The only time I can use 4G is when I'm at work; which is on a Verizon repeater which limits and distributes equal bandwidth to all users.
So all I use it for is netflix, skype, youtube, and to download ROMs.
What does everyone use their 4G for?
How much GB/month do y'all people average?
I get worried about them seeing how much I use during some months
Uhh, being fast? When I use my iphone it's painful how slow 3G is.

I have 4g at home and barely 3g at work. We just got 4g in my area about 2 month ago so its still kind of slow. The speeds are anywhere from 5-25mbps. I use it for everything, downloading ROMs, movies music. I average about 10-15gb a month. Its faster than my home internet so I barely use WiFi Anymore.

Just for some downloads and youtube. Otherwise I don't find it necessary at all.
I use it because it is fast.
Why suffer through 3g when you have 4g?
I always use it whenever it is available, I don't see a reason not to. I usally get 5-40Mb/s down on 4G, and 1-3 Mb/s down on 3G.
I usually average about 12-15 GB a month.
Pr0n. Lots and lots of Pr0n. lol
Srsly though. i WOULD like to use it for netflix (at least 10-16 movies a month) but i cannot because i am capped with 4 gigs.
cant use pandora anymore because thee amount of music i listen to (added up monthly) would well surpass 4 gigs. so really i cannot see the point in 4G other than a couple youtube vidz and web text browsing. Just sayin! dont get me wrong, The faster the better. its like getting a tablet with 3G or 4G service and your plan is capped to 2 gigs a month. so whats the point?
4g isn't fun if your not on unlimited anymore. I only had 4 GB a month and used it up in 2 days. So I switched lines with my gf cause she barely uses 100mb.

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 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"?

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.

The "new" 3G map looks like the old 3G map for my area..it says I'm fully covered for 3G but my data speeds suck.....

I will get those speeds either late at night or early in the morning. Any time during the day when people are actually using data and im around 300kb. Do another test and see what you get.
I use to have 19 upgrades to be now I have 15 yay LTE is almost complete

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.
