AT&T is full of crap!!!
Wait till more than one phone is connected to the lte network and see what happens. I priced out moving my 4 lines over to verizon a few months ago, and it would have cost me $100 more per month.
I see 2.5-3.5 down and usually around 1.3 up. I'm more than happy about that. Most I've ever seen down is about 5, best upload was over 3.
I understand your point, but at least you can see that Verizon is not capping the upload speeds of TB and giving preference to iCrap users.
How can this be true? The picture clearly shows the Inspire 4G in Edge but the captions for the photo say the phone was in HSPA+?
I'm not saying that any 4G phone on AT&T can reach those LTE speeds, but the phone can pull better speeds with HSDPA, not Edge.
the makers of that app have reported problems in reporting the correct upload speed for the thunderbolt too, so the 45 mbps is innaccurate.
besides the main reason its this fast is because of the lack of competing lte signals for the phone as it is new, and att being behind in the lte game
I think the low signal has something to do with it too. I notice sometimes when I have 1 bar, even when connected to H+ I get intolerably slow speeds. But that pic is funny, good point with the Edge and the comment haha.

With 5 bars and H+ connected I get about 2 - 2.5 mb/s down and 320 kb/s up. Still, that's lousy compared to Verizon's 4g.
Inspire is not running on 4G yet
Go to settings, about phone, networks and it does not show hsdpa or hspa+ is shows UMTS which is also known as 3G....

Speed
Hi, here in Puerto Rico My best speed was 4.6 Down 1.8 Up...
Thats good for me!!!
I love Inspire
Go into the Thunderbolt threads. The speedtest app can't measure correctly for LTE. When they go to speakeasy in the web browser they're pulling about the same speeds as us.

I had a chance to play with a buddy's phone for a few hours and the phone itself seemed slower whenever I pulled up a list, such as apps or pictures. Of course, his phone hasn't been rooted yet, so there may be some untapped potential.
Nice thing about the Inspire is the huge dev community due to Desire HD ROMs being compatible. Thunderbolt is different enough that they will most likely be starting from scratch.
ATT 4G is only HSPA+ not lte so it cant get speeds comparable
Update from the article:
"We've been told by Ookla that the Thunderbolt's massive send buffer is responsible for the erroneously high uplink speeds -- they've got a fix in the works and it'll be available as an update to the Speedtest.net app soon."
I personally don't want to pay $150 for a front-facing camera. I'll stick with my $99 Inspire.

When u compare h+ vs LTE ...atleast make sure u got the right settings on the phone before trying to troll the inspire.

Otherwise I'm getting +1900k upload speeds and those were all during 5pm rush hour.
I've heard rumors of testing 42mbps around here. With download/upload like this around rush hour I've got to think something special is going on.

i must be doing it wrong cause i get barely 4.5mbs down where im at and it says i get excellent 4g coverage according to TMO's map. Anybody from Houston getting similar speeds, specifically the northwest side of town (Tomball)? also, do you guys get 4g coverage consistently without the radio swapping to slower towers frequently?
hmmm...i tested the display one at a tmobile store against my vibrant and the gs4g only got around 2500kbps download speed max. My vibrant did a little better than that. like 2600 to 2800. I guess i shouldn't jump on the 4G train just yet. I'm located in miami btw. Plus i think the store is near a deadzone to top it off...ill check out another location. But 10000kbps is awesome! Thats what i'd expect from the GS4G.

Same issue for me. I'm getting 400-600kbps in the same spot I tested my Vibrant last week and was getting 2.5-3Mbs. I've called Tech support and they have no answers.
I went to the damn store I bought it at and I was getting the same speed right out their door. The most I've seen with this phone has been 6Mbps and that was downtown Orlando. If this keeps up I'm dumping the phone before my 14 day period.

Right next to it my Inspire 4G is getting 1.5mbps upload... so clearly the 384kbps just happens to be the cap for non HSUPA, lol
i get 2.2mbps down and 7ish up. though on speed test app i rarely get any better than you are getting. try using the web browser on speakeasy.com. the speed test apps dont really work that well on this phone for some reason
on settings the about phone then mobile network type, shouldnt it say HSPA+?
why do we have HSDPA? is it because we have a diffrent class form the atrix?

atrix has hsdpa+ they promised an update to enable full hspa+ to the atrix and the inspire. the infuse is supposed to be the first full hspa+ phone. just att changing there tune on things as verizon steals iphone customers. also it takes time to update the network to support that the traffic. as the backend get stronger they will budge more on regulations.
Hmm i still think it should say HSPA+. but either way i still get pretty decent down and up speeds.

