I have an S3 but am using only 3G data from an old plan with ATT.
I was considering upgrading to a limited plan with 4G but am not sure what the point is. 3G really seems fast enough. And what's the point of using 4G when you can burn through your entire month's allocation in eight minutes (assuming 50Mbit download speed).
The download speed is nice but sorta useless on capped plans its the ping thats a big change.
So that time it takes to start the transfer of data is instant on 4G (LTE)

So I just upgraded to S3 today from the captivate. I have a grandfathered unlimited 3G data plan and they just upgraded it to unlimited 4G data plan free of charge, not sure if your case is the same but I didn't have to give up my unlimited data.
Also, just cause your speeds are faster doesn't necessarily mean you use more data. If you continue on the same trend of data usage you won't be hitting your limit any faster than you do now. But the speed at which you do things will increase

well, i have mine turned off as there isnt even LTE in most area's i go, and I'm in the Bay area. SF has LTE, but not east bay, or stockton where i am normally. so its just a waste of battery to have it on. IF u have LTE in ur area i think it would be worth it and depending on wut u are doing, MAY save battery as it would DL data faster, therefore completing wutever task faster..just my opinion..

edit: i stand corrected. i think i had my 4g turned off. i cant screenshot on aokp, but in the middle of concord i pulled 20.sumthin down and 13.4 up..THAS MORE LIKE IT AT&T!! now if they would jus offer unlimited plans like other carriers..
Won't ever see 50??? This was a test I did in Jacksonville Sunday afternoon when I was there.

Faster is always better . However LTE drains the battery fast. I've dumb down my data for day to day functions. But when needed I switch back to LTE, specially when thetering.

Not sure what your data plan situation is, but even with grandfathered unlimited, as mentioned above, you can keep that plan with LTE; albeit with throttling after 3GB and a couple warnings. LTE is def worth it IMO, as for the 50mbps, it's certainly possible to test that high depending on where you are. Very traffic dependent. When it first switched on around here I was testing at 40+. It's since dropped to ~20, which I still enjoy quite a bit.

I still have my unlimited data plan from my iPhone days. When you upgrade to a LTE plan you still keep your unlimited but they throttle you after 5 gigs of data used. If I was still using my iPhone 4S they would be throttling me after 3 gigs of data used. So that is why I switched to an LTE phone. And so far I'm enjoying my S3!

You can switch to LTE data and keep your Unlimited Data Plan. Also you'll get throttled at 5gb, not 3gb of use. So if ou keep doing and using the Internet the same way you'll be fine, unless you start downloading things, watching HD videos, etc. I've burned my 3gb plan in two days last month when I got my S3. LTE its worth it. Here I've got 25mb downloads and 12mb uploads.
Hope this helps http://www.att.com/esupport/datausage.jsp?source=IZDUel1160000000U
And BTW you just call Customer Service and tell them you want to upgrade to an LTE Unlimited Data Plan, that's what we did with my mother's S3. Mine was upgraded from 3GB 4G(H+) to 3GB LTE. No charge, and the data counter was reset to 0mb.

Ah - well, here's the problem. I have unlimited data for NON-smartphones. So I called and I seem to be getting a hard time.
I get a consistent 50ms ping, 22mb down and 11 mb up with LTE in san diego(att). If you are in a city with LTE, I recommend you use it, its very fast. Plus not many people are using LTE with att yet, so there is plenty of bandwidth(for now)

Same in Toronto on Rogers for me. Most impressive difference you will see over 3G is installing of applications, on which downloads are 99% instantaneous.... Also downloading files and documents. Browsing is also slightly faster..

I just got the S3 at lunchtime today, and they quietly deleted my unlimited data, and now say it can't be added back; and that I didn't ask for it, or authorize that, does not matter in the least.
I may end up with a different service provider out of their (apparently successful) attempt to steal my unlimited data account.

