While those are some ****ty upload speeds... The download is actually really good. And the ping is pretty good too.

I agree. I think his post was being sarcastic.
Upload is always way slower than download speeds.
Wish I got those speeds.
Verizon is going to have 4G in my area by the end of the summer. Looking at another two years before Sprint 4G comes to my area.
So the the ultimate question is, how much do I like unlimited data?
One thing I know is, if Sprint pulls unlimited data after it acquires a network I am going to be more than upset. If I sit here for the next couple of years getting 50-300kbps average, while I could be getting 10 times that on big red, only to see Sprint say, "Okay, we have a network comparable to the other carriers, here's tiered data..." Somehow, I think that's there plan.

It was all in jest. I get acceptable 3g and good 4g. However, I will be mad if LTE if slower in my area than my current 4g.

I noticed a HUGE speed jump yesterday too.
I will say I noticed a jump in mine also. I switched back to a sense rom. Just to get 4g to tether at work. After a day I missed my cm and said eff it I'm going back to cm. When I went back and tethered, I noticed it was a huge difference. Was around 300kbs, now I'm around 1.4 mbs here in Jax.

maybe they actually are going to improve the network before the iphone. Who knows, maybe the iphone will help things since they use less data than android phones. (because of less bg updates)

same here except i dont even have 3g around my house anymore. been on 1x since wednesday yet sprint continues to say theres nothing wrong with the towers in my area and that its my phones. sorry sprint but i dont believe all 3 of my phones and tablet just suddenly crapped out on the same day to use only 1x and only in the areas around my house. 2 miles down the road there back on 3g.
I knew I wasn't going crazy!! Same here!!
I was pulling 50-150kbps usually and I noticed my 3G data was going in and out like mad so I talked to the dudes at Best Buy and they said they'd been having issues with their Sprint phones and activating them. Turns out they found out that Sprint's been messing with the towers in my area and have been working on getting 4G brought to my city, and now my data speeds are INSANE.
On 3G yesterday I pulled 960 kbps with Speedtest, and consistently pull 500-800kbps. Definitely kicking ass now.
Just did a speed test, this is absolute garbage. I am getting 88 kbps download. What the hell am I suppose to do with that? And how is this not grounds for getting out of your contract for free? I rather have a data cap but usable 3G speeds.
I've had better.. but this is the norm.
Speeds are getting better but when will sprint get a power house device like the amaze... I mean we do have the S3 processor but if this thing could record in 1080p with a 2mp ffc and 8mp rear camera all would be good. I don't understand why they don't aim to completely top the last device...

i have noticed a huge jump in 3G as well... out here in sacramento CA. i stay up pretty late, and the last few weeks at odd hours of the night my network speeds will just take a dive or cut out entirely for several hours. then it's right back in the morning.
i have also noticed i am getting 4g in more areas. i used to always have to turn my 4g antenna off while on my way to work because it would cut out... now i get solid reception on my way to work when on wimax.
my 3g speeds have always been pretty good though. and 4g as well
it is obvious to me they are expanding
I think after the past few months my service has gone downhill badly and I think I have finally decided to move on to Verizon where I will get what I pay for, I have been paying for premium data with sprint and the only way I get data is over wifi, and I'm done. Hope you guys don't wait too long before you make your decisions.

Does anyone know if AT&T still plans on enabling 64QAM on their HSPA+ network(if they haven't already)? Or have they decided to ditch evolved HSPA+ in favor of LTE?

They are still using 16QAM which effectively limits your speeds at 14.4mbps in theory. The latest I've heard is they will not be upgrading to 64QAM and they expect their users to fall back to 14.4mbps capable HSPA+
Totally sucks that T-Mobile users have been rocking 64QAM since last year.
Im nearing that 14.4 limit
This was using the HSPA+ from my ATT GS2 while tethered to my laptop

I just did the exact same. I came from the HTC Evo and switched to the HTC Amaze.
sprint's data was worthless....
I racked up a ton of roaming charges to get out of my Sprint contract ETF free because the data was beyond useless, like 25-50 kbps, T-Mo gives me anywhere from 7000 to 14000 kbps. I can watch Youtube videos again! I will take 5gb plus throttling over never being able to hit 1GB if I tried.
I use a Sprint PCS data card for work.
This is why I got a tethering plan with my phone.

I wish that was the case for me. My services were good with Sprint but they started charging me for stuff that didn't make any sense and the stores started to tell me to call *2 for everything. After I switched to T-mo I found out that they are kinda skipping 3G and going from 2 to 4. Which is better anyways.
I tried out sprint for 3 days and the data was so slow. At home I'd get 1-2mbps while on Tmo I'd get 5-8mbps. And i checked i was in "perfect" coverage too. Call quality was worse. Text messages came out or order. Their plans are good on cheap but the network sucked for me.

