Thanks man. I'm stoked the speed is that high for no AWS or LTE, plus where i'm testing is in the boonies
Can't wait to see this beech fly when I get into the city again. I was actually considering selling this one for the T-Mo variant, but I see no need.
My state doesn't even have LTE and probably won't til I get a Note 3, so these speeds are just as good as I was getting with my T889 :victory:

Yeah, if I were in your shoes, I would wait for the Note 3 also. Which is what I plan to do since I just got the S4 to test out & plan to hand it down to my GF so she can switch to Android from her iP4, when the Note 3 comes out. She tends to use my phone more than hers so I might as well get her own phone so I can use mine. :laugh:

My ATT phone supports 4G frequencies and I have ATT at the moment but I am lucky to get 1MBps because ATTs network sucks in most large sities. The fact HE didn't get those speeds doesn't mean someone else won't. Speed testing is a VERY inexact science. Someone here on XDA posted ~6MBps speeds with the T989 on AT&T.
that's probably why they went with LTE on the skyrocket model instead of HSPA+
I didn't reach more than 1.3 mbps regardless where I was at...same speeds that I reached with my iPhone..at the same spots I was reaching 5mbps
I don't think higher speeds than 3g can be achieved, however it beats having edge like it usually happens when we use one of their phones

Okay so ive had my Nexus since Nov last year. Ive been reading about people getting fast data speeds 10Mbs+. But the fastest ive ever seen is 4Mbs. Tried changing to the "phone" APN, but that only helped with ping time.
Can anyone in New York City with AT&T chime in with their setup or suggestions on getting better speeds?

My favorite one:
Me: Hi Sprint. I get 50kbps at my house and at work what's up with your network?!
Sprint: Sir, you use 1.5gb of data a month which is quite on the heavy side so I don't believe you can be finding issue with our network.
For you guys who had the 4G, you're lucky. I am only about 35 miles from NYC and I never got the 4G. I've got (3) 4G-capable phones but I never got to use 'em.
Maybe I'll get the LTE:fingers-crossed:
Sprint is still reasonably priced for me.
well I appreciate all the response i got and now I realize im not the only one suffering from poor data speeds. The salesman that sold me my GS lll told me after I purchased it that Sprints 3G is the worst of all the US carriers and im like "now you tell me" he says "dont worry youll be fine after they turn on LTE next year......

Never seen any difference whatsoever coming from an Evo. I live 5.2 miles from the nearest tower, and snag about the exact same quality signal on every device I've owned in the last 3 years.
Every location is different. Here in the Denver Boulder area, most times I get between 500 1500 kb downloads based on speedtest.
I been with sprint almost ten years and this is really breaking news to me. WOW!

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.
