Can someone in the Seattle (WA) area help me with some AT&T data info
What is your download speed??
What is your upload speed??
What data plan do you have (dumbphone, grandfathered 3G, Same data as the Infuse)??
Thank you
Im not from Seattle (WA), California (SF), thought you might like some observation of ATT network.
Im on grandfathered 3G .
The best i have gotten was in the picture below , usually its around 3000kbps when network gets congested as low as 1500kbps, ping is usually around 140ms. Also depending on what server you connect for testing SF server never gets higher then 3000kbps . So in practice your speed could be all over the place regardless what others get highest upload i got was around 2000kbps

I travel all over the country and get between 2-8MB down and 1-1.5MB up. I live in a non-4G city and have even pulled 3MB down. I came from T-Mobile and interestingly, even though AT&T pulls lower numbers on Speed Test, my downloads and streaming speeds are equal to or better than T-Mobile's. I get less stutter in video for example on AT&T 3G than I did on T-Mobile 4G with 8MB down. I'm on a new unlimited data for Non-Smartphones plan I set up when I got the SGS2.

Thanks for the info, so I should be able to get between 3-8mb/1-2mb. Those speeds are good enough for me. Gonna order my new toy NOW!!
I currently get up to 11mb/3mb at T-mobile on my HD2 running android rom
I'll post what kind of speeds I get here in Seattle in the next few days

Just tested this. I peak at over 2mb upload

What about 3G?

That really isn't that good bro....
Sure you hit just under 10 Mbit ONCE (change speedtest in settings to Mbit, not kbps) but there is ZERO repeatability, most of what you show is 3-4Mbit.
I've actually downloaded a file while tethered and got just over 1.1Mbit download speed (about 1300kbps) and it held that speed for the entire 2 gig d/l.
Umm, it was a linux iso.....yea, that's it.
Remember, there is bits and bytes and a k is 1024, not 1000 and stuff....
My Evo 4g and my Evo3d both did about the same speed and my Tmo Vibrant would run at 7-8 Mbit and NEVER fluctuate from that.
I do agree that the radios are much improved over my EVO OG
I can connect to 4g at my house where the clearwire maps show coverage but my evo or my wifes epic could never connect
My data streams are much more consistent as well.
I am hitting those speeds pretty much every time I speed test at that location- and sometimes faster.
Signal strength is generally improved as well and with the latest update I am a believer in the better wifi signal too
Wimax is really a joke. I mean its better than nothing but still, my friend from Finland got to try out an upcoming wireless carrier. He downloaded off their LTE network for 49 megabits per second. THAT IS FASTER THAN MY CABLE CONNECTION!
I don't think our radios really have an effect on the download speeds, I believe that for now, that what you are seeing is the limitation of our bandwidth.
Lol wimax is not a joke you seem to think the speed of the layer 2 wireless link between the phone and tower is the slow leg
Ever think it the carrier internet pipe an traffic

yeah, here in houston tx im getting 8.5Mbps on 4G and just over 2Mbps on 3G. Im very happy finally seeing the 6-10MBps mark for the 4G. on my EVO, i never used the 4g bc it was a batt killer, slow to connect, and didnt give much more speed. max i ever saw with my EVO was 4-5Mbps in the same location im seeing 8.5 on the Photon. def a great phone!
Its about time sprint offered a worldwide android phone, and ever better yet, its a MOTO. Ive wanted a moto for 10 years now. always used and loved the durability of the MOTO phones with nextel. they can take a beating in the field. Plus MOTO has been in realations with android since the beginning and they got their stuff down. I
Ill fight with any bugs on this phone and super excited to see what the DEVs are able to do with the code. there will and is faster fonest out, but more speed will chew more power. I think with this cpu, and battery life, GSM and CDMA radios, this phone has a LOOONG life and a long way to go. i hope she grows more interest to people and stays around for a long time. so far, im a happy MOPHO user
Im looking forward to traveling. last two months i spent alot of time in japan and Malaysia. def looking forward to buyin a SIM card, slappin it in and having good cell signal instead of climbing a 20+ story building to catch a faint cdma signal from who knows where lol

My point was not showing consistent dl. I mentioned upload. The cap is at 1500 yet this photon burst thru that.
And anyone would know how consistent cell network can be hour to hour..
I actually live in a great 4g city and I get speed higher than most claim. And consistently. & check out that ping too

So I just finished flashing the True Connection mod from UnNamed and noticed I am on 3g.
Yesterday I noticed when I was a few cities up north from my area my signal bar turned green, does that mean it was actually H+ or I just had really good connection?

I never had it shown green and drove mostly all over south Florida except one area in Dania Beach so I was rather confused if it was bad or good till I Googled it.
My speeds are great and I really don't need them faster, its twice as fast as my iPhone 3gs, when downloading files its around 600kb/s which is plenty fast.
Wifi Tethering:
Right now its bouncing between H+ and 3g depending where I am in the house.
So I am a little confused...
Im curious...what did you expect from the true connection mod?

Well I didn't know what it was till I read this:
Simba501 said:
By default, the status bar shows HSPA (H) as the connection even if UMTS (3G) is active. HSPA is only in use when data is actually being used. In idle, it goes back to UMTS (3G). The addon will show this if you flash it. In areas where there is only UMTS (3G), this will be indicated by the addon as well. AT&T defaults to showing HSPA for everything because they want to pull the wool over their users' eyes, and make them believe they have HSPA everywhere they go.

