T-Mobile turned up hspa+ today to 42mbps..have your speeds increased?? - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

Per engadget T-Mobile flipped on 42mbps in 55 markets today. Have you noticed any speed increases? I'm not sure if the gs4g is rated at 21 or 42mbps...
Edit : just looked it up and gs4g is only hspa+ 21mbps

sweet. I would think we should see some improved speeds even though its only a 21mbps device. In theory. Of course real world usage ive never got over 11mbps.
it would be nice to get up closer to 21mbps with the higher tier hspa+ being turned on

Just fliped over to new billing cycle. No notice in speed difference but I live out of the way of the city. Here r today's results from lake conroe ,tx

here in daly city (city next to san fran..) i got to 9mpbs last night at 3am i usually get 6mbps... i know its slow

I live just outside of Philly and my highest hit speed so far is just over 8 down and just over 1 up but the closest 42plus city to me is Pittsburgh and that's a good ways from me haven't noticed an increase yet though

Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App

my speeds kind of doubled. I'm in the east bay (Fremont, near San Jose) i only had 1 bar but managed a steady 3.4mbps down and 1.2mbps up. I usually get half of that with 1 bar of 4g reception. I did not test while I was out and about today, but Fremont was not one of the 55 cities.
i need to speedtest once i get back into the city (SF), but unfortunately in big cities the data demand is consistently high, so a boost may not be noticed, but I'm sure it'll increase data speed stability.
Looking good so far tho!

I'm not from LA, Just visiting. I'm getting 2 to 6Mbps here. I guess you could say that's not bad, but the answer to the OP question is I haven't noticed any increase in the last couple days. From what I have experienced, TMO is advertising "AMERICA's LARGEST 4G NETWORK" When actually its truly only a 3.5G network in selected markets neglecting the majority of the rest of the country and leaving us with an unreliable 2G network. At least some of the other providers can say they have a large portion of the country covered by at least 3G. TMO does have a good looking woman spouting their lies for them though.

thats a can that doesnt need to be opened. there is no "TRUE" 4G tech thats readily deployed right now.
I dont care what they call it. They can call its it worms for all i care lol. 4-10mbps is fast enough for any mobile application.
And last thing, all of these are theoretical speeds are in perfect conditions, no loads, etc. I dont think any of these supposed breakneck speeds VZ, ATT, Tmob, or Sprint advertises will actually happen in real world use. 42mbps? Yeah right TMob!! Ive never seen over 11mbps on TM or Sprint 4G.

Wow it's a Bay Area party in here! I live and work in Oakland but go to SF State and will check my MT4G speeds today when I leave the house.
Have been looking at buying a SGS4G because HTC's exchange lottery has me burned out, but don't want to pull the trigger until you guys have an AOSP rom to flash.

the speeds at state are random - as backed up by Tmo's own coverage map. you're much better off testing it at Stones Town.
If I were you, I would keep the MT4G. I regret exchanging mine for the SGS4G.

I am seeing about a 3-5mbps increase in tulsa. I average around 15 and before was around 12.

Funny thing is, started testing yesterday... They must have forgotten to do Chicago, even though it is listed. I'm right down town in the loop, at least my speeds are consistant... 1.09 down and 0.25 up. If anything, I am seeing a major speed de-crease. Hell, In naperville, IL, I have speed tests clocked from several months a go, 1 at 7.1 Mbps down and 3.4 Mbps up. Currently in naperville, tests range from 1 Mbps down all the way up to 7.3 Mbps down.
Chicago, no go. I sent tmo a tweet asking what the deal was and if they accidently included chicago in the list or if it is broken already... 24 hours later, they ignored the comment...probably because they know its true.
I love tmo...but seriously, whats with all they hype if theyre not gonna stand by it, everywhere mentioned in the press release.
-been w/ tmo for 7 or so years now, right after they changed over from voice stream. I dont plan on leaving, just wondering where our love is here in Chicago and surrounding areas.

