PLEASE. No flaming, whining, or arguing.
That being said, now that we all share this reminder of how things once were, lets get a little nostalgic and post speeds. (Had to be done)
I get 131k down, 87k up. (That's about 3x faster than dialup lol.)

2.23 down, .87 up, 123 ping. Faster than my brother's Clear internet. Haha.
If you set your phone to not use eHRPD (plenty of posts on this forum and elsewhere with explicit instructions), you don't have to worry about 1x. I haven't heard of anyone setting their phone to use EvDO Rev. A and being unable to do so. The EvDO Rev A network seems to be working fine, as long as it uses the original HRPD and not eHRPD. Until we have LTE again, the only downside to disabling eHRPD is that you won't be able to use voice at the same time as EvDO. You can get around this by using a VoIP service like Google Voice or Skype and multi-task that with your other data.
There might be localized outages of EvDO as well, but nationwide, generally speaking, you shouldn't be on 1x today any more than any other day (ofc. if you ALWAYS only get 1x then you won't get anything better today, either...)
That said, more appropriate topic in the thread would be "Post your EvDO Rev. A speeds"
I'm getting 109 ping, 1320kbps down, 105kbps up on EvDO Rev. A in Maryland on my Thunderbolt. I think that's a bit below average -- I certainly remember getting better upstream on my previous EvDO smartphones -- but maybe it's because people are still up at 1AM and the EvDO radios are extra-busy due to the number of people with LTE in the area who are stuck on EvDO tonight. Since I've been in 4G coverage 24/7 since the day I bought my Thunderbolt in March, tonight is the first time I've tried EvDO on the Thunderbolt, and I can't say I'm impressed. But again, it may not be the Thunderbolt, but just the generally problematic state of VZW's network.

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....

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.
Sent from my Gingerbreaded Inspire using XDA Premium App
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.

I've tried several different radio combinations and it all results in the same problem. Either I'll get reboots or I'll have a very difficult time getting internet connection. Which means, no 4g, no 3g and yep, no 1x.
I understand this is new technology and I decided to jump on this network so I should be patient with any growing pains..right, okay, whatever..
From my understanding, Verizon has built a whole new network for 4g users, which means, they're not on the Rev.A. They're on eHRPD along with CDMA + LTE/EvDo Auto. Is this the reason why, Thunderbolt users are having such a hard time transitioning from 4g-3g? Are there not enough 3g towers on this, "Thunderbolt new network" to handle us?
Why then do I get such a strong 3g signal transitioning to Rev. A along with CDMA PRL? When I have these settings, my 3g is always on; unlike when I have the primary settings( eHPRD + CDMA + LTE/EvDO Auto, I get no 3g and rarely get a 4g unless I'm outside my primary residence.

Trust me, I know it was down last week and I didn't complain once; however, it appears to be up again and I've been getting 4g periodically. What bothers me is the transitioning from 4g to 3g. I had 4g today and was running 10mbps download no problem, but when 4g gave out it couldn't even pick up 3g. So I changed over completely like I stated above and now have a solid 3g signal. Why can't we use the Rev.A along with CDMA + LTE/EvDo Auto? Is that radio combination possible?

For dev's reading, please comment on what your thought are in my OP. I also want to know if anyone's battery temperature stays around 100 degrees Fahrenheit while operating on the 4g network. And what if anything can be done to prevent such an increased temperature.

Absolutely correct. You can't rant about poor 4g transition and blame it on eHRPD when that's down lol. eHRPD is actually what makes the transition smoother.
I'm sorry you are having a bad experience with it, but complaining won't help, and if you go back to 3g imagine how silly you will feel a couple months from now when everything is working perfectly and we have cm7 and gingerbread das bamf?

You may have just answered my question. So eHRPD has nothing to do with a different network? It only aids in transitioning users from 4g to 3g? Is there an easy way to confirm when eHRPD is back up and running?
EDIT: Okay, thank you for the information. I've done some research and posted what I've found below. It helps a lot when we know what the problem is and what actually is responsible for the loss of transitions.
Here's a nice confirmation: "Well, here is some semi-good news this morning folks. 4G LTE is back up nationwide, although we’ve been told eHRPD is not, which means no soft hand-offs between 3G and 4G at this time....."

That article is from the 28th? Is eHRPD still down (I'm kind of an idiot about these things)? I haven't noticed any data issues at all here in Detroit.
If you are getting no connection, might want to bring it in to Verizon, I wasn't getting any data and they fixed it, also to deal with the 3g/4g transitions I use LTE on off
And I will just put it in LTE mode when I knowing I'm in a 4g, and then switch it back to 3g when I'm not in a 4g area

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.

