Ok, using the app Speedtest.net on the market, what is your speed on 3G, 4G and WiFi?
Ok, beginning with 4G
4G 9.88Mbps down, 1.35Mbps up, 106 ping
3G .23Mbps down, .3Mbps up, ~300-1250ms There is a particular spot in my house where I can get .87Mbps down, may have to do with the metal siding my house has
WiFi 24.84Mbps down, 1.8Mbps up, 19-30ms (As far as I know, I only have 15 or 20Mbps down, this might be the Road Runner speed boost)
Road runner?

My 4g speeds fluctuate sometimes but for the most part all of my logs show 4 to 8 mbit down. On the up stream it is anywhere from .6 mbit to 1.6 typically..
If I do end up getting some crappy rates on a test and they do prove consistent over a few tests I will release and renew the connection to 4g.
My 4G varies from 0.2M to 6.9. I just didn't get it. I have 3 bars of signal all the time.
I get a steady 10-11 down and 1.5 up, ping of 80ms at home, and about 5-6 down at work and 1 up with a 110 ping. Don't even use 3g anymore it is just way to slow, but last time i checked i was getting between 760k to 1m down and about 320k up pong was high 100's though.

So I recently started messing around with speedtest.net. When I'm in a strong 3G area I see around 5 mbps down. At home on wifi I see around 1.5 mbps down. At face value, it looks like my 3G is faster than my wifi. Can this be true? My ISP only offers up to 1.5 mbps in my area. Should I just get wifi tether and use my phone for internet at home, or do the stats from speedtest only tell a part of the story?

it is possible that your phone is faster. There are a few things to keep in mind though. How much data do you use? If it is more than 5 GB keep your DSL. The other is are you playing video games? If you are playing games that require a low ping then also stay with your DSL. If you are using low amounts of bandwidth and not playing games you might want to switch.

It's certainly possible, but it doesn't neccessarily mean that your speeds will stay consistent or even be as fast when tethered. Also, your wifi speed will vary based on your distance from your router.
Also keep in mind that your 3G contract has a 5GB cap. From what I understand this simply means your speeds will be throttled down once you reach the cap (and there are some workarounds that may or may not work well out there).
3G is one of the most inconsistent broadband connection out there, so personally I'd never rely on it as my primary internet source, but it's up to you
Awesome answers, I appreciate the info!

I have not had the high download speeds over the past few days. Have done a bunch of speed tests, downloads speeds take off when the speed test first begins, then seem settle right around 5500kbs. This is true in my house (suburb of Chicago), and downtown Chicago. I was consistently hitting between 8000 and 14000 before. Anyone else notice this?
Mine dropped also. In STL. Was seeing ~7-10 down, 30+ up. Am now seeing 2-3 down, 25 up. 4g (of course), 2 bars.
I'm still getting the same 30-40mbps down in Fort Worth.

Still getting 33+ Mbit download here in Dallas, but it seems like upload speeds are capped for me (speedtest quickly climbs to 5Mbit, but then just hovers at around 5.1Mbit). 3-4 bars.
Also, funkybside: Don't use the Speedtest.Net App. The upload speeds are incorrect. Just go directly to the site in your browser (might need to switch the useragent to "Desktop") and test it there.
Still strong for me all over DFW.
I extremely rarely get faster than 6-8Mbps outside of Philly. Even tried if downtown was better over the weekend, but was the same
increased network usage? / more customers per tower?
just got 13557kbps down in a northern chicago suburb in a basement office with 1 bar of reception. gotta love LTE vs. worthless WiMAX

Verizion is still doing upgrades and testing on the software. No caps here guys... Just Verizion doing testing on bad times. They have also said they do encounter issues and notices leaks on LTE in which requires users to call if noticing connection dropages. Just something I might tell you all. I get 15 MBs download and 3 Upload. I keep calling them when I notice connection issues and they fix it within a day.

