AT&T Galaxy Nexus Speed Test Results - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I know there are a lot of threads out there for speed tests, however most of which are aimed at the CDMA version of the phone on the verizon wireless network.
If you are on the AT&T network, post the results of your SpeedTest.Net results.
Get the SpeedTest.Net app here

That's a good usable speed, but for HSPA+ I don't think it's that good. I've never used HSPA+ but from what I've seen others get I'm just throwing that out there.

This is what I generally average in NJ on AT&T. Acceptable.

HSPA+ its not bad but the att lte rocks (if available in your area)
Would put a picture but I am not allowed to post pics on this forum for some reason.
Below is the picture. I could not edit my post and add it so I had to repost a new thread.

For mobile speeds on a faux 4G its not bad. Good upload speed. I am raving on the lte network about their speed tests. Its blazing fast.
You think att will offer a Nexus lte device like Verizon?
Anyways just wanted to post the lte speed test for my skyrocket.
I know its not the nexus but wanted to show their lte speeds incase an lte version of the Nexus was released in March like the rumor has it planned.

My speeds have been pitiful, i'm on AT&T in phoenix using Milestone 3 rom. I have not seen my speeds go above 2 mb. Anybody have any ideas?

This is also about average for just outside of Manassas, VA (@ work). At home (up in the eastern panhandle of WV) I average about 4.5 or so. In DC I've gotten both really good speeds (8-9 MBPS) and pretty slow speeds (~ 1 MBPS), so it is definitely dependent upon the tower you are connected to and throughput/backhaul it has installed...

I'm getting between 6-7.2 mbps down in Austin TX, with LTE provisioned in my at&t account and using the PTA APN.

Good, I hadn't gotten around to posting that for you. Some people have had good luck with the PTA APN (the one for LTE) but I have not. You can always try it and see if it helps even more...

Yeah I searched and i found the thread where they posted the APNs. I'm currently using the phone APN and may switch to the PTA to see if it makes life any better.

Got these data speeds when I ran the speed test. I am in Atlanta btw.

Yes you would need to download the app. Also, the "H" symbol is indicative of a HSDPA connection.

The weird thing is that my connection speed seems to dynamically change as well. It's always sitting on 3G during the ping and when the actual transfer test starts it switches to H (assuming that is hsdpa+). Is there a way to force it to stay on hspa+? I'm guessing that maybe its affecting the test.
Ahh whatever I don't care I'm in wifi most of the time, and when I am not hspa+ seems quick during usage. Definitely a step above the nexus s all around.

Is this speed right

Just done a speed test on my nexus with the speedtest app and I got a speed of 1544kbps download and 440kbps upload ... is this speed OK over 3g? Or is this kinda slow. I'm not too sure what speed I should be getting.

Below are my 3g speeds. Depends where you are, signal, whether or not there is a lot of bandwidth available etc.
Yesterday I was getting speeds closer to yours in the exact same place I got the 7mbps.

the only way to know if its a "good" speed is if you can compare to a different phone on the same network near you, or another phone, swapping your SIM into it to test.
What speeds do you all see on the Galaxy Nexus? I am considering getting this, and using it on T-Mobile. I replied to some other posts about this, but didn't really get firm responses. I have a HTC Amaze, and see speeds in the 18Mbps area, and 3 - 6 in a bad coverage area. The Amaze supports HSPA+ 42, and the Galaxy Nexus HSPA+ 21. Will I see 18Mbps on the Galaxy Nexus, or 7 - 8 like most people post. Of course, T-Mobile is the only U.S. carrier with HSPA+ 42.

Where are you located? I think you will be disappointed with the nexus speeds if you are getting those kinds of speeds on your Amaze. I have averaged between 1 and 3 Mbps down in minneapolis.

