Testing results in garbage speed (consistently less than 7 Mbps down, less than 1 Mbps up, 20-25 ms ping, 6-8 ms jitter). Signal strength is apparently 38% (-111 dBm). I noticed it was bad sometimes when I was actually out and not at home on my WiFi, but I had to use my hotspot for a few hours since they were doing maintenance on the internet here at home, and it was just terrible. So now I have to ask.... what could be making it so slow? Is it just me, or are others suffering from terrible speed as well? Is it my modem? The area I'm in (Sacramento, CA)? Or is it actually on T-Mobile's end?
Just ran a few Speedtest app 5g tests in Southern Nevada...

I'm on EU firmware with T-Mobile network in Texas, and speeds are kinda all over but consistently fast. Odd that it used LTE for most of my tests instead of 5G though.
I'm not sure if it's always just been "bleh" speeds for 5G here or not, but seeing as how this is the first 5G device I've owned, it's hard to say if it's on my end or theirs.
Nope, must be something on my end. Their map says my area has "5G Ultra Capacity" so that can't be the issue.

Might just be your testing locations. 5g actually performs poorly in home environment for me, about the same as lte for speed but less reliable. I'd check open network maps to determine if you're actually close to a 5g cell tower (not relying on carrier provided maps that tend to skew positively for them), and if so, check if you get better signal outside. If you are close to a tower, get decent speeds outside, but not inside, then getting a signal booster for faster mobile speeds indoor would be needed.
It is definitely testing location. When I test at home, the speed is slower than 4g by a lot. When I test at work in NYC I have mind blowing speeds. Faster than my IPS at home.
Here is a screenshot of my 5g in NYC

Are they consistently like that? The results I mentioned above were at home. But I tested again yesterday while I was out, at a grocery store just down the street a few blocks, and I got 19.9 up/ 3.98 down (which is better, but still pretty sad).

I wouldn't be able to tell you honestly because I do not live in NYC. I commute there for work. I have one ran speed test there 2 times and both times I had blazing fast speed like that. Over at my house, the 5g is poor and I only use 4g.
@GuyInDogSuit I've been having the same issues lately. Not sure what's been going on. T-Mobile OP9P converted to DA firmware, using Family Mobile SIM connected using T-Mobile APN.
Was surprised to get these results today. Went to download an app update using mobile data, realized it downloaded in two seconds, so I figured I'd speed test it. I live in ****ty Ohio lol.

Holy mackerel!!
Anyway, to update on this.... It would seem it is definitely something in the area, and not just the 5G. I tested the LTE on my tablet and got piss-poor results on that as well. 9.89 down, 0.07 up. Yikes.
They're fine here
I was all over the place today, in at least two different counties, and tested several times. The speeds weren't spectacular, but they were still much better than the sadness I get at home. I should look into some ways to improve that, especially since it will be my only source of internet for a few days next week.

I've just cancelled my Desire/TMobile contract under Distance Selling Regs due to lack of 3G coverage in my area. Occasionally I would find a pocket of superfast 2Mbps HSDPA coverage, but mostly it was crap 2G.
I still have my Vodafone contract running so I'm thinking of staying with them and upgrading (although they're more expensive than TMob).
I've done a few speedtests, and I never get more than 0.47Mps on a 3G signal, although this is available nearly everywhere. Never seen an H.
Can anyone tell me if Vodafone provides the faster H connection anywhere, and whether I'm ever likely to see it in Suffolk?

i agree with you, that score took me bout 5 attempts. others were on average about 2-3 mb/s. and was surprised it pulled out that speed. but just goes to show your not far off the mark because when i ran the test it said 100 miles to London, and the png came out as 50 miles. maybe there's some technicality i am missing somewhere on why that happens, but it did so i have to admit i really font know why.
Hmmm. I was using Mordax Speedtest and got 589kbps, then installed and ran Speedtest.net and got 2101kbps!
The Mordax one doesn't run as long as the Speedtest, but even still - such a wide disparity! I don't know which I trust, if either!
EDIT: Xtremelabs speedtest gives me 1453kbps
Different speed tests will use different servers, that's why you get variable results.

