I am in the Chicago area and LTE speeds seem low to me. What is everyones average with the Lumia 900?
When I was in Boston I was getting 15-20down and 3-6up
5-12 mbps here in Vegas.
Here in Orlando it varies pretty wildly based on (I assume) network load. Currently getting about 20-25 down, but sometimes it gets as low 8-10. Up is pretty steady around 6-10.
I got 8-10 down in Evanston, IL and get 22 down in San Fran.
Chicago's LTE sucks. 6to9 down and 1to3 up my galaxy S2 did almost as good and it was not LTE.

Hello fellow T-Mobile Gnex users. I just received my GSM Gnex last night.
What kinds of speeds are you guys getting in speed tests, and from what city?
I have not changed as settings as of yet, but wondered if there were any that needed to be changed to achieve the best possible speeds, such as APN settings.
Also, were there any specific radios/ "Testing" menu settings changes that you had to change?
In Anaheim, CA.
Outdoors I hit 10mbps versus indoors I hit 3-5mbps.
I didn't modify the APN. I'm on epc.tmobile.com
>8mbps down
>2mbps up
indoors. dallas, tx.
i put my sim in and haven't done **** to the phone.
New Yersey
>10mb
>3mb
Thanks for the replies guys. My office is a cell-phone dungeon (Stuck on edge in here). Once I get outside/ "downtown" for my city, I will report in with speeds.
I'm slow I guess...
In Atlanta, getting 4-5mb down and 1-1.5mb upload. Using UGKL1 radio. KK6 caused signal drops (only solution was a reboot) and KK7 was useless - only 2.5mb download speed.
sf bay area -- get between 5-11 down and 1.7 up
have played with with a variety of settings including apn, but doesn't really seem to matter wrt speed
IN Dallas Texas ... Finally about to order my GSM Galaxy Nexus Tomorrow.Was wondering where did you order yours??? Cant wait to look at my Nexus One, Nexus S, and soon to be Galaxy Nexus all laying together .....

This is the best speed I've pulled thus far. 12.7 down 3.6 up.
I'm in Atlanta using kk6 radio. After changing to the kk6 radio, I noticed my speeds seemed to improve and so did the bars displayed for signal strength.

13.2 mbps on average 8-9mbps
3-5mbps up
I'm in NYC. The highest I've gotten in Manhattan was about 11.45 Mbps downstream, and this only happened once. T-Mobile's data speeds vary wildly throughout the city and are nowhere near the speeds that forum members from other cities are reporting. On my block (I live in Brooklyn), I've been getting about 1.5 - 1.7 Mbps downstream. A couple of blocks to the North, the downstream speeds are about 4.5 - 6.0 Mbps. A couple of blocks to the East, the speeds drop to about 0.06 - 0.1 Mbps (this is not an exaggeration). I was thinking of switching to Verizon when the GNex was announced, but decided to get the GSM version and ride out the rest of my contract with TMo. I have a two-line family plan, and my wife's line will be out of contract in October. Unless TMo gets their affairs in order, I doubt I'll be renewing.
sad.... 3.6mb down and .8 mb up....

I just did a speed test outside of Chelsea Market (15th St. and 9th Ave.) and was lucky enough to get 4.4 Mbps downstream, with a ping of 1900 ms. This is one of the better results I've gotten in NYC. I have no idea how other TMo users are getting high speeds - I know it's not my SIM card, as my wife is getting speeds similar to mine on her G2.

Eh? the tests I got today are 6-7 Mbps. I even got speeds of 8-10 at one point (not today because I wasn't in that area).
So what kind of download speeds are you getting? I'm sad to report my iPhone 3GS downloads faster than this phone where I live. This thread is my hope to reach out to the world and see that the phones can download faster than 1.5 mbps.
Thank you all!
Uh yeah,
I'm not in a 4G LTE area, but my "4G" HSPA+ speeds are depressing too, but not quite that bad.
I'm at 3mb down and 1mb up, which is still a joke for a 21.1mbps HSPA+ device.

It's weird, my SGII Skyrocket got around 20mbps and this phone only gets 3-4. I think AT&T does funny things with the data profiles.

