Dam I remember having T-Mobile a few years ago and the network speed was OK. But not great. Then had to switch to Sprint and after having Sprint. Dam Sprint is a joke. Don't know how they say they even have 4g or 4g Lte. Never got anything above 9 mbs. Now I am back with Tmobile and what can I say. They rock. It's like Comcast speeds on my Galaxy S5. I am very impressed. And it's unlimited. What more can you ask for?

Wish I got those speeds on lte with t-mobile I am lucky to get 12 megs down and I get around 5 megs up I had around 14 - 20 down with sprint and same upload speeds most of the time I get just as fast 4G speeds with t-mobile as a do with lte sometimes faster with 4G

Can't believe how bad Sprints network is. Even the calls sound horrible. I'm very happy to be back with Tmobile. Plus they have the best Samsung Galaxy S5 device. They didn't block the download booster. Plus for some reason my device didn't have any Tmobile apps pre-installed. Not even a tmobile boot screen.
My brother using his s3 gets better download speeds then me using my s5 on lte. I got 300 kB/s he got 1.2 MB/s.. I also feel I get throttled but have no way of proving it.

I get up to 56 in saint louis with tmobile but the average is about 30.. Not quite the 110Mbps i get with Charter but its faster than any of my freinds that use other carriers. I was using att not long ago and averaged 12mbps which sucked because i get that on Tmobiles HSPA+.

Yeah thats pretty damn good . I max out at about 56 here in saint louis with an average of 30 .. All in all that is way better than what i was getting with ATT.. I averaged 13 here in saint louis with Att which is horrible considering i get that speed with HSPA+. Once they are able to build out more here it will improve but It really dont matter .. An average of 30mbps is more than enough for my uses plus i have a 100+Mbps home connection that i am on most of the time .

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.

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.
Guess we will be seeing the EVO 3D on the 850/1900 3G/4G bands soon which means AT&T 3G/4G on this bad boy!!

I hear ya. I left AT&T for the EvO4G and stayed bc I get a nice discount & wanted the E3D. My friend has the iPhone4 and we both did a speed test earlier...He was pulling 1.2mbps down while I was struggling to hit 800kbps. Then I was down on Jerome Ave in the BX where I had full bars of 4G and only getting 2.0mbps down. WTF?!?
If I give this phone back and use the money to cancel...I have no clue where I'll go. Between lackluster phones on other carriers and tier plains...It's getting out of hand!
*EDIT* Did I mention the iPhone4 doesn't even have HSPA+. Yea...it gets worse. Ridiculous!
lol fml... i gave up my unlimited data plan that ive had for 4 years on att to jump ship to spring SPECIFICALLY for this phone, then they do this. sprints service blows and now im going to be stuck with them for a while. if another good non sprint phone comes out i may just bite the bullet and pay the early cancellation.
just go now before your 30 days are up.
att would probably love to have you back.
eww with at&t prices..not even their DSL is good. i had to cut a tree for good signal..switched to time warner and i have had sprint for a longgg time like 9 years.
I don't know how your guys data sucks so bad I get far better speeds than anything ATT puts out. I also have a far cheaper unlimited plan than anything ATT can offer. My last speed tests at home had 2.1mbps on 3g an 10mbps down in 4G.
I've had ATT service before, ill never have it again. Their customer service, prices, and average local coverage just make them laughable to me. If you go that route good luck, because around my parts unlimited data doesn't exist and I'm not about to pay crazy overages. I easily use between 7 and 10 gb a month with out tethering.
With the dependency on data for these phones increasing any plan that limits your data is crazy.

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.
Maybe it just seems this way or I haven't tested with my GS4 in the same spots, but jesus, I can't get over 4meg down.. I always get 15-28 down almost everywhere I went and tested.. I'm gonna ask my dad to do a side by side with his note 2, if his is significantly faster, which I have a feeling it will be, I'm gonna have a bone to pick with T-mobile.. I won't accept this phone

I got some good speeds here in honolulu.
Here in the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area of North Carolina, T-Mobile's LTE download speeds are great (anywhere between 15 and 30 mbps), but no matter what, upload speeds will NOT top 10 mbps. Normally it'll jump above 10 then immediately go back down to somewhere around 9.5 mbps and stay steady there. No idea why, and it doesn't appear to be device-specific. It did the same thing when I had a GS4 GPE, and it does the same thing on my Z Ultra GPE. Makes no sense.
The same thing happened to me when I went from the S3 to the S4, it dropped about 10mb for a few weeks and then was right back up in the 40's and 50's. Now, coming from the S4 and now using the S5 I'm in the same boat, getting 28mb down and about 6mb up. I'm not really mad at all considering I just downloaded Wolf of Wall Street in 20 mins. Are we as consumers getting that impatient? I remember how stoked I was to see 3g when I had the original Mytouch.

