I really don't have any problem with calls or conectivity in different areas, but the 3G data is horrible recently. Luckily the LTE network is coming in some places and the data speeds are blazing. I just hope it's more widespread soon.

Could we get a section just for speed related topics? Maybe in the sprint.com forums? I'm getting sick of all the data speed discussions on phone specific forums. We all know Sprint 3G data sucks for some and its ok for others. Could we move on already or just go to another carrier.

My wifi one said 9830kbps and 1305kbps and 24 ms yours is way higher your top one 17807 and 4578. So does that mean my wifi isn't that good LOL! I can't try it without wifi on I don't get 3G signal in my house it says no connection. But I could try it outside.

poor speed here..
2-6 Mbps Miami, FL
About 2-5 in Socal , have never seen it go past my Captivate (HSDPA) yet.
This would probably be a lot more exciting to people on the TSGS2 forum. I can't imagine anyone on AT&T buying a T-Mobile phone just to gain access to AWS which doesn't even exist in Europe or Asia. Besides, the Skyrocket is the same phone but LTE and will pull 15-18MB down so if AT&T'rs wanted a bigger screen they'd get that. It's good that it works on AT&T for you T-Mobile'rs so it's not a door stop after the merger.
I don't have screen shot sorry. But LA, California I have a bug that does not let me test. -__- i will edit later when it works
No the thing is on the original gs2 I get 1- 1.2 mbps and on T-Mobile gs2 I get 6-10 mbps on At&t. That's why I wanted to know what kind of speeds At&t gs2 owners are getting that's all. I'm not suggesting anyone to go get the T mobile version.

Why is that? What makes the T-Mobile version better for data on the same network?

It's not. The TSGS2 can get a theoretical 42MB down on T-Mobile using AWS so it's definately going to be faster there. Part of the reason isn't just the phone, T-Mobile's using dual-cell HSPA (link below). On AT&T's bands, it's 21MB down just like the ISGS2 and ASGS2 and AT&T's network's not dual-cell. If he's getting different results it's either because of APN settings being off, incorrect account provisioning, or AT&T's network just being randomly flaky. If OP was getting 1MB down with an ISGS2 something was horribly wrong. I get 3-4MB down in 3G cities and have gotten 10MB down on occasion when traveling in TX but routinely get 6-8MB down in fake-4G cities.

Dude, I live in Los Angeles too. Well actually I live fairly close to Los Angeles, data is so ****ty for me. I've looked at the network and keep watching all this so called upgrades done around me but service is still horrible.
I haven't seen scores that low in a long time. What PRL are you guys using? I'm close to the LA area too. Well in OC, close to Huntington Beach if your familiar w/ that area. I usually get about 1.2 meg down...
I've done plenty of profile and prl updates. I've used prl 21079 21080 21082 and the business prl. I've even flashed a different ROM and still the same.

4G Wimax was rolled out by Clearwire, an amateur wireless wholesaler. This current 4G LTE rollout is by Sprint. If Sprint fails to build out LTE by the end of 2013 as projected, then the company probably has doomsday issues.

The FCC shut down Light Squared alternatives, due to GPS interference. So, Light Squared will soon be Lights Out.
Sprint will have their own LTE network, and if Clear does actually put out a LTE network, they will use that, too. Sprint mentioned possibly using two different LTE technologies.

Ok so basically if I understand correctly, the LTE towers that are being put up in Texas are by Sprint themselves. Sprint was planning to use LightSquared to expand their network but that is not going to to happen due to recent regulations. So basically now Sprint has to expand their LTE network by themselves.

Even though there are only certain towers on right now for LTE in the Atlanta area, if many of you check your Network settings, you guys should be on CDMA-eHRPD instead of EVDOrA. I have been on it since I got the phone. Everywhere I've traveled from Duluth to Kennessaw to Snellville.

Sent from my EVO using xda premium
We just had updates in central Wisconsin a month or two ago and my data went from about 200k to about 2.2Mbps overnight. My evo lte connects perfectly to the new tower hardware, but is slow (100-150) on the older towers. Oddly, we also now have wimax in the woods near the upgraded tower, but it doesn't show on sprints map.
According to the local techs I know, the hardware throughout northern Wisconsin is about 50% complete and late should be set to go in all current 3g areas of the state by December...but that implied sprint just flips the switch the moment they can.
Either way, my findings are evo with new tower, great...with old tower slightly worse than my nexus.