Just ran a few tests now, in the office, near the edge of our LTE coverage here in metro atlanta.
10mbps down, 0.5 mbps up, pretty consistent in multiple tests.
Not bad at all given I'm nowhere near downtown atlanta, and it's more or less "peak hours" of usage. Thunderbolt adoption here has been pretty solid too, so I'm sure there's no shortage of LTE users in Atlanta.
I see some people in other areas posting really high speeds compared to mine here in Culver City -
Using the speed test app, these are my speeds in Culver City
On 3G
Download 262kbps, upload 66kbps, ping 116ms - this was at 10 AM and about the same at 2PM
On 4G

I just tested 3G again at 10 PM
Download 398 kbps, upload 550 kbps, ping 116ms

Download 443kbps, upload 53kbps, ping 116ms
In Gardena, I get 5-6Mb down and 1-1.5 up on 4G. Haven't run speedtest on 3G there.
At home in San Pedro, 4G is non existent and 3G isn't much better.

I live In Arcadia, west of Pasadena, outdoors on 4G, I get around 6-8 Mbps routinely. Don't check 3G cause I never use it. Indoors I'm about 2-3 Mbps.
I work in Marina Del Ray (hows that for a commute), the 4G signal is so-so... around 5 Mbps.
Culver sucks as far as signal. on the 10 freeway between the 405 and all the way to USC its pretty weak.

Thanks - that commute sucks - I'm usually heading to Pasadena for work. If I had work in Arcadia, I'd be going to Woodranch for lunch!
I am in fountain valley. I get 4-8 mb at home. It is amazing I get perfect service in one corner and I move it two feet the 4g signal starts crapping out, lol. on 3g I am between .75 - 2.0 mb at home, it just depends on the time of the day.
In Encino i average

I'm right next to you in Sherman Oaks but not getting anything close to those speeds. Did you do anything like reset your data or call Sprint to have them do a reprovisioning?
Got Long Beach on lock here. I average around 800-1300kbps on 3G. On 4G, its more like 3-5mbps.

Where I work in culver city I don't even get 4g. Nor on my commute or at home. If i go a couple blocks from any location I do. My 3g signal is pretty good everywhere if I'm outside. Inside can be ok to horrendous.
Im down here in San Diego and get consistently lower speeds than any that have been posted so for. And there is NO 4G at all.
I called Sprint and they are sending me a free airave in hopes that it will give me a better connection.
I cannot even talk on my phone at my home because the calls get dropped. I had two calls dropped WITH Sprint technical support on Friday.

I'm in central Florida (kissimmee/Orlando) and I'm getting an average of 3mbps down and 1.1mbps up. Just curious as to what the rest of you are getting.
Also this might be a silly question, but if I'm on "4G", should it say UMTS or HSPA+ in my about phone status?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
It says HPSA. Haven't checked my speeds, been on Wi-Fi.
what are your pings?
Ping 75 ms
Download 3681 kbps
Upload 617kbps
does it feel fast as far as when you hit the browser until a page loads?
Yes the browser performance is quite good.
More info: HSPA+ isn't available in Charlotte currently, Charlotte uses the 1900 band
I live in Indianapolis, IN and I have an H+ on my status bar and my speeds were clocked at
4139 kbps down
1105 kbps up
130ms ping
I am currently a bit further out than Indianapolis at the moment though so I am not sure if the speeds will be better once I am in the city.
Does the the H+ mean we are getting 4G? If so hspa+ speed is pretty disappointing.

H+ means HSPA+, this is not an LTE (real 4G) phone.
Mine is showing H+ up top but UMTS in phone status. My ping is averaging 150ms. So far feels faster than my captivate, but I was expecting better.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA App
I was more asking if the H+ icon actually means we are getting hspa+. As the speeds don't seem that much better than what I had on my captivate. Also when I dial *#0011# it says HSPA+ used:0 leading me to believe the h+ icon has no real meaning.

My S2 will be sitting idle until some ROMs pop up, but the S2 demo in my local AT&T store got around 2.5 mbps down and 1 mbps up (which is typical for my area).
When in the settings, you'll see UMTS. Devices often switch to HSDPA/HSPA when a data session starts.

No, I haven't turned mine on yet but with other devices AT&T set them up to display H+ for UMTS (3G) and HSPA (3.5G).