35 - 40 here in Seattle.
I have been an ATT user for years - when the S5 came out, on a friends advice I moved to TMOBILE - when I got my S5 and started checking speeds in my house and near work - I was disturbed to see speeds less than 1/2 what i used to get on ATT - at first I thought it was my S5 but when I put the Sim Card in my NOTE 3 -I got the same slow speeds.
I canclled tMOBILE and went back to ATT and was pleasantly surprised to find that ATT Speeds were even faster than they had been before.
Last year, my average speed from inside my houuse was around 6-10mbps -not bad - closer to work I got awesome speeds - almost 30mbps at times - usually 22-25 - very respectible.
BUT, now I am getting 12 to 18mbps in my house - and even faster speeds near work, often clocking in at 35 to 50mbps - ATT seems to have kicked into overdrive here - (Milwaukee) - this is not a commercial for ATT - many of my friends swear by TMOBILE - but I guess they just didn't have the towers close enough to me to give me any real speed - while ATT has become a rocket ship for me - and my S5 is faster than any other phone I have had before -

No one in my office has an ATT LTE phone but we have many times done a speed test with all our of phones out at the same time and the Verizon users get 20-40mbps down and I would always get 20-40 down as well, the sprint person would get like 5 down lol (on LTE too). VZ upload speeds are usually faster that TMO but that really is not a big deal.
There is a difference in the network coverage but I'm not willing to get rapped by Verizons prices for a little better coverage, that is what wifi calling is for. And in an emergency now you can jump on most any network with these phones so that doesn't matter either.
Where i live I do have very good TMO coverage, I completely understand switching because you don't have good coverage at home, that is a big deal.

You're not alone, I live in the 205 area and only get 19mb at the highest. And 7 upload.... I am hoping it's just tower upgrades..... hahaha

Maybe it just seems this way or I haven't tested with my GS4 in the same spots, but jesus, I can't get over 4meg down.. I always get 15-28 down almost everywhere I went and tested.. I'm gonna ask my dad to do a side by side with his note 2, if his is significantly faster, which I have a feeling it will be, I'm gonna have a bone to pick with T-mobile.. I won't accept this phone

Something is wrong.. When I was in brooklyn, I was getting 25 down average, in the city I was getting 40-50, was insane.. I'm the OP for this thread and I was worried because I kept doing a speed test and wasn't normal. I just moved into a new place and it just seems to be where I'm at. I see almost 10 or more wherever I go.. the truth is , anything over 4 down and it doesn't matter anymore. besides downloading, videos and all other data required things are just as good if I was getting 4 down or 400 down,
Hey! I have had a rough winter with money and Sprint kind of dumped me after 7yrs of service with no issues with me paying the bill! Anyway I just got this phone recently and hate for it to be a paper weight or media player only so I wanted to know if I have any options other than the Sprint network? I am not a complete rookie I have it rooted and running Barepop at the moment so any advice, help, or info would be greatly appreciated! I hope I don't make anyone angry by posting here. Thanks!
Well it depends if you are ok with like 3G-4G i use t-mobile prepaid some times I went to walmart and got a sim kit for $35 I got unlimted call text and like 5GB's of LTE. Sadly though you cannot get LTE because the phone does not support the LTE but I get like 15 mps 4G and like 10 mb 3G witch is still faster then sprint's LTE and 3G combined. You will have to flash a GSM rom from the android develoment thread right now there is no GSM unlock on for ZV8. You could also try simple mobile I just recomend you go to walmart and look around the celluar area they have a couple sim kits.

lol you have to be kidding right!!!
15Mbps is faster than Sprints LTE and 3G combined???
Check out the screenshot and mind you I am not too close to a lte tower. i had like 3 bars when i ran this test.
33Mbps your 15 dont even come close. And since sprint is one of the only carriers to pffer true unlimited date i easyly run over 20 gigs per month without slowing down.
Alls im saying is get your facts straight.
Wow guess your lucky most people complain about getting only like 10 mbps (sprintsucks facebook page)

that's the fastest I've ever seen a Sprint!! around here the fastest sprints I've seen are about 10mbps
Thanks for the info!
I am pretty sure I was getting about 25mbs DL speeds on Sprint here in Savannah but I can live with anything over 2-3mbs. I already have a Cricket account and Sim card but I am trying to figure out the best method to get it working on my G3. Cricket is now on the Att network so signal quality is decent and LTE speeds. Anyone who can give me a little guide to get it working on the Sprint G3 I would be VERY GRATEFUL!
my Galaxy Mega on T Mobile got near 40mbps here

He does have his facts straight what you are showing is Sprint's "Spark" LTE network. Their normal LTE network doesn't go above 12 Mbps even with full bars. You are lucky enough to be in an area where spark is enabled, most places don't have spark network enabled although sprint is rolling it out as fast as possible. Their overall speeds are very dismal (with exception of spark LTE).

Sorry I was unaware that there was a normal LTE. i thought Sprint LTE was all SPARK.
Guess i didn't have MY facts straight. :cyclops:
