For me it depends on where I am at. They recently repaired the tower closest to my work so I have been averaging around 2 Mbs up at work. At home I average around 150 Kbs up, almost unusable.

I'm lucky to get 500kbps down and 100kbps up on Sprint, most times its 2-3 know, that's why I run a Verizon prl. I don't know how they get away with calling those speeds 3g when any other provider in town gets at least 1mb down.
sent from my locked EVO via tapatalk
IT ALL DEPENDS ON TOWER TOWER TOWER! It is limited BY THAT ONE TOWER! it has nothing to do with city *unless the city like has NO fiber or something* If there is good fiber in the city, and depending on the area/tower you're on. you can get 2+M down and 1M up.. I get this on a normal basis. because my city has fiber. lol! But They REALLY need a better 4G network here. on an average, I get 6-8M down and 1.5up on 4G. BUT GUESS WHAT! EVEN ON 4G, I HAVE SEEN IT GET LESS THAN 3G SPEEDS LIKE CHICAGO! All depends on area, amount of people, and technology in that area.
NOW I WISH I WOULD STOP SEEING THREADS LIKE THIS! omg! lmao. I find it funny that people are like, "omg i'm getting 400kbs" lol. are you even connected to a sprint tower? that's a SPRINT OWNED tower!
OH YEAH, FORGOT TO ADD. WHEN LOOKING AT RATE OF DOWNLOAD.. YOU MUST ALSO LOOK AT YOUR PING! TIME IT TAKES FOR YOUR PHONE TO TALK TO THE SERVER. PING HAS A DIRECT RATIO with how many bars you have and rate of the connection at that exact tower.
My town must have no fiber at all then because it doesn't matter what sprint tower I connect to within a 30 mile radius I get the speeds I posted earlier, early morning mid day middle of the night all the same. My ping times are fairly low usually below 500ms. So maybe you should help sprint out around here, because in the same locations I can use a Verizon prl and have a lower signal and higher ping and still pull 1-3mbs. I'm doubtful its towers I think its sub par equipment running the towers.
sent from my locked EVO via tapatalk
500 ms ISN'T LOW! wow! 50 is low. 500 isn't. goto a sprint store near you and check another android phone to make sure it isn't your phone or something. Then again, if you're not near a city. what you got is likely what you're going to get.
Well I'm in a city, and actually this EVO does better than the 4 epics I went thru. I was lucky with them to get 1000ms ping. Now I can say the areas I been in that have 4G are ok, but officially we aren't suppose to have it here yet. No place in Oklahoma does for that matter. Sprint is either having trouble with the majority of their towers here or something. Just about every other provider here like tmobile, ATT, cricket, and us cellular all have faster data, I'm not trying to say sprint is bad or throw them under a bus just stating how my experience has been. With going thru 4 epics all of which had the same slow data speeds, when they could actually get data, and now an EVO I don't see how I could get all of them to have the same slow speeds in various areas of town. Just my experiences.
Edit: just ran some speed tests and ping of the 4 I ran was 110-140ms, down average was around 600kbps upload was average 200kbps. That's all with a full (pegged) signal from a sprint tower.
who cares what this says anyways
Sprint just got done boosting towers in oklahoma. I stated the plan for sprints tower plan in another thread ( 3g issues) . Goodbye iden and now instead of many small cellsites . They are moving towers into one cell site and a frequency from 800 mhz to 2.5 ghz in one cell site

Don't use speed test apps...
Use this...
http://speakeasy.net/speedtest
I've tested many different methods against realworld downloads. Speakeasy tests WiMAX better than others, especially speedtest apps.
yeah, a lot has to do with the server.
I like the speedtest.net server in washington DC... seems to be pretty consistent.
I think if you were expecting 2.5mbit over 3G, your expectations were a little off. 1MB is pretty average for EVDO (verizon EVDO speeds tend to hoover around that as well).
As for wimax speeds, they differ GREATLY depending on the area. Clearwire really didn't do the best job deploying the network (they were in a hurry and had limited funds).
I would wait for sprint to "correct" the wimax via network vision over the next ~6 months. You will also see 3G speeds increase in the next ~6 months as well.
I will post my results once my screen protector dries tomorrow! But on my Touch Pro2 I got anwwhere from 500kb-2MB with Sprint's 3G. I can't remember what my Photon tested at. Will report E4GT results soon for Kew Gardens and 10023.

