Getting these speeds with full bars,half bars,no bars, different areas of my city, Dallas, TX. Local AT&T store says they are aware of the issue........Dammit. Anyone else?
Kinda slow, but not nearly as bad out here in outskirts of Topeka Kansas.
Yeah, it's not normal, takes about 15 minutes to download a 7 mb app....
This is my speed and apn settings
Yea att network is pure crap compared to Verizon, they can't handle the bandwidth. It doesn't matter what city you're in how many bars you have or what time you try, it's randomly sporadic and always slower than Verizon. I have both and travel often and have compared them a lot. Verizon is always consistent, only issues ever are when there's a major concert or sporting event and the towers are overloaded, att almost always sucks, lol

This is totally untrue. I have very fast speeds on ATT and have coverage anywhere I go. I carried a Verizon phone for work and ATT for personal and both have spots (very few for either) where they didn't have service but ATT is just as fast.
ATT where I live (Orange County CA) is way faster in speed than friends I have with Verizon phones on their LTE network.
I'm all good from South of Houston. Great speeds where I'm at always consistent.

lol, false. I seen AT&T have the exact opposite to what you just said. And seen Verizon have slower to poor data speeds.
I've never seen that anywhere that they both have towers. I'm talking good signal full bars both 4g lte, att is always slower. Quite often atts network won't even work, getting speeds well below 1Mbps , this has been confirmed on multiple att phone's so I know for a fact its the network and not my phone.

Any good speeds out there?

Here in Seattle, I just got 10390, 11574, and 10063 down on three consecutive tests using mobilespeedtest.
Using Ookla's SpeedTest app, I could only get 2.5 down/0.6 up, without having moved the phone *at all*.
Mobilespeedtest isn't accurate. The speedtest.net app is the one that you should trust.

So what type of upload speeds should we be getting, is the phone HSUPA compatible? With all this talk about the Atrix and it's upload speeds, it makes me wonder if I am getting cheated out of faster upload speeds. Thanks for listening.
Never seen more than 5mps dl and 4 upload. In las vegas, no more than a mile away from a 3g listed tower. Phone shows -71dbm when I tested just outside of my house and looking in the direction of where the tower is.
My wifi gives me almost 9mbps second down and 4 to 7 upload. (I don't pay for the really fast speed service at home)

I'm in Seattle and got 1159kbps on mobilespeedtest. But I got 3005kbps on speedtest app. My average at home is between 2.5mbps and 3mbps on speedtest app and speedtest.net tethered. I don't know about that mobilespeedtest. The first test gave me 700kb, the second 1159 and the third 2186 within 2 minutes. Speedtest.net has always been more consistent than that for me, and pretty comparable to my other go-to, integra.net (also Ookla FWIW though.)
Chinly43 (or anyone in Seattle): Hope you don't mind if I pick your brain about the G2 in Seattle. I tried to check out your posts but am unclear if you found a good radio, or other solution, that gets the G2 to stop freaking out while traveling around the city? Does yours freeze up and lag? Are you getting dropped calls? Can you tell me what solution worked for you? I am in Northgate but problems started in Bellevue and also the University area while on the bus. At home my data flickers into H+ intermittently but remains on 3G 99.9% of the time. Thanks for any advice you can give.
hit 7 mbps the other day in houston. BUT i was never to replicate it.
I feel that HSPA+ is a myth. Any time I have looked at a tmousa 4G phone's mobile network type to see which network it is connected to, it ALWAYS says HSDPA. Can anyone tell me if it ever says HSPA, HSPA+, or if it is just supposed to say HSDPA?
The most i could get in Italy with speedtest.net was 6.07Mbps down and 3.14 up... even though I think the carrier's network just supports 7.2, hopefully in a few months it will be upgraded to 14.4
The most I've ever seen in Orlando was 8mbps dl, maybe 2mbps ul. On average though I get less than that, depending on the area I'm in.

I love T-Mobile until I get about 10 miles away from a city center. then my 4g drops off. 20 miles and my 3G drops off. 50 miles and no data at all.
I snowboard a lot and At&t's coverage out in the sticks waaaaaaaay better than TMobile.
I was also in a grandfathered unlimited data everything+ plan that was hard to leave. Only paid $60 a month, for unlimited 4G... But, not being able to use data in rural areas killed it for me.
A friend of mine, who is with Verizon and works for a company that gets 20% off At&t bills, let me use his email to get a discount with At&t... softened the blow a bit.
I will say, if you're in or near a city, T-Mobile rocks and their HSPA+ is just about as fast as At&t's LTE.
That's not bad at all. I checked the coverage map though, and for me Tmobile looked really spotty. I'm on VZW (blech!), but usually the coverage at least is decent. I kept unlimited data, but if that ever goes away, I'll probably be at T-mo's door.
I'm lucky to be in a big market like Chicago, I never lose anything lol when I go to cali and bike or do moto in the Mojave I lose signal, but so does pretty much everyone

I had T-Mobile years ago, long before Smart phones were in. Couldn't stand them. This was circa 2005. Since then...
Well, after seeing all the rave reviews around here for T-Mobile I've been contemplating the jump. Unfortunately every T-Mobile user I've found in person in the area hates them. And after doing a speed test on a 4G phone... it was roughly 1/4th as fast as Verizon's 3G. Until T-Mobile brings some more speed to Rochester, NY... I'm sticking with Big Red.

