JACKSONVILLE FL - slow data speeds - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

is anyone getting really slow data speeds in Jax FL ??? i used to be at 12-14mb/s on 4g and now it's like 3mb/s - maybe they are doing work on the towers again for LTE???
AnyBODY????

Yeah, my speeds are generally anywhere between 3-5 mb/s here. At work it's awful (near St. Vincent's South).

Y'all are lucky. I live in the best part of Fl, Broward/Dade county's or Ft Lauderdale/Miami and no lte at all no disrespect to where y'all live but this is party city out here and no lte is not cutting it. But I get at best 9.5 mbs down and 1.6 up on hspa, but usually 3mbs down on average I'd say. Sucks with 20's-40's out there in other places

[Q] It's T-mobile data faster than ATT & Verizon?

I had in my hands the opportunity of test the 3 companies
For T-mobile my Vibrant 2293 up 1094 down
For ATT IPhone 4 1235 up 724 down
For Verizon Hero 994 up 596 down
I Think the results speak by theyself
I'd venture to say it depends a lot on where you are, since carriers are always building out their networks at different rates in different places.

No one is on the network. If no one was on T-Mobile's 3G network you would be seeing 6Megs regularly on a 7.2HSPA device. I can also post up some 14Mbps+ speed tests from T-Mobile but these speeds are impossible with the devices used to get them..
Depends on the area. For example, here in Aurora sprint gets me 300 down Ans 500 up, very bad. Tmobile is fastest wrh 1.5mbps down and 600up. In Georgia, it's opposite.

Seeing all the DL speed in MB, I am assuming all your phones are rooted and lag fix installed? Thanks.
I fall right between Jax and Sav... I get overflow from both and as long as your ina good are TMO has the fastest serv... not the most reliable bc of all the switching from E to 3g..
But in this small town some 3g is better than no 3g but on bad weather days I have to switch to 2g only bc of all the flip flopping..

I live in Clearwater (Tampa Bay area) Florida and I can max out speeds on my G1 regularly. Tallahassee, on the other hand, has probably the worst data coverage I've ever seen for Tmo. It's a very rare thing to even see EDGE in Tallahassee.

PR 3G just went live too. Beggars can't be choosers.
Network speeds is a varying thing. Now if You go by what they tell you then Tmo is first with 21mbps, Sprint second with 10mbps, Then AT&T with 7.2mbps, and lastly Verizon with 1.8mbps or is 2.4mbps. Either way you'll never get those speeds well using Sprint I get close or more with their 3G depending on the day though.

Speedtest: Anyone else have the EVO 3D in Los Angeles?

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.

This is why i hate Sprint..

38kb a sec data.. i've seen it as low as 2kb/s
Service was full bars. One dropped as i was taking the screenshot..
Should have just kept T-MO. But the allure of 3D got me..
My parents use sprint, i use Verizon..
and Ive also noticed their speeds to be pathetically slow.
nice job sprint! lol
Funny thing is, the only time I EVER have issues with my 3G speeds are
1) At home when I can always use Wi-Fi
2) At school when I don't need 3G for much anyway
If the service in your area isn't enough for you, then you should switch to another carrier. I wish I could switch to Verizon, but they're more expensive and don't have unlimited data.
Here are my speeds, testing around in various places (school, my house, my girlfriend's house, etc.)

So the RTSP and HTTP changing them to 0 and 0.0.0.0 gave you worse speeds?
Sprint blows, i have the same issues in michigan with full bars. They are over congested in my area and don't seem to be in any rush to expand thier 3g network(or introduce 4g). At my other house i get low to average speeds though, also with full bars. IMO, you should never see speeds lower than 800 kbps with 3g coverage. Unfortunately, at my house on the east side of Michigan, the data is frequently between 400-800 kbps, though that is still much higher than the speeds i get when im at my apartment on the west side of Michigan.
keep in mind that the competition is almost always pulling 1500-2500 kbps in areas like mine.

Swyped from mah 3vo!
sprint is the only company where I can get the best service at my place. It all depends on locations you can have them but like a router for 4g 3g service in your house.
LOL at least you get "decent" speeds. On my old TP2 I was getting 600 kb now with the 3D I can't get past 32 kb on 3g. If it wasn't for Wimax near me I would be with big red.....sero plan helps. Seems like I got a fancy paper weight when I'm not in a WiMAX area...... Unlimited data so slow you can't use it.

Using iPhone 4s Micro sim with adapter?