i'm in Kew gardens queens and i get above 7 at any time of day. when i moved there in april i used 4g tether my computers and t.v's with no drop off.
In queens ny sprint 3g speed is normally btw 400-1.4, most the time it ill be around 700kbps. 4g speed is btw 3-7mbps. this speed is consistent with og epic throughout the pass year.
NYC
I work in midtown across the street from Penn Station... When I first got my EVO this time last year, i was getting between 8-10 MB down while tethered using Speedtest.Net. I downloaded the App and would show people at work the speeds i was getting...
Now when I run speedtest, i'm lucky if i break 2MB down. I tried the speedtest app and speakeasy.net, and the results are always very close and rarely over 2MB down. I don't know if it's increased traffic over the last year, but speeds have absolutely been tanking over the past year...
between 8 and 12 mbps in sacramento!
3g sucks though, get like .5
I live in queens (bayside) and inside my house I get 5-7 mbps and right outside I get 9-11mbps. Near work and school (midtown/grammercy) I get the same speeds. 3g speeds suck for me though.

I too came from a Touch Pro 2 => Photon => SGS2. I live in Manhattan.
I get around 100-250kbps on 3G on my SGS2, around 3Mbps on WiMax.
I was appalled because i remember getting 1-2Mbps on my old Touch Pro 2. So I actually fired up my Touch Pro 2, which is still active on another line, and now it too only get 100-250kbps on 3G.
Sprint's network has just gotten crazy overloaded these days in New York. Things are going to get real ugly with all new iPhones coming online soon.
I would expect congestion today since all these apple fanatics are probably activating their new iPhone 4s.
So Android Police had reported they were speaking with Sprint techs for the last few weeks and were being told upgrades are happening and we will start seeing improvements coming Oct. 31st. Of course everyone was doubting that and thought it was just more BS from Sprint.
Well low and behold Android Police starting to run speed checks after the 31st and are seeing huge improvements. Figured I would give it a shot this morning, not expecting much and ran a speed test on 3G. I have been getting about 50kbps average for the past few months and was expecting to see the same. Well I be darned, my SGS2 is testing over 1Mbps over 3g! Holy Cow!!!!!!!!! After running about 10 tests it never dropped below 800kpbs.
This is great news! I am in the Raleigh/Durham NC area. Let's here if your 3G speeds have improved and where you are located. I believe NYC is seeing some great improvements as well.......Here is to happy 3G'ing!

I am not far from RDU airport right now....Also tested it while driving in Western Cary and got great speeds there as well.
Since we got walloped by the freak nor' easter' in New England I have been on 00001.PRL...I switched before the power went out 'cuz I know that when power went out after Hurricane Irene Sprint's towers lasted barely an hour before 1X roaming...and if I'm going to roam I might as well do it at full 3G.
I check in on Sprint every now and then and the towers just aren't on. I haven't checked again yet, but, I can't even get calls through to my friends on Sprint right now...texts barely make it out and are frequently delivered anywhere from late to very late.
I sure hope we see some upgrade progress soon...my speeds are worse than abysmal. I'll report back if I notice anything.
I'm seeing an increase at times in Tampa Florida...finally.

here in Northwest Houston/Cypress area and tested in 10 different locations and all where less then 200k down and 60k up. 4G runs well, but 3G is still sucking. Funny thing though if I start heading north towards Tomball and Pinehurst on 249, Hockly on 290 or Conroe on 45 the speeds jump to 1.6M+D 400KU. So we are still saturated here in the metro area's but the outskirts have improved. And no coverage improvements either as I'm still sporting an Airave in my house for coverage.
Averaging over 1000 down and 500 up in Memphis Tn. Most were over 1200 down and a couple were around 800 down.

