insane download speed - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

is anyone in the 4g areas getting insane dowload speeds? I just ran ten tests at least and all were above 10mbps, the highest being 13.xxmbps. or is it mps? the weird thing is thst they all spiked in the beginning to rediculous numbers well over 100. then leveled out. does anyone know if tmonile has increased hspa+ yet?

1 week ago a handfull of cities were upgraded to support 42mbps down.
if you live in one of those cities you should see at least a 2x increase in your average download speeds.
That has been true for me.

I head they did. Check this thread

cool. finally. im guessing im in one of the handful. fayetteville, nc was one of the first cities to get hspa+.

4G speeds

I was wondering what everyone is getting on 4g speeds. Today I ran it once and got 3.3MB upload and 1.5 mb download.
It's going to vary by area.
My highest download has been 6181kbps and my upload 1599kbps.
I live in the middle of nowhere.
On my iPhone 3GS the highest i ever got was 3000 or so kbps and upload 380kbps. So the hardware is capable, just need the towers to be able to keep up.
I have a friend with the HTC 4G for ATT and he once got 11xxx kbps download.
dont use the peed tset apps. they have been very inconsistant for me latey. i test on speakeasy.com with the browser. i get 5-6mbps down but only 500k or so up. my area has hsdpa+ but not hsupa+ and for some reson it doesnt use the available hsupa when conneded to hsdpa+. i have hsupa enabld on my captivate and get up to 2mbps upload.
Weird. When I'm at home it won't go over 2.0 then I go across town and I got 8.9mbps at my local Walmart ... central valley CA

Sort of off topic but how do you get that little box showing your speedtest.net results in your signature?
My highest was 9.4mbps download and 1.8mbps upload.
I'm located in Portland, OR.

Infuse throughput speed experienced?

I am wondering what kind of throughput others are getting.
Today at an intersection in Jupiter, FL I noticed full signal and decided to try Speedtest through Miami server: 9400kbs down/1250 kbs up. Captivate usually around one-third of that....and yes wi-fi was off

well im happy. it's not quite "4g" yet because my area doesn't have the backend for it. but it is better than the <1mbps that verizon phones see. some places the market wont even work on verizon 3g because there speeds are in the 100kbps area. t-mo is cool but coverage is not great.
Bump.
I'd like to see what speeds others have experienced with their Infuse. I'm curious because my GF's Infuse (see thumbnail) consistently gets 6-7 mbps down and .7-1.2 up. While my Inspire's upload is more consistent, my download (in the same spot, at the same time, to the same server) is usually significantly lower than the Infuse. Impressive. I've seen as high as 9+ mbps as well, and it hasn't been odd to hit those speeds, as they've occurred numerous times.
Same here infuse dl is much higher thsn inspire when tested back to back not at the same time infuse avg was 11 mbs down while indpire was 4.5 down uplaod was the same

ive gotten 14mbit down, hasnt really fallen below 10. ive gotten a consistant 1.2mbit up no matter how good or bad the signal is or how speedy the connection is, it always gets the same thing.

Dual carrier hspa+ has arrived!

So I've been testing my speedtest app and I'm getting consistent 8-13 mbps up and 2-3mbps down. Looks like dc-hspa+ is a serious contender with category 1 4glte. The g2x is only category 14 getting those kind of speeds, its not optimized to even get close to the theoretical 42mbps. I can only imagine what kind of stupid speed we'll get once the Samsung Hercules is released! I must say today I'm very glad to have switched from Verizon's spotty 4glte and crazy slow 3g.
Your getting those speeds with your g2x? ?? How... highest I ever came close to was 4.39 ...

I'm pretty sure he means 8-12 down and 2-3 up... because I've gotten that too here in OKC. The G2X doesn't have 14mbps HSUPA. And if it truly is a category 14 device, then it should theoretically be capable of 21.1mbps down. HSPA+ is only a measure of the download of the phone. We're still using HSUPA to send data to the tower, and until we get more power efficient radio stacks, it's not going to get much faster than 2-3 mbps when you're lucky.
The most I've gotten is 8 consistent mbps in the AM. Drops down to about 4-5 in the afternoon. Uploads are never more than 1.4 which is weird to me. I'm in San Diego, CA.
I get from 3mbps to 8mbps down and never more than 2.8mbps up in orlando. But usually its between 4mb to 6mb down and .70mb to .90mb up...

