And thats about 200 miles away. I dont think i have HSDPA+ in my area yet as on the t-mobile 4g coverage map says my city is "coming soon". Still not bad speed tho.

Wow those are great upload speeds!

My Wi-Fi at my house uploads slower than on the cell network.
Otherwise I'm getting +1900k upload speeds and those were all during 5pm rush hour.
I've heard rumors of testing 42mbps around here. With download/upload like this around rush hour I've got to think something special is going on.

Ive got12000kbs during peak hours in seattle but it averages about 10000kbs

i must be doing it wrong cause i get barely 4.5mbs down where im at and it says i get excellent 4g coverage according to TMO's map. Anybody from Houston getting similar speeds, specifically the northwest side of town (Tomball)? also, do you guys get 4g coverage consistently without the radio swapping to slower towers frequently?

hmmm...i tested the display one at a tmobile store against my vibrant and the gs4g only got around 2500kbps download speed max. My vibrant did a little better than that. like 2600 to 2800. I guess i shouldn't jump on the 4G train just yet. I'm located in miami btw. Plus i think the store is near a deadzone to top it off...ill check out another location. But 10000kbps is awesome! Thats what i'd expect from the GS4G.

Gloat while you can... my mytouch 4g was super fast til they CAPPED the area i live in.. went from a steady 7-10mbps to 3-5....

what am i doing wrong?? i tested it from a couple different websites, but i'm not even close to breaking 1 mb/s download. tmobile's website says i have excellent 4g service in my city, and i'm pickin up 4g on my phone as the little 4g icon at the top is there.
i average around .55 mb/s download and .55mb/s upload as well. is there anything i need to do or delete/download to maximize my speed? frustrating.....

Have you used a lot of data? You could be data capped.

Same issue for me. I'm getting 400-600kbps in the same spot I tested my Vibrant last week and was getting 2.5-3Mbs. I've called Tech support and they have no answers.
I went to the damn store I bought it at and I was getting the same speed right out their door. The most I've seen with this phone has been 6Mbps and that was downtown Orlando. If this keeps up I'm dumping the phone before my 14 day period.

How do i take screenshot or how do guys post the result pictures like that.

I’m having the same issue TheWord, I know this phone in theory is able to do 21+ MB of down and up. But the most I have gotten is about 4MB up and 3MB down… Are yall that are running crazy good speeds changing settings to make it run faster?

Holy cow, Inspire got thunderstruck.

How about that thunderbolt? Anybody thinking about switching?

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....

Speed
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.

When u compare h+ vs LTE ...atleast make sure u got the right settings on the phone before trying to troll the inspire.

I doubt AT&T LTE is this fast!

Yes, this does have to do with my Inspire, since I compared to it.
I stopped by a bunch of stores today to check out some LTE phones, their speeds, and the devices, to see how much they stand up to the hype.
On my stop at an AT&T LTE store, I came across the Samsung Galaxy SII Skyrocket. I did a speed test on the device, and came up with these crazy numbers!
I made absolutely sure wifi was off so that the numbers would not be skewed. Also, there was an LG Nitro HD right next to it, in which I ran the same speedtest, and only got about 2Mb/1Mb. Of course I repeated the test numerous times just to make sure, and each time they came out about the same. I whipped out my Inspire 4G, and got about 4Mb/2Mb.
What's going on here? The only thing I could guess was that they were provisioning all the local bandwidth to the Skyrocket in hopes of trying to sell it quicker.
What do you guys think?

Well, Let's see. The skyrocket has LTE, the Inspire does not, hence the speed difference. You do the math.

It's legit.

It think it's fairly obvious that LTE is going to have a huge speed difference, but not THIS huge. I went to a Verizon store today also, and it got nowhere near those speeds. Also, why didn't the HTC Vivid and LG Nitro HDs that were on display get even close to those speeds, even though they were running on 4G LTE?

I think the real meat of this story is the fact that the OP's inspire received better Speed Test results than the new LG Nitro did. I find that interesting.
I'm with the OP in wondering if maybe they're provisioning the bandwidth for certain phones in certain markets.

I believe it's all a conspiracy. I got decent speeds on my Inspire every now and then, but I just wish the speeds were more consistent. I have a Skyrocket now and the speeds can be exceptionally nice in certain areas.

According to the specs I looked up, on the HSPA+ networks, it should pull 21 mbps down. On LTE I can see that as possible.

Here is a link from the vivid forum for Los Angeles

If can't do at least that, I would consider it poor. I consistently average 5-6mbps on my Inspire with peaks of 8-9mbps at times.

I get about the same. When by millennium park i average about 30-40mbs for download.

All depends on location, my inspire rarely does better than 200ms ping, 1.5mb down, 800kb up
Current location is just west of Baltimore, MD.
At my previous job in VA, I was getting consistently better speeds.

Not trying to pass off a wifi result as a true cellular data result are you?

don't mean to be off topic(i apologize), i understand theese speeds are lightning freakn fast, but what is one to do with theese speeds, at the current rate anybody running on a 2gig plan can expect to run that out quickly, right? check in on threads about phones running lte, and there will be a thread called throttled (for unlimited data users), 22mbs is great but two weeks later some are running 100kbs, sounds tough. so what exactly is the point of the large bandwith? faster cpu, dual core n such i get, but speeds like that are meant for home entertainement/pc, gaming console/pc, work etc.

Can't see how renewing the connection to the cell tower can improve the signal

The only thing I can relate it to is resetting your router at home to try to fix a laggy connection?

Yea, but the mobile signal is limited by the distance to the various cell towers. Renewing the connection isn't going to boost the signal or magically make that distance any shorter, it'll simply refresh/renew it.
I smell serious bull**** with that app. Only thing I don't understand is the number of reviews.

I might try it out this weekend. I always have slow data on HSPA+. On my Rezound with LTE I could get between 10 to 15 average down at home (boondocks) and in the city would easy hit 25+ When I was in the mall one day I scored 45 down. Thats not joke!
I miss my LTE and I know that HSPA+ will never hit speeds like that I am still under-enthused with AT&T's speeds. I was really hoping to get the 10Megs but I am waffling at 1.5 to 3megs down
Also let it be known I am on the 1.85 Radios. I have heard a lot of good things about the 1.88 so I might give that a shot this weekend too. However, I do get a solid signal so I cant complain tooooo much!

That download speed is about what I average on AT&T's LTE network but my upload is usually at least double that. I've hit over 60Mbps down numerous times. I'm in the metro Atlanta area so I'm not sure if it's that good everywhere.
I had thought about trying this app out before because I used to lose LTE signal when I got by my house but with the newer radio I get 3 bars of LTE now. I also live about 50 miles north of Atlanta. Needless to say, I'm very impressed with the distance their LTE signal reaches to.

Good for all of you who are in LTE area.. Here in Jacksonville.. All we got are nice beach and beautiful girls in bikini... I'll rather have LTE speeds than those..
All I have here is crappy HSPa+ from At&t and bad signal reception. F*ck At&t

HSPA+ data speeds. WTF T-Mobile USA

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?

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
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app

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.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

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.