Yeah, it is. I haven't rooted/put a custom ROM onto my device, tho so maybe doing that might help the speeds. I have been kind of dissatisfied with T-mobile in that aspect. The funny thing is that they sent me a text message survey a few weeks ago asking me if i would recommend t-mobile to friends, to which I responded very unlikely. Yesterday I got a phone call from t-mobile trying to get more information out of me about why I was dissatisfied. I tried to answer as best I could, and in the end, they gave me a $25 credit. I still keep thinking of things that I wish I would have said to them. Like for example whenever I go to a place where there are tons of people like at a concert or something, I will have no chance of calling or texting. My phone says I have signal, but there is no signal.

No LTE for t-mobile gs3

I read that even when t-mobile jumps on the lte band wagon in 2013, that our gs3 phones will not be able to take advantage of the new speeds (what a drag). I'm not sure if this is really the case, but I posted the link to the article below.
http://www.galaxys3newsblog.com/t-mobiles-samsung-galaxy-s3-to-miss-lte-yet-another-dissappointment/
One thing you have to remember you always want to buy a phone that works right now for you not a phone that would work better in the future, I'm happy with hspa+ and by the time I get lte from tmobile I might have another phone anyways so I think I'm cool with that, it bee discuss in another topic too
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
This is true. I just thought that I would post this for those who didn't have the benefit of reading the other post. For those that don't change their phones often and intend on keeping the gs3 for some time, I thought that this was good information to help them make a well informed purchase. I hope this helped anyone that didn't know and wants to buy a gs3.
My HSPA+ speeds are consistanly faster than my friends Verizon LTE. Plus HSPA+ uses dramatically less battery. Heres my speeds in Detroit.

Same here in San Diego. Verizon was fast out of the gate but they heavily over-subscribed their network and now they are lame. AT&T is the crazy fast at the moment but I expect them to be in the same boat as Verizon this time next year.

Practicly yes on stock 4g shows when you connected to umts(3g), hspa and hspa+(t mobile calls this 4g cause it could go up to 42mbps) but if you changed yours to stock look ( aosp) you will see your phone going at all of them and won't stay connected to one at all times, you might no notice because their 3g is not crazy slow where you live, I have good coverage specially where I live and work so I don't mind it

It does have LTE, just like the T-989 did, its just disabled by default. You can access this setting by opening the dialer and typing *#*#4636#*#*, and selecting radio type.

T-Mobile HSDPA maxes out at 8mbps

Doing recent speed tests on my Note II, I've noticed that on the download, they go no faster than 8mbps, in fact, they all now consistently hover around 8mbps in the best of scenarios. On lower signal, it is obviously lower, but my speedtests on HSPA+ are almost all perfectly around 8mbps give or take 5kbps. Is anyone else noticing this? Has T-Mobile realized it might not be the best idea to give everyone access to all the available bandwidth and instead is limiting everyone to 8mbps? That's actually pretty smart.. I'm locates in Virginia a beach and I've tested on several different cellsites. All the same download speed. Used to get as much as 27mbps.
LTE seems unaffected but it maxes out around 27mbps now, but LTE technically isn't official here (;
I think the fix is to change your apn back to the epc.tmobile that we used to have.

I think it has something to do with the LTE radio as my s3 would get into the 20's on HSPA, still does. I don't get higher than 15 mbps in my Note, same area and everything. I have yet to change apn settings to old one as anything over 8 is fine honestly. Still getting over 4 upload, so no worries.
I do think if you Change it and LTE comes to your area, change it back and should be there.

This isn't necessarily a bad thing. Except if T-Mobile is doing this intentionally, it's not very good for them to not make their customer base aware of this. Like I said, no single user needs access to as much of the bandwidth as the tower + spectrum permits, 8mbps down limit can guarantee equal QOS for everyone on HSDPA. But they really need to make a public announcement about it. And those LTE speeds aren't very good for a network in which no one else is using. But it will probably be better when LTE is official in our areas.
I get 8-14 in NYC.
Im in Dallas, TX and on my stock Note 2 i can get 10-15 megs down with 1-2 up in most places.
Thats with the fast.tmo apn. At least in my market they are not capping at 8megs down, thats if they are doing that at all.
Just ran a speed test at my desk and i got 14.18 down 1.4megs up..

