Weird upload/download thing going on - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3

When connected to:
LTE/WCDMA/GSM: I get 1-2Mbps Down and 10-15 Mbps Up
WCDMA/GSM: I get 10-15 Mbps down and 1-1.5 Mbps Up
What the hell is going on, and how can I combine these two to get the best of both worlds in one setting? Surely there's something in the APN settings which can reconcile this lunacy, no?
I'm Downtown (also Midtown) NYC if that matters.

No it isn't.
Vodafone UK currently offer 7.2mbps and have started rolling out 14.4 mbps. However as with anything, only certain areas have the updated speeds at the moment.
Hell when BT had an outage in my area i played halo 2 online, using my treo 750 as the modem.

Since we are going for precision, it's actually 3.5G that's capable of those speeds and those speeds aren't available in the US afaik.See the thread title.

I couldnt get upstream speeds from this site. I may have missed it. I will look again and post later.

4g speeds capped?

Been running speed tests around Austin/san Marcos/san Antonio and noticed that 4g only reaches 2.5 megs, whereas in those areas was able to reach anywhere from 5 to 8 meg speeds.
From what I see the test fluttered at 2.5 which is one of the symptoms of a cap.
I live between Austin and San Marcos on 183 and I have gotten up to around 5.5mbps on 4g a couple times. It is always faster at work (near the airport) than at home. Home is usually around 2.5mbps

It all depends on the server location you run the speed test on. I live in TN, and for some reason when I do a speedtest to Clarvsville, TN I only get around 3mb a sec.
Now, if I set it to test on a server in witchita KS, I get 7-8mbps.
So, try different server locations. I use the speedtest.net app since it seems to actually work correctly now.
first if anybody is going off the results of the speedtest.net app, dont put too much trust in those results, that app isnt very accurate, go to the actual site from the phone...anyways i noticed the same symptoms (capping) but im thinking that sprint is throttling the speeds in certain markets to help off-load the strain which alot of providers do, nothing new, whats disappointing is that what ever they are doing to regulate their speeds seems to affect the coverage, some days i get 1 bar 2Mbps some days i get 2bars 500kpbs and somedays i get 3 bars 1.5Mbps and my area is SATURATED in 4g coverage
Ive ran speed test 50 times in Nashville, and I've only seen 3 mb (even with full bars). Of course, Nashville isnt official yet.
After the 2.2 update I went from average 2-3mbps to 6-7 mbps. I live in San Marcos by the way, so I would think in SA or Austin the speeds would just be a bit faster. My 3g speeds also increased after the update but those have been piss poor since I've had a treo 700wx....
And hello xda, been lurking around since I've had a mogul. Thanks to all those who have contributed to this wonderful place of knowledge.

I performed all of the 3g speedtests using the leaked android 2.34 EH17.
As you can see the results that I was able to achieve are really good.
I am located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and the 3g speeds over here
are usually horrible, but in this particular area I was able to get great results.
I will be performing another set of data testing near Baker, La.
Over there the 3g speeds are slow and unstable, and although 4g is
available in that area I will be testing as far as possible from the 4g tower to
find out which modem can perform the best with very low 4g signal.
Inspired by HafizNafes, I decided to try a few of these where I live as well, in Raleigh. Sadly, 4G is not available at my house. Using Airave for 3G tests, so included a WiFi to show speeds for comparison.

Looks to me like you are having serious problems with your data speeds.
Any thing less than 600 kbps on sprint network is not good.
I also have problems where I live but at least I am able to use 4g here in baker louisiana.

Unfortunately here in Greenville, SC, those data speeds are a fact of life, best I can tell. I would very much like to see someone else here in Gville post some data results that show different, but I dont know anyone personally here that has a sprint phone. It does not seem to matter what rom, modem, tweaks i use, those are the speeds I get. These test mirror tests I did about 2 months ago as well. Oh, and an added bonus, our sprint stores here are abysmal, staffed by idiots, and I have to pay 10 dollars a month for 4g that it is not available anywhere in the entire state. All this talk about not having a data cap or throttling on the sprint network is irrelevant for me, because without 4g and with 3g speeds like that, I could never reach a cap even if one existed. At least here, Sprint is a massive joke on all fronts, and I wish I had never signed a contract with them.
I think that sprint is broke and they cannot afford to serve reliable high speed data to all of their customers. Next time I complain to them im going to make sure I tell them that.
I dont know why would sprint spend $6 billion to start selling iphones when they could have used that money to go all over the country fixing their 3g. But they keep denying that something is wrong with their 3g and telling customers to make sure that their prl is updated, which means nothing if sprint acually had data towers in our areas.
Any data for the EI22 modem?
In the same area I pulled 2.2 mbps download and 1.0 mbps upload using the new modem.
but it was during the morning at about 8am.

