I have not had the high download speeds over the past few days. Have done a bunch of speed tests, downloads speeds take off when the speed test first begins, then seem settle right around 5500kbs. This is true in my house (suburb of Chicago), and downtown Chicago. I was consistently hitting between 8000 and 14000 before. Anyone else notice this?
Mine dropped also. In STL. Was seeing ~7-10 down, 30+ up. Am now seeing 2-3 down, 25 up. 4g (of course), 2 bars.
I'm still getting the same 30-40mbps down in Fort Worth.

Still getting 33+ Mbit download here in Dallas, but it seems like upload speeds are capped for me (speedtest quickly climbs to 5Mbit, but then just hovers at around 5.1Mbit). 3-4 bars.
Also, funkybside: Don't use the Speedtest.Net App. The upload speeds are incorrect. Just go directly to the site in your browser (might need to switch the useragent to "Desktop") and test it there.
Still strong for me all over DFW.
I extremely rarely get faster than 6-8Mbps outside of Philly. Even tried if downtown was better over the weekend, but was the same
increased network usage? / more customers per tower?
just got 13557kbps down in a northern chicago suburb in a basement office with 1 bar of reception. gotta love LTE vs. worthless WiMAX

Verizion is still doing upgrades and testing on the software. No caps here guys... Just Verizion doing testing on bad times. They have also said they do encounter issues and notices leaks on LTE in which requires users to call if noticing connection dropages. Just something I might tell you all. I get 15 MBs download and 3 Upload. I keep calling them when I notice connection issues and they fix it within a day.

Just ran a few tests now, in the office, near the edge of our LTE coverage here in metro atlanta.
10mbps down, 0.5 mbps up, pretty consistent in multiple tests.
Not bad at all given I'm nowhere near downtown atlanta, and it's more or less "peak hours" of usage. Thunderbolt adoption here has been pretty solid too, so I'm sure there's no shortage of LTE users in Atlanta.
Can anyone who has the phone with 4G coverage post their results? If possible, include an estimate of what your evo 4g was getting before in your area.
Thanks!
Here is a result from inside my house. I am consistently getting between 7-8 Mbs down. I didn't have the EVO or even a 4G phone before, so I don't have any comparisons.
Edit: It won't me post links/pictures yet, so it 7.86 Mbs down and 1.50 Mbs up.
No images taken, but the difference is pretty minimal to me....
My evo required the rtsp proxies to be set to 0.0.0.0 to get full speeds (6-10 mbps in atlanta ga). But the EVO3D seems to be getting the same speeds even though the proxies are still set at the factory ones.

Boston 7679kbps down; 1453kbps up, with the og Evo I remember getting like 6 down and around 1000 up
i got 9700 d/l
and 1000 u/l
nashville, tn
I have no coverage at home and it connects but no bars at work. I haven't been to school where I have full coverage since I got it.
At work where it connects but no bars I get 2-2.5 down, on the Evo I got 1-1.5. Not much changed except the phone.
i try it in a bit when im at best buy here in my house my evo use to get 1 bar of 4g that was good enough for 4-5mb down and 700k up. the 3d wont even pick up 4g in the house.
I don't have 4G in my area yet (Milwaukee, WI) but i want to comment on overall radio performance. Cell & Wifi signal strength is noticibly better then the OG Evo. I have obersed better speeds overall and my Wifi signal is ALOT better. I'm thinking that with a bigger battery, HTC might have increased power to the radios for better performance or they just finally got the hang of the this SOC.
Jacksonville, FL
Here in Jacksonville FL over the past few days:
Downtown (San Marco area) average 8-9 down -- 1 up
Avondale/Riverside: 5.5-9.25 down -- 800-1 up
I got the 5.5 on a good signal but during a peak time I guess at 8pm
Much better then some of the worthless / expensive ISP's here.

In Gardena, I get 5-6Mb down and 1-1.5 up on 4G. Haven't run speedtest on 3G there.
At home in San Pedro, 4G is non existent and 3G isn't much better.

I live In Arcadia, west of Pasadena, outdoors on 4G, I get around 6-8 Mbps routinely. Don't check 3G cause I never use it. Indoors I'm about 2-3 Mbps.
I work in Marina Del Ray (hows that for a commute), the 4G signal is so-so... around 5 Mbps.
Culver sucks as far as signal. on the 10 freeway between the 405 and all the way to USC its pretty weak.

Thanks - that commute sucks - I'm usually heading to Pasadena for work. If I had work in Arcadia, I'd be going to Woodranch for lunch!
I am in fountain valley. I get 4-8 mb at home. It is amazing I get perfect service in one corner and I move it two feet the 4g signal starts crapping out, lol. on 3g I am between .75 - 2.0 mb at home, it just depends on the time of the day.
In Encino i average
3g
Down-1370
Up-694
4g
Down-7679
Up-1412
Ive noticed Northridge and Encino have the best 4g in the San Fernando valley.

I'm right next to you in Sherman Oaks but not getting anything close to those speeds. Did you do anything like reset your data or call Sprint to have them do a reprovisioning?
Got Long Beach on lock here. I average around 800-1300kbps on 3G. On 4G, its more like 3-5mbps.

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.

Got this bad boy earlier and im still getting adjusted to the screen size. Being my first AT&T 4G LTE device i wanted to put it through the paces. Did a **** load of speedtests and the mean is in the range of 8Mbps-10 and a few spikes above that. Being that this is a 4G LTE next generation network I'm a little disappointed there. My XYBOARD consistently gets over 15Mbps. Hell, my old HTC Amaze on T-Mobile even got ridiculous 15+ Mbps speeds on HSPA+. What's wrong with AT&T's network? No one is even on it yet.
I'm in SoCal, specifically the Long Beach area. I'm seeing other people get downright stupid speeds of 50+ Mbps. What's the difference between my area and yours? Is it possible that AT&T has done more work on certain areas than others? I really hope these speeds increase in the future. 8-10Mbps isn't much better than what I get on HSPA+.

It would be the back end is congested more then likely ... if that is LTE in your area.

I've never gotten under 30 in Orlando, with peaks of 56
im up in sacramento and dont get lte for some reason and att coverage map shows we get it here so not sure why im not getting it
Pretty disappointing speeds here in Los Angeles as well, hitting around 5-8 megs, on my thunderbolt I would rarely see under 12.
Is AT&T known to upgrade areas with better speeds as time goes on?

East Bay San Francisco in Danville/San Ramon getting 57+ down and 10+up when I go up on a hill in the middle of the valley. Normal LTE down on the street though is about 35+ down and around 6+ up. Usually have about 3 bars, but if you happen to have 5 then you will have the 50+.

Gone in 60 seconds.
That should be ATT's motto for their LTE service at those speeds with the caps.
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
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2
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.

In DC its been about the same. Im hoping these speeds stick for a whlie.
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

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.

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!
