I'm currently on Rogers Canada right now. I have the Gnex NON-LTE version. I've been doing speedtests on my device and I've constantly been getting around 250kB/s, usually less. There are a couple times where I reached 850kB/s but most of the time just 250 which is quite slow. I've tested this in open areas.
The baseband it came with is UGKL1. I've been downloading stuff and usually I get around 250kb/s or even slower.
I now switched to the newer radio UGLA4. I am getting about the same results. Once or twice I did speedtests and got 640kb/s.
My feeling is that its Rogers network that's constantly giving me poor download speeds. Does anyone else have faster speeds with non-LTE Gnex on rogers? Any solutions? I've looked around but to no avail.
I just tested mine (Rogers Network) and I was getting a consistent 1mb/s upload and download. I do however at the moment have a good quality hspa connection.

That's not the LTE version right? What baseband are you using and where are you located in canada? I'm in the Vancouver region.
I think I partially figured out the reason why I'm getting slow speeds. I'm currently using AOKP ROM (milestone 4). There's a power saver setting where if I'm idle for a certain amount time (ie 10mins) it turns my connection to 2G. Yes I set that up. Once I wake my device it turns 3G/HSDPA back on. However going into the secret menu (*#*#4636#*#*) I noticed that the preferred network type is set on "GSM/CDMA auto". This is likely the be the issue, if I want HSDPA it should be set on WCDMA. Now I've set that to WCDMA Preferred. Doing a speed test I'm getting speeds of 400-500kb/s. That's a drastic improvement. However upload remains to be the same at around 150kb/s. However keeping the power saving option it reverts back to the "GSM/CDMA auto" after idle time.
I don't think I have quite solved my issue as this device should be about to download/upload at faster speeds. I'm going to change back to my old baseband and see. Please let me know the details about your phone, thanks!
Edit: I see you're from PEI. Let me know your baseband still, thanks!
That doesn't sound like a radio problem, sounds more like a tower problem. Have you triend driving around ant testing your signals in different places? I usually get between 2,5 and 9mps in and around montreal. Where did you try? Were your four signal bars on with the H and the arrow?

Yes I have. I get about the same results. I have tried both open areas and inside buildings. I just reinstalled old radio and my speeds with WCDMA only enabled gets me about 300+kB/s.
Just to clarify my kB/s or kb/s is kilobytes for seconds (not bits).
I doubt we should be having tower problems in Vancouver though....
So I tried driving around more with the new baseband I got about 1000kB/s. Upload was still slow at around 200kB/s. Any reason why? I found some people believe that rogers caps the limit but still too low for me.
Could possibly be your carrier throttling the speed? For most users 250kbs is more than enough.
I have the gsm version and live in the UK. If I get 2.5mb download speeds over HSPA I consider it fast!

I'm on Bell, I get between 6-9Mbps down and 2.5-3.5Mbps up consistently.
Yea it's been pretty much up and down for me. Most of the time I get around 500kbyte/s and around 230 indoor. Upload is just pure crap for me outside or in. I've been getting around 150-200kbyte/s, mostly 160ish. Sometimes I even get 80kB/s. This is a problem and I don't know if its the phone or just poor coverage. I'm leaning towards poor coverage as I did manage to get a fast 900kbyte/s download and 250kbyte/s upload.
To those moving to mobilicty, honestly the coverage with them is worse. I can't stand dropped calls. I have friends who are on both wind and mobilicity and they tell me about the dropped calls. I sometimes have to make important calls and dropped calling is a nono. They can deal with it but for me I can't.
I've been with Mobilicity for just over a year now and I have never once had a dropped call. Coverage is poor though I've just never been on a call with poor coverage I guess. Basically if you stay editing the gta minus oakville you will have no problems

It's probably the tower and/or the server you're testing on, not the phone.

a lot of us are from the US here so we won't be able to do much to help you since your an orange subscriber. if you notice, most of us have usa companies in our sidebar.
as far as your issue. i don't think it's something with the phone. your best bet is to go into the orange store where you bought the device and talk to them about the issue and see whats going on.
i'm on T-Mobile USA, and i've had no issues with the speedtest app and have been getting on average 5Mbps down on 3G.
I have the same issue with my Galaxy Nexus. It is bought from Spain. I have tried all GSM radios, several ROMs, including the stock ones, nothing. The same SIM, in a Galaxy S II, on SpeedTest.net app (same server) gets 5 mbps, on my Nexus it never goes past 300kbps and it extremely jittery.
I suspect the phone is defective. What are your thoughts?
Your best bet is to call up your service provider and have them run through the settings of your access point names with you to make sure the settings are right.
If it's a hardware problem, you will most likely not be able to connect to 3G at all.

