Description says it all. When I roam onto Verizons towers I only get. 12Mb/sec which is almost no internet at all. Is there a way to fix this? I know the signle from my tower would give me 2.5-3Mb/sec on my evo just a few weeks ago. Ideas guys? Oh i use Roam Controle to switch over to Verizon if that makes a difference
yeah well the best Sprint 3G I can get in my neighborhood is about .25 Mbps. And it's true for many parts of Manhattan, you can't crack .5 Mbps.
I thought verizon dramatically throttles it for roaming.

I dont use 3g much in Manhattan. But where I live(in queens) and where I work and go to school (midtown) I have an awesome 4g signal. When I'm inside, I average anywhere from 6-9mbps and when I'm outside I get about 9-11mbps

Damn you 4g'ers lol. Kauai doesn't have 4g yet
It all has to do with the 3g radio in the phone...It sucks...I'm in Dallas TX and I get speeds so low I can't load a web site through opera mini. Any other phone I owned Evo4g and 3d where not that slow at all. 4g is not strong enough to keep a signal while moving/driving so I dont use it much.

Actually, it has all to do with your prl...unless you're on an old or select business prl, almost all current prls only allow 1xrtt data on roaming. So the speeds you are seeing are actually normal 1x speeds
Its confusing though, since our phones seem to be lacking the 1x icon

Actually in many areas, the PRL entry for Verizon is defined to search for Verizon 1x signal while also searching for Sprint EV signal. So you could actually be roaming on Verizon for voice, have the EV/3G indicator, but still be using Sprint for EV/3G data.
This can lead to even more confusion.

LOL I normally get about .20mbps on Sprint's terrible 3G network, and still no 4G here in Phoenix.
You have to admit Sprints 3G network is a joke. I was sitting at dinner earlier right next to the tower and I was barely breaking 1mbps.

My Moment (August, anyway) was able to roam on 3G in northern Wisconsin. Of course, I believe that that part of AllTel went to Cellular One, not Verizon. That's probably the difference.
In fact, I often got better data speeds in the middle of the forest up north than I do at home in Milwaukee. I usually got 150-200kBs (bytes, not bits) whereas at home, I get 15-20kBs.

speed heavily depends on time and location
can be anywhere from 500kbs-1.5mbs but as slow as 200 if the tower is super hogged.
Never had a LOS, stock kernel + root

Damn I would kill for those speeds. In midtown manhattan and on 4G I can only get around 5mbps download (standing next to a window) and 350kbps download.
I can't even get 4G signal in my house downtown. I get only 1 or 2 bars for 3G unless I am standing next to a window.
I need to test the speed of the 3G next time I roam.
this is fps test. hope the pic works this time
From what I understand Verizon does not support 3G roaming with Sprint phones you will only get 1x service. 3G roaming was a deal with Alltel, who got bought out by Verizon and ATT. You are going to get crappy speeds if you are roaming on Verizon.
For some time now ive been doing some speedtest on Sprints 4G network and it seems that they throttle 4G because it seems consistent with standard ISP's who throttle also unless you pay for a higher speed. WiMAX is way much powerful and faster than LTE and it has been proven so why is it that sprint seems to only get 10mbps Download and ONLY 10mbps.could they be doing this for a reason ?? I want to know what you guys think ??

There is people that pull over 10 mb/s
wimax is CAPABLE of much higher speeds, however it is dependant on soo many factors i.e. signal stregth, server loads, amount of users connected to the tower, etc, etc.
Just because your not getting the stated speeds (theoretical) does not mean they are throttling. this goes for any ISP bro
It all depends on how many people are connected at the same time. There's only so much bandwidth to go around. There are times when your speed will be slower because more people are connected to the same tower. Just like cable broadband... There are peak times when your speed will be slower

Obviously i know that look at verizon they have more customers and their LTE can pull off 22mbps plus WIMAX (clearwire) has i believe the largest bandwidth/spectrum in the U.S.A
ISP do throttle if you didnt know that if they didnt all the basic data suscribers would be hitting 50mbps.

Couldn't say myself, 4G keeps disconnecting for me constantly, not exactly thrilled with the 4G performance of Sprint at the moment .....
Where I live I get 2 bars of 4G. 2 out of 3. Wimax 4G sucks for me. I probably get around 1mb download.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
1mb is still way better than Sprint 3G!
I think it may have something to do with heat/power. I know wimax is capable of >10mbps but at what cost in terms of battery life? If there were low power cool running wimax chips im sure they could push the envelope.

