What speeds are typical for 3g? Are there any utilities at the market for testing connectivity? TIA

go to these sites though the phone browser and run the tests, should give you some accurate data.
I did this, show like .38 Mbps down, .79 up.
I also had a friend do from there phone most she got was .52 Mbps down and .86 Mbps up.
Both phones are 3g and network says evdo rev a.

You can also try the speedtest app in the market, it might give you better results then the browser one.
Make sure in the app that you select the server that is closest to you for the most accurate response.
Also while you are traveling around your town(s) -- School, Work, Home, Friends, etc..
Test out the app in each of those locations (it allows you to save the results).
Then compare them and you can get an accurate reading of the 3G speeds for your provider in those areas.
Your signal strength definitely matters. Good signal I get a little over 2 down, 0.8 up. Not so good signal is more like 0.6 down, 0.3 down. These numbers are from the speedtest app.

I usually see about -84 for signal, but guess that's not quite good enough!

So far only 1.3 down and 1.0 up, hey least its not dial up speeds!

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?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
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 really feel that i am having much slower 3g speeds.

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.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
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

I don't know, i'm getting ok download speeds ~ 6 Mbps but ridiculously slow upload speeds ~ 120-200kbps on full 4 bar signal
Coming from Amaze 4g week back, both these are really low...I used to have ~10Mbps d/l and 1-3mbps u/l in Boston, MA
It is all stock for now..I'm thinking of upgrading radio? Are you guys using some other radio then default..right now I have Baseband T989UVKL1
I'm using the stock radio.
You can try to use the blaze 4G modem just google it most people say it makes them get faster speeds, personally I don't. But I don't really need faster speeds ha.. I've already doubled the speed of my wifi

I flashed the Blaze modem, things improved, now i'm getting UL speeds of ~ 0.6-0.7mbps as I tested on few servers. Download speeds varies between 3-6mbps...A little better than stock button..
Its awful when compared what amaze used to pull in my same area...Its not about just the numbers either, I can notice the speeds in which the website load have quite increased too, on Amaze I preferred using 4g all the time as it used to beat my Wi-Fi speed , now its the opposite...guess its kinda hit and miss according to the area...I'm disappointed though, its my first day with this phone
I switched ROMs andmy speeds improved. some ROMs don't take to the data and speed tweaks. Coming from ddw to Ms bluray with blaze modem took me from 3mbs, to 11

Hey so I have a question for you guys. How fast are your 3G speeds? I'm asking because my gs3 won't go over 600 kb even at my best service. And my wifi is also extreamly slow. The wifi doesn't make sence to me Cuz my Droid x2 uses the same wifi and it gets triple the speed that my gs3 gets. Any one have the same problem or have a solution for this?
My WiFi is fine. 3g sucks.

LOL, that's about what I get when I'm roaming on your network(I'm with US Cellular). I thought it was just cause I was roaming.
I can't say the words "Sprint", "3G" and "Fast" in the same sentence without laughing (or crying) :laugh:
This is in the Denver area:
Ping: 366 ms
Down: 23 kbps
Up: 326 kbps

Nope.. its because the network here absolutely sucks. Ive done battle with Sprint for over a year about the crappy signal here and gotten nowhere.
Here are mine. Funny thing is I live in a very small town in Western New York and we got 2 Network Vision towers put up recently with 4 more on the way lol. But hey I'm not complaining

I get about 600 here in phoenix. No 4g here
I've seen MAX almost 2 Mbps. Average speed is about 1. Pittsburgh area.
I just got 446 kbps this morning but 9507 kbps tonight. No 4g and 905 nightly cm10. It seems things run better a day or two after flashing. Could be my imagination.
OK forget it, I had the wifi turned on ... "if it's too good to be true..."

I was in NYC, and got 1.9 mbs down in Queens, and the Bronx, as well as in DC last week.
How are data speeds in the area? I'm considering T-Mobile over my current Sprint service. My typical Sprint speeds on my GS3 are usually 80-300 kbps. Sometimes higher every once in an area anyway.
Their unlimited data plan looks pretty good if the data speeds are useable. Thanks!

Definately check it out and add your results if you are willing! Instructions and description for the map are in post 2.
Also, I just verified for you that Detroit has been upgraded to the new hspa+ 42. This means you will get speed very close to current LTE networks. Many people have reported 20+ mbps downlink using speedtest. You should see some of these on the map.

A friend in my area tested his speeds at the same time I tested mine on Sprint. T-Mobile downloaded @ 7500 kbps, while my Sprint was like 33 kbps.
In my home in Detroit I usually get between 9 and 10 mbps. At my job in Livonia though it gets as high as 22 mbps. So it's kind of spotty but your speeds will always be better than Sprint 's

I've never even seen 9mb on Wimax. I'm glad they clipped me for roaming.
I get good speed in Detroit depends where you are east side west or downtown
