Ya depending where you are there isn't even T-Mobile service up there. If there is it's only the slowest edge version. Your in vzw territory.

I second this. You must be in Verizon land. I was up in Tocoa not too long ago and had to fight to get a signal. You can see from my sig that I get decent speeds. That was an old test I did with my HD2 about a year ago. I get MUCH faster speeds now with my SGS2.

Yup all gsm coverage ends at 400/60 at the shell station. Beyond that the only place you will catch a stray signal is at the top of blood mountain on hwy 129. Anyway from dilangoga "sp" is all vzw. You lose a signal again if your on vzw going out of town and.then pick it up again for a few when u get into suches. Then lose it until you get into the most corrupt police town in the US Blairsvile.

What speed are you going on 4g? I about to sign up for sprint from boost and was thinking s2 or s3. I'm in Baltimore and I know lte isn't here yet so I'm waiting to see. My deposit is 50 bucks and a s2 is $50 and a s3 is $150

My 4G speeds has decreased greatly here in Delaware, I used to be able to get speeds as high as in my sig (10-12mb down on my OG Evo), but since I had my 3D & now this phone its much lower, but right now I'm getting better speeds at home where I used to get horrible speeds as posted in this pic. One more thing, get the GS3 cuz Bmore will have LTE hopefully within the month or sooner.

Are all of you guys on WiMax? Wtf haha... I get like 3.5 Mbps MAX in Chicago

The 4-8 Mbps are 4g speeds. 8Mbps when close to tower. The latest test is from somewhere I never get 4g. Tests in columbus, ohio

Here are mine in St. Paul, MN

Here's my result from 4G testing in Boston:

These are mostly from my house out in the burbs or nearby in evening. Also one test is 3g on there. 4g speeds will vary quite a bit. I get lower when I'm in Austin on weekdays.

No more wimax for me but I used to get a good 10-12mbps
But 3g is decent now it was unbearable a month ago

3g is like 200kbps. 4g about 5mbps but kills my battery and makes my phone hot as hell. Sucks. Can't wait till Lte
My life for Aiur

No 4G service here in the USVI. Service has also been horrible lately. About 8-20Kbs during peak hours and 50-90Kbs during off peak hours. It unbearable and makes the smartphone experience suck compared to the continental US. The voice service also sounds like I am under water on over 50% of St. Croix.

For me in good areas I get up to 2 mbps down on 3g and up to 13 mbps down on 4g.

how fast are your 3G speeds?

Hey so I have a question for you guys. How fast are your 3G speeds? I'm asking because my gs3 won't go over 600 kb even at my best service. And my wifi is also extreamly slow. The wifi doesn't make sence to me Cuz my Droid x2 uses the same wifi and it gets triple the speed that my gs3 gets. Any one have the same problem or have a solution for this?

My WiFi is fine. 3g sucks.

LOL, that's about what I get when I'm roaming on your network(I'm with US Cellular). I thought it was just cause I was roaming.

I can't say the words "Sprint", "3G" and "Fast" in the same sentence without laughing (or crying) :laugh:
This is in the Denver area:
Ping: 366 ms

Nope.. its because the network here absolutely sucks. Ive done battle with Sprint for over a year about the crappy signal here and gotten nowhere.

Here are mine. Funny thing is I live in a very small town in Western New York and we got 2 Network Vision towers put up recently with 4 more on the way lol. But hey I'm not complaining

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.

News from tmobile tech

Here's some news. Talked to a tech today for awhile resolving an account issue. During our conversation I asked about deployment plans. Here is the top five things they said they're doing:
1. Rolling out LTE upgrades to current 4g towers. Which may cause temporary service loss of data.
2. Upgrading all towers along the interstate system in their current footprint to hspa and to LTE in larger cities with 4g already deployed.
3. LTE will roll out in large cities with 4g first that have completed upgrades.
4. Metropcs lte towers may be given greenlight for us to roam on until the switchover (which is contrary to previous statements)
5. Acquire more 1900mhz and AWS spectrum for more buildouts of hspa and LTE.
They're also looking at possibly doing unlimited data with tether soon. But no word on pricing or availability.

If the phone can support Band 4 LTE (which I do not think AT&T uses for their LTE), it can support it.

These threads seem silly, because what tech and care know is far from the truth. Also to whoever thinks that you don't need a update for lte, you are most certainly wrong. We just got LTE installed on the towers on our building and it is not working on my note. But other notes in the building we have for testing have LTE up and running just fine. Unfortunately these notes were sent already put together, so whether it was a update or a sim card is hard to tell because I haven't got hands on time alone with them yet. Another possible solution is a provision, through one of tmobiles systems for troubleshooting I have seen lte settings for a phone line specifically but wouldn't have the information to properly set it up.

Have experienced crap downloads but in South Phoenix where I live im 5 miles away from the nearest TMO advertised tower (and coming from cricket, its still fast in my mind) but this past few weeks I have experienced better speeds but more intiguing is my connectivity has gone haywire at times resulting in excessive batter consumption (periodically)... hoping this is LTE configs at work but its all a waiting game at this point