try speakeasy.com in the web browser. my phone agrees eith that much better. i was getting similar download to you or less on speedtest bt on speakeasy i get up to 7mbps down
i got about the same
it might be something odd about my area and att's servers. my area was all Cell1 towers and were only updated about christmas time. i only had edge up till then and the area has always been weird.
i think ever since i had cingular>att i have had 3G down here.
same here
I am getting around 6MBPS up and around 300KBPS down. I also tried the speakeasy.net with same results. I have checked the speed in many locations and I found only one area that was giving me 2.5MBPS up. The download speed is high in all locations. ATT store told me that is the way it is (faster than 3G).
Its already enable. If you are getting slow uploads is your tower, try it at different times and dates. I will get anywhere from 100 to 1.5mbps on different days and times.

I have noticed that my speeds are the same as they were on the atrix. After the speed cap unlock.
Also keep in mind that ATT has just really started making the upgrades on their network from hspa to hspa+ just late last year and mostly in the centralized areas of major cities, starting with the standard backhaul of 14mb/s. Which is what the Inspire and Atrix are designed to run on. They are just barely starting to upgrade their network backhaul to the 21mb/s that T-Mo has already had in place on just about their entire since last year.
Now even though ATT has decided to go LTE, and while they are still slowing upgrading to 21mb/s hspa+, T-Mo has just started rolling out the next step up which is 42mb/s. It is with this that ATT plans to use as their regular next gen network when they purchase tmobile with real world speed of about 10mb/s down and 6mb/s up vs their 100mb/s LTE which has already been shown off to offer a real time download of about 25mb/s.

Yeah the issue is too coincidental that I'm capped at 384kbps... which is the cap of disabling HSUPA. My iPhone gets 1.1mbps upload, my Inspire 4G gets 1.2mbps upload, yet my Infuse gets 384kbps EVERY TIME? I call shenanigans.

it may be an issue with the radio firmware. there were articles about some protocall they use and blah blah. it might not work on the infuse in your particular area, but as you can see there are a few of us getting hsupa speeds and we did not do any special mods to our phones. i wish i could have a specific reason for you but that's just how att and technology in general work sometimes

You probably mean 5.2 down and 1.3 up.
I'm in the Tampa, FL area. I'm getting 5+ down and 1-2 up pretty regularly in my area. I'm happy...it's beats the crap out of my old T-Mobile BS. More importantly, the coverage is WAY better.
Yes where do you all live? Where can I get these speeds?
Does anyone know if the icon in the task bar actually reflects what type of tower you are connected to? i.e. will it say "3G" if you are connected to a non-"enhanced backhaul" tower? Mine always shows the "H+" icon, and my speeds have ranged from 1.5Mbps to 8Mbps.
Well it shouldn't. Hspa+ should be available everywhere hspa was, and that's att's entire 3g network. So anywhere you got 3g you should get hspa+. That doesn't mean the tower can supply data speeds in the range of hspa+ 7mbit to 21mbit. The speed to the tower is being called "backhaul"
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
That's what I was asking - if the H+ indicated the tower was upgraded or if it just shows H+ always. I had hoped for the former but expected the latter.
the h+ is only the cell technology used between the phone and the tower, and all 3g towers are upgraded to use hspa+, but this doesnt indicate the towers connection to the network, so even if the tower can only supply 0.0000001mbit, itll still say h+. the only way to know what you can get from your area is to look at your actual speeds.
Just hit 11.47 down and 1.64 up out here in NYC. Pretty good if you ask me.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App
Thanks, that answers my question. I was just hoping for an easy way to know which areas were upgraded, since I assume that even with an upgraded tower it's possible to see speeds below 7Mbps and therefore it wouldn't be cut and dried. I've only seen 7+ speeds in one spot so far (at work), I see more in the 2 to 4Mbps range so I guess a lot of my area is not upgraded.
I am very envious. We are supposed to be getting it in the next month. Of course by then we won't have the free tethering anymore.

Yes, this does have to do with my Inspire, since I compared to it.
I stopped by a bunch of stores today to check out some LTE phones, their speeds, and the devices, to see how much they stand up to the hype.
On my stop at an AT&T LTE store, I came across the Samsung Galaxy SII Skyrocket. I did a speed test on the device, and came up with these crazy numbers!
I made absolutely sure wifi was off so that the numbers would not be skewed. Also, there was an LG Nitro HD right next to it, in which I ran the same speedtest, and only got about 2Mb/1Mb. Of course I repeated the test numerous times just to make sure, and each time they came out about the same. I whipped out my Inspire 4G, and got about 4Mb/2Mb.
What's going on here? The only thing I could guess was that they were provisioning all the local bandwidth to the Skyrocket in hopes of trying to sell it quicker.
What do you guys think?
Well, Let's see. The skyrocket has LTE, the Inspire does not, hence the speed difference. You do the math.
It's legit.