How did you cancel a contract you had already agreed to?
I picked up a brand new G2 off craigslist and I've rooted it already. Phone is awesome. I can finally stream my Amazon Video On Demand collection without a hitch. I'm not noticing too much of a difference when I run speedtest.net though.
Do I have to change my data plan with T-Mobile? I live and work in LA so maybe the network is just jammed.
no speeds in LA just suck that bad. ive driven around all LA and never been able to get those hspa+ speeds, im thinking LA isnt enabled yet. but call tmobile and complain because when i called and said i wasnt the only when experiencing that they said it could be the phone.. my friend has a g2 also, and i dont think shes getting the speeds either. so make sure you call!! hopefullly either theyll tell us the truth or send some patch or something idk
I also live in LA, (commute between Long Beach and El Segundo) and I don't get the advertised data speeds... just the regular ole 3G speeds here.
In my area, I've actually seen not a boost in speed but a boost in reception quality moving from my N1 (which I still love ever so much, and might just sell my G2 for ). I stay on 3G/HSPDA in more areas than I used to. And I drop down to 2g less often during tower switches.
it all depends on location, for example, I live in a suburb of Chicago where the new network is supposed to be already up at, (about 5 miles away) and I get horrible speeds in my home (0.90 MBits) then about 20 miles in the other direction from Chicago (Aurora) speedtest said i was estimated at less than 5 miles from the aurora server in IL. I got speeds of nearly 9 MBits. I would complain but after some testing I guess it's just my location and could be the same problem for you, or I could just be high and we all have shoddy phones.
+1 for location. I'm in NYC so even with HSDPA enabled, I get 3G like speeds, a little faster, but when I go out to the suburbs, I get about 5Mbps which is quick, wifi like speeds.

Very true. At home I get 6Mbps pretty consistently, and the speeds are just downright incredible! At work I get a measly 300-400Kbps because the tower that I'm near at work is still stuck on 3G, not to mention I have horrible coverage in general at work (signal drops all the time).
I have reception in walmart now lol

At home my speeds are usually between 4 and 6 megs down and 700k up. My wife has a Vibrant and she gets around 3 to 4 megs down. I think we just live I'm a good coverage area. In some places I'll drop down to 1mb down. That's still dsl like speeds lol.

How do you manage this? I have a G2 as well - coming from a rooted G1. I'm guessing you have to set the browser mode to "desktop browswer" and just sign in to Amazon VOD?

Wow that's not good. About how fast when you do get 4g and how slow is edge?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
I've never actually speed tested, but 4g is fast enough to surf and email to your liking, while with edge your loading a page, sitting down able to look around a bit and then its finish loading. So yes, I dread whenever I get edge. However, I have no idea how fast Sprint speeds are.
San Francisco has one of the worst reception areas for almost all carriers. Data connection always drops too in my past experience and I use to frequent SF a lot. AT&T was by far the worst in the bay area. back with G2, I was maybe getting 5mbps around L.A. but SF was about 2mbps. upload 1mbps in both region. Tmobile have horrible upload speed but, in my experience, best download speed.
For a cellphone, I don't need upload speed much so I'm happy with the faster DL speed. too much ping to game and stuff with it.

Sprint 3g right now is about the same. I wait a little bit and then the page will start to slowly show bits and pieces and then its done. With wimax on my evolution 3d pages loads instantly. 3g right now is averaging .4mbps. Earlier at a friends house in south San Jose I was getting .2mbps. I was trying to download 1.2mb app and it took about a minute. So if I were to dl a larger file I'd be in trouble.

WWell I just switched and now I'm kinda regretting it. On my way home I was testing my speed and was getting about 7-11mbps using speedtest app so I was really excited....til i got home. In my home in San Jose I can barely get a signal and I'm constantly going on Edge. I live in a 2 story home with regular drywall walls. Edge for me is way worse as I'm only getting .02 - .04 mbps and web browsing is non existent. If I open up maps, I get gps lock but the map is just grid and it stays like that for a long time. Eventually map will show up but once I zoom out I get grids again. Texting takes forever to send. Phone calls will sometimes cut in and out. Majority of the time I get 1 bar and sometimes zero. Even at 3 bars edge is awful. My bed is by the window so I guess the area were I live just sucks. I may just have to go back to my evo 3d which I was getting good wimax and phone signal.