My best composite score was done while driving home at 3:30am... I got 7.13mbps down and 2.76mbps up with a 46ms ping. Now I've gotten a little higher on the download before, but never that high on the upload with a good download.
EDIT: Looking through my results, I have a 11.8mbps down but it only had 0.71mbps up. :-\
The other day in Rochester I was getting 11mb/s consistently. Here in Buffalo I usually get around 3-6mb/s on good days

I've gotten 10+mb down and 2.5mb up here - Honolulu, Hawaii.
Just curious, by "dual-carrier" are you referring to the fact that 2 carriers now offer it? I guess I'm just confused as to what you mean by that term.

dc-hspa is when multiple carriers on the same spectrum combine they're resources to optimize data speeds and balance user loads on the network better. resulting in higher down and up speeds.

seeing as t-mobile is the only major us carrier that uses 2100mhz for 3g I doubt anyone is seeing dc-hspa.

Technically the sgs4g should get higher speeds since it has a 21mb/s capable radio instead of 14.4mb/s on the g2x
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Actually, Tmobile just upped their network to 42 mbps. That's why you're seeing higher speeds.
Dual Carrier (Dual Cell) has nothing to do with two cell companies (carriers) sharing resources.

The G2x and SGS4g share the same radio category 14 hspa+ which is capable of theorectical 21mbps download speeds.

What kind of network speeds are you getting?

Im seeing posts everywhere about problems with 4g, weak signals, etc. Im just curious to see what other people are getting for speed tests. I tried searching with no result so i dont know if this has been covered already.
I know theres alot to account for signal, how busy the network is, etc. But i just wanted a idea if im getting regular speeds.

Get around the same as you two, would take a shot but I literally live a block away from where it stops. How about on 3G too? I get terrible speeds compared to my last phones, under a MB for each. .97 d/l and .40 u/l.
People keep telling me those are "normal", sure maybe for them but not for me where I live.

Not going to post my current speed test, because I'm away for the weekend in the middle of no where and the closest server has massive lag... it showed me as having about a .03 mbps download last night. I know it's better than that.
My 3G speeds in the real world though have been pretty standard compared to my previous phones, however. If I remember when I get home Monday I might post a screen.

I read somewhere to remove the SIM card and battery and reinsert them. I did that and instantly noticed a difference. I'm still getting a weaker signal then I did with my rezound though. However, if there is a strong signal, the speeds are the same if not better.

Is moving to get a better download speed an acceptable reason to relocate?
Awesome speed!

Where on the Jersey side of the river are these speeds, I am on the water myself and only get 20-25 down
My rezound used to get max bars along with speed ..usually avg 18mbps but now in same location I get 3 bars and I can barely get 5-6 Mbps and the ping is 120ms+ consistently. Not sure what the problem is..

+1 other than getting faster speeds when I can actually achieve full bars.

Best LTE speeds on your GSIII?

I have had my GSIII for appox 3 weeks now. I had a galaxy nexus, and i was very impressed with the LTE speeds at about 32MBPS!
Well i have beat that speed, by a land slide. Post your speeds!

The best I ever got on my GS3 is in my sig. Usually about a little less than half that much on AVG.
Ive got about 40/20 before but usually its around 20/15 for me

47/21 for me,
avg is 30/10
The best I have in my SpeedTest history is 33/14.5.
What I'm most proud of is what I get at home. I'm in a really fringe area. Turn left or right out of my complex and go about a few hundred feet and you're in a dead zone. It's kinda hilly so my house must be in a sweet spot.
Anyway, with my Galaxy Nexus I would average about 4/1.5. I would occasionally see 5-6/2 but not often. And as soon as I even looked at my phone it would drop to 3g. With my GS3 my best speed at home with the phone in the same spot as GNex was 21/4! I average 15/5 there usually. Not too shabby considering I am way out in the boonies.
About 35/20 is the best I've seen, but I only really tested it when I first got a 4g phone.
35-40 in the good areas. 20-28 avg. 10-12 in some bad areas.
It's funny how we have been spoiled with the fast speeds. I feel let down when mine is below 20mbps. I would have killed for those speeds in the 3g days.
12/6 with full bars. Rarely is it better than 25/10. The LTE blows here. My buddys TMo S3 gets 25/15 constantly.
I got 64mbps down.

I average about 55/25 at home and 35/10 at work. To be fair if I had a decent slingshot I could nail my VZW tower from my backyard.
My best is 15 down. Average is like 4.. lol
just deleted my logs but...
My area just went 4g 3 weeks ago and outdoors I'm averaging around 30Mbps/16Mbps.
Indoors it's more like 13/4.
I'm happy but I'm sure Verizon is getting annoyed with my unlimited data usage in the SpeedTest app!!