That gave me an idea and I found the problem. On each reboot Orange forces down my throat the settings and it defaults to WAP. THAT is why nothing works on mobile data; if I delete all APNs and manually create just the one for data it is fine.
I live in Michigan, and the best spped I can ever get is about 8 mbps download. Am I doing anything wrong?
Also, going to Vegas on Wen. Can anyone tell me what speeds they were / are getting in Vegas????

I have traveled multiple times between Chicago, NJ / Newark, and Boston. I regularly got 2 to 3 mbs using an HTC SENSATION. With the GS2, I rarely get below 4, have not yet gotten above 7mbs, and most often about 5 mbs. So, I'm about 2 x faster, or even a bit more, with the Gs2 than the sensation.
In all 3 of those areas, the tmo speeds vary a LOT during the day. The 7mbs? 1 am. the slow speeds? 7pm. Tmo seems to have a congestion problem, but still decent speeds, my parents home dls is 6mbs. Verizon galaxy nexus is most often above 12, and often above 20mbs in the same areas.
Good luck in vegas!
It can be due to network congestion or simply the market in which you live. Some markets, even though your phone will show "4G", might just simply may not be optimized for HSDPA

My guess is you're on UMTS.
I'm sure it's all area driven. I'm considering switching to TMobile with this Note because the savings are incredible, but the coverage and speed compared to Verizon are absurd no matter where I go. Very disappointing.

I have been in similar situations before. I get 4g full bar but less than 300kpbs near a local shopping plaza. Less than 1/8 mile away I get 12mbps speeds. Go figure. I was testing out on both my Galaxy S2 and Galaxy S3 same time so it is definitely not a phone problem.
I hate to say it, but this phone's speeds just aren't acceptable to me after using LTE. Sounds like a whiny sort of complaint, but spending this much on a superphone..I did about a billion speedtests around eastern MI and it was rare to catch a good 4G signal like they demoed in the store. They also seem to have issues with their signal penetrating buildings. I love the phone, and would love to get away from Verizon and maybe use the new Nexus device too but they aren't there yet for me.

I'd think here it would be at least as stable. But even at best I got 7 down. For comparison in a old wood frame house downstairs I'd get 22 on Verizon where the Note pulls 2g. Maddening as the more I see what they do with their phones the less I want to stay with them.

Last night was averaging 29mbps and highest was 31.59mbps in the burbs of Chicago. Yet when I am in Downtown Chicago which supposedly has 42mbps, I only get 5-8mbps.
I travel all over the east coast for work, and know T-Mobiles network inside and out. I travel to small cities as much as big cities, so being able to connect to a network is important. If I were new to T-Mobile, and the Note 2 was my first phone, I'd think T-mobiles network sucked. I have 2 lines, a Sensation I use to mainly to tether with (10gb plan), and my main line the Galaxy Note 2 (unlimited 4g plan). I keep getting a message saying, "not connected to network" in areas where I should definitely be on the edge network, or roaming. The Sensation will be connected on a network when the Note will give the not connected message. My overall speeds in 4g areas are better with the Note than the Sensation, but not in secluded areas.
When the Sensation first came out, it wasn't connecting to T-Mobiles network correctly, then they sent out an update that fixed the problems. My first couple of weeks with the Sensation were hell because of that. Now I'm dealing with it again with the Note 2. I'm hoping that they fixed the data issues in the first ota update, which I hope happens soon.
Here are some speeds I've gotten in the past few days...
Dothan Al - 2.03 mbps
Jacksonville FL suburbs - 17.69
Harrisburg PA - 5.45
Chattanooga TN - 2.31
us231 on FL/AL border - .88
Atlanta 14.81
Jacksonville and Charlotte has better speeds than Philly. I've yet to find a place with over 20mbps

Yeah i live in fort meyer and my coverage is pretty damn good...
My area is rated good to excellent according to T-Mobile, but that obviously is subjective. The step back from LTE just isn't doable for me on a premium device. I'm glad I learned that while i had time to back out. I understand better what a huge sacrifice of tech it is on the Nexus phone now. But I envy those it doesn't impact obviously.
It could always be worse op. I'm currently with sprint but will be switching to tmo in a little while so I've been lurking the forums. I have the nexus, a 4g lte phone and I pay for unlimited data, yet I only average 200kbps on 3g, and Saint Louis will be lucky to see sprint lte by the end of 2013.

Wow. It seems like you live in an area with HSPA+ 42 coverage. Where I live, I only get HSPA+ 21 coverage, which is more like 2.5 MB/s. When downloading apps I usually get around that speed as well. The 300kb/s speed you're getting might be due to server congestion, which has little to do with your connection. Only a few times have I had to deal with slow downloads from Google Play.

