4g is great around Chicago. Oak Brook should be covered without an issue. 3g speeds are hit or miss depending on congestion. Signal is great but speeds can lag.

I have 4G coverage out in Naperville. Was in Oakbrook today with full 4G bars. Have never had a problem with 4G even when I got the EVO back in June of last year.

Ditto your c covered in chicago

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.

Just now did a test and got terrible speeds. The rain may have something to do with it.

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.

In queens right now been trying to get 4g for a half now and its not coming.

Anyone? Still cant get it

I'm in Brooklyn and i'm fine...

Thanks...... im right on the edge of bk and queens. Going do a battery pull

Lol its working now without a battery pull.
edit: Just keeps going in and out and then goes to 1X

now im not getting a signal. Time to call big red

Can somebody help me? Phone been stuck on 3g/1x all day and will not go back to 4g. I powered it off and did a battery pull. Still no luck. Called Verizon and they dont know what to do, they said I should do a battery pull and I refuse to do that.

There's nothing wrong with a battery pull. It's harmless.

ok thanks for posting man! When we have these problems we should call Verizon so they can know we have a problem in the city....because when I called they didnt know any problems going on in the city and couldn't do nothing for me they wanted me to do a hard reset. Everything is good now I am in the bronx now 3:04 Am was out drinking lol

I spoke to someone today about slow data since January and they told me that they're moving to Network Vision towers right now (3G/4G in one tower). She said they happen to be doing NY over the weekend, specifically Queens and Brooklyn. That might be it.

its gotten better.

Try this to get your 3g data back. It wont bring back your 4g, but youll also not be stuck on 1x.

That tweak is old. You can just download LTE switch to do same thing.
What the OP is saying is Verizon is having issues right now on both 3g/4g, the only thing available is 1x.

Uhhh, not quite, and way to fail. Next time perhaps reading will serve you better than just blurting out some random words as you roll your face on the keyboard.

it comes and goes, once sec 4G, then 3G, then 1x then nothing and then 3G then nothing on and on. Been that way since I got up in Central PA

problems on long island. there is definitely outages again. 3g speeds are garbage if 3g holds at all.
