Is anyone in an area where t-mobile upgraded their network to HSPA+ 42? I live in such an area but am on Sprint but I'm considering switching to t-mobile.
Sprint's 4G here is a lot slower in most places than the theoretical maximums.
Considering most phones on the market can only do 7.2 or 14.4Mbps the so-called 42Mbps is marketing hyperbole. The G2X max speed is 21Mbps and you are never going to get top speed on any device due to OS overhead, etc.

Pretty sure the T-Mobile rocket USB modem does the 42. But in my findings you are lucky to ever get half of a theoritical speed and that's on any cell network.

double
well if it is doubled shouldnt are speeds double even on g2x
You don't even need 42mbps... Around 5-6mbps is great for streaming video!
I live in Dallas Texas we suppost to have the 42mbps
but my g2x sometimes when it wants to get 5mbps in downtown dallas where i live
and only one day i got 14mbps
and i called tmobile about my horrible speed they said i havent reached 2gb of data so they assume it has something to do with the tower i was using. ok so i go all around DFW
and i get same speed 2 or 3mbps
so i think is not the tower.
somebody told me that sometimes taking off the battery and wait 5 minutes straight the phone will reset and get rid of all data of towers and start again so i did that to see if my speed was any better and i had no luck so but hey with that horrible speed i can still stream and downloads roms very fast from my phone !!
I get 6-8mbps on "4g" and i'm not really in that big of a city (Virginia beach, VA)

The 42mbs is for the new phones, like the Samsung Hercules or the amaze. Lol they all have different hardware capabilities.

Lol... I know this! My comment was relevant to this being on the g2x which is a 21mbps capable phone and that even if you have a 42mbps device you will prob never see speed that high...
But thanks... Lol

Lol your probably right if you want speeds that high, then you'll probably have to be right next to the tower.

Hello everyone, I was wondering what are your speed on your 4G speed.
I just got my phone today and I love the phone but the speed on 4g is horrible.
Iam getting an average of 40-60kbs.
I use to own an hd2 running around and was getting 3-5mg.
sorry for the poor english.
Well I get great 3g that's labled 4g.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
If you're getting HSPA+ you should be getting 4G speeds, that's why they can sell it as 4G. Also their are other factors that affect data speeds. If you're getting an HSPA signal you will see a 3G icon
Well my area is not on tmo 4g map and my vibrant got only moderate 3g.
But this phone gets better reception than my vibe. So which knows
But it always says 4g.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
They vary. Notice the ping.
I'm usuall around 8 mbs in Baltimore and 4 mbs 10 miles north of Baltimore where I live. My ping is a lot better than my Vibrant. I am usually getting a ping less than 50. My upload is anywhere between 1 mbs and 4 mbs.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
mine is always shows 4g, and never yet got over 200kbs, and my g2 is getting average 2-3mg.
Ill bring it back for exchange,hope that solve the problem.
My typical speeds range from 3 to 10 mbps down on actual 4g, .5 to 2 mbps down on 2g. Near philadelphia. Full hspa+ tower .86 miles north of my work.

Don't know where you got that, but Seattle has LTE, and it extends to just south of hwy 16 in Tacoma. Not sure where the north end of the LTE ends at though.
Sent from Thor's hammer on a bolt of lightning using hackers keyboard.
I did not make it to CDA but according to the map on Verizon it should have LTE coverage. I'm not sure if it is up or not but just a heads up.
im still on mr1 radio, maybe thew new radio will help. Ill give it a little while. I have faith!

Wow that's good news! I was about to attend UC Riverside but decided not to (Going to Cal Poly Pomona which is literally on the border for LTE coverage). Now I will be able to get 4G when I visit friends there!
Don't have it in the Temecula area

Wow, you guys are getting some awesome speeds. I have only managed to get 19mb down when I visited New Orleans a week or two ago on lte. 4g I get around 7 or 8 down
The fastest I got was 44Mbps down in Vegas. Otherwise in LA, I usually get around 15Mbps.
It's in the sig.

Was just getting ready to reply to the OP. I can confirm 62mbps down in good ole houston tx. Pretty badass.
Simlar speeds in Baltimore
LTE speeds around Baltimore, MD have been pretty similar since I got the skyrocket back in November. Tests over the past few months have been in between 50-60Mbps down, 12-15Mbps up. I'd post a picture but it's telling I can't until I post 8 times since I'm a new member. I get better LTE reception around the edges of the city and it drops to HSPA+ sometimes in the center of the city.
44 down. 23 up just outside of Boston.