But for 4G speed it's terrible. It's suppose to be 4G!! My brother has the Google Nexus S on T-Mobile and his 3G tops out around 3MB. Makes my 3G look like garbage lol. He's able to tether and the speeds are not bad at all. It's decent enough to tether. I can not tether on 3G because the speed is so slow. I have to be on 4G or else it's not even worth tethering. No internet at home so I rely on my phone.

WiMAX is a lot larger frequency, as where LTE is short. It is a lot easier to push LTE than WiMAX because WiMAX requires thrice as many towers to keep the signal from fading.
At work, I pull anywhere from 4-6 down and 0.7-1.5 up. Out and about in the Orange/Santa Ana area, I've gotten as high as 16 down and 4 up. It really just depends like others said, on area and users.
sorry we don't throttle, now what the network can handle during peak hours may be when your affected, but overall we do not touch delivery speed, go talk to t mobile they will tell you we don't, they are the experts lol

From very close by and it depends on how busy network is and where you are. There are also "bursts" which is why you will get 4-6Mbps download then suddenly get @ 12 Mbps down score. My upload speed is consistently 1.4-1.45 Mbps up. The cap on upload is 1.5

That is a speed CAP not throttling. CAP is set top end limit and you won't go faster.
Throttling is when they gradually (or not so gradually) reduce your speeds after a certain period of time or data use.

Correct me if i'm wrong but I could've sworn that if Wimax was deployed at a lower frequency it can have just as good penetration as LTE. Its just Clearwire's Wimax is at 2.6GHz which sucks with penetration.

Sept 1st and my contract is up.
I love the epic, but time for a new phone. It got me thinking how much do I like sprint. Honestly I love the price. The internet has been awful. Phone calls have been dropping like flies for the last few months.
I saw this test about 3g/4g speeds
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2405607,00.asp
So I started to look, and it seems like T Mobile would be the same price as sprint. The others would not be much more.
Just wondering what you guys are thinking, and if anyone has had t mobile.
Now if only I could get the peoples rom on it I would be sold.
September first for me too.
Only difference, I'm being ripped off financially by Sprint.
So I'm definitely jumping ship.
As for me I'm looking at T-Mobile at $70 savings over Sprint, and Verizon at $30. Verizon has superior everything, T-Mobile has price. Hmmm.
Frankly it's all the same as far as T-Mobile and Sprint go. The coverage you're going to get with T-Mobile will vary depending on location, and will get better signal in some places as opposed to Sprint, and vice versa. I get full bars at my cousins cabin up north, while my uncle's T-Mobile phone can't get a signal whatsoever. A few miles further and it's flipped.
As far as data speed go you will see a defined performance boost. Sprint's data is the worst in the business, so the only way is up. HSPA+ gets the same, if not better speeds than full bars 4G on Sprint. I'll take throttling over consistent crap speeds any day.
My contract is up at the same time but I think the smartest thing for me to do would be to see how good lte is by december. I work in a sprint store but still not satisfied with the data like u guys. LTE should be covered as much as wiimax by the end of 2012 and should be covered double of wiimax coverage by next year. Still have hope lol. However I am extremely satisfied with my bill though. On a family plan with jp morgan discounts. Each of us pay exactly 50 a month and it covers the whole bill.
I'd say if your not going to be covered in LTE or have at least decent coverage, then jump ships. I should be pretty much covered here in Central Texas so... I'm not to worried about my .20mbps 3G connection for very much longer.

Cell strength bars and 4G speeds are unrelated. I have had no bars and no 3G and still connect to 4G with better speeds than that. 4G is a different band.
You think that is bad, try waiting 20 minutes for AT&T to connect to 4G hspa. They are so bad in Daytona I have to reboot the work devices 2 or 3 times to connect.

In your particular case it seems the tower your cell signal comes from IS also the 4G tower. I guess by me that is not the case and wherever my 4G comes from that tower has a stronger transmitter. I can avg 2-6 Mbs on 4G in Daytona.

