Can anyone help me figure out why my download and mainly upload speeds are so slow? I'm approximately 1/4 mile from the tower and it is line of sight without any obstructions. Radios are the leaked 4.0.4 radios and speeds were basically the exact same with 4.0.2 radios. Nothing else was running and the server is about 30 miles from here. Also, I had full bars for 3g and two bars for 4G when I tested.
Top four results are 4G and second four are 3G.

I am guessing only a Verizon tech who can look at the tower can help you there. Anything else will just be a guess.
Mine is pretty bad too around the same as yours during peak hours...I think its due to over saturation at work...in the morning I get around 600 kbps...

Oops forgot this one
here is mine.
Oversaturation? VZW has so many data hungry grandfathered customers on LTE - that plus their aggressive marketing = lots of people using once-50MBps LTE now slowing it to HSDPA+ speeds?
We must work at the same place then. I don't really notice a slow down after most people leave but I'll run a speed test tomorrow evening to see if there is a difference. Btw today around 1030 I got around 30 down and 30 up, kbps.
Here is a screenshot from then.

Still crappy speeds even with less than 3/4 of the work force here today. So I'm thinking its something other than way too many people hitting the same tower.

Network saturation is a *****. Head over to the throttle thread and listen to all the people there tell you how all the heavy data users have no impact on you. The good thing is at least Verizon is proactive about their network and will likely add capacity soon. I'd certainly consider complaining a bit to them though so they know its a problem.

Here is my delima, I am deciding if I want to leave T-Mobile after 12 years of service. I have great coverage everywhere except the two places I need it the most, my house and my work. For some reason at my work I can only average about 200kbps down tops and that's on hpsa+ it's so bad and can't even stream Pandora. I run a tire shop and we all take turns streaming music its embarrasing when I try to stream and it keeps cutting out. So I own a vibrant but am looking to upgrade to this phone and was wondering since the phone is capable of higher speeds, would I see an improvement? So for you that know you had terrible speeds in certain areas, have you seen an improvement?

i don't know if you noticed
but i've seen a lot of this that goes hand in hand, in a lot of videos and reviews
whenever you get REALLY good 11+ Mbps download speeds, the ping time is always high in speedtest app
if you have good ping time, usually the speed is average, like less than 8 Mbps
maybe that's just how the cell towers behave?
personally, i can say with this phone it has been a HUGE!!!!!!!! improvement on network speed compared to my Nexus S
areas where i average get 4~5 Mbps down, now i can get over 8 Mbps down
phone reception wise has also improved a lot, areas where i used to have no reception or poor reception now i can get good reception with this phone
before i purchased the phone i was betting on the Qualcommn chipset + radio as it was widely advertised and it did really pay off
i'm sure if they used a Exynos the reception would have been crappy like on the Nexus S

Oh good, I was playing with ATT LTE earlier and was getting a constant 32-35Mbps so I wondered how Sprint compared. Those 12s in the previous posts worried me.
Not LTE speeds but nice 3G speeds here in Delaware on the FH05 modem

I have been testing along the 110/10 route from Pasadena to Santa Monica this last week, and things seem to be slowly ramping up.
The downloads have averaged around 6-9mbps and I've gotten as high as 31mbps. So quite a range, and the places it spikes are fairly consistent. So I suspect certain towers either have better backhauls than others, or have just been installed and troubleshooted a little longer - so they're more stable.
Either way, about 30% of that route has a very solid LTE connection on my Galaxy Nexus. Not great, but a nice start, and about a 100x improvement over the 3g speeds I have been seeing.
Portland
Just my $.02 worth,
Portland just got partial LTE 2weeks ago, though it comes in and out at my apartment in Beaverton. It's odd, ill have full bars of 4g, then it just disappears. Either way, I've not seen a speedtest.net test of over 5.5MB down from my sgs3
Sprint LTE speed - Boston area
Sprint LTE speeds in the Boston Area. Download does spike over 20Mbps, but usually stays in the 15Mbps range. Upload is consistently around 7Mbps. Battery life has been fine, I'd rather get less battery on LTE than not being able to stream music on 3g...
Hello,
I have the S3 international version so i can't use 4g or 3g always getting 2g. So I was thinking to switching to t-mobile version.
Can anyone tell me what is the 4G speed.
Thanks

