UPDATED: POST YOUR SPEEDS HERE! Sprint LTE is live! Post your screenie for all of us not in the initial roll out areas to drool over!
_________________________________________________
Has anyone had or seen LTE service with Sprint on their GS3 yet?
Yes, only as they are testing tho. They have not turned them on to us yet. Very Promising!! More info a S4GRU.com.
It's comforting to know that after I receive my 32GB, I will just replace refreshing the myorder site multiple times a day with refreshing the spring coverage map multiple times a day.

Not too long ago I had been seeing several random places popping up with network testing going on happening somewhat frequently, but lately it seems to have gone quiet. Wonder if it's the calm before the storm.

Those upload speeds look promising. Hopefully once they get LTE up and running smoothly we'll maybe get to see some speeds like these AT&T & T-Mobile guys are posting. :jealous:

I'm surprised there isn't more chatter about Sprint's LTE plans on this forum. I think the success or failure of the NV program will make or break this phone, and Sprint itself. For sure it affects my own decisions about both. The timing will be critical.
p.s. I second the recommendation about the s4gru.com site. It is must reading for anyone who cares about the Sprint rollout, and who wants to make an informed choice. There is also a deep font of knowledge there about RF stuff.

I agree 100%. The rollout of NV & LTE is the crux of Sprint as a network thus far. Def going to be a make or break time for Sprint in the next few quarters, especially with regard to timing. They need to make a significant impact, and soon.
Also, just saw where Buffalo, NY got some love.

Sprint to Unleash the Speed and Power of 4G LTE in Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City and San Antonio on July 15
--Sprint press release
Anyone know what to expect as far as battery consumption goes once LTE goes live? Will it be on par with what we see now on 3g or 4g? Better, worse? Ideas?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk
It will be the same as 3G. It will switch and run like it too. Just faster. It will be nice. Stronger and at 1900. Nothing like Wimax. They tested out at Alliance in Ft worth. Been playing with it a lot.

Also, how are people seeing LTE testing? Did you get into settings and change your network to LTE/CDMA? I don't see an LTE radio option (yet) on my sammy. I'm assuming Sprint will push out some update with their LTE light-up (which is also why I'm holding off with root).

Not GS3 related, but the EVO LTE shipped with the LTE/CDMA setting enabled so some people with it (or who had it before the GS3) may be able to get the LTE signal in an area that's been going through testing.

It depends on ur location too...what have u averaged with other 4G phones? Keep in mind that roms use "H" or "4G" to depict the "strongest" signal....but maybe its your radio too...I'm on KL1 and it works great for me

I'm on KL1. Weird thing is, my wife's phone is really slow too and she has a Nexus S. We have great service here, I even called t-mobile and they said we have full 4G coverage, as good as it gets. I just downloaded a 4mb app, and it took 5 minutes! that's bad!

That's the closest server to my location. But it's not just the app, market is slow, browser is slow, everything's crazy slow!
I would try a different radio/baseband. Although people have different results, the UGKL1 and UGKK7 are made for North America including AWS bands (T-mobile). You can read more here.
The latest North American radio, UGKL1, has been working well for me. Give it a go here.

Wow! This is just pathetic! Anyone else on T-Mobile experiencing anything like this?
Edit: Don't mind the wifi indicator...I did these tests with wifi off.
What server are you using? Try using one near an internet backbone for the best results, the distance from you can be misleading because the connections don't always lead directly there.
Servers in or near Washington DC, Chicago, Atlanta, Denver, Dallas and Los Angelos should be the most reliable.
Is there any way to check if T-Mobile is throttling you?

I will try a different server. I called T-Mobile and they are doing a service check to see if the towers are jacked. They said they saw something fishy reported about the towers on Feb 29th, and they aren't sure if the issue has been fixed yet. Hopefully that's the problem and they're working on a fix. I don't think it's the speed-test app though because anything that has to do with data is incredibly slow. Took me 7 minutes to download a 2mb app! My wife's nexus s is doing the exact same thing, so I think it probably has to do with the tower (hopefully!). I'll try changing servers though and report back if the numbers improve significantly. Sad I'm the only one having a problem with this. Thanks to everyone for the input. Thanks xHausx for checking in!

This is kind of my speeds with changing the server around. Not bad at all.

No. They only throttle at specific levels. Either 2GB or 5GB depending on your plan.
Figured it out!
I figured it out! The T-Mobile tower right next to my house is bad. I was driving around and ran the speed test in a couple other spots and got some great speeds! When I got back near the tower by our house I tested again, and again it sucked...so thank God, it's the tower and not the phone! Thankfully at home I have wifi, so who cares about the tower...I mean, it'll be nice when they get it fixed, but I'm good for now. Love the 4G speeds and really glad I can use them in other spots! Had me worried for a sec! Thanks to everyone for your suggestions! Really appreciate the help.
Holy high ping though

I think this was pretty apparent when you said you had two separate T-Mo phones both having the issue in the same place.
The title says it all. Post a picture of your speed test. Also if you want post modem and ROM you use.
I hope in the long run this little thread can help people when it comes to info on modems and setups people are using.

