Not via WiFi, but with 3g.
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk
I've just found out this forum has a sticky saying just that. I'm using Tapatalk and didn't notice the "sticky" bit.
Anyway, I just got 4.55mbps using the Speed Test app and thought it was pretty good for in the middle of the pub at what must be peak time(ish).
I've also just realised that it depends on what network, data plan, country, time of day etc...

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!

Apparently the towers in my area are only fed by a T1 so says company supplying connection to tower, not sure if that's typical?

I get like 1 down on a really good day

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

I have been running speed test around NYC for the pass couple of days in Manhattan and Brooklyn and am getting great 3G speeds, I usually have to turn 4G to have anything load even mobile sites I had to use 4G and now I don't even use 4G unless am downloading a big file. FINALLY!! SPRINT LOL

no go for me in the bronx. still slow but 4g is right where it needs to be!
You must be living directly under a tower or the force is strong with you. Nothing happening at my end.
That's the speed we got in Buffalo NY(150-250kbps).
Buffalo-the second largest city in NY always gets **** last,even Rochester has 4g.
But when i was in Rochester i tried 4g and it was almost the same as 3g about 700kbps which is the speed t mobile had 4 years ago with better ping on their 3g+,lol.
On jb ROMs vs. Stock ROM? My reception indoors is horrible. And outside it drops sometimes to nothing then comes up back down. You just never know

I'm not sure if that's the phone's fault. Because I always get full bars unless im in a rural area with not much around. Even in basements I get 2-3 bars when my friend's have zero signal

I just flashed to cm10,but I was using stock firmware all last week and I think reception is great both indoors and outdoors. I use to get no reception in certain elevators with my nokia and xperia play. With the Samsung, in those areas I get 3to4 bars.

I'm on stock, so whatever that is, I'm using it. Although I can confirm that using JB roms (such as CM10) on and s3 has no effect because my friend has the identical model I do (Both of ours were locked to Rogers before we both unlocked them to use on Telus) and the signal is always the same
Sometumes my bars drop to nothing and there is a black signal bars with grey out line and it will do that for a couple minutes then jump up to 4g or what ever reception I get at the time. Then out hers I'll get full bars. Sometimes I get no data at all just call with no internet. Maybe I got a NAD phone or something

If you aren't rooted and throttled by att, I found a temp fix that will work for a little bit to get boosted speed. I noticed that if you call your voicemail your note 2 will go into 4G instead of LTE letting you access 4G speeds even if you are throttled. Try it out!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
That didn't work for me.
Interesting anecdote. Might have something to do with HD voice on UTMS. See if you can replicate and post back.
The best way to do this is to keep an active data connection. Then place a call and end it after connecting and it will stay in 4G. BAM. I'm only 4 days in and been throttled. Now I have 4G speeds which is def better than 500kps
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
I think they changed the way they throttle. Right at 5gb I get 60kb/sec speed for a day, the next day it's back to full speed for a while.
As of using internet while in a call - I found it's impossible, because the upload speed drops below dialup (1kb/sec!) it means any page requests take ages to reach the server.
I don't use internet while using the phone. I just use it to put it into 4g mode. Works for me.

I just got wind of Net10 and apparently they're offering unlimited data with AT&T SIMs.
How's their service? Also I see in the details that no tethering is allowed. How do they know when you tether and what do they do?
Sent from my LG-E980 using Tapatalk 2
Does it support AT&T LTE? If it does that would be awesome, if you're not throttled
Sent from my LG-E980 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
It seems that there is no LTE with any MVNO but that doesn't matter much to me because AT&T's LTE coverage is spotty and the speeds I've experienced really disappoint me
Sent from my LG-E980 using Tapatalk 4
I have been on a straight talk sim for almost a year now. 45.00 a month unlimited!!! Im running both this device, and my butterfly s on it. I get the exact same service as if i were using att!! For less than half the price! Net 10 is the exact same service, hspa+ speeds, which is fast enough for me, i do all my downloading and youtubing off my wifi at home. One thing to note is that the data part is NOT truly unlimited. If u stream videos, and dl large files, they will throttle u until the next month. And if it happens to often, they will disconnect u for good. But for me.....i couldnt b happier, like i said im constantly on wifi for the data part of it.

Actually Aio Wireless (AT&T MNVO) offers LTE. Granted they just recently released it, they do offer LTE.