So i got a T-Mobile version SII (the phone has the T-Mobile Logo on it, and so does the box.). I signed up for the value plan w/ 2GB unlimited data (4G speeds until 2GBs, then it drops to 2G speeds)
I just did a speedtest, disabled my wifi, enabled my mobile data) and tried my speed and the highest i can get is about 4 kB/s. this is definitely not 4G speed. I contacted T-Mobile support, and they were no help to me, they just said that the phone connects to 4G automatically. So then i thought it might be my location, but upon checking my coverage I'm in the "excellent" area.
I think it might be my settings, but I have no idea now. Dont know if this makes a difference but speedtest reports I'm using "EDGE" network... wifi works nicely w/ about 15 Mbps speed
Interestingly, when i have 2G enabled, my download speeds are barely higher (4.7 kB/s --> 14.7 kB/s (2G is enabled))
Here are my settings:
Data Enabled (Check)
Data Roaming (uncheck)
National Data Roaming (uncheck)
Network Mode (GSM (selected) // LTE/GSM (unselected))
Access Point Names:
(Options: Simple / Straight-Talk Mobile / T-Mobile US (T-Mo selected)
Network Operator / Available Networks: (AT&T, T-Mobile)
I am running CM9.1 on my T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy SII, SGH-T989 (rooted)
Plan: Value Plan with Unlimited Data w/ 2GB cap for high speed.
EDIT: actually i dont think i can get 4G on this plan... anyone else with this plan?
I'm on the monthly 4g plan for tmobile. $60 plan with unlimited everything 2gb at 5g speeds. I get great speeds. Now if you used up those 2gigs of 4g, left data on while a data hogging app was running, could suffice to where your data went. Once that 2gb is done, your knocked to edge. Log into your account via WWW.T-Mobile.com and click "my account" and turn off WiFi and select yes. It will tell u how much data that's been used.

Try changing this: Network Mode (GSM (selected) to AUTO.
:good:
@nellycruzz i just switched from Sprint at the end of august. and I've use about 15 MBs so far, so that is definitely not the reason.
@premiatul nope. dont see the auto option. just GSM and LTE/GSM.
EDIT: just tried what LTE/GSM would do, and it seems like it gave me a little more speed increase, now at 114 kB/s, the network was Cell...
tried the GSM option again, and i got 235 kB/s with the network being HSPA.

i actually chatted with a tmobile rep today. They basically told me that the phone connects to the network automatically, and after 2GB's the speeds drop to 2G. I'll try again tomorrow though
Well i guess you opted for the $10/month for 2gb over true unlimited for $20?

I've seen people say this, but I am pretty sure the terms and conditions for the old plans did not include tethering as Tmobile still had a separate fee for this. You got around this by not using Chrome on the tethered device.
That being said, shouldn't you still be able to tether the same ways as it wasn't really "allowed" before?
I'm on 4G monthly plan with 2GB cap. My SGII with stock ICS 4.0.4 getting 21Mbit down and 2.6Mbit up on 4G.
So, I think if you have enough signal bars and 4G coverage in your area then something wrong with your phone or ROM.
Just tried at work since I get really good 4g coverage here. I pulled in 20443kbps down and 2358kbps up. So, if you're getting old-school dialup speeds, you are either throttled, or you don't have 3g coverage.
think i figured it out. just had to enable WiMax in my notification drawer . not getting great speeds like the others I've seen, but i got about 1 Mbps...and my network status is HSPAP:15 which is assume s H+
thanks for the help
I have a GT-9100 galaxy s2 that I use with the media net unlimited data plan and wondered if this phone works with it or not.
I have read that the S3 and HTC one unlocked get pushed to the smart phone plan just wondered if AT&T has done the same to this phone.

Yea I am using it on AT&T. My speeds are on avg 3-5mbs down load and 1 upload. I can get 6-9mbs down load at night some times and in a few places was able to get over 2mbs upload, but that's rare. The highest download speed I ever got was 12mbs download and 2.6mbs upload.
Sadly even with 21mbs H+ built in the phone, AT&T only uses H+ 14/7mbs. So that really sucks. But on the good side I have gone over 100GB two times with out issue. No throttling or any of that.
On avg I really only use 5-20GB a month, I only used the 100GB when my ISP failed me. ( Screw you time warner Cable, will be glad to be rid of you soon.)

