I have an ATT iPhone 4 and the Atrix. If I run a speedtest using the same server on the phones side by side the Atrix data speed is half that of the iPhone. Any clue why that would be?
I had an ip4. Besides the antenna issue (which was over blown) the iphone has a really good radio. Maybe that's it

No- it's because AT&T panders to its cash cow and gives the iphone more bandwidth. There are caps on the bandwidth for non-iphones...not long ago Atrix upload speeds were capped at 333 kb/s, it's been raised to 1800 or so, but there is still a cap.

Interesting. I've done several side by side speedtests, same server with iphone 3gs and the atrix download speeds were always higher (but similar magnitude) and the upload speeds for the Atrix blew the 3gs out of the water, not even a comparison.

I believe it's 1200kbps, but i regularly can't get over 600kbps upload with 85%+ signal strength anyway.

He is right. Chingy, for one, was offering one. But, my question is who is that concerned with removing throttling on a 30Mbps connection?

I get throttled during busy times, my data will be almost unusable around 5 pm yet my wives data still works just fine. I use about 8 gb a month and she only uses about 1.5-2 gb a month. Our 4g here is no where near 30 mbps, I get closer to 6-7 when its available (which isn't very often)

No 4g in my area yet, and here we have a monumental system overload so most of the time 3g is slower than dialup!

When i had gotten my Atrix 4G the data speeds where capped until we pressured att to uncap it since the iphone 4 was killing it network wise finally they did it. On my speed test on this i get about 3.5 n wiggle around there.... Iphone 4s has been getting like 10down... That's crazy check it out http://m.pocketnow.com/iphone/att-iphone-4s-data-speeds-are-impressive

I think the speeds are regional.
Are you getting 3 and someone standjng next to you on an iPhone 4s getting 10? I have never gotten faster than 3 on any phone I had. And that is the SGS II I am using now. The captivate in the same place averaged 1.8.
Edit: now that I read the article, they allude to the same thing. Speeds vary by region. I thought the SGS II was classed one class higher than the iPhone 4S. I wonder if anyone has done both phones side-by-side...

Hello, I just got a new evil 3d becuase of the dual core processor because I thought that the internet would be faster. Is there a configuration needed? With my 4 g my speeds are in the 400 and now with the 3d "dual core" processor I'm in the 200's
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
The processor has little to do with internet speeds. It helps, making things more responsive, but the signal effects the data speed. And the antenna on the 3D are at the bottom near where you'd hold the phone which could degrade the signal.
Is the phone faster than the 4G? Yes. Does that mean you'll get faster data? Not necessarily.

You'll return it in a week, once you see how slow 3g is with sprint.
IF your lucky, you might get 100k up / down, but typically, only 25k

This is dependant on location. I'm not doubting you are experiencing slow network speeds, but it's purely a matter of tower saturation, and your surroundings. I'm consistantly seeing downloads in the range of 1.0-1.7 mbs. Sometimes, at night, I can break 2.0 mbs, but that's because there isn't much activity. But, I'm in a major metropolitan area, with strong network coverage from the major 4 carriers. There was a blip for about 8 months where the speeds were really slow, but Sprint fixed the tower by my house, and now I'm back to normal.
And, to the OP, I didn't notice any difference in download speed between my Evo 4G, and Evo 3D.

exactly it all matters were u are with any network. ive been with sprint forever and ive always seen consistent 3g speeds in my hometown ranging from .8-1.7mbps recently ive moved from the east coast to the west coast and im still seeing great speeds but not the same around .5-1.0 which still works and i somehow managed to move from the best 4g city to another great 4g city haha always see speeds of 5-12mbps

The Airave doesn't provide 4G Signals. It does however provide 3G Data Connection which is usually faster than what you'd get from a Sprint Tower. Also Depends on your internet connection that you'd be hooking the Airave up to.
I just hooked up the airave and I went from 0.2 to 1.3 . It's bad assets. I recommend everybody call Sprint and get it. It's freeeeee.

My evo 4G is actually a lot better about picking up a 4G signal, but the speeds are about the same with both. The 3G and 4G antenna are still on top with the 3D but the wifi and Bluetooth are indeed on the bottom of the phone.
If you're not getting at least 600kbps on 3G call sprint and let them know. That's the minimum speed they advertise do usually they'll credit your account for it.

Ouch... I get good speeds aside from my ping. After the ICS update my ping went up into the mid-upper 100's and 200's from double digit ping times on GB.
T-Mo's 2G may be meh, but it's still better than AT&T's 2G network, or at least that's how it seemed when I had them.
Only smartphone I know handles tmo 3G well and doesn't seem slow on it is BlackBerry's.