22/6.5
is that ok?
22.69 down/ 4.98 up - LTE Houston, TX
Depends.... at my job in the Financial District in NYC I get ~15mbps down/4 up on LTE.
At my apartment in Brooklyn, I get ~21mbps down/6 up.
Go fig.
So why is it I used to get 20MBPS with my GSII but with this phone I'm lucky to get 4? Should I factory reset?
I was in that area today and thought I would check on some data speeds. I was able to get download speeds of 1700 kbps. Now it was around 8am, but I thought that was really good. Upload was only 300-550kbps but didn't think it was too hateful. I had around half signal, so maybe things are looking up.
My average speeds, just outside of San Antonio Texas are about 1200kbps. I peaked at 1600kbps. My uploads peaked at 700kbps while the average was about 550kbps. I must say, it's pretty impressive for sprint's 3g network.

That is great. I guess I should mention that I was on 3g when getting those speeds.
Hello,
I am considering switching from my lumia 900 to the GNex HSPA+ on ATT. The Lumia 900 has LTE while the GNex using HSPA+ 21. I understand that i wont be getting anywhere near LTE speeds, but what speeds are yall seeing? I am in Dallas and have pretty good coverage using either signals.

I came from a Skyrocket on AT&T and was getting about 30mb/s down and 10mb/s up while on LTE.
My Nexus gets around 3 to 4 mb/s down and ~1 mb/s up on HSPA+.
The strange thing is my wife and son use normal GSII's and they can get 7 mb/s download speeds consistently using the same 'phone' APN as I am. I don't think the Nexus has as good a radio as the GSII does.
Is it a show stopper for you? I mean honestly how often do you see slowness due to download speeds?
I'm glad LTE is here, but for me personally, I can stream google nav with pandora radio at good quality, so HSPA+ is fine for me.
As soon as I stop my car, Im almost always in Wifi coverage
Not a show stopper for me. HSPA+ is just fine for whatever I want to do.
About a month ago my area upgraded from EDGE to HSPA+. I finally decided to play with the speedtest.net app yesterday and I was only managing download speeds of maybe 1 or 2Mb, on a good test. This is enough for casual use, I suppose, but most people (on this board at least) seem to be getting much better speeds than that. A nearby area where the State University resides also produces similar speeds on my GNex and my previous phone (AT&T Galaxy S2).
Is this normal or do I need to change something on my phone?

1-3mbps is pretty normal for me indoors with 2-3 bars of signal, with 4-5 or so outdoors with better signal. I can only pull down those crazy numbers of 10+ with HSPA+ late at night when the towers aren't as busy. I'm in a small town, but we've had HSPA+ for a good year or more now (heck, I was on Verizon when it was switched on, so I don't know exactly how long...). Maybe your network is still getting upgraded / installed and the process isn't done yet?
I'm on the T-mobile $30 plan, by the way. I've heard AT&T's HSPA+ can be significantly slower in some places, so that may be part of it?
if they just rolled out the towers a month ago and upgraded to HSPA+, I'm not at all surprised by those speeds.
Att's hspa is notoriously slow compared to Tmo. I see between 6 and 18 mbps on my Tmo phones and my Att phones max out at around 6, averaging around 3.
For an area that just now got hspa turned on when the rest of the country is getting LTE, those speeds you are describing seem perfectly normal.

I'm on T-Mobile and 1-2Mb is normal for me with 5 bars. If I'm extremely lucky I sometimes see 3Mb.
T-Mobile's "4G" in Phoenix is exactly the same speed as my 3G Vibrant.

True, location also plays a big role.

I would be happy to get 6Mb down with AT&T in Austin. Max is about 3.1Mbps which I think is crap since we know it is capable of more. Interestingly, AT&T LTE in the same areas rock!

Well that's also because T-Mobile has HSPA+ 42mbps deployed, and devices that can make use of it. Most AT&T devices are at best 21mbps capable, and not all of their towers are.
Depends on signal strength. On VZW LTE I can pull 20+ mbps in Seattle, but only 2-5 mbps in outlying areas.

"4g" in quotes, and OP specifically is talking about AT&T.
I'll have to run speedtest some more when I'm out of town and see what kind of numbers I can get. I would be interested to see what speeds a 3G phone gets in the same region as my "4G" Gnex (HSPA+ via AT&T, not LTE via Verizon).
