I just figured this out myself so thought share my experience. I haven't seen a thread similar so if there is one calm down.
Basically what I noticed was here in Denver where I live the app would choose the nearest server (Comcast) for here. I was only getting around 7 megs down and couldn't figure out why my numbers were so much slower than others around the country. For whatever reason I decided to change servers to one about a 100 miles down the road and for whatever reason that made an insane difference. I chose the one in Woodland Park (Peak Internet) and started getting in the low 40's for download speeds.
I guess the moral of the story is if you feel your getting inadequate dl speeds switch servers and see what happens.

These speeds will have no effect on if you decided to download something.. just in the app..

I know that but people all over complain about there speeds being slower than other members. I just proved that may not be the case after all and to effectively double check their dl speeds.

All you proved is that one of the servers used to test against is congested while the other one isn't. It has no effect of real download speeds.

That is to be expected I guess.
I did find another really strange issue today. When I run speedtest on the phone, I was getting around 8Mbps (1 bar of 4G), but when I enabled WiFi tether on my phone, connected my laptop to the GN's WiFi, and ran speedtest locally on my laptop, the recorded speed was 12-13Mbps
I was totally not expecting that as I would have thought it would be lower. I repeated this multiple times and made sure that both when running speedtest.net on the phone or on my laptop, the same server was selected. Seems like the speedtest.net app on the GN might be bogging it down and making it record lower speeds than what it is actually capable of?

Congestion huh or maybe just a slow server since I have a month and a half of the exact same speeds at all times of the day. Unfortunately you have no idea as to what your talking about. Not all servers are the same!!!

You want to test your download speeds, download a Linux ISO and see how long it takes, then divide the size of the ISO by the time it took.

Not sure about Sac but I've had it in San Mateo, Hayward & Vallejo. 3.1mbit down, .9mbit up MAX on G1.
This is my G1 on the "UMTS" network.
Okay, so since I'm too new, I can't post links to outside sites, so my results were 4.25MB/s download, and 1.59MB/s upload
I got similar speeds with my vibrant, so the g2 better be faster then all the results I've seen here...

Nice...finally some real G2 HSPA+ speed results. Looks like we'll probably double our download speeds for the most part. I'm guessing upload will be throttled to about 1.5Mb regardless.

This is the device I've dreamed of the last 10 yrs....and I've run with most all the latest and greatest.
I dumped my only big gripe about the browsers mobile-only page viewing, but the fact is this phone surpasses even my extreme contentment with the Galaxy S2 I've been running on ATT and Sprints Wimax MiFi.
Whoda thunk a carrier could take the device with the highest kudo's in the industry and make it better. A Carrier?
Sure, I'm gonna dump the bloatware and get Villians Rom on here asap as well as overclock and undervolt.
But how does this top the SGS2?
*love the bigger screen (ever since I played with the infuse).
*GPS much more accurate
*browser speed is faster...not by much, but consistantly (slightly) faster.
*text reflows via pinch past the first doubletap.
*International version struuggled at times with MMS transmission. No more.
*Without a doubt camera is quicker, all pics are slightly brighter and dilineation is better.
*Overall auto-brightness is dimmed (was too bright before...has marked effect on battery already and its only on the first cycle!
*not that I care (wink) but twice already I've gotten: "wow, what phone is THAT?!"
So major kudo's to Sprint here for putting out the phone of the year! ...so far (yeah, Iphone5...Nexus Prime...I know).
Never been able to say this before....but this is perfect out of the box. Doesn't NEED root...but all root goodies will be purely gravy.
(Oh, cept for the browser gripe....I DID mention that in another post didnt I?...I'll have to check!
I cant disagree with anything you said. I could root and be happy..but that wont happen. I will still have to try every ROM at least once

I already said this in another post but I think a big reason why the network is slow is because of Virgin/Boost/Walmart's straight talk(sprints network)_. I switched from TMO from Sprint about 8 months ago and it was definitely better in my location... Eugene, Oregon. I think it may just get worse since those $35-50 unlimited plans are pretty hard to pass up especially when the android phones their getting are slowly getting better every season. We do have the 4g.. but I find it's fine if your in one place.. using while traveling it's inconsistent .. for example I can stream netflix low quality fine on 3g.. but 4g streams it great but if I'm driving it will disconnect occasionally when it switched to 3g when it has to.
..... But yeah other than the overtaxed network this phone is fantastic.

I know this is above and beyond,but my work has me out and about all day, and I need the internet and need a good signal.
I got the MiFI...about 4 months ago ($35mo) and in addition to connecting multiple devices it greatly amplifies the 4G (and 3G actually) whenever the signal gets weak.
I struggled with a 4G signal deep in a building, I switched to the wireless MiFi and I had strong 4G immediately.
I know for most its not a consideration but works well if needed.

People are always talking crap about "sprints network" even though it pushed the industry into 4G technology. I was pushing over 4 MB/s download speeds while my apple fanboy friends where still trying to impress me with their 1200 kb/s 3g speeds on their locked down iphones with battery's going bad and patented special apple screws lol. Sprint pushed this industry into higher speed data traffic, sprint put HTC and Android on the map in partnership for the HTC Evo 4g. Sprint is always getting the best phones to it's customers the fastest it can before other carriers. Sprint has made smartphone history and have excellent service and I commend them for it as a proud android user. ATT or Cingular are monopolistic thugs, Verizon is no better, both are rip offs. Sprint = Freedom. Unlimited baby, that's how we roll. See you when you're at the beach with a rooted android device on the sprint network and wireless tether without a worry in the world how much data you're eating up. Then you'll know what true wireless service means.

