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

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.

[Q] what are the 3g speeds that you get on your vibrant

Well i was asking this because my speeds are pretty impressive because i get 6000kbps download and 1200 upload.. So what do you guys get
3-5 mbps when on 3g. But unfortunately there's no 3g at my place so 150kbps. Sucks eh?
The highest I have seen was 6, but the average is 2-4 mbps.
I get 0.03 - 0.8mbps on 3G in my house. The funny thing is I used to get 2-6mbps download about 2 weeks ago consistently in the same place here in downtown Dallas.
My upload speeds have been consistent at 0.75-1.8mbps
That about the same upload I get here in Dallas too.

People having slow internet speeds with At&T samsung galaxy S2

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.

Edit- oops, didn't notice it was the speakeasy speedtest.

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.

sprints 3G network..

whys everyone complain so much? I just did some tests on 3G, was getting 1.8mps 1.7mps 1.8mps download and around 1-1.5 upload with just above 100ping, hell i can game on that all I want. at my friends apartment we play gears of War online using my photon, i get around 250 ping there but there is NO lag in game. and it only used like 60kbps? small huh?
edit- and people complain about the 4G.. now I understand for the people that don't have it but in laurel mississippi/kansas city ANYWHERE I go (especially kansas city) i have 2-full 4G bars and in Kansas City I have coverage an hour away from the actual city in any direction

lucky you.
i get a ping of 500-700 down of 175-300 kbps and upload of 400-600kbps
whats worse is with 4g i get about a ping of 300-320 download is 800kbps to 1700kbps and upload is 100-300kbps and this is not peak time where i live. during peak time 4g is worse than 3g.
My speed has be improving
1mb up 400 KB down 300 ping though

What speeds do other carriers get? I tested Verizon's before 4g ever came out and it was close to 3 mbps

Sprints speeds are by far the worst in the industry. Their equipment sucks, their service sucks and they are so far behind it's a joke. I just did a speed test and got 475 kbps down and 550 kbps up. Thats a complete joke in Phoenix Az. I would test 4g but oh yeah, Sprint never gave it to us here like we were promised.
Yesterday I got 2.35 down and .85 up. And I get a steady 1.89 down and 1.07 up.

Yeah here on the armpit of Texas I get 50/80 down and even less up no 4g and seemingly no promise of 4g but yet those bas#@%#! Charge me 10$ a month for it if verizon wasn't so damn expensive I would have jumped ship already
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
well I'm living in the areas with the upgrades nd what not, they have amazing 4G and 3G so I'd just wait, personally I think sprint is making it ahead of the game in the long run.. they already have future plans for lte-advance deployment after the LTE deployment..
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
What are you guys using to read those speeds???
Mopho....
The obvious reason that people complain is because not everyone is capable of getting those speeds via 4g must less 3g. If I could get 500 up and down on 3g on a regular basis I would probably be happy. As it stands I'm lucky to get a quarter of that.
Its great you have good speeds, but you should realize you are in the extreme minority when it comes to Sprint customers.

The problem with all this is that it's the future, and promises. The reason i switched to Sprint was 4g. But still don't have it. 2 years of waiting. They need to catch up now, or people will jump ship.

I envy all of you for being happy with those awful speeds. I left 8-10 mbps on tmo to come in and max out at 500kbps on sprint on a good day. I suck it up because this is the best phone ever.
Sent from my MoPho using the XDA Premium app
As long as I get 1 mbps down I'm happy. I don't see the need to have 10-40mbps download speeds on a cell phone. I could care less about 4g, I rarely used it anyway. I've gotten as high as 2 mbps on sprints 3g and that was more than enough speed.

I would be content with 2mb, but it's hard to watch Netflix or youtube with a couple hundred kb.
Sent from my MoPho using the XDA Premium app
It all depends on where you're at, how good the Sprint coverage is, and how heavily taxed the network is.
Chicagoland USED to be fantastic, but it has suffered dramatically over the course of the last year.
I live in chandler...4g in the area and my speeds r double
Hate much. Lol

To all my non LTE brothers

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

Verizon speeds lately .....

Anyone else been having very slow speeds on Verizon lately? It's been slowing down for a few months now. I used to get 20 - 30mbps download and lately it's been averaging around 5mbps. I've already tried "resetting" the phone & even switching roms. I'm wondering if it's network congestion or if they're finally throttling me(since I have unlimited data still).
I am also unlimited...just ran a speed test and hit 40.6mbps. Usually I'm around 25-30 though.

Here in Philly LTE speeds have been horrible, as low as .5mbps for me. And that was tested a couple of weeks ago. Data is essentially useless, so I just bumped down to a 250 meg package. I try use wifi everywhere I go, or try not to use data. Gettin' real bad.
Data speeds entirely depend where you live and who else is using the bandwidth. If you live in a crowded city you might not get great speeds during peek time. If you live in a rural area if you even have LTE there like me the speed is basically consistent I get about 20-30mbps at best. However like mentioned before I just try to use wifi all the time because I am limited to my 2gb and wifi is usually avaliable to me.

It's never even kinda-snappy here in Philly. Plain slow, all the time.
I've just generally not been getting good speeds anywhere. I get about 16/4 (D/U) in the best area of my house (my room) but the living room is like 8/1.8... I mainly use it for uploading. (TWC ISP gets me about 15/1mbps) My friends house in the town over I barely get 3G. However closer to the lake (erie) I can get 20-30.
Fastest I've ever got was 36/32 in Detroit.
Also I should mention that I've never seen speeds get better since I switched from AT&T to Verizon...
Inc -> rezzy -> DNA
Forgot to mention my house is on a lake if that has anything to do with signal and speed.