Trust me, it's WAY better than Sprint's WiMax. I came from an Evo and I know that for sure.
Also just FYI, the overall signal quality in LA isn't as good as in San Diego, but not to the level where you will have problems.
I get about 16 down and 4 up. I live outside of Baltimore and seem to have 4g everywhere I travel. Washington DC coverage seems to be hit or miss though. The speeds of this device are incredible.

I've done speedtests all over L.A. and the slowest I've gotten is here at work in a brick building next to a hill with bad reception for all carriers, and I get about 8/1 here. Everywhere else I get much better speeds, sometimes 20+/10+.
Well I happen to work next to the Airport in Salt Lake City, Utah so I only get 4G coverage at work. I take that back, I think the coverage is there because I work next to one of Verizon's largest call centers. Regardless my speeds are lopsided.
I'm getting about 12.5MB/second Down and 26.5MB/second Up
Most of you guys have BS scores. You cant use speedtests app... even the 2.0 version is crap.

Verizon has 700mhz for the spectrum their LTE network is on. Sprint's WiMax is on 2500mhz, the highest of all for cell phone coverage, thus is absolutely sucks indoors worse than anything else. Sprint's 3G is on 1900 which is also sucky and worse than tmobile's 1700 for 3G which AT&T is looking to buy to put their LTE on. Verizon by far is going to have the best 4g coverage for a multitude of reasons.

The speedtest app has been working correctly for me for awhile now. I just pulled identical speeds using the speedtest app, speedtest.net, and speakeasy.net. The Speakeasy test is also powered by Ookla, the same people who make the speedtest app and the speedtest.net website, they're all the same.

Ha ha yeah. It is. So far the only speeds that match it is Fios (and docsis3.0 speeds). but they don't have that everywhere.

Cablemodem speeds. Road Runner btw

This is GREAT NEWS!! I live in Racine ...just south of Milwaukee wonder if this means we will have it soon?! I work in Zion ,Ill and have 4g there. Anyways ...thanks for the heads up!
Ohh wow. That upload is slower than my dsl.
I wish ISPs would start focusing on upload speeds too. With all this talk about cloud computing and certain ISPs providing like 50GB of online backup space, you'd think we can get a decent upload speed.

All of downtown, the third ward, and the airport have had it for at least the few weeks that I've had my TB. I dropped my wife off at the airport a couple weeks ago at around 5am. Pulled 28.8, 25, and 22 DL on separate tries. I picked her up in the afternoon the next day and got 10-15 DL. Very impresssed.

Speaking of LTE in Milwaukee...
Either a lot more are running on the LTE now in Milwaukee, or the radio's in our LTE phones are being capped. I've been noticing some pretty bad performance some days. Even with full strength, only pulling 2mbps down yet 13mbps up..
I sure hope 4G spreads all the way between Green Bay and Milwaukee someday - I am about halfway between the two cities and really wanting that extra G! Lol

I can sit in my house and only get 1-3 bars of 3G, and maybe 1.2mbps down at MAX.
However I can walk to either edge of my 8 acre property and pick up the LTE, and get 1-2 bars and pull 5-10mbps.

Slow LTE speeds?

Hey guys i'm using the HTC Thunderbolt and i'm have an issue. The first week I had it I was getting speeds from 20mbps all the way to 32mbps down...now im barely getting 5 up and 3 down. Any advice?

As more 4g devices are sold our connection will get slower and slower you can't really expect 20mb down can you? I mean Sprint network only gets 3 down on 4g ours won't get that slow but just a comparison.

Had that problem the other day. I was getting mid/low 2s. 5 isn't that bad. It's advertised speeds are 5-12.
EDIT: Just checking my speeds now, getting low 2s again.
that should be around what it should be once lte gets more and more used right?