With that said, I have the epic 4g touch and it's a monster. The only phone Galaxy S2 in the world that will have the original xyenos processor with a 4.52 inch screen, the first released in the USA and the only one with notification lighting. All compliments of Sprint. Job well done, the phone is unmatched and won't be for a long time. Sprint sets the bar once again.
For the past two days or so my download speed has been bottomed out. So tonight I decided to download speed test, download took 15min with full bars at 3g, and give it a run. When I went to choose what server I wanted I noticed that there were 3-4 new servers from the last time I ran speed test about a month ago.
So I guess my question is, would new towers in the area possible affect dl speed of verizon is just getting these up, or is it possible that my data is being throttled. I do watch ALOT of movies online through my phone as it is my only source of entertainment for the time being.
Any help, advice, or input in general would be appreciated. Also if my data is being throttled would changing roms help out? I don't really know, just a thought. If this subject has been covered I apologize as it takes quite a long time to do anything over the Internet right now.

The lower the number the better, as for the adding new towers statement, I believe your confused, there was a recent update of the speed test app, which added more locations to transmit the data to, to possibly get a more accurate measurement or ping time I'm guessing, its in the what's new description when you download the app. Don't know bout the throttling thing though, I have asked a bandwidth question and no one would or could answer and I can make educated guesses as good as the next but I don't really know how that works, sorry bud, hope this cleared up some confusion about the whole adding new towers thing though...

2GB is way too low of a cap before throttling kick in, especially if you have unlimited data plan, 4GB is more like it. lol
So what that article is saying is that if I enter an area covered by different towers my speed should go back to normal? Right now I'm at work in the middle of the desert close to the Mexican border and here is my latest score with 1 bar 3g

Not only do I get the Loss of Signal and not know about it, but the 3G is horrible when compared to other Sprint devices in my area. I could be standing next to a person with an EVO 3D and they will have way faster downloads....but that is not why I am posting here today. So, I noticed that if I turn on the display and try to get online it takes forever!!! To the point where I have been thinking "why did I switch to Sprint"...BUT once I hit one site and go to another and another the data speed appears to be picking up and pages are loading quick like they should. Is this normal? Has anyone else experienced this with this phone?

..
no your not crazy,the data speeds are truly terrible and cell reception is by far the worst on sprint.i dont get it and no fix or update for this in site,with all that this is still a great phone wish an update that can correct these issues comes out any time soon.then this will be the best phone ever........with a little more dev support 2 would be nice from roms.
I know for a fact that my slow connection is not the phone. At 5am I have no issues pulling down 1+Mbps. Through out the day it gets slower and by evening it can get to teens Kbps. My Evo 4G, Mogul running WM6, hacked Droid incredible and even a Virgin Optimus V all have about the same speeds at the same time of day. In my area it's just overloaded towers.
Sprint sat on their a$$ for a few years and now they are paying the price.

My brother is on Sprint and in need of a new phone. Tell me why I had difficulty recommending he get an E4GT over an iPhone 4S? If I told him he should get an E4GT and he ended up with the LOS bs, OS battery drain issues, game app crashes that I have (not to mention that our speeds are just as ****ty ans the iPhone 4s's), I'd feel like an [email protected]
I'm new to Android, never had an iPhone and I generally dislike "iPhone people" and their undeserved product elitism so I'm not going anywhere. Still (and quite sadly), I couldn't wholeheartedly recommend the E4GT.
I had an iPhone 4s it has real battery issues I had to charge twice a day sold it for 680 and bought a epic touch for 3+ bills . And it lasts all day, they are both good phones iPhone OS is very smooth but the screen was tiny, even my gf chose her nexus over it, I'm not a fanboy of either. IPhone has better apps and stability.

I hope Sprint is just playing dumb and that they really know all there phones are getting crappy speeds on their network. It's the network not the phone.....
Seriously, every mobile website should post tests of Sprints 3G speeds throughout their whole line of phones and really put this info out there already. Maybe we needed the iPhone to get Sprint's ass moving but speeds have been terrible way before the iPhone hit so I hope people don't believe the iPhone ruined the network.

He may be referring to the fact that the signal meter has, historically, been a measure of 2G CDMA signal strength which would have nothing to do with your 3G signal strength.
I don't know if they still do it this way since 3G is used more often than 2G it seems these days...but I know my Evo4G's stock meter was 2G.
Not to mention a clogged up overburdened tower ain't gunna do **** for you, perfect signal or not.

All I'm trying to say is, who cares if it's the iPhone that pushes Sprint to fix the network quicker, as long as we get it fixed.
I understand getting butt hurt because it feels like yea were second class next to Iphone,, but the Iphone has more exposure and if its showing the slow data speed and gets it fixed I don't really care. and really neither should anyone else.
What bugs me the most is they are giving so much attention to the iphones SLOW data connection but none to the ept4g NO data connection

What bothers me is that they are giving the iPhone attention.

I think people are bothered that sprint cares so much about their iPhone users which will be around 1 million they say, but what about the other 19 million Sprint users who have had slow data speeds on non iPhone devices.
Non iPhone users still outnumber the amount of iPhone users on Sprint. Sure it's great that they will fix their network just for the iLosers but it still makes the rest of us feel like Sprint don't give a hoot. If all of Sprints Android users left, it would certainly out number the amount of iPhone users.
Maybe we all just need to buy an iPhone and keep it as backup so if we have any problems, we just hook the iPhone up on the line, then call Sprint so will actually care about our complaint.

Exactly. Fixing iPhones slow data probably isn't going to do a damn thing for our LOS, and definitely won't have anything to do with E4GT OS battery drain or any other issues we are mostly all plagued with.
At best we might get improved data speeds because of iPhone, while all of our other issues probably get even less attention because of it.

actually no I'm not missing the point I understand it, but who's voice it the loudest, the Iphone is. not ours. but I don't care who they listen to as long as they listen
