How fast is verizon for you? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

I was wondering what people were getting as far as mbps with Verizon in their area. Like what is the highest you have got. I was using my wifi and did a text this one day and got like 10. Something and I wanted to try my data on Verizon. I was very shocked to see the speed on got seeing as how I wasn't at one time get any more then maybe 10mbps. Well I was so shocked on what I got that I took a picture to show people and wanted to see if anyone got around this or more or close to it.

I usually get about 24Mbps down and 15 up. There are some small spots here in Detroit that I can get up to 65 Mbps down.

Here's my most recent. Which is actually higher than usual. I'm in Portland Maine

12 up wow. Crazy

The sad thing is, this is much faster than the internet I have available where I live.

I typically get around 10 down and up, that sometimes fluctuates.

Slow data speeds.

I didn't want to put this in the Dev section even though it might become a dev thread. Basically I have been conducting several tests throughout the past few weeks I have has my phone here is what I have found. (Units for speed tests are from speakeast.net/speedtest so whatever the units there are is what I am referring too)
my average down speed is around 5 down. Peaking at around 8-8.5
It is common for me to get more in the realm of 3-4
I have an infuse as well and the average speed on it is around 10 peaking at 14.3
I have tested and tested over and over swapping sim and running test withing the same few minute time span and I kept swapping to try and rule out network load errors. I have also tried at almost every hour of the day. when I wake up when I go to bed, late night etc. Also in the same location. I have done everything I can to try and rule out something other than the phone itself. I even tried a different GSII and I got the same results. As for ROM I tried it with everything. UnNamed, Cognition, serendipity. I am beginning to think either AT&T capped the modem like they did on the captivate. Or there is a problem with the phone itself. I would love to hear everyone else's results. (State if you are in a HSPA+ area or not) and if there are any devs looking into this and I am willing to help with testing. I am no dev unfortunately.
If anyone has suggestions or wants any more information let me know.
I'm in an HSPA+ area, according to att. I'm in Salt Lake City, Utah.
The best I have seen is 3 down. That was on my SGS II. Best I saw on the captivate in the same area was just over 2.

My average download is 7-8 on my attix I would get 9-10 hopefully an update will come out soon to fix this if it even is a problem

Nvm, post does not pertain to actual purpose of the thread.

Well so far I can't tell too much of a difference other than I'm having greater fluctuation of 3g speeds. 3g service is holding constant though. I live in an urban area and I still have the occasional 1x service, and like you said, this was not so on eclipse. I'd like to run more speed testing later as well. I will edit this post with screens of my tests. There is was a substantial difference in the fluctuations than normal.

I'd like to hear. I've had connectivity issues in my area as well is why I figured I would try. Even in an urban/suburban area.

In my rural area I don't have many towers to select from. I thought if I could see if it works well in a rural area I might find a pattern. There is probably a few towers around your area since its urban so I thought maybe its making yours jump towers alot. I did speed tests about noon and I found it was consistantly 1.5-2mbps download. More so then that or swapping back and forth from 3g to 1x I was finding I got rid of my data hangups. That was the main issue for this mod.
I just did this yesterday so I'm still trying it out for long term results

Well, I'm in the same boat as you. It seems to me I have more than my share of data hangups. I'll give this a try for a few days and let ya know if it helps any.

Its cool I edited the post more I didn't think about how I worded it...sorry
I think 1x often is more cuz of the network. Have u tried *228 to update your prl *22899 auto updates both option 1 and 2 in the *228 menu but doesn't verbally say its updated when done but your screen will
Sent from my Cyanocrack using Xparent Blue Tapatalk
Just updated. I've never hung around to even hear option 2 lol. Usually when I have to do this there are new roms or some problems to attend to.
I'm going to edit the previous post away

Option 2 updates prl (preferred roaming list. Good thing to update once in a while

I have found that so far I had decreased data hangups with this but speeds fluctuated a lot like Caden experienced.
Doesn't look like I can get anyone to duplicate my results. Editing out of op. Trial concluded. Thanks to those who tried it

I am using this and the 3g speed hack (used 10) all is good. 1500 k on speedtest depending on the nearest cell.
Thanks.
Try the mod in the dev forum....different lib but sounds like you have a good thing going
That's the 3g I ment. I live 3/4 of a mi from a Hub.
Edit What num head I WAS ON WIFI @ 2.5 MIPS!
That's 1.5 mips TO 1.7 mips on 3g.
I was trying out the task bar at the bottom - that is my excuse !

New leak

first off is the new leak the actual official because I think it could.be for several reasons. 1. My.phone is no longer a personal hand warmer 2. My phone gets 4 bars average instead of 2 bars and I live in a very very hig populated area 3. My phone does a full boot.in around 40 seconds as opposed to 80 ish. 4. The screen animations and transitions seem much smoother and such. 5. The battery life is now insane.
Post your thoughts on the new leak if you have it.
By New leak I.mean the May leak.

my moms bf works for verizon, and he said the newest leak is the official ota from what hes been hearing. just thought i would put that up there. im also loving this update. smooth as butta. not one thing is wrong! amazing battery!!! amazing signal! and my cpu isnt jumping up and down like a damn pogo stick.

how is your wifi?

i have like a 5 year old wifi router but it seems to be only okay on the galaxy s3. i get fair connection most of the time in my house (especially the third floor). anyone else see it not be spectacular?
Signal is fine. There seem to be some sleep issues though.
Put WiFi on its fine. Everything is speedy. Let phone sleep and come back and it works but is definitely slower like its connected but takes a fair bit longer to pull stuff up. Almost like packet loss but once it starts pulling stuff down its fast just takes a bit too long to spool up. Shut WiFi off and put it on and is fixed.
I'm using an older wrt54 which I think only had 2.5ghz. I've tried setting it to just use that but same results. Wpa2.
I heard the wifi connections on the SGS3 were kind of lacking, but happy to report that it connects fine to my router.
I have a Linksys E3000 Dual-Band Router.
Just fine, no issues at all. Usually pulling down about 25000mbps on average.

I seem to get good speeds but the signal strength indicator is always at 1-2 bars I have not once seen it get to full bars and on rare occasion I get 3 bars. This is in a location where my laptop gets full bars.
Works great on my end.

May I ask, what kind of work you do?
I would say, being the geek I am, 4-5 hours of on screen time is logged in per day. That's been the rough average since I've had this phone for only a week.
During the week, 2-3 hours at most. Weekends, anywhere from 2-10, depending on what I'm doing that day.
I'm using my gnote2 all the time. Whenever my hands are free, my phone is in them. Its a lot of phone to learn as stock but now that its rooted I got double the stuff to play with on this bad boy. I quickly got used to the size and now every other phone is tiny and mine is normal. I honestly feel my hands have gotten bigger. Lol. I love this thing

Way too much time. Think I'm addicted. Used to come home and then use my nexus 7 but now that I've got my Note 2, i rarely use my tablet anymore (or my home computer). This phone does practically everything i want. A major time killer

Until this weekend about 2-5. Now that I got the MOGA and MC4 I've been playing about 7-9 hours at least.
