I have heard people say you have a (ex) 21/7 plan or a 14/6 plan. Are there actually plans like this and how do i know what kind i have? Does this have to do with the towers, the phone or just Verizon?
Excuse my ignorace
They list speeds of 5-12mbs down load and 2-5mbs upload. You may get more or you may get less.
This all has to do with what phone you are using, the tower you are using and the # of users on the tower.
There are no different plans. It depends on the phone and where you are. I got like 22Mbs on my GNEX and Rezound near pittsburgh, but only about 6-11 near Youngstown. So it really is a big difference in variables.
I've hit 29 down and 5 up.

I've seen downloads that calc out to faster than 20mbit/sec. A lot faster than Wifi, I can tell you that!
a lot faster than your wifi, maybe.
yeah - at work i get consistent 30d/6u, at home I get around 8-9u/4d. Where I live is a much more densely populated 4G area than where I work.

Haha. My feelings exactly. Verizon 4g just went live in my area...to bad it costs twice as much.
I average 0. Yep...big ole fat 0 because I don't live or work anywhere near a 4G network. Well...Verizons is near by...
i had 10meg down once....only once...
I'm still on my a quest to find the legendary 4th G. I'm pretty sure it doesn't exist in Illinois.
I have 4g in my area...they havent advertised it yet..must be doin testing...but i get it at my house and tge mall a couple miles away

I can get 10-12 here in Elk Grove Village
10-12Dn 2-4 up around Portland OR pretty consistantly
Sitting in a building across the street from the Sprint office here in Itasca (I-290 & Thorndale Ave.), top floor:
2750k down, 750k up
I set up a wireless router off the office LAN and use that instead, in addition to using the 18mbps U-Verse Wi-Fi at home (live on the south side of Chicago), cause the 4G has left me feeling a little less than enthusiastic. Yeah, the speed is better than (for the most part) 3G, but I hate seeing all the T-Mobile goons coming up to me with their 12-15mbps numbers.
in IL here pretty much all along lake cook road gets fantastic 4g from chicago all the way out to algonquin (where the road ends)

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

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.

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.

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 travel often to remote locations. I must say, some pretty random cities/towns have lte coverage. I personally live in the ny metropolitan area and in my home I only get like 4 Mbps down on lte. In detroit (a ghost town)I got almost 30, in aurora ohio I was getting 24 down, in summerville sc I was also getting about 24 down. It kind of upsets me that I live in a metropolis with either a crowded 4g network or just plain slow. There are areas in the ny area where I get really fast connection speeds. Not in my house though.

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..

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

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.

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.
