Depends on where you live and how saturated your area is with 4G devices. When my area got it.... And I was testing before they made a official announcement I got 7-9mbps and sometimes 10+ mbps for a couple months. But eventually there were a lot of 4G devices coming online and Clearwire offers wimax 4G service for your home now..... Speed test show 3-5mbps.
Samsung Galaxy S II

Yeah these results are from Chicago.

I get about 8000 down and 1500 up but only in my neighborhood. Elsewhere it is like 3000 to 6000 mbps down

I get this types of speed at home and around the neighborhood but i get sh*t speed anywhere else.

Am I lucky with these speeds? Post your speeds.

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.

During peak hours I got this, much better than the stock Ek02 which was 0.01mbps down and 0.13mbps up... I don't know what Sprint is doing but my speeds are much better for the past 2 days
By the way I am on EL26 ROM Modem and Kernel. if that matters.
3g - 1189d 709u 138p
4g - 3772d 592u 139p
wifi - 11597d 4092u 30p
idk if thats good or bad at 1AM but it keeps me happy =)

3G Icon

I've had my S2 since last year November, and today was the first time I've ever seen the 3G icon on the status bar. Has that always been there on a stock rom!? I'm usually always on a 4g icon or Edge on a low signal area. I have never seen the 3G icon ever pop up on my phone

I wouldn't mind it too much. With T-Mobile, 3G and "4G" = same thing.
Exactly the same issue here. Its always Edge or 4g. Odd.

Its not a photo shop. In areas where AT&T has agreements and 3G only, T-Mo phones pick up on that. I have family that lives in one of these areas so.. he is right.. Its happened once to me, which that was the only area that I knew about that was a 3G-only area, every where else I go is yes either EDGE or 4G.
I rarely see edge on my phone 3g-4g all the time every once in a blue moon I see edge

Network vision delivering finally...

In Evanston, IL 3g seems to be more than usable finally (I may even describe it as speedy) ...but not LTE quite yet - at least in the closest tower to me

Lol....
I don't have screen shots but I pulled 2.23mbps down and .9 up the other night then it switches back to the crappie tower and it's 400 or less down and .9 up, progress from the 22kbps I sometimes see.
Another Evanston citizen...
I get the same speeds now as well.

[Q] what data are you guys using?

My 4G is ridiculously slow, takes forever to load play store and download an app

Will modem make difference in 4G speed?
Assuming there a modem out later
This is what I get in morristown NJ. Unlimited data plan...

Make sure they actually have your upgraded plan in the system and your not being throttled. I've had that happen before. Good luck!

LTE Newark NJ

LTE WENT LIVE IN NJ @ 7:19AM AND ITS CRAZY FAST. NYC SHOULD BE NEXT IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY WENT LIVE.
I WAS doing some coding on the new AIDE app and I lost service for a sec then LTE kicked in. I been on it all day.

That's equivalent to Verizon's LTE I was getting in New Brunswick, NJ. Out in East Brunswick I would occasionally get 50 mbps on Verizon's LTE and my ex would get the same on AT&T's LTE, now that's crazy fast but still this is pretty damn good. Apparently we have it here too in Mount Laurel, NJ because the other night just for the hell of it I switched the network mode to LTE/GSM/WCDMA when I was home in Vineland just to see if I could get it and was still on HSPA. I was wondering why my signal kept dropping out on my morning commute, I just looked now and it's because I'm connected to an LTE tower but there isn't an IP address. So they weren't bull****ting 2 weeks ago when the T-Mobile rep said that we'd have it soon in NJ, even though Verizon has been telling me for over a year that my city would be getting LTE "soon".
Looks like T-Mobile is on a roll...

Does the bar show LTE when in an LTE area or still indicates 4G?
(I'm in Linden NJ)
(Never mind .... found a photo in another thread with the answer)
