I'm running CM7 RC2 and I'm not sure if it's the ROM or my area that is causing such poor download speeds... I could pull the same download speeds on 3G! I am in a 4G covered area and the coverage is above average which makes me wonder why it's so slow. Also, a few months ago I was getting speeds of 5-7 mbps down!!

What's the point in being able to use it if I'm getting 3G download speeds?

Hey guys, I just got a sprint Galaxy S II (Epic 4g touch) and I previously had a EVO and it seems like the galaxy s2 has really slow 4g speeds compared to my evo. I was able to get 6-8 Mbps downloads on 4g on the evo but on the epic 4g, I only seem to be able to get half of that (3-4 Mbps) in the same locations. Anyone else have this same issue with the phone?
no, but isn't 3-4 just as good as 6-8mb if you are streaming, browsing. I figure you wont see that much of a differnece is 3-4mb is plenty fast enough. I good 4g coverage I get anywhere from 4-8.
I just did a SpeedTest and got 7.5 Mbps download which is pretty good for me. I don't expect much more than that.
Also your download speeds constantly change depending on location and overall network traffic.
I come from Verizon and even their awesome LTE network speeds fluctuate quite a bit. A few day ago I only got about 4 Mbps down at a certain point during the day.
No network is perfect.

Indoor at my home (SoCal) all from 4G and the last is Wifi
I am in hollywood, one of the first 4g areas, and I am 1500kbps down. I am about to loose it, as I just got this phone an hour ago.
Today I noticed my 3G speed has taken a huge hit. I am getting numbers that are absolutely terrible. I used to be able to stream YT videos with very little delay, load web pages fairly quick, etc. My 3g used to pull close to 1000kbps, sometimes more. I have been using WiFi alot over the past few weeks so I havent noticed this issue until now.
It seems like its only an issue with the download speed, upload seems fine. I was thinking about updating to the latest radios but there were people having issues after flashing them so I put those off. Should I do that anyways?
Is there anything else I can do to improve these speeds? I'm not sure what happened but my 3g download was never this bad.

I flashed the latest radios. It is doing slightly better (about 50-100kbs more). This is still very much slower than what it used to be able to pull. The market feels like its crawling for me.
Besides flashing radios, is there anything else I can do?
I am getting the same thing you guys are getting. My phone has been staying at 1x pretty much of the day. Thought it was the rom so I started all over again. Turns out it wasnt, so all that BS for nothing. I am the DFW area just FYI and I wonder if it an areal thing. But it does piss me oft!!!!!
I live in Southern Cali. I'm not on 1x though. My signal strength is where it normally is at too.
The top four are from my house at various server distances. I know I am lucky with the wifi because I only pay for around 15. I never have had los and only saw it on my wife's stock epic touch once. I bought my phone off of ebay and I'm on the eg30 modem. I am afraid to switch with it working so great.

By the way I am on EL26 ROM Modem and Kernel. if that matters.

About my Post I was refering to GPRS, NOT EDGE. I was talking about the OLD GPRS network
Ah sorry thats .15 mbps on edge. Slow. Slow slow slow ha
I can only pick up HSDPA where I live, are these speeds normal? They seem pretty low to me. The SUPER low ones are Edge. I really wish they would hurry up and finish their restructure.

I agree, I'll actually get complete service dropouts in Houston on my acro s.

The Xperia s is only 14.4mbps hsdpa
Its not a phone for downloading stuff
But you should probably get faster speeds
You need to get a 42mbps device imo.
Even 21mbps is kinda sucky depending on networks
But I'm not from the U.S
I think the average I get from a good carrier is around 3 -7mbps and on my HTC one xl I get 7 - 10 on average. Faster upto 15mbps in dc hspda area
Isn't it more compatible on AT&T networks? Or are you in an area where they upgraded the T-Mobile networks?

I'm in an upgraded area. Before all we had where I live is edge.
What's really weird is that when I went to florida I picked up 3g, but here in socal all I get is HSDPA. Does the network use different frequencies there or something?
Houston is the same, it on their new structure but not all over.
