I have more from different servers, the same servers, etc.. all the same: The ST Ericsson modem is much faster than the crappy ass 14.4Mbps Qualcomm modem and has better call performance to boot.

Being that one is capable of HSPA+ speeds of 21 Mbps and the other at 14.4 Mbps, it is no surprise that the 21 Mbps is faster.
What is the point of this thread?

Newer tech faster than older tech. Be sure and let us know when that trend comes to an end.
(By the way, your example isn't using the same servers. Closer is often faster.)

Wow.

If you say so. I mean, they weren't the first ones out the gate with a WiMax and an LTE phone in the US.

I've gotten up to 10mbps on my sensation before & I average about 7 during peak hours... maybe it's just the area?

Here in the UK we only have 3G at the moment, and even I manage 6 meg down and 2 meg up on my 3G version of the HTC sensation. Which is better than the test done on your 4G sensation done on a server 300 miles away? A closer server would most likely produce better results for you.
Cheers

First of all we have sorry ass tmobile so you will never see 14 mbps let alone 21 mbps.

Most peope here would be tickled to have 2Mb/s on ANY of their phones on TMOUS network. I get 1.5Mb/s where I live, but have been up to 8Mb/s in other cities.
Matt

First of all the point of this was to show that regardless of the nonsense people spew about 64QAM and that we are usually going to be on 16QAM so the difference between a 21Mbps and 14.4 capable phone will not be much different is totally false. This was done at roughly -87dBm on both phones give or take.
the rest of you can blow me, if you don't care to see the point go on about your business and enjoy being complacent with HTC and Qualcomm keeping us consistently behind the curve.

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.

i get about 7mbps occasionally. that's about the theoretical hspa speed so yeah i have the early stages of faux-g. i dont think they have the 21mbps backhaul yet just, the 14mbps backhaul. could be wrong but my att reps are saying that 4g isnt fully implimented.
I'm getting 10 mbps close to where i live. It drops down to 2-5 outside of town.

You probably mean 5.2 down and 1.3 up.
I'm in the Tampa, FL area. I'm getting 5+ down and 1-2 up pretty regularly in my area. I'm happy...it's beats the crap out of my old T-Mobile BS. More importantly, the coverage is WAY better.
Yes where do you all live? Where can I get these speeds?
Does anyone know if the icon in the task bar actually reflects what type of tower you are connected to? i.e. will it say "3G" if you are connected to a non-"enhanced backhaul" tower? Mine always shows the "H+" icon, and my speeds have ranged from 1.5Mbps to 8Mbps.
Well it shouldn't. Hspa+ should be available everywhere hspa was, and that's att's entire 3g network. So anywhere you got 3g you should get hspa+. That doesn't mean the tower can supply data speeds in the range of hspa+ 7mbit to 21mbit. The speed to the tower is being called "backhaul"
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
That's what I was asking - if the H+ indicated the tower was upgraded or if it just shows H+ always. I had hoped for the former but expected the latter.
the h+ is only the cell technology used between the phone and the tower, and all 3g towers are upgraded to use hspa+, but this doesnt indicate the towers connection to the network, so even if the tower can only supply 0.0000001mbit, itll still say h+. the only way to know what you can get from your area is to look at your actual speeds.
Just hit 11.47 down and 1.64 up out here in NYC. Pretty good if you ask me.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App
Thanks, that answers my question. I was just hoping for an easy way to know which areas were upgraded, since I assume that even with an upgraded tower it's possible to see speeds below 7Mbps and therefore it wouldn't be cut and dried. I've only seen 7+ speeds in one spot so far (at work), I see more in the 2 to 4Mbps range so I guess a lot of my area is not upgraded.
I am very envious. We are supposed to be getting it in the next month. Of course by then we won't have the free tethering anymore.

i am getting some truly amazing speeds right now. to get this on verizon, id have to have a phone twice as thick with a fraction of the battery life. im still convinced that att (atleast in houston) is the best network to be on.
if you look at the graph, it did blip over 14mbit before ending at 13.5
Nothing here in King of Prussia, PA (Philly suburb) to even match those speeds
Getting an abysmal 1300 kbps in download and a miserly 760 kbps in upload.
The best I've gotten is 6/2.
I'm disappointed in the "4G" to say the least.
Hopefully that changes.

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.

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.

3.8mbps to 20mbps or higher will get you alot more data in a shorter period of time. Of course, if your not using anything that requires speeds higher than 3.8mbps you shouldn't miss LTE anyway? Maybe you wouldn't use more data if you had higher speeds. I have LTE (part of the time) and have never gone over 1.5 Gigs in a month. But if your into streaming movies, tv, music, etc. you might find yourself eating up data a lot quicker...some do anyway.

I think by the time LTE hits our area from ATT I'll already have a new phone and will make new thread about not getting that new coverage with 100mbs speeds ;P
I can say from personal experience, having access to LTE at work and home, I went from using about 1-1.5 gb a month, to getting close to 5gb each month xD I find myself doing more and more on my phone as it is easy and faster than my home connection.

Youre not missing much... LTE is a huge pipe to the carrier but most of the time it does not affect real world browsing/downloading unless the site/download resides directly on the carriers network. Even then their upload is probably capped to ensure QOS for any other users
What is LTE??? Northwest Florida/ Lower Alabama.
Wouldn't you think AT&T would have more money and resources than Verizon and could update their equipment faster and better?

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.

See, I am thinking like you are! I agree with all your statments. Unless this app modifies TCP packet sizes and the like I cant see how it will boost performance....
But what intrigued me was the number of "5" ratings. Maybe it really does do something.
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!
Rezound at its best...

AT&T HTC One X (Obviously)
CleanROM 2.6 Standard Edition
Kernal: 3.0.8-01158
Build Number 1.85.502.3
Baseband version: 0.17.32.09.12 (Is this the radio?)
Sitting at the same spot with my phone inhand in midtown NYC I was on LTE with a network strength of:
RSP (dBm): -70
RSRQ(dB): -7
I ran speedtest without the app 5x on two different servers

Upload Average: 13.628
Ping Average: 49.6
New York
Download Average: 12.72 mbsp
Upload Average: 14.16

This app made be consistently get a better upload speed (not by much) and the download speeds were far more volatile IMO I didnt see enough to keep the app. But then again im a noob :/
Deleting the app now to get back to CleanROM 2.6 fun

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

See, I am thinking like you are! I agree with all your statments. Unless this app modifies TCP packet sizes and the like I cant see how it will boost performance....
But what intrigued me was the number of "5" ratings. Maybe it really does do something.
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!

I think you're really missing your Rezound lol. Don't worry I miss it too. Extremely underrated phone.
