What is everyone's 4G speeds?? And what ROM and/or radio are you running??
When I first got my Rez on 1/22 my 4G speeds were insane. I could get a steady 28M down and 14M up anytime anywhere in my area (Columbia/Lexington SC). Now my speeds are 2-5M down and and 2M up, but the ping is still very good at 50ms, so it shouldn't be a poor connection issue. Also, I've got 4-5 bars at pretty much all times. Quite a drastic drop off. I've called Verizon and asked them WTF. They will not tell me if they have started throttling in this area on purpose or not. I'm also wondering if its the new radio in the OTA they sent out. My speeds were great pre-OTA and now they are terrible post-OTA, but I didnt test right after the OTA so I dont know if that was the cause or not. Also, now my wifi speeds seem to be limited to 5M down, where as my internet connection is 15M down and my Mac and my Win laptop both hit 15M down, so its not a router/cable modem issue.
I've thought about flashing backwards and testing the pre-OTA radio again now to see if the new radio is the culprit, but I'd like to see what everyone else's experiences are first before I flash back and lose everything on my phone.
So, please post your 4G speeds, location, and rom/radio. Thanks!
New radio on ineffabalis 1.3 and I get 8 down on a bad day 15 down regularly. Your speeds will drop with the more people that get LTE in your area. I used to get 38 down in Cincinnati when the thunderbolt first came out. I got it on launch day.

2-5 down and 2up, Thats about what I get on my fake 4G H+ and even some 3G guys get that. My 4G LTE speeds are about 5-20 down and 1.5-10Up. I am on stock. In jan my verizon speeds sucked like 3-4 down and 1up. My AT&T SGS2 was beating it bad for the first 1/2, but then got better by feb. (I could not play 1080p vids form youtube on it, but could on my SGS2.)
Any way do any of you drop data?
I think I may try and get a new sim to see if that will fix it.
I am averaging 21 up and 8.5 down. And I haven't had a single drop with 4G.

Yea, I realize that the more people get 4G the slower it'll get. That's what worries me. In just less than one month its gone from 28/14 all the way down to 5/2. And Verizon has announced that every smartphone in 2012 will be 4G. How slow will it get down to? My AT&T HSPA+ phone could get 3/1.5 consistently.
One test I did this morning with 4 bars was only 2211 down and 2771 up. Thats 3G speeds.
And the upload is super jerky, it bounces all over the place.

We have a lot of LTE users at work. But I think the tower is closer and is pumped up more.
I've been told, that none of the towers are at full capacity and have lots of room to "improve" as needed, meaning that as needed, they can boost them up to handle more traffic and users.

That was my understanding. From what I had been told the towers in my area are between 25-30% of full power. I haven't really seen speeds get faster since I first got my thunderbolt, but they are more stable. 4G LTE used to bounce ALL over the place. Now whatever speed I get it sits very consistant at.
Speedtest.net shows me getting 15 down it sits at 15 the whole go. It used to be say when I was getting 38 forever ago, that it'd bounce from 30-38 through the whole test.

Woke up this morning to see a message stating my phone updated on its own. Scared me because I'm rooted and everything. I didn't notice any changes though. I can't remember the exact message but it did say service update. Did a speed test on 3g and found 1mbps down. I used to get 400k.
I'm just south of Chicago btw.
I got the same update, anyone know what its for?
Woke up this morning to the same message about a service update. Whatever they did is very nice. Download and upload speeds seem to both be much improved but whats even more impressive is the ping time which is vastly improved. I don't think I've ever seen ping times that fast on 3G. As you can see in my sig even 4G ping times have been much slower.