I just don't get how the signal and speeds relate.
I would think a good connection would get you the best speeds but maybe I am missing a whole lot more stuff that I don't understand.

Hey LilChris06, are you the mod from OCN?
On topic:
Samsung's default setting is to give you the H+ symbol at all times, even though you may be connected to 4g or 3g. The "true connection mod" you flashed just changes the symbol to show you what you really are on, as the quote states.
As for your question, there are more complications to it, but generally yes, good connection does mean good speeds.
So you got 3G = UMTS
and the H = HSDPA, which in laymens would a "3.5G" in relation to 3G
H+ is an upgraded version of HSDPA, which occurred in 2008.

To start, I live in Boston, MA.
When I first got my Evo 4G LTE, it was getting about 1300~1500 kbps download and 700 kbps upload and 100 ms ping. The earliest tests in my Speedtest app show pretty commendable speeds.
Then, hmmm, about a week later those speeds have completely disappeared. Download is average about 90 to 120 kbps, and upload 100 kbps, about 750 to 1500 ms ping -- and these are tests performed at non-peak times such as 4AM. This has been consistent for about the last 10+ tests with different servers and locations around my local area in the city. Just to be sure, I also ran tests on my Wi-Fi connection, and the phone tested at my full 25Mb/s down / 3.5 Mb/s up cable internet.
My Evo is unlocked, and running the Charmeleon rom. I'm wondering if anyone else here has had a similar screeching halt to their wireless speed, either running stock Sense or a custom ROM. I'm wondering if the rom I'm using is capable of causing such slowdowns? Hmmm.
Before I try perhaps going back to the stock rom, any possible little tips would be appreciated! I'm getting sick of waiting 3, even 4 minutes for a very simple page to load in the browser.
Try updating your PRL. Then update your profile.
That usually gives me a bump up for a few days.

Mine fluctuates, the top three I took a few minutes apart. I also get a lot of random network not connected type errors.

Happened to me as we.l when I barely got the phone great speeds went to Mexico for vacations and came back and we back to sucky speeds, sometimes I do get good enough to watch YouTube tho, and my wife notice it as well, so our contracts our not over to late 2013, so I might end up seeking her iPhone and my evo and should be enough for etf, but I really like this phone the bigger battery and the ad card slot is good for me, the htc one s or x are great phones but limited to 9GB is not enough sometimes in my iPhone I end up using 25GB( iOS are bigger too tho), so idk I have a tmobile which I'm gonna get the gs3 to try out and might have it for myself till sprint gets LTE in las Vegas area and come back
Each of these tests is 4G LTE:

I feel lucky if I ever get over 5 megabits. This is my first LTE phone and I don't have another Verizon LTE device to see if it's just my S4 or the network. Should I be calling Verizon to complain?
What was the signal strength like at the time of the speed test? Also try changing the test site to another one near you.
The screenshot looks like your on WIFI...

I was on WiFi when I took the screenshot but all the test were done on LTE. I usually only have 2 or 3 bars of signal strength. All the tests were done within a 20 mile radius.
I don't believe that calling Verizon would make a difference, considering that your down/upload speeds are directly related to your location. Have your speeds always been like this?

I was in a known great speed/coverage area less than 4 miles from me... couldn't muster speeds faster than 24mpbs. Switched to a server 400 miles away and got 57mbps. Try different servers.
I would say its your current network conditions and not your phone. Check out the article posted by droid life.
droid-life.com/2013/05/28/americas-carrier-speeds-benchmarked-att-beats-out-verizon-while-sprint-struggles-to-perform/
Note the average speed for Verizon at 9.61 mbps download.

They've been like this ever since I got the phone which was only 5 days ago. Usually 2mbps or less with a couple outliers that hit 12+.

I just tried different servers and it didn't make much of a difference.
Is there a way to force this phone to 3G speeds? It's been so long since I tested those on my old phone I don't even remember what I was getting. It seems like they were close to 1mbps though.
Are those all in the same location? Try going somewhere else.
It would be worthwhile calling, just mention the <1Mbps speeds though, because anything between 5-12Mbps is considered normal.
If anyone here can help I'd appreciate it.
I have a verizon s4 running global on tmobile prepaid $2/day plan. Normally the $2 plan Internet is slow and not 4G is my understanding. However for the first week or two using fast.t-mobile.com as the apn my data was faster than it was on my Verizon plan. Around 60mb down and 20 up. Then it suddenly slowed down. Lower than 1mb down. It didn't make sense they throttled my data because I want on the monthly where you get some many gb of 4G in the first place. I turned off global to gsm and back to global and it was fast again for a few days. Now it's constantly slowing down and is occasionally fast after I switch data modes or data on and off. Is there a way to consistently get faster speeds? Or what do you think may be happening? Right now it's at 40mb down. Thanks.

I also have a verizon s4 running on tmobile. But the $50 prepaid plan. I noticed widely varying speeds myself. I played around a bit with the preferred network mode and couldn't see a difference as long it got lte. Now my hypothesis is the speed is based on the time of day. I'm in the process of collecting the data. Here are the results so far:
