Upload/download speeds - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I looked for the answer and didn't find anything on here. My download speeds are about 2-6 Mb's constantly but my upload speeds are always .2-.4 mb's. I was just wondering if anyone might know the cause behind this? Its not really an issue but I was just curious about it. Thanks

[Q] T-Mobile throttled me... sort of...

ok so i got a text message from tmobile yesterday morning saying i have been throttled because of the amount used... ive been throttled before and have had speeds of about 56kbps but this time my speeds have not been slowed down. has anybody else had this happen to them? im running cm7 and i did recently change the radio a few weeks ago to fix the gps issue my current speeds are
2.98mb download
1.54mb upload
those are the speeds i usually get here in this area and i have used 5.51 GB of data
I guess nobody huh

Curious as to what radio you are using and are you always on 3g/4g? We don't get it here so I just wait until I go to work where they have it out there

Even if they do, just switch to edge only networks. Not to be rude but this (exactly what your talking about) has been gone over a lot. There are people, you just gotta search and find it.

12.50.60.24U _26.08.04.16_M that's the baseband for it I don't really remember what thread I got it from and I always have it for 3g only even though its been more than 24 hours since I got the throttled message my speeds are still fast

[Q] is anyone else experiencing slower 3g speeds on ek02?

Just updated OTA to ek02 and am experiencing slower 3g speeds... with and without the tweak. Anyone else noticing this or is it just me?

For me with update, 3g is same, but 4g is almost double.

If they get any slower they'll stop completely (at least for me).
Sprint is so slow anyway that o havent noticed anything yet

I am really curious tho as to which modem is the best out of all of these

I'm experiencing slower speeds and my 4G connectivity got even worse...even did a profile and prl update after the update and it didn't help.

Sprint's 3G is stupid slow. It's completely unusable around here. For example, the Android Market. Most things say they are "starting to download" then they never do.
I did a speed test and my ping was like 900~1100+ with a download speed of 7~13kbps and an upload speed of 50~100kbps or so.
Seriously, 7~13kbps download?
The only reason I put up with this crap is I'm almost NEVER away from wireless. I work in the technologies field with full gig-network access on almost all the campuses I'm at threw out the day and 105mbit at home.

Wow, that is really slow. I don't have it that bad lol. But with that ping and those speeds, it seems like something is uploading constantly. That's the only time I've ever seen speed tests like that for me, while i was uploading songs to Google music. That's interesting.
As for the speed test tho, i feel there is an issue with the actually test and specifically our 3g. The reason i say this is because the speed test will give me a result of 40-50kB/s, but then i will download a torrent at like 150kB/s.... all in the same area. Very weird.

Sprints download speed for me is around .12kbs to .45kbs in good reception areas... in the same areas ATT gets 3.5mbs and Verizon is very stable with good reception and stable internet that is around 1.5 mbs... so ATT is wicked fast 3g but the reception and internet are both hit and miss as far as coverage goes. Where as Verizon may not be the fastest internet, they are well within my personal tolerance and needs... and their coverage surpasses ATT by a long haul in my area... notice i haven't mentioned sprint? That's because my download speeds on average are (like previously stated) between 10kbs and 50kbs at most! 50kbs is the fastest I've ever gotten with the speestest.net app! Don't even get me started on call reception.... I've honestly had more dropped calls in a month and a half then I've had with every other company combined throughout my life. End rant

So needless to say... no matter what modem u decide is he best, it will never actually please you or meet any sort of standard for you... i know it hasn't for me

This is a known issue for Telus users (it's on all custom ROMs). You're still on 4g, it's just a cosmetic issue.
On a related note, do you know how to use adb?

Issue with signal readings

So I'm out here at the NTC in the Mojave desert and I didn't really expect to get service but to my dismay I have full H+ bars as told to my on my CM10 ROM... my issue is that it isn't really behaving like H+ or 3G for that matter. Back in upstate new York where I am stationed If I get like 2 bars of H+ its snappy and downloads/loads with little wait time. Out here it is saying I'm getting a better signal but is behaving like 2G... pictures will take forever to load, errors will pop up when I try to post things on Facebook and other sites citing my internet connection. Anyways, I'm just trying to figure out what's going on, does anyone have any insight into what's happening or how to fix/improve my connection? Thanks to anyone who replies.

A lot of people seem to be having data issues recently. Taking minutes to ping, datat showing full service but not actually connecting. Extremely flaky lte. Started on cm10 9-02 for me
Hmm well I was going to try aokp by ktoonsez so this seems like more motivation to...****ty.
Edit: before I do try it though...doesn't aokp draw from some of the same source that cm10 does? Should I expect the same issue?

Network Speed

Has anyone else been getting pathetically low network speeds? I cant get more than 200kbps with two different roms that I am using. Is it just me or is anyone else experiencing it?

First of all, everyone's network speeds will vary by carrier and location.
Are you talking about wireless internet?
Are you on 3G or LTE?
What are you using to get your speed results?
My speeds could be great, and I walk two feet over and its horrible. My phone will hop to a different cell tower. Or while I'm at home I could be in a dead zone so my wireless will drop out. You need to be much much much more specific then what your telling us.
The chances of another fellow xda member using the same cell tower or your wireless router is slim to none. Just so your aware. Could be a problem with your carrier as well

I am talking about 3g and lte. It started last week and I havent had good network speeds since then. I have switched roms three times and I have not gotten any better speeds. I am using speedtest.net app to get my speeds. I am on At&t and I realize that this differs from person to person but I am just getting tired of not being able to hardly anything without wifi.

Are you on unlimited data? Sounds like throttling.

No 3gb a month. I dont know why they would throttle me since I have limited data.