I'm in Birmingham, AL, which I think is HSPA+ 21, and I usually get around 7-11 mbps. Don't think I'm really missing anything by not having LTE.
IMO HSPA+ 21 is good enough for anything I've come across so far (YouTube, downloading apps, web browsing, streaming radio). Unless you're a data-speed freak you're probably not going to notice the difference between HSPA+ and LTE, unless you download large files often.

The big difference I see between HSPA+ and LTE is latency. There is no comparison. LTE kills it, no waiting for connection and data starting to download. Also very noticeable in high subscriber density environments (Disneyland for instance). LTE handles lots of devices more efficiently than HSPA.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
Same area as another poster here.. clearwater/largo, on my T999 I get 5-15 down, 2 up, depending on the time of day... Since I got my S4, I get 29/10 all day every day on LTE, I laugh because my phone is faster than my bright house connection and cheaper... plus, as others have said, latency kills HSPA+, I cant even download stuff without a connection interrupt. I just wish there was some way to switch the S4 to LTE only and still do calling, but Tmobile AFAIK does not support voice over LTE...to bad you cant re-rout the wifi calling over it to fool the phone into thinking its calling over wifi.

I just switched over to Tmobile from AT&T and I'm having horrible download and upload speed. I got the phone last night and I have been consistently getting under 1 mbps download and upload. Sometimes speeds will go up to 5 or 6 (for a short time) but never more than that. Is this an issue with my new phone (LG G4) or congested network. I tried a factory reset and many reboots with the same result. Any help would be great. Thanks!!
The last speed test with 15 mbps was while I was at work, so this is only going on at my home.

Look at the coverage map again and zoom in to street level. See what it says then
I live in Hayward and have been getting terrible T-Mobile speeds for a few months now. I called T-Mobile and they said they're updating the network in my area, that's it's been going on for a few months and should continue for a few more.
Cleared data cache and did a speed test and it was in the 20 mbps range (this was while on the phone with a T-Mobile rep). Subsequent speed tests after I ended the call were back to my unusually slow speeds. Going to give them another class this weekend.
I used to get great speeds, but now I'm not getting LTE speeds at all.

I'm just outside a Chicago a few miles. 2 miles away would be a Chicago Zip code less than 20 mins from the loop my speeds been crap for almost a year this is why I never upgraded added a data plan just the 1GB free didn't need alot but not going to pay for speeds where I'm only getting 1-3 at night and 0.50 -1 down during the day. The 4g speeds are better not much but they are. I only have 2-3 bars inside full signal outside but that does not matter. I just live in a ****ty spot but it's just not where I live I run into this alot on the go just around the area or a few miles away.
You know what's funny did a speed test around 1am got the same results I posted above just did one now and guess what. 30 down and 4.5 up I know other areas are faster but I can live with that and buy data if the other areas are about the same. I wonder if they finish the upgrade in the Chicago area or maybe mine ? I had to take another look to make sure I wasn't on Wifi but once I seen the upload speed I knew it wasn;t since my ISP is faster then that.
Just did a few test outside 4 or 5 bars in 5 different spots hit 19-47 down and 14-18 up looks to be decent finally.
I recently switched to T-Mobile as well. There is an area in my neighborhood where I can pull down over 70 Mbps!! If I move two or three blocks over towards my house though, it drops down to around 10-15 Mbps. I use WiFi in my house so I'm not that annoyed though.
Are the speeds horrible everywhere in your neighborhood? Are the speeds bad just INSIDE your house? What if you step outside? Remember T-mobile runs on higher frequency and maybe your house blocks the signals.

I'm on B4 also, Check to see if your on BW:15. Which is just 15x15, which equals more bandwidth.

Yes BW 15. Just ****ty they might be doing upgrade's so I don't know. I just know it's always been crap and took a test again now to prove it 0.19 Down and 0.97 Up on LTE. So I don't know what that one test was the other day maybe they were doing some testing ? Because I hit 47 Down and 18 up on the one test. As I mentioned it don't matter much since I have Wifi at the house but I'd be pissed if I was paying any extra for Data and not getting something that's atleast usable. I'm sure my area will catch up in time.

I just switched over to Tmobile from AT&T and I'm having horrible download and upload speed. I got the phone last night and I have been consistently getting under 1 mbps download and upload. Sometimes speeds will go up to 5 or 6 (for a short time) but never more than that. Is this an issue with my new phone (LG G4) or congested network. I tried a factory reset and many reboots with the same result. Any help would be great. Thanks!!
The last speed test with 15 mbps was while I was at work, so this is only going on at my home.
Edit: I live in the San Francisco/Daly City area
