Anybody else notice the ridiculous speeds on this phone? I'm coming from an LG G4 on AT&T. The LTE speeds on that were never even half as fast as this is on AT&T.
T-Mobile speed's are slightly better than my Nexus6 with this badboy 6P!

I got about 70 mbps with ATT in an area that I only got 30 to 40mbps with my Note 3.
Im on tmobile and I'm actually having the reverse. I upgraded from a Note 3 and when I run speed tests in the same places that I did with my note 3, the 6p is on average 50% slower. Can't be because of the lack of band 12 because the note 3 didn't have that band. Hmmm
It seems Sprint just updated the network today. I'm in San Antonio TX, I've always compromised service for price but if this stays consistent then I'll finally have both.

My experience with the G3 was the radios were weak and slow on AT&T. Maybe the same goes with the G4

You got that right. Speeds suck for me too. I was with At&t and now with Verizon and they both have crappy speeds. NEO here.
Check out crazy speed I got on ATT here in socal orange county.
82 Mbps down
32 Mbps up
Sprint sucks.

No HSPA for Tmobile only EDGE for the DNA because Tmobile has to use 1700Mhz instead of 1900Mhz for UMTS...AT&T will get HSPA
Yes it will work, BUT, only in a select few cities that T-Mobile has already switched to 1900mhz. So I'd check if your area has switched to 1900 first or you will be stuck on edge.

I was using Solavei (MVNO of T-mobile) and in the video link below, you can see my SpeedTest.net test. From Houston as well, but towards the outskirts. My apt has about half the signal strength of surround areas for every carrier. Not a complete dead zone by far though.

My secondary phone is a Galaxy Nexus with the $30 prepaid plan from T-Mobile. I live in the Mundelein / Vernon Hills area of Illinois. If I run speed test on my Nexus right now (doing it as I type this) I get the following download results:
T-Mobile Galaxy Nexus:
1st Test: 7.2Mbps
2nd Test: 6.1Mbps
3rd Test: 4.2Mbps the third time. Kind of afraid of running it a fourth time the way it's going. . .
4th Test: 5.8Mbps
If I put my SIM card on the DNA (actually shows a H logo which I'm guessing is for HSPA) here are my results:
T-Mobile Droid DNA
1st Test: 3.7Mbps
2nd Test: 5.0Mbps
3rd Test: 5.4Mbps
4th Test: 5.0Mbps
Just for fun here are my results with Verizon LTE:
1st Test: 3.7Mbps
2nd Test: 3.162Mbps
3rd Test: 2.8Mbps
4th Test: 7.2Mbps
Normally I do get much better LTE speeds than that but that's what I got today. Just for the record, at no point did I change any settings anywhere, I just switched the SIM cards.

I was not aware they were switching to 1900 that is awesome, I might have stayed with unlimited Tmo that being the case...
"T-Mobile USA launched HSPA+ service in its 1900 MHz spectrum in 10 additional markets including Miami; Phoenix; San Francisco; Mesa and Tucson, Ariz.; Modesto, Oakland, San Jose and Stockton, Calif.; and Fort Lauderdale, Fla. The new markets bring T-Mobile's 1900 MHz HSPA+ footprint to 15 metro markets including the previously announced markets of Baltimore; Houston; Kansas City; Las Vegas and Washington D.C."

Yes works on mine, I bought mine on Black Friday, and I was able to get on AT&T with it today.
I am aware that they are not compatible but I have a question about the bands. So AT&T and Verizon use the same 700MHz but the bands are different. Verizon uses Band 13 and AT&T uses Band 4 and 17. Are the bands strictly hardware only? Or can you add a mod where it can pickup AT&T LTE?

Any news
In regards to lte in the Lehigh valley since the announcement from tmobile where they fired up all these other markets...idk wether to stay w tmobile or make the switch to AT&T or Verizon cuz I'm tired of having the slowest network at work (best buy)....
Coming from a galaxy nexus which had kinda meh 4G speeds, my 4G speeds on the N3 are insane.
I take my son to/from school every day and it's only about 3 minutes down the road. When I'm there waiting to pick him up in the afternoons I've been doing some speed tests. In that specific location I've been getting crazy speed readings. I tried a few diff servers with similar results. There must be a tower literally right there.
These are my two fastest results. The faster result is about 7 MEGABYTES per sec. That's pretty crazy. I pay $39/month for my home cable broadband, and that's only 10 Mbps, which is only about 1 MB/s. lol, sad.
It's not a false reading either. Just to confirm I downloaded a few apps, and sure enough a 13MB app downloaded in about 2 seconds.
Anyone else getting speeds like this??
Back before LTE was overloaded I got speeds like that. The one below is my fastest of all time. Just waiting for AWS to roll out now.

Back when I got my first 4g phone I got something like 40up 60down at SEATAC airport. About 40 and 40 at denver airport. Had to run the test a few times before I believed I was actually getting those speeds. Which brings up the interesting point of data caps and just how stupidly fast you can pass them with these speeds -_-
Eh, Speedtest timed out trying to find a server in downtown San Francisco. Is that the apps' fault or is something else awry?
Finally connected: 1.01 mbps down, .08 mpbs up.
Called the local corporate store in downtown SF, their service department is booked solid for the whole day...I wonder why.

No you cannot. The Note 4 only has 1 radio whereas there are 2 in the Note 3. That's why users that have the Note 3, such as myself, can be on a phone call and search the web at the same time on LTE. That is one of the reasons I have yet to upgrade. I actually use this feature a lot and Sprint did away with it in exchange for clearer voice calls and faster data speeds. I may get the Note 5 regardless if the specs I've read about come to fruition.

Actually all spark phones are completely capable of simultaneous voice and data as long as they're on the spark network. If only on regular 4G/3G then your statement is correct. I too made the uninformed mistake of upgrading to the S5 only to immediately switch to the best non-spark phone I could (note 3). Sprint says they had to remove the secondary radio that allowed simultaneous v/d due to the power requirements of the faster spark chips in order to conserve battery. Either way I don't have spark in my area yet so it was a no brainer to switch.