T-Mobile and My Experiences

So I have the S4 now and I've been complaining to T-Mobile about the poor download speeds in neighborhood in Brooklyn, NYC as if I live in the boondocks. I finally got a response from T-Mobile saying that oh well it looks like there isn't enough bandwidth in your area and there's nothing you can do. Which is ironic considering the slew of ads they have bashing AT&Ts bandwidth and bragging how great they are (BS). See attached for the wonderful LTE speeds I get. And it's all the time as you can see, not based on time and the network being clogged up. I work in midtown Manhattan where between 10AM and 6PM the network is barely useable to which they said "well a lot of people are probably on it".
I'm surprised they didn't tell me to move somewhere else.
Basically I'm getting tired of all the LTE posts I'm seeing on here

LTE? that's only 4G. not LTE
That sucks, but like the other guy said, that's just regular 4G and not 4G LTE, big difference as I got a few patches of LTE here where I am, and it's at least 4 times faster for me,

Next year would be the time to start pitching the complaints just because they said at the end of 2013 it should be completely implemented but I've been with Tmobile from the beginning and they have bent over backwards to make me happy.
LTE is still in the beginning phase of being introduced so yes some people will be lucky enough to have early use but pitching a fit because your not one of the few that have it this early on is useless.

Is Brooklyn even one of the officially supported areas? Or is LTE on but not officially?
Even since they started rolling out LTE in my area my 4g has gone to crap. I get mostly the same speed as the OP now when I used to get 8mbps prior to LTE roll out. It happened at home and now its happening at my work. I really hate it cause inside my work I dont get LTE and just get 4g. And at home I get LTE a block a way but no LTE where my house is so I'm stuck with the new slower 4g.
Man. Those speeds you posted were faster than I usually used to get with Sprint. In the Chicago area, my last three T-Mobile tests are:
5644 kbps / 1590 kbps
7183 kbps / 1074 kbps
8036 kbps / 6006 kbps (LTE in moving train)
14983 kbps / 12024 kbps (LTE stable)
Not bad.

Not sure if this test is valid looks like you had WIFI on at the time.
You're getting low pings (66ms) and over 1Mbps, which is plenty for a mobile device IMO.

Same here the 4G used to be great and where I live if I go over a couple blocks it'll switch to LTE but my house is 4G with terrible speeds where I used to get 5-6mb.

That test was at my job where I have no WiFi. The test was a previous test about a week ago. The Wi-Fi you see enabled is because I took a screenshot while at home this morning. The test is done on LTE if you look at the network type listed.

I have the HTC One on AT&T and SGS4 on TMO. I've found outside of AT&T's LTE area TMO being faster, but not always. AT&T seems more consistant everywhere I go, TMO, there's either drop to edte, no service, or killler speeds. I have not hate to either carriers, nor a fanboi of any of them nor any device.
Long story on why I have both, basically had to do with credits owned me on TMO and sales of older devices I had right out.

I don't think you get the point I was making, I could see being mad if LTE was out for a few years and your being told you should have it on Tmobile but it's just starting literally. This has nothing to do with att and their coverage but I've had att and Verizon in the past and no Cell carrier can promise perfect coverage.

I finally got a response from T-Mobile saying that oh well it looks like there isn't enough bandwidth in your area and there's nothing you can do. Which is ironic considering the slew of ads they have bashing AT&Ts bandwidth and bragging how great they are (BS). See attached for the wonderful LTE speeds I get. And it's all the time as you can see, not based on time and the network being clogged up. I work in midtown Manhattan where between 10AM and 6PM the network is barely useable to which they said "well a lot of people are probably on it".
I'm surprised they didn't tell me to move somewhere else.
Basically I'm getting tired of all the LTE posts I'm seeing on here

I did a test in Brooklyn yesterday and I got 24mbs download and 8 upload on LTE.
