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...

i get diffrnt speeds on speedtest depending on server location:3
LA sever sucks lol
Are you using the Speed Test app to check your speeds? There is a known issue with that app. Go to the Speakeasy web site and run the test for an accurate test.

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.

Hello fellas,
My 3g speeds are slow can you post your data speeds please i might have to call att to get the "4g" speed

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
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA Premium App
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.
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
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
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.

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.

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

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.

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

I have tried both T-mobile SGH-T989 KID and T-mobile SGH-T989 VKL1 modems/radios and the speeds are about the same, 1mbps down and 0.03mbps up.
I tried on both Stock ROM and SAUROM and both are similar speeds. I also tried switching from GSM/HSPA to HSPA only but HSPA only runs at edge speeds.
Signal strength is 4 out of 5 bars where I tested.
Are there any other modems/radios I can try?
Thanks in advance.
really? here u go before people start bashing on u for not searching

Use the Telus radio instead and also replace your build.prop file with the modified one you can find in the forum. I get 10Mbps down 2Mbps up usually with this setup.
haha i guess i missed the first half of ur post sorry, my data was good for the first week now im getting slow speed also ill try the telus one and piston back
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
Sim is a 2G sim? WHAT????
I cleared cache and flash the Telus radio and tested the speed and it's still the same speed as the other modem/radios. I even tried the other modems again and still no difference.
I put the sim into my Sensation and tested but the speeds I was getting were 1-2Mbps Upload and 0.2-0.6Mbps download. What the heck was happening with my data speeds and I have not even reached half my Throttling limit.
I called T-Mobile, the CS said that my sim was a 2G sim and they would send me a new sim. What the heck? I was given a new sim last year when I went to the T-Mobile store and complain about the slow speeds I was getting on the G2X. The sim is definitely NOT a 2G sim as I was getting 10Mbps down and 1.2Mbps up.
This morning on my commute, I tested a couple of times on my Sensation and my download speeds are now back to 10Mbps down.
I left my Note home so I will test when I get back.
its definitely the phone with the speed issues cuz my sister get 2-4 mg download and im still stuck on 200-300 kbps her phone is a mytouch 4g slide,

Possible fix with different combo of ROM/Kernal/Radio
Checkout this XDA article on the Portal page
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/get-your-galaxy-s-ii-skyrocket-to-run-t-mobile-hspa/
It seems the At&t Skyrocket some T-Mobile users are using are having the same problem.
XDA Senior Member tspx23 uses a combo of ROM/Kernal/Radio made a difference in getting better speeds on their Skyrocket. Will that work for the Note?
Now all we need is a Juggernaut like ROM with the Faux Kernal and the VKL1 radio.
i think that could be what we are going thru who here has what setup? im using the KID radio and still getting somewhat crappy speeds first day i did the mod was Proly the best speeds i got between 6-8
