On 3g Max I've gotten is 200Kb/s

I've noticed this as well.. Ellicott City / Baltimore, MD.
A week or so ago I was getting 300ish kbps (yes, just about 6 times extremely optimal 56k modem speeds) and now we're hitting easily 5-8Mbit. All from the living room couch.
Can't embed/link, I'm still a nub.
1 bar 4G, 8485kbps down, 1005kbps up, 107 ping

Ev-do rev. A caps out at 3.1mbps or 387.5kBps. 900kBps is actually 7.2mbps, pretty decent IMO. A lowercase b designates bit, capital B designates byte. There are 8 bits in one byte!

Forgot to mention, ev-do rev a is 3g lol. Super bored at work ATM

This thread confuses me... The title says 4G (which would be Wimax), but everyone seems to be talking about 3G (would would be EVDO).
Just FYI, my 3G speeds remain around <500kb/s, if I've very, very lucky. They're typically <100kb/s.

I was talking about 3g because a prior post had mentioned their 3g speeds exceeding what ev-do rev a is technically capable of.

I ran a test last night after updating to radio UGLA4 and was getting close to 10 mbit down, 1 mbit up.
Before the update I was maxing out at about 5 mbit. I'm on Rogers, but the radio is still definitely worth a try.

No change. Thanks though

That is completely abnormal. Ice tested 4 different wind Sims and all of them have been well under 2mbps with 3 of them barely breaching 1mbps and average of around 200kbps up. Tested in Mississauga and Toronto.
I'm with Mobilicity and while coverage is less than with wind I typically get about 2.3-2.5 mbps/300-600kbps up

Try a different tower, try a different server, etc...
You're testing the tower you're connected to, the server chosen, and your phone. In that order.

and for a quick fix you can also call wind and ask them to send your phone a refresh code. Tell them you're not getting any data to avoid answering questions about why its needed and theyll likely do it on the spot. (doesnt necessarily mean this will work)
Also what signal dbm/asu are you getting when youre dl'ing at 600kbps

That's a little low is that four bars? I've still pulled off 1mb plus speeds at that signal strength but I'm typically around -81/16.
You should do what another poster mentioned and test different towers, inside vs out etc. Its also possible that wind is throttling smart phones in an attempt to stimmy data usage but that's just complete speculation.
Outside of trying new radios, or complaining to wind there's not much you can do when it comes to data speeds...there may be some kind of optimization code I don't know about but again, speculation.
I'll say again though that every wind sim I've tested in the gta has had atrocious speeds

Kansas City has LTE. I've been all over the city today and nothing changes. Even if there is no LTE, shouldn't 3G still work?

I've had that happen to me too around KU MED. I think the lte tower might be having issues. However i was out in olathe today and had great lte coverage. Im on stock lg8 rooted. I was worried up until today. I think we'll just have to wait till all the towers are up. I believe they only have about 20% completed here in KC so far.

Sprint's coverage map says we're blanketed in LTE coverage. I wonder what's going on. And shouldn't 3G work if it can't find an LTE connection?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

3g does work but it is a little annoying because it seems to take up to 15 secs to reconnect to 3g after disconnecting from 4g.
On a sidenote I was in a sprint store today. The Htc evo lte had 4g with 4 bars. I put my s3 in airport mode and back to see if it would connect to 4g but it still went to 3g. I did not have time to test the data connection on the evo.

I do on occasion, but its because our 3G network is over loaded. they have us set to get LTE @ some point. its all based on how hard your tower is being hit and very little to due with your phone or sprint as a whole.

all good here ; )

Maybe Sprint is upgrading the towers there. I heard the speeds get slow while the work is under way...

Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app

Doesn't this phone not have EVDO but SVDO or something of nature? When it comes to 3G it all depends on your location to pick up SVDO speeds. During speedtests in my area, with full bars, I'll get 1.2mbps down but most of the time I struggle to hit 1. In my girlfriends neighborhood...it is constantly 2-3mbps down. I would imagine because her 3G towers are upgraded already? The only reason it doesn't bother me is because I actually have 4G LTE most of the time in my house and whenever I go outside or down the street etc.

Data speed is awful here....even close to the tower.
When I upgraded to the Note 2 they took away my discount. Now I have crappy data AND a higher bill. We aren't supposed to get LTE until end of 2013 in St. Louis. I really don't think we will get in the small town I live in at all. So, I think I am taking this back and switch to AT&T. What good is unlimited data if its so slow that I cant use it. At&t us the only option. T mobile and vzw have no coverage here. Sprint was of no help including the retentions department. BYE SPRINT

Switched towers in the speed test app. Forgot to screen shot the original test. Once I get to work tomorrow morning, ill redo the test and screen shoot it. Test was performed at home for this thread. There are two Sprint 4g w/LTE towers in the process of going live in my area (Lincoln Park, MI). Till Sprint gets on the ball with better service around here, will just have to put up with things. My phone was doing going whacko w/roaming m and "preparing network" mesgs. As I typed this, got a preparing network mesg. Again, people with patience are needed while on Sprint's service..lool.