I saw something similar last night around 10:30 PM EST. I clicked "cancel" or whatever as soon as I saw it pop up, but I think I was too late. I had been running CM for several weeks, but just flashed a Synergy ROM to have something different a day or so ago. Just my luck that they would send out a non-optional update during a time when I'm on a Sense ROM. I suspect an AOSP ROM wouldn't have been affected. Anyway, I haven't noticed any significant changes in speed, but have yet to really test it. I wonder if this is part of the whole Network Vision thing?
Got the same service message as well (Chicago area phone currently in Sioux Falls - affiliate network Swiftel)
Same here - service update in B'more.
sub100ms ping and 1.3mbps up/ 800kbps down ... ON 3G!!!
WOW...
I'm skeptical/cynical though - where is the bitter that comes with the sweet?
Also, sorry for sort of a double post if anyone plans to complain. I was getting ready for work when I did this and didn't even look at other posts.
Now that that's out of the way... I kinda kept an eye on my service on my way to work, which is a 50 minute drive through the country roads, but still close enough to the city that i'm not in the boonies. Was streaming Pandora to get a feel for it, but as soon as I got a mile or 2 away from home, service dropped to 1x, but full bars. It stayed that way until I got to work... maybe they're still working on things here.
Got the update here. Same old garbage 100k to 300k speeds south of Tampa. If anything, my signal strength seems worse. Used to have 1 bar sometimes blinking the second. Now I have zero sometimes blinking the first.

I got the "...service updated" Message last night around 10:30 CST (KC/Central Mo area). PRL is the same version as before. I have NEVER seen a dialogue message like this before, ever, with sprint. I am on a rooted custom ROM as well. SO much for thinking we have "total" control of our devices.
3G speed tests today show consistently faster downstream. I'll continue testing.

My Evo 3d is hitting over 2 MB with pings under 100. My Evo 4g is around 1 MB with varying pings. I am running MikG 2.59 on the Evo 4g. The service update looks like they enhanced the 3g speeds for the Evo 3d IMO.

Well, I am begrudgingly happy for you. LOL
Actually, I guess that the location is moot since I haven't received the update.
I have also done the 3g speed tweak from the old Evo 4g days. Both my 4g and 3d have it. Ive been watching the Evo 4g forum to see if any1 has gotten the service update.
Got the forced update in Sacramento this morning. My 3G signal is much improved in my office. 100ms ping, 1.32Mbps down, .37mbps up. Before I could hardly connect at all.
So I'm thinking something must have changed...
Oh, 4g still sucks though.
MASSIVE improvement here:
before always >300ms and never 1mbps down (generally 300-600) or 300kbps up...
NOW
all day on different towers <80ms; almost 2mbps down; and approaching 1mbps up
Near Baltimore/Ellicott City
I don't see any chatter on the evo og, evo shift, epic 4g, ... re the update.
BUT - It does seem some evo3ds are unaffected - still 300ms pings and horrible down speeds.

As the title says what are the speeds I should be getting. I am in the Los Angeles, O.C. area and with speed test at anytime I can get anywhere from 4Mbps to 20Mbps with it generally hovering around 7-8Mbps. I thought LTE was suppose to be a good deal faster than GSM 3G, which is suppose to be around 3-7Mbps. Now is speeds I get normal, or is there something wrong? If there really is something wrong, what are my options? Thanks.
That is average it just depends how many people in your area are using you network I've seen up to 27mpbs during off peak times but average 5-10 during the day

Then what is this that I see people showing they get like 23+Mbps and that is like normal for them. I spoke to a Verzion tech and said 5-10Mbps is normal, but it would be advised to go into a local store and compare speeds with another Rezound model just to double check and see if my phone is working normally.
i average about 13-15 mbps down and about 1mbps up and thats in phoenix

I'm in the Metro Detroit area and we have 4g pretty much everywhere. With a weak signal I get 3-6 down and 1 up, but when my signal is strong I get between 13-16 down and 10-13 up. Oddly enough, though I get a better signal on average with the rezound than when I had galaxy nexus, the galaxy nexus seemed to pull higher speeds when it did have a good 4g signal. I topped out around 35 down and 20 up with the galaxy nexus. It couldn't hold a 4g signal like the rezound does though. It would kick back to 3g off and on.
They are not advertising a speed yet because it changes so much due to demand and infrastructure. I have gotten over 60 mbps. But average 30mbps. The larger your city, the higher the demand. I live by Notre Lame so demand isn't as high as your big cities. Give it a year or 2 I'm sure they will sell speed based packages instead of bandwidth like cable does.

