4G: 1Mbps Upload cap? - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

4g is starting to roll out here(slc,ut), highest speeds I'm getting right now are 2.73mb Down and 0.99 mb UP, seems like those caps sprint was talking about are in effect, anyway to break them like you wizards did with the 30fps cap issue or is it because 4g is not officially released here yet?

What caps are you talking about? Look at one of the 4g speed threads, many have had much better results that your test above.

well i hope your right cause it looks like im capped at 1mbps right now, hopefully it improves when they officially roll out 4g in couple days

Hmmm, I've had better results before, but I don't get a 4g signal in my house. I'll test again when I'm out and about.

I get nearly 3 mbps unload and 8 down in atlanta

Sprint has openly stated they are capping 4g at 1mbps upload for now. The official cap is 10/1 though they may raise it at a later date.

My home cable internet is capped at 10/1
And my evo on wifi uses every drop of it, which is cool to see

You won't need more than 512 kbit/s anyways unless you are trying to torrent. The latency is too crap to play/host any online games anyways.

1 mbps Upload, Not bad at all
I work for a medium size ISP our fastest internet tier is 10.1mbps down with 1.0mbps up. So for 1mbps up on a mobile phone that is really good. I understand Comcast has 50x10 packages which is insane and awesome, but 1mbps on upload is really good, should be plenty fast

Wow im in Houston and NEVER got more than 3Mbps down and ofcourse only 1 up.

I am in Houston and I get an average of 8Mbps with spiked of 9.8Mbps down on my Evo over WiMax. Depending on my area, but they are still rolling it out it will get better

I have the 50/10 but Comcast is rolling out 105/15 within the next month or so here.
1Mbps upload is nothing... I've had 2 for ages.

Getting 0% on a multiple choice test is as hard as getting 100%. Consecutive perfect 1.00Mbps uploads are just that, a solid proof of throttling =P

That is TERRIBLE speed...

Using Ookla's SpeedTest app, I could only get 2.5 down/0.6 up, without having moved the phone *at all*.
Mobilespeedtest isn't accurate. The speedtest.net app is the one that you should trust.

So what type of upload speeds should we be getting, is the phone HSUPA compatible? With all this talk about the Atrix and it's upload speeds, it makes me wonder if I am getting cheated out of faster upload speeds. Thanks for listening.
Never seen more than 5mps dl and 4 upload. In las vegas, no more than a mile away from a 3g listed tower. Phone shows -71dbm when I tested just outside of my house and looking in the direction of where the tower is.
My wifi gives me almost 9mbps second down and 4 to 7 upload. (I don't pay for the really fast speed service at home)

I'm in Seattle and got 1159kbps on mobilespeedtest. But I got 3005kbps on speedtest app. My average at home is between 2.5mbps and 3mbps on speedtest app and speedtest.net tethered. I don't know about that mobilespeedtest. The first test gave me 700kb, the second 1159 and the third 2186 within 2 minutes. Speedtest.net has always been more consistent than that for me, and pretty comparable to my other go-to, integra.net (also Ookla FWIW though.)
Chinly43 (or anyone in Seattle): Hope you don't mind if I pick your brain about the G2 in Seattle. I tried to check out your posts but am unclear if you found a good radio, or other solution, that gets the G2 to stop freaking out while traveling around the city? Does yours freeze up and lag? Are you getting dropped calls? Can you tell me what solution worked for you? I am in Northgate but problems started in Bellevue and also the University area while on the bus. At home my data flickers into H+ intermittently but remains on 3G 99.9% of the time. Thanks for any advice you can give.
hit 7 mbps the other day in houston. BUT i was never to replicate it.
I feel that HSPA+ is a myth. Any time I have looked at a tmousa 4G phone's mobile network type to see which network it is connected to, it ALWAYS says HSDPA. Can anyone tell me if it ever says HSPA, HSPA+, or if it is just supposed to say HSDPA?
The most i could get in Italy with speedtest.net was 6.07Mbps down and 3.14 up... even though I think the carrier's network just supports 7.2, hopefully in a few months it will be upgraded to 14.4
The most I've ever seen in Orlando was 8mbps dl, maybe 2mbps ul. On average though I get less than that, depending on the area I'm in.

[Q] Typical Verizon LTE Speeds? Mine just can't be right... (it's effing FAST)

Ok, just got my Galaxy Nexus today after defecting from AT&T when they throttled my download speed for being in the top 5% on an unlimited plan, even though it was LESS THAN 4GB. (when I say throttled, I mean from typically 8-10Mbps to around 3-5Kbps... KBPS!) So I said, fine AT&T, I've been drooling over the nexus anyway, peace be da journey.
...but I digress...
After playing around with things, downloading apps, familiarizing my self with the wonderment that is ICS, I decided to do a speed test (ookla/speedtest.net):

Is this typical?? Did I just happen to be standing in an LTE vortex of some kind?? I didn't think it was supposed to be THAT fast...sheesh. Either way I'm lovin this phone...
LTE is indeed that fast. By far the fastest network. I regularly get 25mb/s down in Chattanooga.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
In Portland, OR I usually get 32 MBPs Down and 15 MBPs Up. My slowest speed test ever was 12 MBPs with 1 bar of 4G.
Welcome to the best network in the country, you get what you pay for!
That's definitely on the fast side, but yea its usually at least 15 Mb/s
I have gotten more
I have gotten 57mbps!
Yeah it is pretty fast

See my Sig... It's FAST!!!
I usually use 3g but 4g here is always well in the 20s mbs.
I would say
Slow lte is about 10 mbps
Average is 25ish
Fast is 35 and up.
My best was 48 mbps.

