I'm in San Francisco right now and am clearly in AT&T's 4g territory. Well I'm only pulling 3mb down on a speed test. And my buddy who is sitting right next to me with his iPhone 4 is pulling 4.5 down. I thought the iPhone 4 was only hspa and not even plus?
Is it possible ATT is throttling me because I dont have a "4G" specific plan?

A data plan is of course, always going to be a data plan. There is no difference from one plan to another AFAIK besides 2GB and 4GB or if you're grandfathered for unlimited.
Just obviously with software updates etc. to enable "4G".
I'm up here in MT and I barely touch 1.5Mbps if I'm lucky. My friend has the same issue, and AT&T keeps telling me it's because MT is a "new acquisition". BS I've had the service for almost 3 months now. Learn to put up more towers!
Anyways, that's my $0.02.

Wells there's not much I can do about it now. I'm in the back seat of a car going 80 miles an hour towards a non '4G' area.
I was certain I flashed the right radio. I have the H emblem next to my service indicator.
Can anyone that has experience with san Francisco confirm my speeds are unusually low? Also does anyone know if the iPhone is hspa+?

3 months is not a long time when you think about it. It takes 3 years and about 2.9 million dollars to put up one single tower.

I'm getting 1.5 in my hometown of Sacramento, but that's clearly not in 4g territory so I assumed its just 3g there (even though I have the h emblem). 3 is definitely than 1.5 but it still doesn't explain why my buddies iPhone is pulling more down when its apparently not capable of hspa+

I saw the the thread about editing the build prop yes. I just checked att coverage maps for 4g and Sacramento is now in the coverage zone. Should now be seeing hspa+ speeds here. I'll do a test when I get home but I'm willing bet my roommates iPhone will still pull faster speeds than me. I will also get on the phone with att and find out if i need a different plan. Will report back.

Comparing the iphone to the inspire is not really fair as the iphone doesnt use the same apn settings, and they also have a reserved amount of bandwith set aside for iphones only. Not to mention they seem to go faster due to alot of things being cached on Apples servers which the iphone connects to first so it seems like they can pull data faster but it is not what it seems.
Ah, I'm not the only one pulling down slower speeds than other devices. My GF's Infuse consistently pulls down 6-7 mbps while my Inspire, at the same time and location, will pull down 3-4. My build prop is edited, and I've tried other radios (and rils) with not much luck. Is this a device capability issue?
The only thing I haven't done is mess with APNs much. I feel as though it won't change anything, but eventually I'll try that as well.

I would try that, As it can have a great impact on your connection. I could set you up with the old apn settings and you would pull edge speeds. So it only goes to reason that the APN settings might have a large thing to do with it.

I'm going to look around at the speeds others are getting. I just can't seem to get more than 3-5 mbps. I know my area is capable of it because my GF's Infuse gets 5-8 mbps consistently, and at the same time I test mine. Weird.
I'll wait for compelling results before I change mine, because I've been modding heavily the last few days and I'm exactly not in the testing mood.

The day after I got my Inspire, I went to an A's game. The best I got on that trip was 1.5/0.35. A week later in Sac, in the parking lot of the Kaiser on Morse Avenue, I was able to pull 5.0/0.35. The best I got at home in Woodland was 3.0/0.35. I am now rooted, running ClearDroid, and get 4-5 down with upload better than 1. I'm still on my unlimited plan.

Anyone else live in this area and experience slow data? Fastest we've recorded was 1.5 mbps. Avg is 300-500 kpbs downstream. Tried to verify all APN settings with 4 different roms, these were correct. No change in speed.
Anyway to verify the radio is working correctly? I'm starting to wonder if it's hardware issue. (settings show hsdpa connection) I've tried stock radio, ota radio, and most recent the M2 radio. M2 has fixed gps problems, but still have slow data.

Using Mikes latest atm, I'm using the recommended radio for this ROM (the ROM contains the correct RIL files).
I live in the burbs as well, but the fastest I've gotten is about 3mb down / 1mb up.
Normal speed is around 1.5mb down / 1mb up.
Not as fast as others, not as fast as I expected, but still not terrible either. I've found the updated OTA radio the best. Maybe try flashing a different ROM and make sure your're using the correct RIL for the ROM your using. AOSP Roms use the G RIL I believe. Sense ROMS use the HM RILs.

Guess this is enough for confirmation, I've been going crazy trying to get 3G speeds...basically I'm getting edge 90% of the time.
After getting very poor speeds, I never got above 4.1, I stopped in my local AT&T shop.
Turns out that when I went from my Blackberry to the Infuse, they never put me on the 4G plan, only on the unlimited data plan.
I haven't been up to Nashville to test whether my Infuse is now connecting at AT&T's 4G, but I just wanted to let everyone know. That if you got grandfathered in, they may not have put you on the 4G unlimited plan.
4g umlimited plan is just what their calling their data plans for "4g" devices right now. There 4g network is just a spruced up 3g network and since we use 3g sims it doesnt matter what your plan is you should get faster speeds if they backhauled the network ware you live.

so you doubt there is a 4g data plan because you have had the same sim card for 3 years and get 3g data speeds???

Speed tests are not that great...
Well i have noticed that the two major speed test apps are not really that good testing. They are too all over the place, but i can tell my speeds are gaining every day a little bit. 4G is in my area, which i am not supposedly connecting to it fully because i have to wait a while, and I am on the uckd5 modem which seems to work best for me. What is the best speed test app?
I've thought about flashing the uckd5 modem just to see if going back makes a difference.