I'm getting no issues on mine. Speeds are still the way they were. ~25down ~6-7up (in mbps)
of course that could change as more people jump in to the lte bandwagon.
In Cincinnati I was pulling 30ish down the first week, and now I am seeing consistant 11 everywhere, and in some places 15-20. Depends on where I am. Same signal strengh where I am at home and at work, but at work I do sit around 20 down, and at home 11ish.
Pretty happy with LTE over all, compaired to the WiMax I had that I couldn't even get in my house. lol.
23.09 Mbps down and 15.75 Mbps down here, it stays about the same all day, give or take 5 Mbps.
thats on CM7 though, im sure on stock it would be higher.
It's been the same for me and better too. At work my speed has been consistently ~17-20Mbps. The difference in the last week has been at my house, where I've gone from ~5-9Mpbps to ~15-20Mbps, rivaling my home FIOS connection. WOOT!
As long as VZW continue to expand their 4G network, it should be relatively easy for everyone to break 10Mbps
I haven't seen any noticeable difference here in the Metro-Detroit area. Last speedtest i ran was around 13-15 up and 4-5 down.
One thing to remember is that the speedtest.net app doesn't give consistent or accurate readings. If you go to speedtest.net from your phone's browser, you'll see much more accurate results.
Just ran a speedtest and got 30 down and 7 up. No difference at all for me. I'm in Baltimore, MD.

i dont live in philly but ive never tested above high 7's down/up. fastest has been 7.8ish down and the same up. normally it's between 5 and 6. i've been to and thru the city a lot since getting the TB @ launch, including testing with 4 bars on a boat under the Commodore Barry Bridge, elsewhere on the Delaware river, and a few miles up the Schuylkill with no obstructions and the fastest was still mid-7s. Also have done tests in Olde City, near the sports complex, and in centre city. nothing above 8.
across the river in NJ along the 295 corridor i get the same 4G speeds as philly. i've never tested faster than 8mbps down anywhere so far, which includes all of philly, northern DE near Wilmington, and the baltimore-DC corridor and greater DC.
running stock non-rooted with speedtest.net app. via wifi @ home i hit my advertised speeds of 16-20 down
maybe our 4G just sucks...didnt they even do initial LTE testing here? verizon is extremely present and active in phila. since it's basically a home city for them.

Actually I'd say your 4G rocks and is the best management of Verizon's network. They advertise 5-12Mbps down and 2-5Mbps up, and you are in the middle to low end of that guaranteed speed down and easily in the middle to top of the upload. That means Verizon is paying for the right amount of bandwidth to all of their towers in the area that you have been on, without overpaying to have way more than is needed like the people getting 16Mbps all the time. That 16Mbps means they have like 2x more bandwidth than needed, so they are paying the ISP's twice what they really need to and are thus making less money, from a business standpoint your region is the perfectly managed area. If your average speeds drop below 5Mbps be sure to call in and complain though.
Meh this LTE network is finckey. I probably should have specified that im in more of the suburbs in Radnor near Villanova

I'm in one of the cities and so far it's a touch slower. I get an ok signal here at work though so I'm going to test more around town. I usually average 6-7 Mbps with max 10 Mbps seen. That's pretty good so I don't really expect a huge change.
I thought you need a 42 Mbps capable phone to see the new speeds. I think currently only T-Mobile's Rocket 3.0 USB stick can go there.
but the sensation still supposed to be able to get 14 mbps down, so i would think it would still be faster than what i was seeing b4, just a thought
I personally think the speed increase is BS.
Well,i never seen anything above 3Mbps on my Sensation and i'm in NYC (Queens) ,so as they say talk is cheap
Doesn't really affect us I think. Our devices are only capable of 14.4 Mbps down.
My city will never get 4G

You gotta keep in mind those are theoretical speeds. LTE is supposed to be capable of reaching 100 Mbps down, but most people average around 15-20 Mbps down.
They advertise best possible connection. Like home internet, Comcast promises me 20's but im around 15's. I bet if you had a capable device and were standing on top of a wireless tower you would be able to get the bandwith their promising.
Its wireless, signal depends on distance, buildings, planes, birds...how fat your hands are.. Im close to rockford, IL and I didnt notice anything but no service for about 2 hrs last night. Speed is still same as before 8mbs down 1.8mbs up.

