Wow that is pretty impressive, I am getting 3mbps in the Bay Area, and I thought that was great.

Mind to share what apn setting you use?

I was just in Philadelphia over the weekend and loved the speeds on ATT. I got 7 Mbps with a ping around 80. So good compared to here in Cali.

I'm in Orlando FL. At home about 1-3 down and .5 up, but at work (a few miles away) I get 3-4 solid and 1 up.
At home on a Sunday am I get solid 6 down and 1 up.
So I'm happy, my "unlimited" data lasts longer than if I had an LTE.
Ran XXLA2 then changed to UGLC1 and see really no diff.
I did get Getril Premium and matched up my RIL but no diff then either.
My reception with this phone sucks in my house but at work it's stellar.
Of course at work I can see the tower from my office window .
APN: I use standard default from the first time I put in the ATT sim from my Atrix.

Here's what we are getting in Vilnius/Lithuania.
HSPA or HSDPA (I dont know the diff; at least I see "H" near the signal strenght).

~30mbps in Boston

You can't get around 30 Mbps with a HSPA+21 phone. You either have a Verizon or Sprint version

Is this speed right

Just done a speed test on my nexus with the speedtest app and I got a speed of 1544kbps download and 440kbps upload ... is this speed OK over 3g? Or is this kinda slow. I'm not too sure what speed I should be getting.

Below are my 3g speeds. Depends where you are, signal, whether or not there is a lot of bandwidth available etc.
Yesterday I was getting speeds closer to yours in the exact same place I got the 7mbps.

For cdma is good for GSM tho seems slow since I just to get between 3-8mbps on ATT

the only way to know if its a "good" speed is if you can compare to a different phone on the same network near you, or another phone, swapping your SIM into it to test.
What speeds do you all see on the Galaxy Nexus? I am considering getting this, and using it on T-Mobile. I replied to some other posts about this, but didn't really get firm responses. I have a HTC Amaze, and see speeds in the 18Mbps area, and 3 - 6 in a bad coverage area. The Amaze supports HSPA+ 42, and the Galaxy Nexus HSPA+ 21. Will I see 18Mbps on the Galaxy Nexus, or 7 - 8 like most people post. Of course, T-Mobile is the only U.S. carrier with HSPA+ 42.

Where are you located? I think you will be disappointed with the nexus speeds if you are getting those kinds of speeds on your Amaze. I have averaged between 1 and 3 Mbps down in minneapolis.

Yeah, it is. I haven't rooted/put a custom ROM onto my device, tho so maybe doing that might help the speeds. I have been kind of dissatisfied with T-mobile in that aspect. The funny thing is that they sent me a text message survey a few weeks ago asking me if i would recommend t-mobile to friends, to which I responded very unlikely. Yesterday I got a phone call from t-mobile trying to get more information out of me about why I was dissatisfied. I tried to answer as best I could, and in the end, they gave me a $25 credit. I still keep thinking of things that I wish I would have said to them. Like for example whenever I go to a place where there are tons of people like at a concert or something, I will have no chance of calling or texting. My phone says I have signal, but there is no signal.

[Q]Signal Strength with T-Mobile?

So I'm switching over from the T-Mobile G2x and I'm getting the Galaxy Nexus from the play store next week, and I wanna know how good is T-Mobile on this phone like the signal strength? Which HSPA+ do we get 21 or 42? Just wanna make sure it works with T-Mobile.

Oh it works and its only 21 but not like bit matters no one comes close and signal strength is crap in my house it struggles to get one bar where the s2 got two or three. But service is good nonetheless

I had a g2x. The nexus gets better service than it did across the board, but my SGS4G got a little better data speeds (its also a 21hspa+ device) whereas the nexus does better on cell service.

Honestly, my speeds with big red weren't really that far off. I've very seldom gotten over 30 down and 10 up w Verizon. They're about the same as far as the speeds I've seen. Its the coverage that's scketchy.

Carrier pigeon is faster than Sprint 3g, so it doesn't take much.

i'm trying to locate a good place to buy Sprint Nexus off-contract, mint-condition used or new to use on Sprint network without signing/extending contact. i currently have gt-i9250 on t-mobile, while my friend has htc evo on sprint, i wanna switch him over to nexus experience without singing another 2 year contract.
Anyone knows a good place in Boston/Mass/NH or online where i can buy SPH-L700?!
Thank you in advance
and sorry for not creating separate thread.
Not to be a downer, but when I got the TBolt (First Verizon 4G Lte phone) my speeds were constantly 35+ Mbps everywhere I went. Now that everyone and their mother has a 4G phone I am lucky to get about 10 - 15Mbps in most places. Saturation is a killer.

Fastest speed tests note 2 att

I have been getting 20 mbs down and around 14 mbs up. Anyone getting better then this?

i used to pull down 40-60mbps in the metro atlanta area on my old LTE skyrocket but on my note 2, i've been averaging 15-20mbps. other cities i've traveled to, i was seeing 30+.
i got the skyrocket right at launch and it was samsung's first at&t LTE phone so i'm guessing that the network's bandwidth was hardly being used but with the iphone 5, gs3, and note 1 & 2, there's a lot more congestion which is driving the speeds way down.
I recently had about 45 down and 25 up around Detroit since there's like no one there haha

I had this problem when I first got my NoteII. I was coming from a NON LTE device so when I switched the phone they didn't put me on a LTE plan. If you are in a good area where they have LTE give AT&T a call and make sure you are on a LTE plan. Also if you are on a custom ROM you may have the wrong APN settings.
On LTE I am getting 55 down 35 up all times of day.

Here were some of my recent LTE speed tests.

Is this lte speed?

Hey guys I'm sitting at campus waiting to do my Fasfa and I decided to do a speed test. I know tmo is releasing lte in Providence rhode Island but I didn't think it was this early
If this is lte this is why I love living in a small state all the wireless providers always have us on theur list
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
That looks like HSPA to me. Speeds are consistent with HSDPA and short of typical HSUPA. That and your signal indicator shows H+.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
What kind of speeds did you pull before? I live in Reno and I get speeds like that- and we do not have LTE yet.
I usually pull 5 never anything above 15-20
Is there another way to test for lte

I can't believe you are getting speeds like that in LA- I took a trip to Irvine a few months ago and couldn't get more than 3mbs. I am so used to the speeds in Reno that range from 9mbs-19mbs consistently, I was so frustrated! How entitled we are now. I remember when 1.5mbs was FAST! I can't wait to try out true LTE, already my data speeds are faster on "4g" than my WiFi connection at home.