1-2 mbps is around the most you'll get on sprint 3G because the technology is limited to 3.1 mbps down.
I used to be impressed with data speeds but in real life situations how is 5-6 mb better than 1-2. i stream you tube and Pandora just fine on 1mb. even when i tether my tablet it browses just fine so please let me know how speeds up to 10mb really make a difference. I just picked up the amaze for the second time today and my house only has a 2g signal and its too slow to even use the market. at least i can download apps on my sprint evo without having to turn on wifi
If people got 1Mbps on Sprint regularly there wouldn't be such a huge problem.
100-300Kbps is too common on Sprint. Not only that but in areas where EV-DO is so crowded you get 1x switching.
I love sprint i just wish 4G speeds were on speeds with LTE come on wimax

I can't stream netflix. No YouTube no Pandora. Forget even a steady enough connection to even successfully download a 90 mb ROM from my dropbox. I guess I could drive over 600 miles or so to some amazingly over rated 4G/wimax. T-mo gets consistant 2.5.to 3.5 mbs on the hspa+ network sitting 4 inches from my evo3d I value my time. Maybe when Verizon kills sprint off ill try some cdma again. But I am so sick of having a 4G phone with a sub 56k connection that was slow in 2000.

Im thinking about doing the same... Who cares about a 2gig limit if i can never get to it... I had tmobile when it was 5gig and the one time I did get throttled it was slow but not as slow as 12kbps like I get now with sprint... I've called dozens of times and they all say the same thing...
"No towers are showing any problems data wise... let's set up a eticket and have the device checked out..."
Go to the sprint service center... Guy looks at my phone and checks a few things out...
"No problems here"
I tell him to run a speed test (in a sprint store) and I pull 150kbps...
Now I have WiFi at home and have to use it to watch/stream anything... But why in the fack am I paying for "premium data"?

3G: 1.5mbps down/800kbps up
4G 10.7mbps down/2300kbps up
Holy smokes.... That's LTE speeds. And they said WiMAX would never get above 4. I ran the test 3 times. I thought I was on WiFi...
That's with full 6/6 bars 3G and 2/3 bars 4G
So those of you sick of the speeds..... Hang in there. I'm still blown away.
Just this morning in another part of the "metropolis" (Cary, NC) 3G and 4G were so slow they wouldn't even stream Pandora. Crazy.

I wasn't aware that Sprint vision would improve Wimax...

Glad to see another Cary/Raleigh native on here! I live in Cary and have all but given up on 3g. I use my phone with wifi at home and can't even connect to 4G there. 3G speeds won't let me do anything.
I work in the BB&T building in downtown Raleigh and just tried a 3G speedtest. It errored out with Network communication issues. The 4G was pretty decent though - 4.8down and 1up.
Back when I switch to Sprint 2 years ago (Epic 4G), Wimax used to almost always give me about 5down and 1+ up. It's slowed down a lot since then. I am seriously thinking about switching to T-Mobile after my contract expires. I love unlimited data but if I can't connect to it then it does me no good.

I think because of the optimization of the back haul, all signals will see improvements on the network vision platform.

Raleigh Folk Here too!!
RDU is definitely not one of the first markets to get network vision, lol. We are in the second round of deployments, after the first round markets. They should begin network vision work next month here. Wimax is separate from NV so not sure why that speed has increased. But yea, I live in Cary and the speeds have dropped so slow lately that I have not been able to stream Pandora for the past two weeks. Really pisses me off because I'm a delivery driver and that's all I would listen to in the car lol.

A lot of people have been having trouble streaming Pandora lately. Maybe the network isn't the only issue?

Raleigh here too. Hopefully the upgrade is soon. About to move to Brier creek and it's always been crappy reception when I'm there.

I don't mean to burst any bubbles here, but I'd reach 10mbps+ all day long in Orlando, FL when I had my EVO 3D.

That's because my $10 per month 4g fee was going to upgrade your network.

I would agree with you but me and others have found that it works perfectly on wifi, but not on 3g

I wasn't specific enough. I meant that people seem to be having trouble streaming over 3g recently no matter what part of the country they are in. Unless the entire network is laying an egg (entirely possible since we are talking about Sprint), it seems more than network related. Plus, people have mentioned that they have been able to stream other music apps, just not Pandora.
I would guess it's due to people leaving sprint 4 other carriers

Wait, 4g is supposed to not go over 4 megs?

I think most of you guys keep forgetting 4g isn't controlled by Sprint, it's Clear, there are many other things on the 4g network, but idk what you guys need these speeds for anyway, 1-3megs will do everything just fine in terms of mobile internet, need something faster use wifi, don't complain about the 3g and 4g service, just be glad you have internet period

I'm in Raleigh, NC supposedly one of the first for network vision upgrades. They must have finished Orange County, CA as we were next. Nothing at my house yet (still terrible speeds) but hanging out this morning near NCSU near down town, where 3G and 4G were terribly slow.... BLAZING now.
3G: 1.5mbps down/800kbps up
4G 10.7mbps down/2300kbps up
Holy smokes.... That's LTE speeds. And they said WiMAX would never get above 4. I ran the test 3 times. I thought I was on WiFi...
That's with full 6/6 bars 3G and 2/3 bars 4G
So those of you sick of the speeds..... Hang in there. I'm still blown away.

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!? LTE speeds are 50+M down and 12+m up!
Visalia CA I've literally seen 2.2mbps on 3G. Also 8-12mbps 4G

I think people are complaining because Sprint consistently ranks at the bottom in all major markets in 3g and 4g speeds by a huge margin. It's not even close. But they are cheaper and have unlimited data, so it's not all bad. But 3g speeds should not be barely faster than dial-up!