I've seen quite a bit of those speeds in New York. When I visit the city, I constantly get 50mbps. In South Jersey, I get about 20mbps. Not as fast, but more than enough considering the tower I'm connecting to is the one in Philadelphia. Really great how much range the towers get.
Mid 20's to mid 30's is about average from what I have been seeing.
Still trying to break the 40 Mb/s mark.
Maybe I should try it while I'm not downloading stuff in the background?
I get around 40-50mbps down and 10-20 up around campus/downtown, but at my apartment its usually between 10-20mbps and 5-10 up. Downtown=4 bars, my apartment = 2 bars.
Ya I get fron 20 to 40 down. It makes me laugh, ATT is throttleing their already slow network. Thats like taking a tricicle and adding an anchor because its to fast.
ATT dumb ass's. I hope everyone quits them.
Wow, some fast speeds in here! The fastest I've seen on mine is 11Mb up, 11Mb down. At home I get around 8Mb down if I stand in the right spot, but usually around 4-5Mb, so I just use my home internet. I haven't tested in a lot of places though, so maybe there are some faster areas around me.
My average is 20mpbs up and like 12 down in Worcester Massachusetts
Damn those are some fast speeds, I only get like average around 15 in the OC with my max being around 23-24. Still, that is pretty fast compared to typical 3G speeds.

Very slow speeds

Can anyone help me figure out why my download and mainly upload speeds are so slow? I'm approximately 1/4 mile from the tower and it is line of sight without any obstructions. Radios are the leaked 4.0.4 radios and speeds were basically the exact same with 4.0.2 radios. Nothing else was running and the server is about 30 miles from here. Also, I had full bars for 3g and two bars for 4G when I tested.
Top four results are 4G and second four are 3G.

I am guessing only a Verizon tech who can look at the tower can help you there. Anything else will just be a guess.
Mine is pretty bad too around the same as yours during peak hours...I think its due to over saturation at work...in the morning I get around 600 kbps...

Oops forgot this one
here is mine.
Oversaturation? VZW has so many data hungry grandfathered customers on LTE - that plus their aggressive marketing = lots of people using once-50MBps LTE now slowing it to HSDPA+ speeds?
We must work at the same place then. I don't really notice a slow down after most people leave but I'll run a speed test tomorrow evening to see if there is a difference. Btw today around 1030 I got around 30 down and 30 up, kbps.
Here is a screenshot from then.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
Still crappy speeds even with less than 3/4 of the work force here today. So I'm thinking its something other than way too many people hitting the same tower.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
Network saturation is a *****. Head over to the throttle thread and listen to all the people there tell you how all the heavy data users have no impact on you. The good thing is at least Verizon is proactive about their network and will likely add capacity soon. I'd certainly consider complaining a bit to them though so they know its a problem.

[screenshots] speedtests

so i just want to begin posting a few random tests ive ran on my phone under different loads and conditions, feel free to post yours too if you like to keep track and refer to it later in the future.
i offer a challenge
who can fully saturate their most possible bandwith?
w/ concurrent bitcasa upload, Calkulin's_Stock_Rooted_De-odex'd_FC18_ROM_v1.0.zip61.5 kB/s - 72.9 MB of 318 MB, 1 hour left
on windows 7 wifi to 4g hotspot & whatever else my phone might be doing w/ its screen off
I will WIN!
Let me fetch my screenshots of fame.

Well crap I guess I have to crawl up to Cago and hook an N router into my server. Though does the E4GT do 2x2 if not all you will get is 150 Mbps tops.
My web server when it was in NY:
Now in Chicago:
Dont ask about the distance... well ask internap lol it had some NY to DC tests ~50 miles well shorter than they really were.
If only I could get some 1 Gbps home fiber to a decent backbone, that would be sweet.
My Phone at home, work, or burger kings drive thru take your pick:
Old versus recent
So are we going to do anything with these or should I just give a universal "Cool story, bro."

Pretty sure I win. And I'm in the city. Lol.

it dosent sprint only rates it at 6 megs or something stupid. maybe at the end of the nv roll out it might improve
or not because you took thoes speed test with decent db and probally little to no tower load on the lte core
you do realize this should be part of the sticky on top

Sprint came out as fastest lte in recent tests. I would say partly due to low loads. It's 6-8 average and 25 peak. I'd say just fine enough speeds for a cell phone.

speed test made and skewed by sprint?
do you know what the others are rated at?... there a reason why sprint rates that low cuz their user load will be crazy and slow to a crawl like the last couple years.
also they have inferior spectrum holdings /backhaul ( there using microwave in some places) and from my personal experience they are rarely/ never pay to be at the top of a tower
atts hsdpa is capable of 6 megs not to mention their lte is faster + 800 coverage has been around for a while for them ill be lucky if i ever see 800 coverage in st pete.
... just simple facts not knocking ya or anything ( or sprint for that matter)
im happy with them finally after backhaul to my tower by my house got installed finally see over 1 meg some times on cdma altho nv/lte is not complete
Please discuss LTE in the sticky thread
Thanks