From playing around past several days, it's all around the pacific northwest, Oregon, Washington, etc.
My guess is they're upgrading towers for LTE. 3G speeds are still the same though, that is to say, beyond belief terrible. But 4G has gone nuts. I might try to find a Sprint store in the area and check to see if LTE is live yet.

Take this with a grain of salt, but I know a well ranked agent who is pretty close with a certain "Tiffany" who some of you may have heard of, and supposedly the Phila switch is going to be flipped sometime in the third week of August. Don't get your hopes too high because there are bound to be hiccups along the way, but I'm sure I'll hear more as we move into August. CANT WAIT!!!

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747
Metro areas that had "sufficient" 3G coverage were automatically skipped through the first and sometimes second pass of LTE implementation.
Squeakiest wheels got the grease first, is what I've heard and read.
Incidentally, don't be too upset about this, as LTE (from personal experience) has not been all that great anyway. I've been in Chi, Miami/Ft.Laud, DC and Baltimore and only in one of those markets (frigging Baltimore of all places!!) was I getting better than 11Mbps down and better than 6Mbps up (i got 17Mbps down, 10Mbps up). Both DC and Miami/Ft.Laud were marginally slower than my home WiFi which is typically around 10Mbps down and 6Mbps up, and Chicago was absolutely pathetic all three times I've been there since Feb, coming in roughly on par with Philly-area HSPA+/4G.
Incidentally, my experience has been with this phone as well as my Note i717, both top-end devices.
Plus, remember that even a strong LTE signal (let alone a weak one, god forbid....) will drain the piss out of your battery, a heck of a lot quicker than good old fashioned HSPA+.
Just my $.02.

The lady at the AT&T store said that it would be rolled out by the end of 2012, but I don't know how much she really knows hehe. HSDPA is pretty good down here though, only place I've dropped to edge is driving in between Lesuer, Steele, and Waseca county.
I hope southern MN gets lit soon. I hear that AT&T doesn't have the greatest data coverage in Iowa/Wisconsin.

Since they are just testing it would make sense to do it early in the morning so that it affects least number of users.

Awesome! I'll be at the Minneapolis Int'l Monday! Will be my first LTE experience I guess.
I let Minneapolis to head to Chicago for the week. To my surprise at security check when I pulled out my Note to scan my Delta boarding pass I saw LTE lit up. Speed was amazing as I have seen in KC and Chicago before. However, when I go to my gate in G Concourse LTE was gone. Hopefully this means its coming soon.

i called again and they told me LTE is varied by device, second rep to tell me. Im using SPEEDTEST app and all i get is 17mbps with 3/4 LTE bars hosted by TekSavy Solutions
USING 4.0.4 LH1 MODEM
The highest speed test I got was 47 Mbps in Richmond and I can consistently get above thirty around Vancouver. It's a lie.

are you using the google play Speedtest.net APP? you have the Dual Core Galaxy? What Modem you using. If you guys can test RIGHT NOW let me know your speeds in TORONTO
LOL.
The speed of your LTE is going to depend on a few things. Your signal strength, and current network traffic. It will vary throughout the day; the speed is only relative. Each phone that can support LTE will have, theoretically, the same speed range. The only difference will be where you are, how far from the network towers, etc.
If your phone is getting 19kbps, then it sounds like there's actually a problem. If your phone is rooted, flash back to stock touchwiz and double check. If there is still a problem, call to make sure that your account isn't throttled or something, and that there aren't any network issues locally.
Edit: I see you said you're getting 17mbps. Why is this a problem? That speed tells me that your network is working, but probably having traffic issues. 17mbps is not slow in any way, so why even complain.
Rogers rep? More like Apple rep.
Stock ICS on my S3
Lmao the first guy you talked to is tryin to sell iPhones. I just checked and there's nothing about that officially in any of the Rogers customer rep sheets. Realistic speeds are 15-25mb/sec.
That's strange. I'm on bell and have been able to reach 45 down at work.

My highest is 47.5 I am usually over 40 when I check, this is in the burlington ontario area
One thing I have learned over the years is that the majority of cell phone company reps (there are exceptions) don't have a clue about what they are talking about! Here is my fastest, on Rogers, Sept 22, 2012. I was so amazed I saved it!

I have seen 56mbps in scarborough
I reckon you've been bamboozled by this representative. A few people on Rogers have refuted your claim. It seems like it could be something to do with your phone or your location.
If actual representatives are telling you you're being throttled to half speed all the time though, then you should seize this opportunity. Tell them you only want to pay half the price and threaten to switch to Bell or something.

I usually get around 30-49 in Vancouver area (GVRD).
I tested right now and got 46Mbps. Yes, I'm with Rogers running Rogers' i747m with Bell's Jelly Bean leaked ROM.

Yep, Google Play Speedtest.net App on a Rogers i747M. I'm running the pre-rooted stock rom from Mr. Robinson. I didn't fiddle around with modems or kernels.

Hey David Dee,
yup I can confirm, I clocked 64mbps DL.
Typically, I get around 15-25 in the areas I most go to.
But there are some good spots where I get between 40-60.
FOLKS...when testing with apps like speedtest.net, change servers and retest. Network congestion isn't just wireless user congestion, it's also the network path to the testing server....after the tower receives your signal.
