I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but anything related to the internet is about 10 times faster today for me... I thought i had my wi-fi on until I read a post about T-Mobile's 7.2 rollout. I suggest you all check out your speeds.
Speed checked, maybe this had somethign to do with the service outtage the other night LOL
Speed Increase? Not here
I purchased my TP2 in part because T-Mobile's web site indicated full 3G coverage here in Centerville, Ohio. I've had the phone for a week now, and have YET to see the 3G connection on the phone. The E is all I ever see, and that speed has not increased since the outage.
Maybe your local tower was upgraded.

Engadget is reporting that none of their tests are showing the new speeds yet, so it does appear to be limited to certain markets at this point.
so how do i increse my network speed if i have a speed of 177 with 3g
T-mobil HSPA roll out
T-mobile has started to roll out HSPA 7.2 mb in all 3G network areas. Go to www.tmonews.com to read up on it. They are trying to get most of the network up by the end of DEC. HSPA is much faster than 3g...about 3x.

To have 177 you must have a poor RF.
Honestly, I have 5mbps over Wi-Fi and that's more than the TP2 can handle for browsing. It doesn't load pages much faster vs a good 3G signal.
well i got 544 now that i have hspa turned on
Damn, I am in seattle and I range from 500kbps to over 3kbps via mobilespeedtest.com
here in phoenix i can get 3mbps on the handset and up to 9.3mbps thering on my laptop i even started playing call of duty using ics and see little lag. i am debating on canceling my cox subscription. i noticed this the day after the data outage. i can post speed tests if you dont believe me
i shouldnt have spoke so soon i only could get a max of 8.7 just now but im only at 3 bars on h on this side of my house... ill run further tests later...
here is test on speedtest
here is test on bandwithplace

dsl reports did not work because it said m,y connection was too fast for a mobile speed test
That is very nice, considering T-Mobile had their HSPA network crippled at a 4th of that a few months ago.
Testmyiphone.com works well, but the TP2 never ever registers higher than 2.17mbps over Wi-Fi. There is a limitation or something happening there because my iPhone averages over 4mbps(Wi-Fi) on the same site/same connection. Nevertheless it's accurate - over 3G here I get about 600-700kbps so no upgrades have been put online here.
For testing I will run 2 different speedtest apps for data transfer speed, then I will use the stock web browser to test how long loading a full webpage takes.
Speed will be posted below as measured in mbps. Webpage loads will be measured in seconds.

I performed all of the 3g speedtests using the leaked android 2.34 EH17.
As you can see the results that I was able to achieve are really good.
I am located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and the 3g speeds over here
are usually horrible, but in this particular area I was able to get great results.
I will be performing another set of data testing near Baker, La.
Over there the 3g speeds are slow and unstable, and although 4g is
available in that area I will be testing as far as possible from the 4g tower to
find out which modem can perform the best with very low 4g signal.
Inspired by HafizNafes, I decided to try a few of these where I live as well, in Raleigh. Sadly, 4G is not available at my house. Using Airave for 3G tests, so included a WiFi to show speeds for comparison.

Looks to me like you are having serious problems with your data speeds.
Any thing less than 600 kbps on sprint network is not good.
I also have problems where I live but at least I am able to use 4g here in baker louisiana.

Unfortunately here in Greenville, SC, those data speeds are a fact of life, best I can tell. I would very much like to see someone else here in Gville post some data results that show different, but I dont know anyone personally here that has a sprint phone. It does not seem to matter what rom, modem, tweaks i use, those are the speeds I get. These test mirror tests I did about 2 months ago as well. Oh, and an added bonus, our sprint stores here are abysmal, staffed by idiots, and I have to pay 10 dollars a month for 4g that it is not available anywhere in the entire state. All this talk about not having a data cap or throttling on the sprint network is irrelevant for me, because without 4g and with 3g speeds like that, I could never reach a cap even if one existed. At least here, Sprint is a massive joke on all fronts, and I wish I had never signed a contract with them.
I think that sprint is broke and they cannot afford to serve reliable high speed data to all of their customers. Next time I complain to them im going to make sure I tell them that.
I dont know why would sprint spend $6 billion to start selling iphones when they could have used that money to go all over the country fixing their 3g. But they keep denying that something is wrong with their 3g and telling customers to make sure that their prl is updated, which means nothing if sprint acually had data towers in our areas.
Any data for the EI22 modem?
In the same area I pulled 2.2 mbps download and 1.0 mbps upload using the new modem.
but it was during the morning at about 8am.

