Download Speeds! - T-Mobile LG G2x

So even though my download speeds have doubled coming from the Vibrant! My upload speeds are the same!
Does this sound right!
I get around 6 to 9mb downloads and only 1mb uploads!
G2X

Better than me. I get around 5-6 down and 1 up

I get about 2 meg uploads on 4G and 10 megs on Wifi.

I used to get on mytouch3g 3-4mb down and 1mb up, on the G2X I'm getting 1-2mb down and 1 up... I dont even know bout to call T-Mobile to make sure I'm on a 4g plan or something. yes I have the new sim in the phone.

Ive never bothered to test my mobile speeds. what is everyone using to test?

They told me they had to switch me over to the 4G plan.

There is no 4G plan or sim card! There are newer sim cards which they call 3rd and 4rth Generation!
I did switch my sim card and I did get better speeds, but I'm still using the same plan as my Vibrant!

Att improving their network again?

From about 1030 am to about 130Pm the data on my phone would not work. It showed a g for gprs. Once I finally got 3g and 4g service back I ran speestest several times hitting over 7Mb down and 1.3 up...on the download front that's usually double what I normally get. Has anyone else experience this?

If they can double my Download speed, I may just go ahead and cancel my DSL and just Tether everything.
I already get 4-5 MB Dwn and 3-4 Up .. 10MB Down and 8mb Up would be awsome lol.
Whatever provider I have for DSL is giving me 13 MB Down and 7 MB Up.
I just wish I had my works internet. 48Mb Down and 38 MB Up
I find it surprising that indy has speeds like this. You would think it would be the bigger areas

Please don't do that. While I agree that an Unlimited plan should truly be unlimited, folks who do this are the very reason they've implemented capped allocated rate plans.

T-Mobile throttle speeds

Hi all I'm currently on Sprint with an Epic 4G phone and considering switching to T-Mobile with the LG g2x
In your experience what does tmobile throttle you down to?
Is the higher 5GB option plan still available?
Thanks!
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
After you hit 5GB they will throttle the speed down to dial up speed.
If you get the 2GB plan then youll get throttled to dial up sped after you hit 2GB.

Not forever...you used to be able to remove the throttle in the G2 but as far as I know you are no longer able to do it. No one knows how long the fix will last untill t-mobile gets smart.

Will T-mo not sell you additional bandwidth when you hit your unlimit? I was just trying to figure this out on their website, but to no avail.
Sent from my LG-P999
What was the throttled speed that you got?
In other words you were getting 4g/3g speeds (don.t really know what the speed in MB/sec)
After throttling you now get how many MB/sec?
I just switched from a grandfathered t-zones plan to the android $10/month 200MB cap then throttle down "unlimited" plan. I just want to know how slow my internet speed will be after I hit the 200MB mark and if I will be able to use S*l*i*n*g* M*o*b*i*l*e or not. I used it for a minute and saw that I used 8 MB according the the usage chart on the TMo website. That's about 25 minutes at 4g speeds until I hit my 200 MB cap!!
After throttling you'll be on EDGE / 2G which is anywhere from 5KB/sec to 100KB/sec in my experience.
Ugh. Thats terrible.

Here's what I get when I'm throttled.

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

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 .

[Q] Data usage

I know we get unlimited data(2GB), but is there a way to keep track of the usage? I didn't see anything on the phone or VM site.
I use this app called radioOpt ..it is a widget an it tells you how much data youve used with wifi and regular 3g..see in the pic it on the top.

We do get unlimited data. Just after 2.5GB in a month, VM will throttle your speed for the rest of the month.

Lol, I use a Thunderbolt, and my GF has a Triumph. Even when comparing 3G to 3G, My Thunderbolt is twice as fast as her Triumph. 4G on my T-bolt makes her Triumph feel like its running on 1x. I can't imagine how bad "throttling" VM 3G service would be.

Great speeds. I've gotten up to 17 Mbps down. I notice you are getting really high pings like I sometimes have. Anyone know why they are so high? I never got anything close to those pings on Verizon or AT&T.

Think we need to wait for the kernel sources to be released, I get really ****ty speeds on CM9, and I believe it's because the kernel is only optimised for the stock ROM.
