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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Where are you located if you dont mind me asking?
Do you know if network vision has rolled out to you yet?
Just got 2400 in North Dallass (Plano) but at 5 am so..
I got 1.8 megs down last night 3G near down town Dallas around 10pm.
This was in the suburbs of Chicago. Network vision is apparently live here

Very impressive! I can be quite patient with the LTE rollout if 3G speeds are that good.
Which suburb? I'm near niles/glenview.
Hopefully this will shut up the damn pessimistic low-data-speeds n00bies about Sprint's network never amounting to anything...
wait... who am I kidding
Mine varies a lot, even in the same location. Right now I am pulling around 500 kbps down and 100 kbps up each test,
Five minutes ago I was getting to 1.2 - 1.5 mbps down, 200 - 250 kbps up
must have hit one of those pockets earlier....

I'm still getting miserable speeds in central Minnesota.
im in south florida, a huge market, and sometimes in the middle of the day i cant get more than .15 kbps. absolutely atrocious. saw pictures of NV towers starting to pop up in south Miami.
In Philly with my OG Evo yesterday I was getting 1.7 mbps down, ~1 mpbs up on 3G. Activated my LTEVO today and was getting between 20 kpbs - 150 kbps down and 200-500 kbps up for a few hours. Pathetic. I couldn't load Google Maps or anything. Called Sprint to report it and got cut off during the call (never had time to call back). They said they were about to send an update to my phone. Guess that didn't happen. I'm getting around 500-600 kpbs down now, still 1/3rd the speed of 3G on my OG Evo.
Maybe I should have held off the upgrade...
With a 90ms ping I tried wireless tethering and was able to play games perfectly fine. Btw I'm in Naperville

Ya'll had to ruin a good thread huh... Thanks for hijacking it. There are plenty of other threads complaining about slow speeds
Coming from a galaxy nexus which had kinda meh 4G speeds, my 4G speeds on the N3 are insane.
I take my son to/from school every day and it's only about 3 minutes down the road. When I'm there waiting to pick him up in the afternoons I've been doing some speed tests. In that specific location I've been getting crazy speed readings. I tried a few diff servers with similar results. There must be a tower literally right there.
These are my two fastest results. The faster result is about 7 MEGABYTES per sec. That's pretty crazy. I pay $39/month for my home cable broadband, and that's only 10 Mbps, which is only about 1 MB/s. lol, sad.
It's not a false reading either. Just to confirm I downloaded a few apps, and sure enough a 13MB app downloaded in about 2 seconds.
Anyone else getting speeds like this??
Back before LTE was overloaded I got speeds like that. The one below is my fastest of all time. Just waiting for AWS to roll out now.

Here's what I'm getting
Back when I got my first 4g phone I got something like 40up 60down at SEATAC airport. About 40 and 40 at denver airport. Had to run the test a few times before I believed I was actually getting those speeds. Which brings up the interesting point of data caps and just how stupidly fast you can pass them with these speeds -_-
Eh, Speedtest timed out trying to find a server in downtown San Francisco. Is that the apps' fault or is something else awry?
Finally connected: 1.01 mbps down, .08 mpbs up.
Called the local corporate store in downtown SF, their service department is booked solid for the whole day...I wonder why.
New Orleans not bad and unlimited

do it. my photos above were from atlanta last saturday in the middle of the airport pulling 70+ mbps all morning. and others have pulled 80,90+ down there as well. atlanta has aws band 4 technology get verizon all day long there man
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.