I get around 15mbps in Central NJ (New Brunswick). When I went up to NYC I was getting about 20mbps.
It really depends on how close you are to the tower and how many people have LTE in your area.
I'm about an hour outside of Houston and I average 25-30 down and 10 up.
So then my speeds are typical for a large metro area, like where I am located?
3g GSM's specs say it can allow 3-7mb/s, but I bet most people out there with 3g devices pull about 700kb/s to maybe 1mb/s in a place with a strong signal. I had an Incredible 2 before this phone and the fastest internet speed I had was 1mb/s standing next to a tower. LTE is lightyears ahead of 3g. I personally think 7-8mb/s is great, not outstanding, but for surfing the web, downloading ROMs, and watching videos its more than enough for most. The 20mb/s + speeds are more for show than anything...
In Hollywood CA I get around 15-20 mbps up and 10-15 mbps down

For the first time I'm in a city with 4g. Excitedly I check my phone... Full bars yea! So I open a web page and I see it isn't much faster the 3g so I do a speed test and prove my hypothesis. After 3 test I don't see a huge difference is that a tower thing or what I don't care I use WiFi at home and don't really need that much speed when I am away from my house or school I just expected more.

Try downloading a Rom on 3g vs 4g. At roughly 500mb 3g would take hours. With my lower then average 4g area at my house it still only takes a few minutes. If I go to certain areas around town its even faster.
My 4G is faster than the wifi in my house about 8/10 times with the average around 15-20mbps with the highest I've gotten is around 40.
I'm able to download a 500mb file in about 5 minutes or less.
My 4g smokes my Comcast line, and I have the faster residential since I have Directv. I get low end 8-10 and I have found over 40 a couple times around Metro Detroit.

I also agree that it depends on the city. I'm in Houston and see a dramatic difference between my 3g and 4g. I could never go back to just 3g now and for the rare occurance I'm not in a 4g area, I usually won't even mess with my phone.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
my 4g varies from .85 to 30 mbps down. Just hit or miss. Depends on the time of day I guess.
It all depends on location. It could be the towers, the signal strength, or how many people are using 4G in that location. When I'm at work I usually only pull 8-10 Mbps, but in other areas I've gotten around 20 Mbps. Not quite as fast as my home internet, but very close. I wish I were fortunate to live some place where I could pull 40+ Mbps speeds like I see some people do, but alas, it wasn't meant to be...

When I work in Houston my 4G averages about 22Mb/s, but when I have to work in Texas City (an hour down the road from Houston) and the 4G tower there gives me about 16Mb/s. Both of which blow my 3G speeds away.
I guess different towers just work better.
I've been calling every day, every day they tell me no data outages in my area. Have another Sprint user in my building getting same speeds. I've resorted to installing a 3G roaming PRL because they simple won't do anything about it. Before 9/4 the data was fine, slow at times, but I could at least stream Pandora, etc...

Is it common that when the roll out vision data speeds go to crap before they get better? It's funny as it only seems to be in this 2 mile range around my work. By my house, I'm getting 3G speeds above 1400kbps (which I've never got before). I've told Sprint that, told them that I've updated my profile, basically told them everything and that I just want them to tell an engineer despite what their system shows, that their is slow data in this address range... Still nothing.
Guess I'll just get my contract terminated for roaming...

A speedtest is ONE run. This is a speedtest export of MANY runs.

In the Speedtest Application, just hit the "RESULTS" tab below & it'll give you every run, (date + time, download, upload & ping)
I'm well aware of that, but I wanted more results than that displays, so I exported to CSV. I've fixed the first post so it was better formatting.

I have read that speeds can be affected during the switch over. In my personal experience, it also depends on geographic location. I live in Lake Worth FL, I get 2mb down and almost 900kb up from my house on 3g. Now, I work in North Miami Beach, I'm lucky if I get 100kb down and 3 kb up down here, even on 5 bars. This is even before the LTE rollout. Just because you have a good signal, doesn't mean your data will be fast. I think some areas may be over subscribed, they just don't have the bandwidth available for all their devices in some areas. Hopefully this will get better as they rollout LTE in my area.
If they are upgrading to vision it would be more likely that your speeds would fluctuate rather then stay at a constant low. They may be repairing towers in that area and pushing the load onto remaining towers. That essentially cripples available bandwidth. Had to put up with a similar issue for almost 3 straight months. They should tell you if there are any repairs or improvements being done. Have you tried having your call escalated?