It think it's fairly obvious that LTE is going to have a huge speed difference, but not THIS huge. I went to a Verizon store today also, and it got nowhere near those speeds. Also, why didn't the HTC Vivid and LG Nitro HDs that were on display get even close to those speeds, even though they were running on 4G LTE?
I think the real meat of this story is the fact that the OP's inspire received better Speed Test results than the new LG Nitro did. I find that interesting.
I'm with the OP in wondering if maybe they're provisioning the bandwidth for certain phones in certain markets.
I believe it's all a conspiracy. I got decent speeds on my Inspire every now and then, but I just wish the speeds were more consistent. I have a Skyrocket now and the speeds can be exceptionally nice in certain areas.

Not trying to pass off a wifi result as a true cellular data result are you?
don't mean to be off topic(i apologize), i understand theese speeds are lightning freakn fast, but what is one to do with theese speeds, at the current rate anybody running on a 2gig plan can expect to run that out quickly, right? check in on threads about phones running lte, and there will be a thread called throttled (for unlimited data users), 22mbs is great but two weeks later some are running 100kbs, sounds tough. so what exactly is the point of the large bandwith? faster cpu, dual core n such i get, but speeds like that are meant for home entertainement/pc, gaming console/pc, work etc.

Can't see how renewing the connection to the cell tower can improve the signal
The only thing I can relate it to is resetting your router at home to try to fix a laggy connection?

Yea, but the mobile signal is limited by the distance to the various cell towers. Renewing the connection isn't going to boost the signal or magically make that distance any shorter, it'll simply refresh/renew it.
I smell serious bull**** with that app. Only thing I don't understand is the number of reviews.

Yea, but the mobile signal is limited by the distance to the various cell towers. Renewing the connection isn't going to boost the signal or magically make that distance any shorter, it'll simply refresh/renew it.

See, I am thinking like you are! I agree with all your statments. Unless this app modifies TCP packet sizes and the like I cant see how it will boost performance....
But what intrigued me was the number of "5" ratings. Maybe it really does do something.
I might try it out this weekend. I always have slow data on HSPA+. On my Rezound with LTE I could get between 10 to 15 average down at home (boondocks) and in the city would easy hit 25+ When I was in the mall one day I scored 45 down. Thats not joke!
I miss my LTE and I know that HSPA+ will never hit speeds like that I am still under-enthused with AT&T's speeds. I was really hoping to get the 10Megs but I am waffling at 1.5 to 3megs down
Also let it be known I am on the 1.85 Radios. I have heard a lot of good things about the 1.88 so I might give that a shot this weekend too. However, I do get a solid signal so I cant complain tooooo much!
Rezound at its best...

Testing
I dont have time to test this over a whole day because I have work and in my free time I am playing with Scott's cleanROM. But did a couple of tests on this this morning using speedtest.
My setup is:
AT&T HTC One X (Obviously)
CleanROM 2.6 Standard Edition
Kernal: 3.0.8-01158
Build Number 1.85.502.3
Baseband version: 0.17.32.09.12 (Is this the radio?)
Sitting at the same spot with my phone inhand in midtown NYC I was on LTE with a network strength of:
RSP (dBm): -70
RSRQ(dB): -7
I ran speedtest without the app 5x on two different servers
Secaucus
Download Average: 12.91 MBsp
Upload Average: 13.628
Ping Average: 49.6
New York
Download Average: 12.72 mbsp
Upload Average: 14.16
Ping Average: 49
Then installed and ran the app and did the same process with speedtest

This app made be consistently get a better upload speed (not by much) and the download speeds were far more volatile IMO I didnt see enough to keep the app. But then again im a noob :/
Deleting the app now to get back to CleanROM 2.6 fun

That download speed is about what I average on AT&T's LTE network but my upload is usually at least double that. I've hit over 60Mbps down numerous times. I'm in the metro Atlanta area so I'm not sure if it's that good everywhere.
I had thought about trying this app out before because I used to lose LTE signal when I got by my house but with the newer radio I get 3 bars of LTE now. I also live about 50 miles north of Atlanta. Needless to say, I'm very impressed with the distance their LTE signal reaches to.
Good for all of you who are in LTE area.. Here in Jacksonville.. All we got are nice beach and beautiful girls in bikini... I'll rather have LTE speeds than those..
All I have here is crappy HSPa+ from At&t and bad signal reception. F*ck At&t

I think you're really missing your Rezound lol. Don't worry I miss it too. Extremely underrated phone.
