4G: 1Mbps Upload cap?

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.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

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...

[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.

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.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App

My fastest has been 50 down and 25 up

I typically get 6-7Mbps down and up in Colorado Springs. The fastest I ever had was 48Mbps, but that was only once.

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.

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.

Oh good, I was playing with ATT LTE earlier and was getting a constant 32-35Mbps so I wondered how Sprint compared. Those 12s in the previous posts worried me.

Not LTE speeds but nice 3G speeds here in Delaware on the FH05 modem

I have been testing along the 110/10 route from Pasadena to Santa Monica this last week, and things seem to be slowly ramping up.
The downloads have averaged around 6-9mbps and I've gotten as high as 31mbps. So quite a range, and the places it spikes are fairly consistent. So I suspect certain towers either have better backhauls than others, or have just been installed and troubleshooted a little longer - so they're more stable.
Either way, about 30% of that route has a very solid LTE connection on my Galaxy Nexus. Not great, but a nice start, and about a 100x improvement over the 3g speeds I have been seeing.

Portland
Just my $.02 worth,
Portland just got partial LTE 2weeks ago, though it comes in and out at my apartment in Beaverton. It's odd, ill have full bars of 4g, then it just disappears. Either way, I've not seen a speedtest.net test of over 5.5MB down from my sgs3

Sprint LTE speed - Boston area
Sprint LTE speeds in the Boston Area. Download does spike over 20Mbps, but usually stays in the 15Mbps range. Upload is consistently around 7Mbps. Battery life has been fine, I'd rather get less battery on LTE than not being able to stream music on 3g...

HSPA+ vs LTE

I've had nothing but terrible LTE reception in my area, despite T-Mobile's coverage map showing I'm in the area. So I decided to do a little test.
I woke up late at night and ran Speed Test on my phone to check my speed. I found that I got the best download speeds late at night when I had my S3, likely due to less traffic. Here are my results:
LTE: 3.80 Mbps Down, 1.31 Mbps Up
HSPA+: 12.69 Mbps Down, 1.7 Mbps Up
Crazy isn't it? Good thing I'm on Wifi almost everywhere I go otherwise that would drive me nuts. Results are even worse during the day.

I get pretty amazing LTE service in most parts of KC i usually get between 25-30Mbps down and about 15Mbps up or so. When I'm at home though my service is lousy with about 5Mbps down and 1Mbps up so for me it just depends where I'm at.

Before the Coverage map used to say because lte is still fairly new it's not a very good exactment on the coverage side or something on those lines. Anyway just because it says excellent or very strong doesn't mean LTE it just means it's a great coverage whether it be H or H+ or LTE. But it doesn't specify if that exact location is LTE. At my address it says excellent but it is only with H+ however.

So why don't you set it to only wcdma/gsm?
That's what I did cuz lte where I'm at is ridiculously slow.

Here in Augusta, i'm rarely on LTE, Usually if a get a good signal it's only 4G (HSPA+)
Even when i was on the (V word) network. My network in this area, with a tower 2 miles away i only got 15mbps dn and 5mbps up

HSPA+ is 12mps maybe on a good day.

I'm getting pretty crappy LTE signal too indoors, works fine outside but it worked in my office on my Note 1 as well as outside.
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app

same thing here in MN. coverage area says "excellent" but lte is horribly inconsistent and unusable for anything that involves downloading. this applies whether i'm indoors or out, rural or high-density urban area. HSPA+ gives me a consistent 2meg download speed on the play store, and that applies to browser downloads as well, so until they get their QoS issues resolved, i willl likely keep it to WCDMA/GSM.
