Calling all Arkansans! What are your data speeds? :)

I want to use this thread to gather a number of members' experiences with data speeds in Arkansas. I'd like to also welcome anyone who's done a speedtest while in Arkansas . When reading through numerous other threads about data speeds, most people are obviously in areas not even remotely close to mine. And since cellular data is so dependent, in part, on location, I want to narrow down the results to digest.
Overall (at my home), I average about 1.5 mbps down and 1 mbps up. During time periods where I get good results, I average about 3 mbps down and 1.1-1.2 mbps up. However, while in another part of my city, I average 4-5 mbps down and 1.1 mbps up at any time of day.
I'd like to know if any other Arkansans are getting better speeds, or worse, on average (and include location & time of day). Thanks in advance.

I was just there. I went to Mena from Texas. Highway 71 I believe.
A little before I got out of texas, I lost hspa. Pretty much as soon as I hit Arkansas, I went to edge. I did a couple of speed tests along the way and the best I got, sadly, was 45kbps down and 44kbps up with a 250ms ping. Hell , even the internet where I was at was only 256k down. Don't know what the upload was. Was kind of nice though. No cell phone, cell service and a bunch of trees and peace and quiet........

I am in Russell illegal and get 4.5mb/s down and 2.0mb/s up

Interesting. I have a couple of questions .
What rom, radio/ril, and apn settings are you using?
I'm more interested in your upload. Have you always been able to get 1.3+ mbps up? If not, what did you do to achieve this?
Thanks in advance .

NW AR... Averaging .5 probably up and down. Very disappointing.

Impressive. Mine isn't anywhere near that here, but it is in the 15Mbps range, very good.

is the speedtest app even accurate? try speakeasy.net from your browser then post your results.

Hes likely on EE4. Which is accurate for Froyo. I've hit the 30's before and I live in Houston. There's another guy on here that has 38Mbps downstream in his sig I think, in Houston.

I peaked at 23mbps here on the north side of Fort Worth. Which is still pretty awesome. Now though I get a constant 10-15mbps pretty much all around the area.

Yea im on the EE4, with Speakeasy and 3 bars i get 25mbps download.

How do you see your 4g signal strength?

Im pulling the same speeds here in garland! Verizon is the best.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA Premium App

Yeah the max i get here in San Antonio is 22mbps. Just came over from sprint with an evo 3d and i couldn't be happier.
Sent from my SCH-I510 using XDA App

Wow, those are amazing speeds! The best I've seen in is 22 around I35W & 820 north. Unfortunately, though, I live in Denton and work off 35W where the signal is splotchy.

if you upgrade to the 2.3.4 leak, the speedtest.net app isn't reliable....

I'm in Austin Tx. We just got 4g last week and it's SLOWWWWW. On the app Speed test I go 71ms ping with 4.86dn and .62up. With Speakeasy I got 6.61dn and .67 up.
It's in the same ball park as the 3g. Not too happy with it right now.

Speed test scores????

Just took a few speed test and wondering if these are okay, average, or great 3g scores? Also what are your speed test results?

Pretty sure I can usually get well over a meg down. Let me try it....
Wow. Ok, bad signal in my office, I guess. I got 240/183/42.

So my scores aren't bad?

Well here are mine . First is 3G. Then 4G .

So my download speeds are about half of what they should be? And what screen shot app are you using cause the one I have is horrible.
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App

My 3G speed is usually around 500 - 900kbps down and 300 - 600kbps up depending on the area. My 4G/WiMAX is usually above 10 - 12mbit down and 1.5mbit up.

Nick, I'd say your speeds are kinda bad. The speeds I got in my test are much lower than what I'm used to getting. I'm typically in the area of about 1.2 megs down.
Oh, and you guys who get 4G coverage, I hate you.

I know how you feel about 4g I use to have it until I moved for college. :/.....but is there any way to speed up my 3g other than changing my http proxy port to 0 and http proxy address to 0.0.0.0 because I have already done that.

1) I get about 800-1200, so yeah those speeds suck.
2) Don't hate the player, hate the game! (my 4G speeds average 2mbps in house, 3 on street 5 down the street.

I am lucky to ever get over 300kbps on 3g here in St. Louis. And 4g never stays connected long enough to even use.

Usually my uploads are a little better but coverage is iffy since I am in the basement of my work. Sprint has installed some sort of booster down here which is why I am able to get coverage at all and is the only carrier I could use down here. The speeds/connection quality are similar if I go upstairs out the dungeon as well.

Here in DC I might as well have 3G (technically it still is). I get, on average, 4 down, 1 ish up. A few times I've gotten 8 down. In wifi I average 8 or 9 download. Which still sucks.

South of boston I get 5 up as a MAX, most of the time it is only 2-3, and 1 down MAX.
It might be a little more useful if people gave their location AND their current radio/ril/DISH combination. I'm using the official TmoUS package with the included radio/ril/and new version of Dish2.

I get 3 to 5 in Virginia. I still remember the days of EDGE though, so I'm grateful even if I have 1mbit.

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA

Those numbers in Atlanta are ridiculous! I'm so jealous right now. My WiFi is oftentimes lower than my darn data connection. It's such a joke. In Ocean City, Md. this weekend I got 0.06Mbps down, 0.01Mbps up, and 2904 ping (I can provide pictures if you don't believe me). That's literally with the 4G symbol and full bars. My girlfriend's iPhone 4S was hitting 2Mbps down (and that's 3G), and a friend's Bionic managed like 10Mbps down. T-Mobile was killing me; I essentially couldn't use my data all weekend and there was no WiFi.

ok, i'm in southern California and averaging around 3MBPS down. what radio should i flash? TMOUS, ICS, ARHD.
thanks!

and thats all we ever need folks. For me anyway, lol. I don't need 18mbps or more or whatever LTE is. 5mbps is fast enough for a mobile device. even 1.5mbps... that's just me talking though. haha
oh and the highest I've ever got was 9mbps

I used to get 7-9 down, but that's dropped off to 5-6 recently with the latest T-Mobile firmware. I may go back to the international.

Just out of curiosity, what is the fastest speed you've benched with your HTC One S with HSPA+ 42? Please share yours and state location if possible. Attached is mine done in the Bay Area.

Union City area. i wouldn't get too caught up with the top speed as you saw the latency was very bad. i was just curious to see how high it can go. on average i'm closer to around 8-10Mb down.

I'm in an overly condensed city, but within the city I've gotten:

But my average is about:
8down/2up

Interesting that most of you guys with "4g" are not really getting much faster speeds than I get here with 3g (Averaging about 8 down and 3 up with the international One S).