Our device will at best only handle 14 Mbps... And that occurs if your the only one using data service which is never the case.... Otherwise expect 8 mbps on average

I'm in Provo, UT and still seeing a little over a 5Mbps connection. No faster but I will keep testing over the next few days.
Guys, unless your area just received 4G, your not going to see any benefit to T-Mobile rolling out HSPA+ 42Mbps. The HTC Sensation is only capable of 14.4Mbps download speed max.
Although, T-Mobile did mistakenly say the Sensation would do 42Mbps...

I wish. 8Mbs is the max i've hit. On average my speeds aren't that much faster than they were with my Vibrant (non 4G). Average speeds are in the 2-3Mbs range. Definitely nothing to write home about.
I'm already aware of what you all are saying. I complain because I used to be able to hit 6mbps before, and now I never go above 4 in the same area; matter of fact, make that any area...
Edit: the above poster has my exact story..fastest speeds I had was the 6-7 mbps on the vibrant which wasn't even rated at 14.4 mbps, and that was a whole year ago

Enhanced backhaul, do i have it?

so i live in a college town. Davis, CA 15 min outside of sacramento. I have gone to the att store hear to ask whether or not the city's cell towers have the aforementioned enhanced backhaul that will allow my infuse to run at around 6mbps. Currently Im only getting up to 2.8mbps the most at any given time in specific areas of the city. Now this place is like literally 15 miles wide. I was told that att retail locations don't have the information on whether or not en-bckhl has been done here. Seems odd to me. But is there any way on earth that i can find that i can find that info out using an app of some sort or maybe a number i can call.
I am on infused 2.2.3 btw. Any help greatly appreciated. Sorry if this has been covered before and i missed it. I scrolled a lot of topics but got frusterated

The max I ever hit on Infuse was when I was on stock, and that was about consistently at 8 Mbps down, and peaked at about ~11-12 Mbps.
SkyRocket on the other hand, based on reports here, averages about 50Mbps down.
I know this doesn't answer your question directly, but I hope it helps.

These numbers just seem insanely ridiculous to me. I have never ever seen these numbers anywhere here in California either in los angeles or San fran, Sac, Davis---anywhere. Im very jealous of your area. Also how does the Skyrocket manage such unrealistic numbers?

The Skyrocket is an LTE phone. The Infuse is HSDPA+ so even though our Infuse has 4G in the title, the Skyrocket is the true 4G phone.
Well that makes more sense. Tbh i haven't really done much research on the skyrocket. But even so i just feel so fooled into believing the infuse would have decent network speeds.

Yeah it might be your area too. Here in Phoenix, I'll pull 6-9mbps down and around 1mbps up pretty consistently but there are areas where of town where the most I'll get is 3-4 down.

I too felt so until someone in one of the threads here posted me the screenshots showing skyrocket getting 50Mbps download speeds.
I won't dare to do a speed test on that, except maybe once per billing cycle. ~5 Mbps down takes about 20 MB per test. 50 would take about 200.
The speeds are theoretical, they're not representative of actual scenarios.

I believe all speeds are technically theoretical. However i seem to be in the extreme minority here on the forums and probably in the country too. I think that my city just doesn't have the backhaul. Which really really really sucks. Even the 3g service dips pretty low anywhere approaching outside the 20 mile radius. I have never seen true hsdpa or hspa + speeds on this phone which is really depressing. I've been in Davis for a year now and it isn't looking like theyre going to do anything about these speeds anytime soon. Unless Im totally wrong and its just the immense student traffic bogging down the network. But i highly doubt it. This is also really upsetting because of the fact that Att claims that all of northern California has enhanced backhaul >:[ not a happy camper.

Ive seen those speed in the korea town area of la. For the most part most of these roms have slower network speeds. infused roms gets me 6-11mb down. But these hellraiser roms are nice.