I had the Galaxy S II a few months ago but was thinking of picking one up again, as I personally believe its the best Android on AT&T at the moment. Anyway, I'd like to swap between my iPhone 4s and Galaxy S II. I did this last time and didn't have any real problems except data seemed significantly slower on the S II? If I could pull 4-5 Mbps on the iPhone 4s I'd get 1-2 on my Galaxy S II. Of course this was with speedtest.net.
I was wondering if one is going to be using a "Data Unlimited for iPHone 4s" data plan if they'll have issues like this? I was told I would not since both phones are HSPA+ and the data plans are the same. Thanks
Try this.
If that doesn't work, chalk it up to the crappy radios Sammy decided to put in the Galaxy S2s.
I swap back n forth without issue. Like he said, crappy Sammy radio :/
Since this phone has a 21mbps radio what are some average speeds? I can get 9Mbps down on the iPhone 4s.
21mbps my ass. I once got an 8.89mbps, in Oklahoma of all places. But everywhere else I've tried(several cities in Texas, several cities in southern California, and a few places in the states in between), I've never gotten above 6mbps in a high signal area. Most of the time I get about 2mbps.

I get 10-12 mbit if i'm within line of sight of an AT&T tower. Even in areas of so-so reception I tend to get between 3-5 mbit. Upload is more variable, topping off at around 3 mbit, and usually within 1-2 mbit.
That's my AT&T experience in the Boston area. It's worth mentioning Boston is an AT&T test city, and our network up here tends to be kept in pretty good shape. Also, honestly, when do you need more than 5-10 mbit in a mobile setting? I guess it can help with tethering... But seriously. Anything over a megabit to a phone is already pretty sufficient for 90% of today's tasks.
I also have an iPhone 4s in my house as well, and usually it tends to get slightly higher reported speeds, but I've noticed the upload on the iPhone also tends to be more erratic than my GS2. In actual usage it's nearly impossible to tell the two apart. Except of course for that 4.3" SuperAMOLED+ screen...
YMMV.

The speed has nothing to do with signal strength. It has a lot to do with where you live. The higher population density, the slower the speed. You will get great speed if you live in the middle of nowhere (and still have 4G signal).
I did qualify it with still have 4G signals
I live in nation's captial and major hub for internet. And yet my '4G' speed is around 100kbps to less than 1mbps.

Did the same when I briefly loaned my GS2 to someone who's iPhone had taken a dive into a toilet. If you just line it up carefully, it stays pretty well put and worked flawlessly for me.
Due note that since the IMEI associated with the SIM's ICCID will have changed, AT&T might contact you regarding changing your data plan or whatnot.

I can attest to that.. When I was hunting last November out in rural Pennsylvania Mountains, I was pulling 10-12mbps (H+), but when I am in town at work, I barely get edge network speeds...
What modem do you have flashed? Go to Settings > About Phone > and look at the baseband version. That plays a part too... UCPLC5 seems to be the best so far..

Weird place for super fast 3g...

Just felt like sharing this because I find this very odd. Where I live I get about 1.3mbps which I thought was pretty damn fast for sprints 3g but right now I'm on a road trip with some friends and we stopped in Walcott Iowa and while still connected to the Chicago server in the speedtest app (closest server to my house) I just pulled 2+ mbps multiple times in literally the middle of nowhere haha fastest 3g I've had on sprint

That's because 10,000 other phones weren't using speedtest at the same time. You were in the middle of nowhere!
Rural towers where probably no one has sprint always work good. Or in many places Sprints edge of their coverage ends but on the past 8 years the city has moved outwards. And sprints network has not expanded like the other carriers.So the citizens don't use sprint in that area.

I was driving through Fenton Louisiana on my way back to see my folks when I decided to do a speed test. I was shocked and saddened by the results (6/16). I rarely ever get anything better than 100kbps here in San Antonio. God I hope I'm in range when LTE kicks in!

Juvenile giggle time, on 6/18 you got 69kbps haha. But back on topic, its weird getting like a decent speed on 3g and from what I've been hearing over at s4gru.com the 4g lte its stupid fast (in a good way) compared to the 3g speeds we are getting now. And then the network vision thing their doing should help with the 3g to eventually

I've noticed a speed increase out here in the bay area as well were I live I would usually averagearound 150 to 300 kbps but over the past week or so my speeds have averaged from 500 to 800 kbps hopefully its a sign of good things to come
I average around 1.5 mb/s in my smaller city of around 60k peiple
Yeah I got over 1 meg for the first time in a few months... They are probably firing back up some of the towers now

Happens to me all the time in Orange County, CA. Some times the pings are under 100ms too, Normally when I'm on the freeways is when speeds are best.
I just get those speeds @3am lol

It's probably because everyone who's been without power has no battery life left in their phones.
Hopefully they take care of them soon.

kingsville,tx has amazing 3g
I live in the boonies of North Georgia and get at least 1 meg, usually more. Funny thing is if you put my zip code on Sprints website it will say they don't recommend sprint for this area due to lack of coverage. There's no Sprint store for miles!

Lucky. I never get those speeds no matter what time or day it is.

I thought so too. There are few people without power around me now. Lets hope that Sprint just decided to play nice.
Consider yourselves very lucky. I had MUCH better speeds on my OGEvo. I live in Lexington, SC, right outside of Columbia, and we never had 4G, and probably never really will.
I have been getting decent speeds right outside of Philly
Charlottesville, VA here

Walcott, IA has one of the largest truckstops in the entire country. Imagine how much data is getting pulled down when 1,000 bored drivers are online.