Not quite science.
On the left: Epic 4G Touch on Sprint 3G in Scottsdale, AZ. Google Music streaming a 6 ½ minute song On the right: Galaxy SII Skyrocket on AT&T LTE in Scottsdale, AZ. Google Music streaming a 48 minute party mix.
Note the length of the medium blue buffering bar on the song. The phone on the left buffered numerous times, the phone on the right did not and loaded the 48 minute track faster than the Sprint phone did the 6 ½ minute track.
After this we both played a Katy Perry video (tits) on the Youtube app in HQ, started at the same time. The phone one the right played through with no interruptions, while the phone on the left buffered many times. By the time the phone on the right was done, the phone on the left was not even halfway. Take a look at the signal bars, the phone on the left was getting 'better' reception.
Anyone know wh Sprint 3G data so slow? I was told that towers had been upgraded and fixed in my area.
I was sold this phone and my last one on the promise of 4G being in the Phoenix area in the near future. My guess is that with the trouble that Clear is having, and the switch to LTE that Sprint is making, that I will never get 4G that works on my phone.
If you know something I don't, please let me know!
When comparing 3g to LTE, of course it's going to seem slow.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
Lte should outperform 3g any day of the week. 3g is bogged down at sprint. Supposedly there will be less traffic on 3g and better capability on the towers part when lte hits for sprint as you will have people moving to 4g to browse. Don't count on that for a while. Look into a perl change. Koreyhas a thread on how to.

Sprint EVDO 3g vs. AT&T HSPA(+) 3g would be a fairer comparison. Still not fair imo but still same generation technology. It's like trying to compare vhs(2g) vs dvd (3g). Different generation technology. Plus don't hold your breathe for Wimax. You might not make it.
The signal bars has nothing to do with 4g LTE or 3G speeds...
Seriously you knew lte was 10 times faster than (sprints) 3G & any other right? You didn't need these nice gentleman to tell you that. Riiiight bad sprint joke, now hop in 85' DeLorean & "do not post"!
I think it's fair to compare the carrier's abilities in each location. Getting the best of the carrier from each side. It's obviously a better choice to go with AT&T in OP's location, and I wouldn't blame him if he left.
For me, Sprint's speeds are outstanding and I'm not in a hurry to transfer to another carrier anytime soon.
cdma has a max theoretical speed of like 3.something Mbps, of course it's going to be slower.
What Overstew said. Yes, I do know it's not an equal comparison. What I was pointing out is how I've been conditioned to think that not being able to stream music without buffering, or watch a YouTube video without it stopping multiple times is normal. I didn't realize just how slow it was until I compared the two. My speeds are below usable for any premium data type activities.

I rarely end up on 3G so the answer would be I have no issues. 3G varies from .5 to 2 Mbps around here and as often as I am flashing firmware and modems it definitely varies. Add on various locations of people with old cell phones without wimax things can get a bit slow.

I've been using Sprint for years, their 4G service for over a year now and I've never seen speeds anywhere near what I've seen past few days... it's crazy. I'm hitting 13mb at night, 11mb during the day... I'm VERY pleased right now, it's like years of struggle and their rewarding me.
Rom is straight up Cyanogen 9.
For me, ping times double on ICS.

From playing around past several days, it's all around the pacific northwest, Oregon, Washington, etc.
My guess is they're upgrading towers for LTE. 3G speeds are still the same though, that is to say, beyond belief terrible. But 4G has gone nuts. I might try to find a Sprint store in the area and check to see if LTE is live yet.

So you say your wimax 4g speeds have gone up as a result of the network vision work? I thought that was for lte and 3g improvements only? Can anyone else comment on that?