For $45/month or less, 1-2 GB/month at LTE speeds is competitive... but data with Straight Talk had always been a bit flaky for me, with high latency. I wonder if AT&T's LTE on Straight Talk would be better.

Who knows, maybe I'm just unlucky but every time I turned off LTE on the three LTE phones I've had and relied on HSPA+ I saw about a 50% improvement in battery life. This is significant to me...
I'm not on an LTE plan anymore so I've had turned off the whole time of ownership of my s4 so I can not make judgement on this phone.
Not sure why some people always claim to get "capped" by straighttalk in every forum. I was with them a year and never got throttled or capped. My wife is using my old S2 on exact same account now-still uses what she wants, when she wants. Never received a call or text like others say they get when going too high. If you are free to go try them out-I say do it. Let us all know how their LTE is. I went to them from ATT back when they had the ATT sims the first time and could tell NO DIFFERENCE in call reception or quality.

I can attest to the throttling as I was throttle several times. It seems that once you get throttled once, you seem to be targeted more often. A lot of people were forced to buy new sim cards because the problem was so rampant.
Despite the throttling, I still think straight talk is the best deal around.

.....I don't think you understand fully what capped means....If it wasnt unlimited 2 things would happen. One no more data period once you hit that 1-2 gb limit or youd be charged out the ass for going over.... do either happen? No.
Does it get slowed down a bit once you do go over? Yes. Do you still have data? Yes. Can you still use as much as you like? Yes. Translation unlimited.
Unlimited speed. No. Unlimited data yes.
Also just because your data is faster doesn't mean you will use more faster. No matter what data connection you use you still are going to use the same amount of data regardless.
Example IF it took 1mb of data just to open Facebook on 3g its still going to use 1mb of data to open Facebook on lte. Its just going to load faster on lte

Check AT&T's LTE map.
Yesterday, I put my T-Mo StraightTalk sim into SGH-T999L and, lo and behold, I got LTE. I did not change the APN, so it still was fast.t-mobile.com, and it worked on my ST sim. The network was shown as HOME and mobile network type as LTE. First, I thought it might be a glitch, but when I ran speedtest, it showed ~16 mbps down and ~8.5 mbps up, so I could see that it was indeed LTE. Unfortunately, I did not take any shcreenshots to prove it for naysayers here, and I do not own a T-mo LTE-enabled device. But hey, anybody can try it.
AIO (or should it be EOL/end of life) was throttled by AT&T. Still LTE, but limited to slower speed. This was proven with a side-by-side test of AIO and GoPhone.
How about ST and Net10? I use GoPhone for long road trips because there is no throttling whatsoever.

I was on AT&T GoPhone but recently switched to ST ATT. So far I haven't noticed any drop in speed myself, but I've only done anecdotal speedtest stuff relying on memory for the AT&T GoPhone speeds. The pings also have seemed comparable (I've seen 80-200 ms).

yours is one viewpoint..there IS, however, merit to the thought that faster speed equals more consumption. Coming from Sprint, if I didn't have an LTE connection I, basically, wouldn't even try certain things (updating apps/watching videos). With a faster connection comes the knowledge that you won't be waiting 5 minutes for a 1 minute YouTube video to load (let alone watching a movie/tv show via the xfinity app) and that, in turn, means you'll use more data. Not saying you're wrong because your Facebook analogy is totally accurate, just providing another viewpoint/perspective.
I recently switched to tmobile on my s6 edge g925t to get away from metro.... I even have an lte extender set up. I get 3-4 bars of lte And my speeds are very slow...any idea why...I have the default apn.. 1mbps download. ..

It's what they want you to buy to get faster internet and honesty i have it and it picks up a little bit.

Yeah sure. I usually get great speeds in that area which is near my work but this time it spiked up to over 100. Crazy.
No complaints here with Tmobile
I noticed my data connections had been reduced since I changed my plan to 10gb per line since I added another person. Is it supposed to be slower?