Nothing here in King of Prussia, PA (Philly suburb) to even match those speeds

With AT&T announcing they are stating to turn on their LTE network on the 18th this month http://www.engadget.com/2011/09/15/atandt-to-officially-deploy-its-lte-network-september-18th/, will our Infuses benefit from the higher speed?
I've read through a couple other threads on the topic, but didn't see any definitive Yes or No's. Mainly just comments on battery life issues that LTE might cause.
So, is there any new info? Are our Infuses real 4G phones or just the same 3.5G/HSPA+ as the other 'mis-labeled' 4G phones from AT&T?
I'm not holding my breath. my "4G" state doesn't include my HOUSE oddly enough. The coverage map is bull**** at it's finest.

LOL...This question is popping up all over and it just cracks me up...
There are not even any LTE phones on the market for ATT...
The article does confuse me though...they already have LTE active in a few cities, and it has been a city by city rollout....so are they going to turn on the remaining cities on the list on the 18th?
*Dallas, Houston, Chicago, Atlanta, and San Antonio..which were already scheduled...
They literally have two hotspot devices that will take advantage of this... that is all that I am aware of.
They advertise the Atrix as having LTE on their website...but does it?
I do think we will see 3 or 4 LTE devices by the end of October though.
The Infuse only has HSPA+. AT&T's website says LTE for the Jetstream and their modems and such.
There's no reason they wouldn't shout it loud and proud if it did. It doesn't have LTE.
Atrix and Inspire = category 7 device with only 16QAM = 14.4mbps capable.
Infuse = category 10 device with support for 64QAM = 21mbps.
The network has to have 64QAM turned on to achieve HSPA+ speeds over 14.4mbps.
AT&T's network doesn't have it on for some idiotic reason. It's sadly 16QAM only which downgrades peak rates on Infuse from 21mbps to 14.4mbps.
Here are some videos to prove 16QAM limit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73zZtMF95SU
And to prove 14.4mbps cap: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYkeSJH5uSM
AT&T doesn't have LTE phones. Only one tablet, one air card, and one WiFi hotspot.

As I can tell, no. This is because the hardware just can not support it. Unless If they release a special version of the phone with LTE, then it will not happen (probably).

You can not just get on the LTE network if your phone doesn't have proper radio, not 700Mhz capable, etc. It's not like an old school AM radio so you can miraculously "tune in" to AT&T's LTE lol...
There is the overly expensive apple-like-priced HTC JetStream which is LTE but it is a tablet.
No. Just no. Everything about this thread. The answer is NO and its just NO in general. NO!!
I wonder what phones they will release for the 4G LTE network. There exists NONE currently and their leaked road-map does not show any. You would think something would come out along with the network this weekend.

Hope this adds some clarity for those who aren't familiar with cellular technology.
I think I might cut the grass today.
Oh and the answer still is no.
I'm just going to post a bunch of screen shots of my data tests. All were outside in central Philadelphia from yesterday around the same time. There is just a ton of fluctuation in the speed and ping/lag times. Any ideas on what's causing the flux?

To many variants on this, how far from the tower, how much interference there is, how many are using the network.
Also on your last pic you are on the edge aka 2G network not HSPA+

Looks like to me you were probably on the edge of HSPA+ network.

That always happen to me when i Travel to Different Cities.
At home i usually get 5 mb/s and in different city i get 40kb/s
and i did make sure i was on HSPA+ and my signal bar was full.
Exactly, I travel all up and down Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina and Washington D.C. for work and I think the Max I've ever gotten was 7mb per second.

I've always had this problem with Wind. Nothing that you could do about it.
I'm already lucky enough to have "unlimited" data included in my plan, so I'm not going to complain.

lol wtf r u guys on? i get even 8/s ussually
well the fact that they were all taken within 100m of each other and outside and in Philadelphia, like I said, means most of the reasons don't make sense.
I did take a few with Edge, which were a lot slower, but often had less ping time. Thanks for the feedback. I find it hard to believe that the traffic flux within 3 minutes would cause a 500ms swing in lag times so I'm kind of thinking that it's really an issue with the hardware/ROM that gives me such fits.
I have the same problem around Salt Lake City, UT. My phone will show 4g service, with full bars, and yet my connection will constantly stall out or not work. Some days it works fine other days it's worthless, even though it says 4g. F'ing tmobile.
Are you usually located in NY NY like speed test says? Because when I was in NY near queens, I only got hspa+ speeds to. When ever I came back home (Texas) I'm on 4g networks now. And I'm on latest cyanogen mods stable for g2x

Its the G2x, not T-Mobile. When I had my G2x I would get max 7 down, higher ping, and same upload. But honestly, you don't really need much more on the G2x.

Accessing the network in Philly will lead to a lot of fluctuation, especially at 1:30 in the afternoon. A lot of people in the city use T-Mobile and peak hours suck here.
Also included in the issue is that while network is a major player, the speed at which the phone processes stuff hurts the speed. If your phone lagged up at any point during the test, you'll notice a huge fluctuation.