IMO,this is very clear, given the endless hardware and compatibility issues you have run across
As to speeds...
I get 4-5mb speeds on 4G in both DC and Baltimore, though 4G is DC is much more spotty than in Baltimore.
My 3G speeds suck, but are close to the 1mb range typically.
I would be VERY hard pressed to leave Sprint.
Verizon is WAY to expensive, and has data caps
T-Mobile is cheaper, but has no batter coverage than Sprint, AND throttles data
AT&T? forget about it!
In reality, unless I am willing to shell out a bunch more $$, and live with data caps, I feel I would be hard pressed to do better than Sprint
I live in Salt Lake and Sprint has as good a service as Verizon.
AT&T is garbage. I moved down here for school from Alaska where they were the best hands down. Tmo is about the same. With roam control to get Verizon when I travel somewhere Sprint sucks there just isn't any reason to switch. My 4G speeds here are 4-5 mbps. 3G is about the same as AT&T.

Agreed. These are my 3G speeds:
This is Sprint's so called "3G". There's really no point of unlimited data when Sprint's 3G is basically already throttled the whole time.
Even though I think their "3G" is so bad, I still don't switch to another carrier since Sprint has Unlimited data. I still don't switch despite the fact that those carriers (ATT, Verizon, T-Mo) have prepaid plans that are half the price Sprint. Oh, and did I mention those plans have data limits that are higher than the actual carrier plans?
But nah, I'm not gonna switch to prepaid even though it would be so logical.
(This post isn't serious. Instead, it's basically how I interpret people's posts complaining about Sprint's 3G. If you don't like it, switch carriers...)

100% Sprint. It's what I usually get around my home area. 1000-150kbps throughout the day, 1500-1900kbps at night.
The thing is, I live in a suburban area so the towers aren't used as much. I'm willing to bet that throughout the day there are only like 4 or 5 other people connected to data that actually use their data.
Here's my 3g speed, guess I'm lucky.
I've noticed a few times when I have crappy data speeds. My phone was showing 3g in the status bar, but if I went to SettIngs-->About Device--> Status the phone was actually connected at 1x not 3g. Not sure why it doesn't show 1x in the notification bar.

I've noticed a few times when I have crappy data speeds. My phone was showing 3g in the status bar, but if I went to SettIngs-->About Device--> Status the phone was actually connected at 1x not 3g. Not sure why it doesn't show 1x in the notification bar.

Unless you are rooted and running a custom Rom that is capable of displaying 1x, the stock Sprint Rom will always show 3g.
I suppose my area has something to do with my 3g speeds I live near Cincinnati and I'm sure the towers are over loaded

I love the 90s. Good times.
LMAO those speeds look good compared to mine. Frankfort, KY here and average around 200kpbs down.

It's about the same speed I had on my epic 4g. Thought it would be way faster. I'm going run another test and post.

It could be 4G, I've seen broadband speeds on 4G before, but the upload speed seems like it is being throttled.

I"m saying the wifi icon is on, it's not using the modem...I think the OP is voicing frustration regarding LTE being turned on in his area that we all have been waiting for

Exactly what a huge waste. Verizon 3g speed is faster than that crap I posted
I am barely hitting 3mbits on 4g here in Michigan. Even when i was in downtown Chicago i was only hitting about 5mbits on 4g. Maybe its just slow cause they are not finished yet?
Wait one GD minute. You are getting .371mbs on LTE???
Is this good? Lol

OP, you must not be connected to your nearest site. Given your 1x signal bars, you should have a better wireless connection for LTE. But LTE is not active on your nearest site and thus, you're getting signal from a distant one. Give it time and I guarantee that speeds will be better than what you're getting.
You must be getting around a -115dBm value for your current speeds to be that slow. Try downloading CDMA field test and see what the rsrp signal strength is on LTE.
This is my speed on LTE after school today:

Around here in NYC, where Sprint is still building out their LTE network, there are places where I barely scratch 500 Kb/s, places where I get 5 Mb/s, and places where I see 25 Mb/s. It depends on a lot of things, but primarily signal strength. And if your network is still being rolled out, don't expect anything stellar until they finish. There is really no reason to be pissed off. You want the best LTE network out there, Verizon is waiting for you. Want unlimited data and lower price, be patient while the network is being built around you. Sprint LTE speeds are solid in areas where the signal is strong. BTW, the signal bars do not correlate with LTE strength.
