upload speeds go up? - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

I've been testing my data speeds 2 or 3 times a week since I got this phone. ive always averaged about 16-25 Mbps download and about 3-7 Mbps upload.As of about two weeks ago my download is still around average but my upload is wow *see pics*. Did tmob do this and if so was it for a specific reason? Anyone else seeing these kinds of results lately also?

Thanks for introducing me to this website. I like the fact that you can get information about all the carriers. Average download/upload speeds of other users, etc.. I'm going to use this more than speed test.net.

Ok I ignored this app completely, I don't buy into gimmicks. ..
Just decided for fun to try it because I'm bored. Results speak for themself.
Nothing CRAZY, but a difference on the positive side (specifically ping).
Bottom three are without, top three are with.

I tried this a year or so ago. All it really does is turn airplane mode on then off again. Unless they figured something else out which i kinda doubt.
It was certainly worth trying though!
Try using airplane mode next time before using this and see if your results are similar.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
The thing that this app does is turn off network and turn on (like the other guy above me says) usually when you moved around town the phone keeps connected to a tower that is not closed to you, but it figures since strength doesn't feel too weak; it must be good to keep connected to it. This app disconnects the network and connected back, the phone search for closest tower therefore you get diferent speeds because you might have been connected to a different tower that had more or less smartphones using it. Sometimes when people turn off phone and turn it back on battery life seem better, there connected to a closer so data doesn't travel too far, or like how you have better battery life on wifi

Yeah I agree. The reason I say that is because one of the guys here has Metro and he's having really spotty connection as well all of a sudden.
The merger did go through, I got a letter from T-Mobile in the mail yesterday about the merger.

Think this is exactly what the problem is low signal and it continues to try sending the message over and over until it registers on sprints end that it's been sent/received... I've been sprint customer for ages and have had similar MMS issues when signal was funky, granted on different phones but still sprint... What's weird is in last 24 hours I've all of a sudden started getting 4g at my house and have started getting these weird problems MMS issues as well, multiple incoming and outgoing.. Wife picks on me... Lol, if we can get some logcats multiple users we might he able to start pinpointing these across the board issues
