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.

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
As you can see I don't have internet at home through Sprint. The Wifi was off. Decided to swich carriers. Already called sprint today and asked them to waive my early cancellation fee. He said he will call me next Tuesday.
You sure you had Wifi off? It shows it as on in the screenshot.
But you can check and see if Network Vision is upgrading soon in your neighborhood.

Yes it was off. I turned it on and went back to the program to take the snapshot. Here is a pick with wifi on.
PS: I'm rocking your ICS theme in my Calk ROM btw. You are the man buddy.
I'm running ek02 ROM, desperado 1.3 ek02 kernel and ek02 modem. I'll flash el29 modem and see if I notice any difference.
I'll flash ek02 again and post the numbers.
Now I'm getting 200's to 450. There must be varying amounts of network traffic tonight. It's only 12:41am, so people are probably still awake and using the data network. You could try a different host like Naples. Sometimes speakeasy speedtest on a browser gives different numbers out of Atlanta. Wanna see a crazy ass screen shot with 4g that I think was a fluke?
Miami is a city being worked on now. You won't see improvements for another 2 to 3 months. The reason for all the decrease on speeds is due to the off loading sprint is doing right now

That's because I get 29% off from them through work, but I suspect I'll be ditching them shortly. It just isn't worth waiting for the upgrades to be completed. For comparison purposes. It took me 7 minutes to download a 6 MB app on their 3G. LOL. Thank god for WIFI.

Correction. Waiting months or years to get to the point where Verizon is already at 4g wise, 3g is still a joke, even post upgrade.

Do you mean normal for Jacksonville or normal for LTE? As far as LTE, I guess it varies...Like I live in a spotty LTE area right now and pull anywhere between 5-9mbps but when I go down near Jerome Ave in the Bronx, I'm always pulling 20's. Today I got 33.29mbps in that same neighborhood. We'll all get there...hopefully sooner than later.

LTE is very signal strength dependent. EvDo RevA's (Sprint's 3G) speeds don't deteriorate unless it reaches a very low signal threshold. Next time you connect to the LTE site at Publix, open up your debugging menu and screenshot the LTE engineering screen and post it here.
With 6mbps, you have a rather low (-110dBm to -115 dBm signal strength). If your signal strength is high, then you should experience better speeds.

Sprint's in a position where they simply don't have the spectrum to deploy anything greater than a 5x5mhz carrier per market. This means LTE speeds will max out at about 38mbps, and even this is under extremely favorable conditions.
But worry not for Clearwire alone has more spectrum than Verizon does, and Clearwire, starting mid-2013 will be deploying LTE advanced on a 20x20mhz carrier! This means speeds will be up to 90mbps. Hang in there because even with Sprint's LTE maxing out at 38mbps, it's still very fast and the best part...unlimited.

But since LTE will be on every tower unlike the other carriers, there will be less people on each LTE carrier than the other guys.
And do you really need higher than 35 megabits on your phone... hell no. I'd be happy with 3 or 4!

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.

No LTE for Corpus Christi, TX
3g .03 mb

Ok so I thought I'd contribute a bit and start a topic regarding what people thought of AT&T's LTE network.
I got an iPhone 5 the day they came out and was getting some amazing speeds. Like 15 Mbps down and 6 Mbps up. But within a few weeks of having my phone I started noticing dramatic drops. I live on Los Angeles and in the city I now get 2-3 down and less than 1 up. So what I would do with my iPhone was turn off LTE and too my surprise the 4g network was doing leaps and bounds better. About 6-8 down but still less than 1 up.
Now I have my new galaxy note 2 and still don't have the best of LTE but 4g is still giving me the high downloads I was seeing on my iPhone 5. So for the most part I keep my LTE shut off on my phone though turning it on and off isn't as easy to do on android as it was on my iPhone. Unless anyone knows a toggle I can add some how?
Anyways just thought I'd start this little discussion to see what everyone else thought about their LTE in their area. Personally I think it's a joke how expensive AT&T is and how poor quality their bandwidth is. If it's gonna be expensive it ought to work great. But I guess that's just how things go with all carriers. Well love to read your guys' thoughts.

I get no more than 12mb down/9mb up in Margate/Coconut Creek/Boca Raton, FL area and that is at NIGHT when no one is on. During the day, the HSPA+ is faster.
I usually get 10-15 mbps in Tulsa Ok. I have seen 50+ a couple times. Unfortunately I don't get LTE anywhere I go on a daily basis. I can get it by going 2 blocks south of my house, but my daily commute takes me north away from any coverage. Still happy enough with hspa+ as I usually get 4-5 mbps which is plenty fast to do anything I really need to do on my phone.