Oh good, I was playing with ATT LTE earlier and was getting a constant 32-35Mbps so I wondered how Sprint compared. Those 12s in the previous posts worried me.
Not LTE speeds but nice 3G speeds here in Delaware on the FH05 modem

I have been testing along the 110/10 route from Pasadena to Santa Monica this last week, and things seem to be slowly ramping up.
The downloads have averaged around 6-9mbps and I've gotten as high as 31mbps. So quite a range, and the places it spikes are fairly consistent. So I suspect certain towers either have better backhauls than others, or have just been installed and troubleshooted a little longer - so they're more stable.
Either way, about 30% of that route has a very solid LTE connection on my Galaxy Nexus. Not great, but a nice start, and about a 100x improvement over the 3g speeds I have been seeing.
Portland
Just my $.02 worth,
Portland just got partial LTE 2weeks ago, though it comes in and out at my apartment in Beaverton. It's odd, ill have full bars of 4g, then it just disappears. Either way, I've not seen a speedtest.net test of over 5.5MB down from my sgs3
Sprint LTE speed - Boston area
Sprint LTE speeds in the Boston Area. Download does spike over 20Mbps, but usually stays in the 15Mbps range. Upload is consistently around 7Mbps. Battery life has been fine, I'd rather get less battery on LTE than not being able to stream music on 3g...
So, for the majority of last month I recall having absolute **** speeds on 3G ranging from 20 to 70 Kbps occasionally reaching to something like 120Kbps. This is in my normal coverage area where I can often get from 1100 to 1800 Kbps. I had thought that I might be getting throttled since I used a total of like 14GB of 3G last month. The new billing cycle started today and I'm still getting the same horrid speeds. What gives? I've already reflashed my ROM and modem without any benefit. Anyone else know what could be going on?

I tried Sprint briefly years ago, sounds like they haven't improved much since then.
if not for the LTE in my area (san antonio) sprint would be unusable.
It sounds like 1X data speeds and not 3G, some of the stock roms display a 3G icon even when connected to 1X data. If you use the speedtest app
it will show a graph of the results, if the speed graph looks like it hits a ceiling around 100k,.it is probably connected to 1X data.
If you see multiple spikes in the graph well above 100k, it is probably a crappy connection/signal.
Same here. I'm on Virgin Mobile, but it's apart of Sprint too. It's been crappy for the past week.

I'm on Sprint. Get about 500 to 1000kbits on 3G in my area. I understand they're not great in all areas, but the price is good.

So. Uh. If that isn't the best speed test you've ever seen? I think Jellybro has the 1x indicator fix and the normal upload speeds seem to indicate I'm on 3G. Sprint dude just said to take it to a store. I guess I'll do that. Unless going back to complete stock might fox something. I'll try that next.

I've had nothing but terrible LTE reception in my area, despite T-Mobile's coverage map showing I'm in the area. So I decided to do a little test.
I woke up late at night and ran Speed Test on my phone to check my speed. I found that I got the best download speeds late at night when I had my S3, likely due to less traffic. Here are my results:
LTE: 3.80 Mbps Down, 1.31 Mbps Up
HSPA+: 12.69 Mbps Down, 1.7 Mbps Up
Crazy isn't it? Good thing I'm on Wifi almost everywhere I go otherwise that would drive me nuts. Results are even worse during the day.
I get pretty amazing LTE service in most parts of KC i usually get between 25-30Mbps down and about 15Mbps up or so. When I'm at home though my service is lousy with about 5Mbps down and 1Mbps up so for me it just depends where I'm at.

Before the Coverage map used to say because lte is still fairly new it's not a very good exactment on the coverage side or something on those lines. Anyway just because it says excellent or very strong doesn't mean LTE it just means it's a great coverage whether it be H or H+ or LTE. But it doesn't specify if that exact location is LTE. At my address it says excellent but it is only with H+ however.

same thing here in MN. coverage area says "excellent" but lte is horribly inconsistent and unusable for anything that involves downloading. this applies whether i'm indoors or out, rural or high-density urban area. HSPA+ gives me a consistent 2meg download speed on the play store, and that applies to browser downloads as well, so until they get their QoS issues resolved, i willl likely keep it to WCDMA/GSM.
