Question on sprint data woahs

Is sprint data woahs a speed issue or a capacity issue. Seems like data speeds are better late night and early mornings. But during peak times its slow......anyone have any thoughts on this. Because honestly data speeds were fine until a couple months after the evo dropped and sprint became the only unlimited data provider...

Data speeds have been an issue in some areas since the beginning of the year.
It's a capacity issue.
They've been working on it and network vision will solve the issue.

omg i can't believe i did that. lol i know it's woes lol

I first got Sprint when evo dropped... returned it and cancelled because I couldn't even stream Pandora at my gym lol. Ended up getting it again with another device through work basically, still sucked. Moved to a new area, is better, but still sucks compared to data speeds offered by other carriers in same area. Right before iPhone hit, got way worse, I actually even began roaming some places, that's how bad it got. Lately, it has been even worse. Places I got decent download speeds I now get maybe 20-400kbps, while tmobile and att pull 2-7mbps all over town. And no, it isn't my device, same issues on evo, epic 4g, epic touch, nexus s, photon, arrive...
Point is, sprint in Colorado is getting worse by the month. We used to think they ere upgrading, but it has been too long. I know it is same case for Atlanta.
Why so I stay? Service is practically free. If it wasn't, I'd pay more just so that I wouldn't have to be on damn wifi to load Facebook even.

Doesn't get any better on 3g in Jacksonville. My latest speed fest average was 54kbps down and
100kbps up. Luckily I can get 4g and am getting 3mbps/1mbps on it

i actually dont trust speed test app's, to really test the speed, i wireless tether to my laptop and then download from the newsgroups to see what consistent speed i can get. i am downloading a movie right now at 6.6mb

[Q] is anyone else experiencing slower 3g speeds on ek02?

Just updated OTA to ek02 and am experiencing slower 3g speeds... with and without the tweak. Anyone else noticing this or is it just me?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

For me with update, 3g is same, but 4g is almost double.

If they get any slower they'll stop completely (at least for me).

Sprint is so slow anyway that o havent noticed anything yet

Sprint's 3G is stupid slow. It's completely unusable around here. For example, the Android Market. Most things say they are "starting to download" then they never do.
I did a speed test and my ping was like 900~1100+ with a download speed of 7~13kbps and an upload speed of 50~100kbps or so.
Seriously, 7~13kbps download?
The only reason I put up with this crap is I'm almost NEVER away from wireless. I work in the technologies field with full gig-network access on almost all the campuses I'm at threw out the day and 105mbit at home.

Wow, that is really slow. I don't have it that bad lol. But with that ping and those speeds, it seems like something is uploading constantly. That's the only time I've ever seen speed tests like that for me, while i was uploading songs to Google music. That's interesting.
As for the speed test tho, i feel there is an issue with the actually test and specifically our 3g. The reason i say this is because the speed test will give me a result of 40-50kB/s, but then i will download a torrent at like 150kB/s.... all in the same area. Very weird.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Sprints download speed for me is around .12kbs to .45kbs in good reception areas... in the same areas ATT gets 3.5mbs and Verizon is very stable with good reception and stable internet that is around 1.5 mbs... so ATT is wicked fast 3g but the reception and internet are both hit and miss as far as coverage goes. Where as Verizon may not be the fastest internet, they are well within my personal tolerance and needs... and their coverage surpasses ATT by a long haul in my area... notice i haven't mentioned sprint? That's because my download speeds on average are (like previously stated) between 10kbs and 50kbs at most! 50kbs is the fastest I've ever gotten with the speestest.net app! Don't even get me started on call reception.... I've honestly had more dropped calls in a month and a half then I've had with every other company combined throughout my life. End rant

I've had the most luck with EL29 modem.

I am on el26. I'll try that. I just wanted to see if someone actually tested Al of them to see what differences there are.

Yeah I've run pretty much all of them (with the exceptions of FD19 and FD26). I had some decent ratings on FB27, FC05 and FD10 but EL29 always gave me the best.

I've had the best of luck on EL29 as well. Which isn't saying much however as the speeds are still MEH for me.

People will tell you every phone is different and you have to try them all but I really don't see how that could possibly be the case. There would have to be some serious quality control issues in Samsung's production line for that to happen. All of that said, I did try a whole bunch of them (EL29, FB, FC, FD) in one sitting to try to get as close to an apples to apples comparison as possible. EL29 came out the winner for me too.

I use FD19
FD19 has given me the best results so far. I am getting 1.3 Mbps down (with only -91db of signal in my middle-of-nowhere home.) This is versus FD26 which I only got 748Kbps down.

EL29 hands down. sitting in the exact same spot, FD26 hit avg. 0.45. first test on EL29 in the same spot got 1.56. averaged 0.75 on 4 tests. (In San Francisco)

3G and 4G speeds. I used to never get 4G in this spot. Yay for network vision?

No because Network Vision deal with LTE - not wimax.

how fast are your 3G speeds?

Hey so I have a question for you guys. How fast are your 3G speeds? I'm asking because my gs3 won't go over 600 kb even at my best service. And my wifi is also extreamly slow. The wifi doesn't make sence to me Cuz my Droid x2 uses the same wifi and it gets triple the speed that my gs3 gets. Any one have the same problem or have a solution for this?

My WiFi is fine. 3g sucks.

LOL, that's about what I get when I'm roaming on your network(I'm with US Cellular). I thought it was just cause I was roaming.

I can't say the words "Sprint", "3G" and "Fast" in the same sentence without laughing (or crying) :laugh:
This is in the Denver area:
Ping: 366 ms
Down: 23 kbps
Up: 326 kbps

Nope.. its because the network here absolutely sucks. Ive done battle with Sprint for over a year about the crappy signal here and gotten nowhere.

Here are mine. Funny thing is I live in a very small town in Western New York and we got 2 Network Vision towers put up recently with 4 more on the way lol. But hey I'm not complaining

I get about 600 here in phoenix. No 4g here

I've seen MAX almost 2 Mbps. Average speed is about 1. Pittsburgh area.

I just got 446 kbps this morning but 9507 kbps tonight. No 4g and 905 nightly cm10. It seems things run better a day or two after flashing. Could be my imagination.
OK forget it, I had the wifi turned on ... "if it's too good to be true..."

At least Tucson has usable 3g. Come to Phoenix and you will average .3 mbps.

Anything below 100k is from my desk at work in downtown Portland, Oregon. Gotta love the 7/473 one. The 300k+ ones are from my living room in the burbs where I have wifi so I never use 3g there. I hope the LTE service is not so lackluster at work...

I'm in phoenix and my speeds are perfectly fine.

I would espect better speeds for paying 10 extra dollars a month for advance data. I have to use wifi most of the time when i am indoors.

well, my fastest speeds are at work (the tests at around 3am)
I work inside of a big steel building where sprint is basically the only carrier that gets perfect service inside my building. They've been upgrading the tower near my work a lot too. Last year I wasn't even getting half my current speed

My fastest speed might come close to matching your slowest test. The test result I see around hete are barly three digits, at 500kps down and 300up.
