What a time we live in where someone is questioning if consistent 50+ dl and 20+ ul is good enough. I have yet to get those speeds in my area, I got 36 down and was stoked.
Just be happy knowing that your phone pulls faster speeds than most people's home Internet and known that you have more speed than you could actually need on a phone.
Man I remember being excited for 3g on my g1 after using edge on my dash for so long...

Is 50mb/DL too slow? ;P

Maybe this might help... With sprint moving to T-Mobile tomorrow

Here is ATT in Orange County the 5Mbs is in Irvine and the 6-7Mbs are in Buena Park area. These are on my ATT S4 on LTE. Pretty much SUCKS due to overcrowding on ATT network around here

Good speeds , but to bad they we're taken late at night when most people are sleeping of course the speeds going to be higher
Try taking speed tests around 9am and 6pm see what you get I bet money those speeds are cut in half due to the traffic on the network

sorry all i asked if they were good speeds becouse i bearly change feom sprint to tmobile that was all now i know that my speeds are great. and during the day im able to pull out 42 mb and 17 upload

Anything north of 20 down and 10 up AND ping less than 50 is excellent.
Ping has more impact on general data usability.
T-Mobile in the past had good speeds but crap ping(150+) and it sucked(hspa+ days)

How do I make my vrizon s5 faster it's slow

[Q] Data speed

So I don't know about anyone else but I downloaded and ran speed test on my Amaze but I couldn't even get a full megabit per second. Angular experiencing this? Is it just the app? Or is it my phone?
I get around 4mb, varries on where you are try moving closer to a 4G cell tower

Here are a few speedtests taken with my Amaze (T-mobile) in the Jersey City, NJ area
Wasn't me!! I didn't do it!
I was in a 4g city yesterday and got 250kbps. at home way out in the country I was getting my normal 1mbps. Today I am in Santa Barbara, CA and am getting 13.7mbps!! Wow! seems very erratic.
I had a question does sim card affect this too? I'm using a dang old sim card it doesn't work with the wifi calling on the amaze I was wondering how to go about getting a new sim card... I have two but they were for other upgrades not my phones so i dunno how to set this up exactly can I use those sim cards or?

You didn't get a new sim with your phone?? You can always call tmobile or go into one of their stores and get the newest card. Just tell them your old one is worn out. You should have gotten a new one though in the upgrade box...I did. Did you find the user manual in that little compartment in the top of the box? That is where the new sim card is as well. Mine didn't work with the old card so I put the new one in, called tmobile and activated it. everything works now!
Well I didn't buy the phone new through tmobile hence the not getting a new sim card but okay thanks I'll have to do that

Didn't either dude, but the problem is the dang throttle, but I'm extreamly happy with T-Mobiles 4G. Best out of all IMO, as my friends on AT&T are constently looking for Wi-Fi or turning off sync, then my friend who has a HTC Evo 3D is pissed because his 3G speeds are around 1Mbps and his 4G WiMax is around 5Mbps. And now Sprints switching to LTE Really lame, only one I haven't heard about is Verizon, but I know they have data caps, so I'm pretty stoked to be on T-Mobile.
My friends Thunderbolt averages about 20 mbps If not more.

LTE in Miami

Good morning guys. Woke up to find my phone found a LTE signal. Speeds were not that great but I don't expect it to since it just went up and it is probably in testing.
I just got some very fast speeds too, but my 4G icon doesn't say LTE

To above poster: I get faster than that on HSPA. You're not on LTE.

Is it average speed or one of good ones? I am planning to purchase int'l version and use it on ATT and I will be happy if I can get that speed on HSPA+.
I would say that is a good result for me, but I have seen other users with about 5 MBPS down also.
It also really depends on where you are. I live in a really hilly area so my reception can vary quite a bit. With that said, the lowest I've seen on this phone is 2mbps which is still good enough for me since I have unlimited data.
As for your pending purchase of this phone, I would do it all over again!
i've been getting b/t 3 and 8mb down on hspa/hspa+ in the los angeles area.
while it's a far cry from the 18-23mb i get on my LTE phone, it's more than adequate for internet browsing and what i basically use my phone for.

LTE speeds - Post em here!

My area just got LTE turned on last Thursday...which prompted me to by the OG. Post your speed!

My speeds are pretty much not even LTE. In fact I was getting just as good speeds with my non-LTE Atrix 4g. From my bedroom I get about 1mbps and the upload...well if it registers at all I get 300kbps. Admittedly I get terrible terrible reception here even on my old phone. At my grandmas house where I get 3-4 bars I got up to 8mbps per second on one or two tests but often it was around 3mbps. The upload there never got above 600-700kbps. I live in Orange County, CA so maybe there are so many users that that's just as fast as we get...or maybe it's this phone. I dunno yet. Gonna try it at work(Disneyland) tomorrow and see how it works.
I attached a txt file with my tests...on most of them it says HSDPA, dunno what that even means.
Sounds like you do not have LTE in your area yet. The signal icon on your status bar will say 4G LTE if you have it.

But we do have LTE, it says on the coverage tracker that we do and my dad has the HTC One X and he gets LTE. Now that you mention it though it says 4G at the bar at the top of the screen and not LTE. Is it supposed to say LTE?
Yes it does say it right under the 4G. Go back and look at some of the screen shots. If you are both on At&t you should go to the store because you should have it also.

I don't know the AT&T network but on Rogers, Bell & Telus in Canada you need to specify an LTE APN. The HSPA/+ APN you have configured by default with your SIM probably won't support or recognize LTE service speeds, and even my 'LTE network' microSIM didn't import this automatically, I had to manually input the APN.
33/1.9 I wonder what's up with my upload speed.