WiFi Calling is your friend.
Hello everyone, I'm a bit confused here. I've been with T-Mobile since July and have no complaints, so far I love their network and the unlimited plan they offer. I've had LTE here in the Orlando area since July when I jumped on their network. Only recently after getting curious about their LTE speeds vs. their HSPA+ speeds, did I find out that their HSPA+ is faster than their LTE?
Does anyone happen to know why this might be?
At first I thought it might just be the ROM I'm on, I was thinking that somehow the signal icons or what not, got switched up. But it's the same result across 3 different ROMs.
Here's a couple of screen shots of speed tests done only a few minutes apart on both LTE and HSPA+. I know there's a difference in signal strength with LTE, but from previous tests, even with full signal of LTE, the speeds are the same, HSPA+ was still faster. The tests were done using the same servers.
Could this just be an issue with the radios on the S4 since they haven't been updated since the LTE roll out? Or just an issue with T-Mobile? I find it strange.
Has anyone else noticed the same thing?

Generally speaking, no LTE is not slower than HSPA+. Speed depends on A LOT of factors, Im going to judge from your screenshots that the LTE having weaker signal is the reason for not as fast as H+. Also, the number of devices on LTE might be a lot higher than the number of devices on H+ in your area. I just got LTE at my work, and i average 20 - 30 Mbps. I love it. Before with H+ i was only getting 8 Mbps. Speed seriously depends on a lot of factors.
When testing speed, take about 10 tests that day that time. then in the next day do the same thing but at a different time of day.. etc etc. then average.

That is correct.. It depends on how many devices that tower have.
When tmobile update to LTE here in Dallas, Tx my HSPA+ boost to highest. I used to get around 15-20Mbps download on H+ After a month or two of LTE my speed boost to 30-35Mbps download. I know because I had my S3 back then. My S4 with LTE gets around the same last I check.. 30-35Mbps. So yeah LTE is faster than H+ With faster uploads but you will never get top speeds on a device dual to so many people in that tower.
So where ever you have most be more LTE devices using that tower than H+

I've done tests with LTE at full signal strength and have gotten the same results. Also, I thought it might have been upgrades or something effecting it, so I've been doing the same tests for almost 2 weeks now, all with very, very similar results. Even at early morning hours (between 2 and 4AM) when network traffic is usually low, and I get the same results.
Before I took a screen shot, I ran 5 tests on both LTE and H+, the results were pretty the same as in the shots I posted.

Mine was quite a bit slower than my Note 20 Ultra at first but after a couple reboots it's almost identical to the Note.
No problem here with Magenta Max. I got 470Mbs the other day on 5G UC (ultra capacity).
Any chance they are throttling you?
I am here in NE Ohio. At times it crawls so bad. Really pissing me off. 5G to LTE handoff is horrible
I'm having problem when it shows 5g UC. I get no data at all. If it shows just 5g it's fine. I have to switch to LTE when I have 5g UC or I get no service.

Same here. The first and maybe the 2nd day it was very good for me.
T-Mobile here. 5g in my area in San Francisco (in the middle of the fu_king city) is total ****e. The worst is the P6P (and my 4a5g) refuse to let go of a weak, one bar 5g signal for a much stronger LTE signal. I turn off 5G more than anything on this phone.
I can't say blame falls all Google or all TMO. All I know, is it ain't pretty when you are trying to save the world from the Enlightenment (Ingress reference).
T-Mobile was upgrading a tower near my house a few weeks ago and I had the same issue, pre Pixel. The P6 Pro has been super fast since I got it. I'm using the unlocked version straight from Google and not the T-Mobile version.
Yeah T-Mobile has been trash in this phone. No matter where I am I can't get over 3megs. When my iphone gets 20+
mine was all jacked up too. did a reset of all network connections in settings and rebooted and it's been great since. it was fine for the first 2 days as well. carrier services update may have messed things up.
same here, tmobile is not great, same issue on 5gUC, will get around 1-3 down which even then freezes and loads any video playing and music will just stutter. so its been greeaatttt
I uninstalled latest update to carrier services from the Google playstore. I can at least get data now on 5G UC.
I'm on T-Mobile by ways of an acquired Sprint customer. I'm in Tampa with my 6 Pro on an eSIM and data service has been very good. 5G symbol everywhere and 5G UC speeds are faster as I've been speed testing when I can and see it.
Well that was short lived. Took the dogs for a walk this morning. Back to no data when on 5G UC. Getting the exclamation in the notification area.
My 5G on TMobile is good so far, but it depends on the Tower locations...