This is So Ture i live in newton nj and still No 3g but Sprint Still Claims there is 3g in the area..... and with the new "PRL" surveys is Worst then Ever
I have a motorola photon now and 3g speeds in my home area are still less than 150kbps.
sprint should lower are bills until they can get their stuff fixed. Its not fair that we have to pay more than t-mobile users with such horiffic service.
however in downtown my 3g speeds are incredible. the same can be said for 4g.

T-Mobile Horrible Download and Upload speeds at home

I just switched over to Tmobile from AT&T and I'm having horrible download and upload speed. I got the phone last night and I have been consistently getting under 1 mbps download and upload. Sometimes speeds will go up to 5 or 6 (for a short time) but never more than that. Is this an issue with my new phone (LG G4) or congested network. I tried a factory reset and many reboots with the same result. Any help would be great. Thanks!!
The last speed test with 15 mbps was while I was at work, so this is only going on at my home.
Edit: I live in the San Francisco/Daly City area
Always check their coverage area

Coverage said excellent 4g lte coverage. Didn't think it would be this bad

Look at the coverage map again and zoom in to street level. See what it says then
I live in Hayward and have been getting terrible T-Mobile speeds for a few months now. I called T-Mobile and they said they're updating the network in my area, that's it's been going on for a few months and should continue for a few more.
Cleared data cache and did a speed test and it was in the 20 mbps range (this was while on the phone with a T-Mobile rep). Subsequent speed tests after I ended the call were back to my unusually slow speeds. Going to give them another class this weekend.
I used to get great speeds, but now I'm not getting LTE speeds at all.

I also live in SF, coverage here sucks. Even in downtown.
i'm in Abu Dhabi tho, its all about provider/traffic
I'm just outside a Chicago a few miles. 2 miles away would be a Chicago Zip code less than 20 mins from the loop my speeds been crap for almost a year this is why I never upgraded added a data plan just the 1GB free didn't need alot but not going to pay for speeds where I'm only getting 1-3 at night and 0.50 -1 down during the day. The 4g speeds are better not much but they are. I only have 2-3 bars inside full signal outside but that does not matter. I just live in a ****ty spot but it's just not where I live I run into this alot on the go just around the area or a few miles away.
You know what's funny did a speed test around 1am got the same results I posted above just did one now and guess what. 30 down and 4.5 up I know other areas are faster but I can live with that and buy data if the other areas are about the same. I wonder if they finish the upgrade in the Chicago area or maybe mine ? I had to take another look to make sure I wasn't on Wifi but once I seen the upload speed I knew it wasn;t since my ISP is faster then that.
Just did a few test outside 4 or 5 bars in 5 different spots hit 19-47 down and 14-18 up looks to be decent finally.
I recently switched to T-Mobile as well. There is an area in my neighborhood where I can pull down over 70 Mbps!! If I move two or three blocks over towards my house though, it drops down to around 10-15 Mbps. I use WiFi in my house so I'm not that annoyed though.
Are the speeds horrible everywhere in your neighborhood? Are the speeds bad just INSIDE your house? What if you step outside? Remember T-mobile runs on higher frequency and maybe your house blocks the signals.
And now we are back to 1-3 DL tonight. Ha **** does not make sense.

Yes BW 15. Just ****ty they might be doing upgrade's so I don't know. I just know it's always been crap and took a test again now to prove it 0.19 Down and 0.97 Up on LTE. So I don't know what that one test was the other day maybe they were doing some testing ? Because I hit 47 Down and 18 up on the one test. As I mentioned it don't matter much since I have Wifi at the house but I'd be pissed if I was paying any extra for Data and not getting something that's atleast usable. I'm sure my area will catch up in time.

I did my test this morning. It is Band 4 on T-mobile network. I am using the Note 4.

Throughput on Wifi sucks

Copying files across wifi, SMB fileshare. Note 3 - 3-5MB/sec (yes, MB, not Mbit). Note 7 - 500-700KB/sec. Both show similar wifi connection rates at 144 Mbit/sec.
Anyone else seeing crappy throughput on wifi?
No, mine is not that bad. I just did a speedtest.net on a 100 Megabit down 10 megabit up connection and got 50 megabits down (best the router will do in all honesty) and the full 10 megabits up. That roughly translates to 5 Megs a second down and 1 Up. I have read others complain about the speed though.
What app are you using to measure the speed?
I've got cox, pay for the premier package and its supposed to max out at 150mbps download and I believe 10mbps upload. Early mornings (2am or so) I see speeds on my 5ghz network (using an Arris SB 6141 DOCSIS 3.0 Modem and a ASUS RT-68P AC 1900 Wireless Router) well into the 190mbps range on my Note 7, highest I've had so far is 193mbps download. I consistently hit 10mbps upload but when it first starts out it pulls into the 25mbps range and slows down to the 10-13 mbps range upload.

Yeah lol the upload is nothing exciting, it's nice to see it jump into the 20+mbps range for about 10 seconds or so then throttle down around 10-13mbps. But I'm happy hitting over 150mbps later at night. But my Note 7 has been just as fast, if not slightly faster than my Note 4 was with throughput.