This is So Ture i live in newton nj and still No 3g but Sprint Still Claims there is 3g in the area..... and with the new "PRL" surveys is Worst then Ever
I have a motorola photon now and 3g speeds in my home area are still less than 150kbps.
sprint should lower are bills until they can get their stuff fixed. Its not fair that we have to pay more than t-mobile users with such horiffic service.
however in downtown my 3g speeds are incredible. the same can be said for 4g.
EI22 modem.
3g: 2.5 Mbps download 1.5 Mbps upload 95ms ping
4g: 9.2 mbps download 1.2 Mbps upload 100ms ping
So I have a T-Mobile G2 and the 4g plan. I was wondering what type of data speeds everyone is getting. I've been averaging around 2-3 mbps (highest was 6mbps down).
I'm concerned because this is not 4g speeds (they should be 14 mpbs+ easily). My friend has a Verizon 4G LTE phone and he consistently averages 20+ mbps in the same area.
Also, I am using MIUI rom which may not support 4g so this could cause problems if my results are indeed low and others are getting higher data speeds.
all depends on the area your in. in riverside county, ca i average about 13 mbps
I'm living near UCLA/Westwood in Los Angeles and so far I am averaging around 2-3 mbps which seems to be low.
In phone status, it says I am connected to HSDPA network. I'm going to try walking around campus and see if I am ever connected to HSPA+ network and test my speed there.
I'm concerned that either I am not getting 4g speeds (which I am paying for) or my MIUI rom / CM7 kernel is somehow interfering (even though it shouldn't since my speeds should depend on the radio I have which is the newest one).
Also, is the G2 incapable of exceeding 14.4 mbps downlink? I ask because that is what I believe it was originally advertised for.
Any qualcomm smartphone doesn't have the ability to download faster than 14.4 Mbps. And LTE is just a better (in speed anyway, not battery life) technology.
Sent from my G2 running Cyanogenmod 7.
Correct, the G2 only has a 14.4 max based on the chip. Additionally, that is best case scenario. Depending on where I am at in the city, and the time of day (population shift during work hours), I will get 2-3 down, and in some areas as high as 8-9.
If I recall, anything nowadays still isn't true 4G as the standard for 4G is supposed to be 100+ Mbit. I don't see the need (for me anyways) to be pulling 10-15 down at any given time. I don't do major downloads via my phone (don't want to hit data cap) and it uses additional battery. I know some people require the higher speeds, but I really think a large majority of regular users just think "that has a higher number, it must be better". And before people may get mad with that comment, I don't necessarily lump XDA members as regular users.
Yes, I do realize we are no where near what 4G speeds should be, hence the reason why the technology is called LTE.
Ok, so I wanted to confirm that we are hard capped at 14.4 mbps because of the chip. Thanks guys!
Yeah I get anywhere from 3-5Mbps with good signal. After that when the cap hits data is practically useless. Can't even use the market or any kind of video streaming. Gay should be atleast 2G but its nowhere close to that speed. The cap is crippling me.

I would actually suggest downloading the 3G script from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15948434#post15948434
it seems like hokus pokus, but I swear, my 3G DL speeds were averaging maybe 2 mbps before, now it's up to 6! Not sure which will work best for you so you're going to have to try them all and use maybe the speedtext.net app
What do you guys get off WiFi network speeds? I've done several speed tests coming in at on average 1.5mbs... Says 4glte on top but damn..... Att was better than this.
4g or wifi?? 4g, in my area, verizon has been garbage lately getting speeds like 0.5mbps... outta nowhere tho they got better.. and now with my note they're even better than my g2..gettinf like 20 here
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 using Tapatalk.
i'm sorry, but mine are fantastic..
Just used the speedtest.net app and on wifi I got 22.58mbps down/2.43 mbps up and on 4G I got 76.62mbps down/34.97 mbps up. These were taken at my house and I never use wifi at home because why would I (still have unlimited data plan). And I live in Alabama!
I get about 12.3Mpbs at my house on LTE. Speeds arent really what concerns me because they'll always fluctuate depending on your location.
What I'm liking on this phone is how good the radios are. It seems to always have a solid signal and doesnt drop hardly at all.
I got 118Mbps with the download booster on the other day while downloading some language packs... 100mbps on wireless and 18mpbs on LTE.
The radios in this phone are excellent IMO.
My internet hovers around 84/86 mbps, I don't think my router support that speed so it hovers around 46/44 mbps. I have Verizon Fios 75/75. As for LTE it's around 35/15 in my area (D.C.).
On wifi i saw 19.30 up/down 25ms latency; on mobile 9.8 up/23 down with 58ms latency

Copying files across wifi, SMB fileshare. Note 3 - 3-5MB/sec (yes, MB, not Mbit). Note 7 - 500-700KB/sec. Both show similar wifi connection rates at 144 Mbit/sec.
Anyone else seeing crappy throughput on wifi?
No, mine is not that bad. I just did a speedtest.net on a 100 Megabit down 10 megabit up connection and got 50 megabits down (best the router will do in all honesty) and the full 10 megabits up. That roughly translates to 5 Megs a second down and 1 Up. I have read others complain about the speed though.
What app are you using to measure the speed?
I've got cox, pay for the premier package and its supposed to max out at 150mbps download and I believe 10mbps upload. Early mornings (2am or so) I see speeds on my 5ghz network (using an Arris SB 6141 DOCSIS 3.0 Modem and a ASUS RT-68P AC 1900 Wireless Router) well into the 190mbps range on my Note 7, highest I've had so far is 193mbps download. I consistently hit 10mbps upload but when it first starts out it pulls into the 25mbps range and slows down to the 10-13 mbps range upload.

Yeah lol the upload is nothing exciting, it's nice to see it jump into the 20+mbps range for about 10 seconds or so then throttle down around 10-13mbps. But I'm happy hitting over 150mbps later at night. But my Note 7 has been just as fast, if not slightly faster than my Note 4 was with throughput.