Depends on your area but my average speed is:
Upload: 1-2Mb
Download: 5-6Mb
It also changes depending on the rom you have if your rooted, for instance with serenity rom my speed is:
Upload: 3-5Mb
Download: 9-10Mb
Depends on your area, this is what I get around Columbia, sc

Check this to see if your area has been upgraded to hspa+42. If its not listed you're probably going to be on +21. (Maybe slower still in rural areas).
http://newsroom.t-mobile.com/articles/hspa42-fact-sheet
On +42 people seem to get on average 12-18Mbps downlink with peak speeds up to 28Mbps (fastest I remember seeing reported)
On +21 averages seem to be in the 4-9Mbps range with peaks up to 15Mbps.
Of course these are averages and peaks so ymmv. Check my modem thread sticky in the development area. Post 2 has a map where you can see if people in your area have reported their speeds.

Really depends on your coverage area. I sometimes get 25 down sometimes 9...upload is around 2

im also getting dl speeds of 6-10 mbps, upload 1-3 mbps
Highest reported in the post your top data speed thread I have created is 29mb. But I think I've seen above 30 on youtube... its no LTE 40+ that I've seen at&t do but it can get the job done that's for sure.

So, for the majority of last month I recall having absolute **** speeds on 3G ranging from 20 to 70 Kbps occasionally reaching to something like 120Kbps. This is in my normal coverage area where I can often get from 1100 to 1800 Kbps. I had thought that I might be getting throttled since I used a total of like 14GB of 3G last month. The new billing cycle started today and I'm still getting the same horrid speeds. What gives? I've already reflashed my ROM and modem without any benefit. Anyone else know what could be going on?

Sprint is the problem. LOL I'm not sure have you tried contacting Sprint? I'm jelly that you can even achieve 1200kbps.

I tried Sprint briefly years ago, sounds like they haven't improved much since then.
if not for the LTE in my area (san antonio) sprint would be unusable.
It sounds like 1X data speeds and not 3G, some of the stock roms display a 3G icon even when connected to 1X data. If you use the speedtest app
it will show a graph of the results, if the speed graph looks like it hits a ceiling around 100k,.it is probably connected to 1X data.
If you see multiple spikes in the graph well above 100k, it is probably a crappy connection/signal.
Same here. I'm on Virgin Mobile, but it's apart of Sprint too. It's been crappy for the past week.

So. Uh. If that isn't the best speed test you've ever seen? I think Jellybro has the 1x indicator fix and the normal upload speeds seem to indicate I'm on 3G. Sprint dude just said to take it to a store. I guess I'll do that. Unless going back to complete stock might fox something. I'll try that next.

It seems to only switch on in my house, ping is great, but the speeds are I'm guessing being worked on. First one should be LTE, second one H+, third just random speed tests. Even got a signal, however no data, on my Nexus 4.
What do you guys think?

Manhattan Subway platforms get LTE in a lot of stations, nothing on the ground. Queens and Brooklyn are mostly live. Getting constant solid connection in Astoria, Williamsburg, etc.
NYC is only 2x5Mhz market so we will see download speeds on par with HSPA+42, peaking around 30Mbps.
Later this year and next year, they'll repurpose MetroPCS spectrum, and we should be able to see twice the speeds of their current LTE. On par with Phoenix, DC, San Jose, San Francisco markets, etc..
All places in queens has LTE. Not Manhatten and Brooklyn.

It also seems to be working in most parts of queens, and a few spots in brooklyn. honestly, since HSPA is already so fast (i'm coming from sprint) i really didn't notice until i looked at my phone and noticed the icon had changed.
been getting it in Queens for a couple of weeks now, some areas the speed test are consistent, other areas it jumps all over the charts. also seeing it now in downtown bklyn(work), not as fast/consistent there. switching from Sprint to TMobile is still paying dividends!
