I've always been curious how much 4G speeds vary from place to place. I travel a lot for work, but lets face it, Sprint coverage maps are pretty much a best case scenario or an Opium induced fantasy at best. Post your 4G speeds with a screen shot, (pics or it didn't happen), please no flaming. If you don't have 4G in your area, please don't troll! Hopefully Sprint will get you covered when lte rolls out.
Real simple, get speedtest.net. Check your 4g speeds.
Take at least 3 tests to show average.

4g? What's that?
Ha, ain't got 4g here.
Speeds vary. If I take them in the morning i get 9mbps and at night. In the afternoon 4g is kinda bad

+1 Seams as though network traffic is definitely lower at night. Varies by tower as well. Just a few miles up the road in Kansas City, I can get upwards of 10M with a weaker signal then I have at home.

I'm having horrible 3G speeds at work here and was wondering if anyone else was having these issues? It shows i have full 3G bars yet when i run speed test i'm consistently getting only around 100 Kbps, I'm not sure if it's the service or the phone.
Anyone else noticing ridiculously slow 3G speeds?
Not sure. Here are my Verizon 3G speeds.

Here's my past couple ones on 3G. I dunno whether or not to call Verizon about this or not.
Why wouldn't you call Verizon about it? If it's a network problem, they could tell you. If it's a defective phone, they could help you with that as well.
I always get horrible 3g speeds at my job... similar to what you are seeing even though the signal is good. I think some towers are slower then others.
Were you getting better speeds before this phone?

Those look identical to Sprint 3G speeds.

I would give verizon tech support a call, maybe they can provision the phone again and and maybe that would help. You're sitting in a good 3G and 4G area, there isn't any reason to get those kind of speeds you're seeing.
What are your 3g and 4g speeds I want to make the the switch from sprint I live in south Florida

Ditto, I live in Ohio and my last speed check on 4G was almost 20 mbs down/15 mbs up.
In Fort Myers I've had less than desirable 4G speeds.

3G & 4G results. I'm just south of West Palm Beach. It seems pretty consistent in this area. I've had it for about 2 weeks now, so far so good.

I am vacationing with family in York county in VA and just did a test. I got 5268kbps down and 811kbps up. No where near as good as my speed in Ohio but better than what I saw on your results. You would think that in a metropolitan area like yours it would be faster... meh.

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

I am located in NYC, so most likely I would get awesome speed
Speed varies, even within like 10 feet.
Nyc should get good speed expect lite low 8 to high 20 average most likely 12

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
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
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.

Nice speeds. But you should post them in the LTE sticky thread. This one will probably get locked.

Just a few tests over the weekend while on the highway between North Central Illinois and Indiana.
Overall pretty good, but a few really good spikes... 34.9 Down is nice
Damn you people with 4g
Chances are I'll have a s4 before I get lte

In NYC? Really? They're rolling it out there right now. There's good coverage in the Bronx according to Sensorly, and there is progress in Brooklyn and Manhattan. Unless you can somehow get a hold of an S4 in the next 3 or 4 months, I doubt you'll have the S4 before LTE.
I'm in the Bronx and I would say about 80% of the time I can pull LTE

Hey, I don't get it where I am normally... (Home nor work) which is really depressing... EVERYWHERE else that I go that is slightly outside of the norm though it seems to be 4G heaven...
I live on the outskirts of Marengo, IL and looking at the 4G coverage map is really depressing... we're like... in between rockford and elgin, which... both have 4G and it reaches JUST to us... but drops out between... how aggravating.
It was silly, I went down to my Aunt's in Indiana for Xmas and got 4G like the WHOLE trip between my house and her house... At my house... 3G/1X... At her house... Barely able to maintain a 1X Data connection at all, I just shut it off... Literally a mile away from her house... back in 4G land... like... wtf! Same thing with my parents house in Plainfield... The ENTIRE way down there... 4G... her house? Barely getting 3G... Sprint just hates me and my family. Lol.
They have told me that they are working on the towers near my house though, so that's a plus, and on top of that the CS rep told me that they put a mark on my account that when it's complete, I can call back in and have them credit me for the "down" time. So again, will be nice to have a month or two of 4G for free when it's done.
Please post LTE discussions in the LTE Sticky thread
Thanks

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?

I'm in the Mott Haven area.
I am picking up LTE in some random places every once in a while. Some subway statin on Q line (around 42-59th), attached is a screenshot from Prospect Park in Brookyn

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!