D5 isn't going to give you better speeds just by virtue of it being the stock modem that came with the phone...
E3 is supposed to be an improvement on D5... same with G3, but that's it's own special case, since it is the Rogers modem. and H1 is supposed to be an improvement over E3.
i have noticed that they are all very similar when it comes down to it. i get the same speeds with each of them, signal is the same within 10 dbm, and call reception is not different enough among them to notice.
too many variables at play (atmosphere, tower usage, time of day, etc.) to really make a fair determination that one of them is much better than the other.
but yeah, i guess my point is that you won't see better speeds just because you are switching to the modem that the infuse came with, and is "supposed" to be using.

not a coincidence at all. that's how it should be. if you are truly supposed to be getting 4g speeds in your area, you probably won't see those speeds on a GB based ROM until we no longer have to use Rogers GB as the base for those ROMS.
once the infuse gets the GB update, and the ROMS are based on that update, speeds should be what they are supposed to be.
but your issue is the ROM you are on - not the modem you are using.
My thought.
I am running infused v2.1 with the kd5 modem. I see that the longer i stick with one modem, speeds start increasing. This happens a lot faster with the original modem. Does any one else notice this?

I can only assume. One thing i will point out is the GPS is horrible. Phone will freeze and reboot when using GPS unless WiFi is on. Also the GPS lock takes longer than it should and it fails to track you. But i rarely use GPS so its a fair trade off for me.
The GPS thing was a short lived bug that has since been fixed again.

He attached a thumbnail to the post showing his high speeds connected to Wifi according to the logo.
Which actually means that the only thing that was true was that he was on Wifi when he took the screenshot, not when the results were ran.
Besides the telltale HSDPA as the network type, further details reveal his external IP of 166.205.x.x is owned by WDSPC (http://www.wdspc.org), or Wireless Data Service Provider Corporation, which leases their IP space to ATT, Verizon, US Cellular and other cell network providers. I think we can now agree he was on a cellular network at the time of the test, yes?
look at the times. the screenshot was taken atleast 9 and a half hours after the test. im sure he had plenty of time to turn on wifi since then before the screenshot. the results say hspa and thats convincing enough for me.
Sorry I use wifi at home. But if I was only getting 11 mbits down and one up I would have a big problem.

On-topic: do you think UCKJ2 will improve this?
I'm currently using MIUI 1.10.14. Ran infused v2 before, but like all the customization available on MIUI, and it seems faster. But I had been using the UCKJ1 modem and the speeds were alright.
I updated to UCKJ2 today, and the speeds were noticeably faster, but when I sent a text message more than 150 characters, I believe, it would say "failure" and not send. So I flashed back since I tend to send long text messages...
But the speeds definitely increased with the UCKJ2 modem
I am one of the people who have had a hard time getting good 4G service even though I'm in a. great 4G area. Today I noticed that if I reboot my phone in the area I wish to receive 4G service I get a super-fast 4G connection!
Now, that is great news but why can't my phone do this without a reboot? Does anyone know why this happens?
Have you tried simply turning airplane mode on/off rather than rebooting?
No, I didn't and thanks for the idea. But the phone should be able to do this on its own, right?
I have to toggle airplane mode when in a spotty 4g area. I hope a new radio will help with making a more seamless switch.

To be more specific (not sure if you know or are curious) a new radio hopefully will report greater signal for your respective area. New radios typically come with ota updates and users may notice greater data speeds and network signal.

I've been having the same issues within buildings. Definitely a cycle of airplane mode will help once you leave the building and/or have moved locations.

Had the same problem too. I went to another city without 4G and came back home and tried to watch some YouTube. Noticed right away that YouTube was buffering. Initially thought that maybe Verizon was throttling me. My speed was from 0.5 to 3 Mbps max. Restarted phone and did speed test; speed went back up to 10 Mbps. That made me happy again.

Do you guys think Verizon will implement an ota update with a new radio, but also something to lock the bootloader back up?
Well we have some people who have posted the radio updates on the forums here, and I don't think they touch the bootloader (not 100% though), so assuming Verizon does push an OTA for new radios tied with a re-locked bootloader, it'd only be a matter of time before XDA figures out how to install only the radio update.

I bought 3 SGIII's and noticed right away that mine was not getting as good of 4g as my two daughters. Long story short, after 2 weeks I got an new phone with the updated VRALG. Was better but not great. Verizon Reps stated it was a known problem with som SGIII's.
Now I am running Synergy ROM and 4G is alot less problematic, even better than both my daughters most of the time. If I do have a problem I will cycle Airplane mode and it fixes it. My 2 cents
I feel like there's something wrong with my phone. The signal is week and I'm getting abysmal speeds. Like .2mb per sec downloading something. I'm also in a highly populated area where 4g seems to be strong here
Has it been like that since you got it?

If its really that bad. Its a hassle but it'll work...
Dial *#*#4626#*#* or download the "Phone Info" app shortcut, and it'll take you to the same area.
There you can select your radios, Dont mess with anything besides the drop down box with the preferred networks. Set to LTE Only, (defualt is LTE/CDMA/Evdo) when you are in LTE only mode, you should get pretty blazing fast internet. But your SMS/calling outbound and inbound wont work while this is activated.
As for an actual fix... You just need expirament with the different radios... On my Old bionic phone, i remember it was getting really spotty 4g, more than usual. A clean wipe seemed to alleviate the issue. I can't explain why it would it just did...