Beats me as to whats going on... all I know is I've never seen a speedtest result beyond 7mb or so on a GOOD day, now even during busy hours I'm hitting 11, 12, 13... maybe so many Sprint subscribers have cancelled their service due to poor network speeds there's simply now an abundance of bandwidth. lol :laugh:

Notice the same here in Orlando, 4g speeds have never been higher. Could it be people switching to LTE devices and getting off of wimax?
Edit: unnamed rom, ff18 modem
Swyped from my Samsung Epic™ 4G Touch.
Caulk ROM 3.0, modem ek02 also in the Miami area only Wimax I don't use 3g lol

So according to sprint the average lte speed isn't going to be much better than wimax?http://www.sprint.com/landings/lte/index.html?ECID=vanity:lte

Have you looked at the ping differences?
Spoke to a rogers rep and they said with the Galaxy S3, 20Mbps is highest achievable, with Iphone 5 42Mbps on the LTE Network. This is a load of poo.Any fix to making LTE faster on Galaxy s3 for rogers?

i called again and they told me LTE is varied by device, second rep to tell me. Im using SPEEDTEST app and all i get is 17mbps with 3/4 LTE bars hosted by TekSavy Solutions
USING 4.0.4 LH1 MODEM
The highest speed test I got was 47 Mbps in Richmond and I can consistently get above thirty around Vancouver. It's a lie.

are you using the google play Speedtest.net APP? you have the Dual Core Galaxy? What Modem you using. If you guys can test RIGHT NOW let me know your speeds in TORONTO
LOL.
The speed of your LTE is going to depend on a few things. Your signal strength, and current network traffic. It will vary throughout the day; the speed is only relative. Each phone that can support LTE will have, theoretically, the same speed range. The only difference will be where you are, how far from the network towers, etc.
If your phone is getting 19kbps, then it sounds like there's actually a problem. If your phone is rooted, flash back to stock touchwiz and double check. If there is still a problem, call to make sure that your account isn't throttled or something, and that there aren't any network issues locally.
Edit: I see you said you're getting 17mbps. Why is this a problem? That speed tells me that your network is working, but probably having traffic issues. 17mbps is not slow in any way, so why even complain.
Rogers rep? More like Apple rep.
Stock ICS on my S3
Lmao the first guy you talked to is tryin to sell iPhones. I just checked and there's nothing about that officially in any of the Rogers customer rep sheets. Realistic speeds are 15-25mb/sec.
That's strange. I'm on bell and have been able to reach 45 down at work.

My highest is 47.5 I am usually over 40 when I check, this is in the burlington ontario area
One thing I have learned over the years is that the majority of cell phone company reps (there are exceptions) don't have a clue about what they are talking about! Here is my fastest, on Rogers, Sept 22, 2012. I was so amazed I saved it!

I have seen 56mbps in scarborough
I reckon you've been bamboozled by this representative. A few people on Rogers have refuted your claim. It seems like it could be something to do with your phone or your location.
If actual representatives are telling you you're being throttled to half speed all the time though, then you should seize this opportunity. Tell them you only want to pay half the price and threaten to switch to Bell or something.

I usually get around 30-49 in Vancouver area (GVRD).
I tested right now and got 46Mbps. Yes, I'm with Rogers running Rogers' i747m with Bell's Jelly Bean leaked ROM.

Yep, Google Play Speedtest.net App on a Rogers i747M. I'm running the pre-rooted stock rom from Mr. Robinson. I didn't fiddle around with modems or kernels.

Hey David Dee,
yup I can confirm, I clocked 64mbps DL.
Typically, I get around 15-25 in the areas I most go to.
But there are some good spots where I get between 40-60.
FOLKS...when testing with apps like speedtest.net, change servers and retest. Network congestion isn't just wireless user congestion, it's also the network path to the testing server....after the tower receives your signal.