+1 on this. That was going to be my recommendation as well.
CR will probably credit you which looks like you are entitled with the crappy service. And yes, data gets worse during NV upgrades, especially when they are working on the backhaul to the towers. It gets worse before it gets better then you will know its almost time to light up LTE. in short, nothing much more you can do other than leave Sprint but I'm thinking it will be regretted in the end.

Uh, fix it. No one should have data this slow consistently. Every single second. I understand periods of slowness, but this is absurd.
And, it looks like they fixed it last night... Back to normal 400-600kbps.
I've had data that slow at home for close to 15 months, all I got was an Airave (sounds like a motto on a t-shirt).

lol there are places that have had data that slow for 2+ years now with no fixes from sprint.
Get an Airave!, I just moved to a remote area of Hawaii, no data and 1bar at best. Two days after calling for an airave I recieved it. Now 5bars and full 3g. Best part is its free!

I have been getting really slow data speeds in the Los Angeles area. I used to have the Galaxy S2 (i777) and it had decent speeds (usually 2-3 Mbps and sometimes up to almost 11). When I upgraded to this phone, I was hoping to get around 5 or 6 Mbps but I get this instead.

It's so slow I can't even load webpages sometimes.
What phones did you come from and what has your experience been with data speeds? What city do you live in? Have you played around with the APN settings to increase speeds?

Are you on an unlimited plan? Maybe you have been throttled. If not then something is wrong,I got 21 down on lte in Detroit.

I am on the 2gb data plan and it says I have 1.9 left. I rarely use At&t data since I am connected to WiFi 80-90% of the time.
Speeds are faster early in the morning or later in the day around afternoon and also night time. It's just really slow during the day. I guess the network is just congested but it was never this bad when I was on my old phone.
Make sure you are connected to the closest server in the server list, sometimes it messes up and gives you one thousands of miles away, which result in low speeds.

Thanks. I've selected the same server that I used with my old phone (Los Angeles Dream Host).
How do your data speeds compare with your old phones? a) increase, b) decrease, c) stay about the same?
And was your old phone LTE or HSPA+?
No problems in Pasadena.

Pasadena was where I got the highest data speed (near Cal Tech). I got 11, almost 12 Mbps on my old phone there.
Why are your speeds so slow? Im getting upper 30 mb consistently

I am in LA/Orange County and the highest I have gotten is 16 down 8 up, but usually it is around 10down 3up and my friends get the same....at&t still growing lte and congested los angeles are the culprits

Im in the DC, MD, area. Ive tested in atlanta and little rock and it was similar also. Over 30

All lte at my house except one 3g test as you can obviously see.
I think you may want to check apn or call att. That might resolve your issue
I had to do that twice in one year due to some technical beef my phone did not register with their servers after resetting.
Portland oregon
around most of Dallas I get 12-20Meg ... in some places 30-40Meg+
the only time I got terrible speed was when I tried using the LTE toggle. but that was easily fixed.
I hate you guys, such fast speeds.
I shot AT&T an email and this was their response.... not sure if it is true or if it is just the normal reply they give when people ask about data speeds.
"Thank you for contacting AT&T about your wireless service. I will be
more than happy to assist you with your inquiry regarding your data
speeds today.
I'm sorry to hear of your data speed issues on the new LTE network, and
am glad to look into that for you. I do see several tower issues being
worked on in your area, which started a couple of weeks ago. They are
planned to be resolved by 12/30/2012. There are also planned upgrades to
the existing towers there too. I have now sent in a network quality
report to our engineers to make them aware of the impacts this is
having. They do use these reports in network planning also.
If you have any additional questions about this issue, please respond to
this email. Thank you for choosing AT&T; we appreciate your business."
Ask them if your data plan is compatible. The Bestbuy website, when I ordered, said that I must upgrade from my 2GB 4G data plan to the 3GB LTE data plan. There was no getting around it. Maybe you have to have the 3GB data plan to use LTE. Although it does look like your connected just fine.
