 2.3.4 is really nice!
Hey,
I'm running CM7 on a lg p509, and everything is perfect, just a small question. My upload rate when connected by hsdpa seems to be limited to 0.13MB/s, while download is fine , always above 1MB. Is there something with the radio, different phone version (p509 instead of p500)? I'm sure its something to do with my phone since I just tried my friends on the same network and his upload was higher. I don't think I ever flashed a new band, so its still on original radio. Just new rom, and on mobilicity in canada.
thanks for any help

HSDPA is for high speed downloading while for high speed uploading,u need HSUPA which our phone doesnt have.This is the reason why uploading speed is less.
Our phone does'nt support
HSUPA-high speed uplink packet access
(responsible for high speed data upload)
Our phone only support
HSDPA - high speed downlink access

wow thats kinda weird. It doesnt really matter to me since I barely upload anything, but even my brothers crappy motorola spice has hsupa.
Just wondering if any of you have achieved reasonable data speeds on HSPA with ICS. On a stock rom i have under 100 ping and get anywhere from 3-8 mb/s down but with the att ics got 1-2 mb/s with 2-300+ ping. I also tested out a few other modems the only one that was decent was an ics telus modem I found in a tmo thread on here. I got similar results to stock for about a minute then I would lose connection. Any thoughts or advice would be great
Flash any ics rom and then reflash stock gb radio. In baseband it will say unknown but should still function with ics leak.

previously tried that but lost connection and thought it didn't work, i'm going to try again now
edit: wasn't working at first flicked airplane mode on and off now it's working
ICS rom
What ICS rom are you guys running?
I got the Note yesterday and want to flash but am unsure what rom to use.
Thanks
I tired that method like a hundred times. It doesnt work with any gingerbread modem.
Bell Vancouver here
40 Mbps down / 25 Mbps up - LTE - Stock GB/Noteworthy ICS
12-14 Mbps down / 3-4 Mbps up - HSPA - Stock GB/Noteworthy ICS
All other ICS roms I've tried are in and around the same at HSPA. I've only encountered speed issues with DAGr8's Alpha II at LTE speeds, which is a know issue.
I got the same speeds but had problems with the radio turning off and very high ping
