Skyrocket in Phoenix, AZ... - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Does anyone currently have the Skyrocket in the Phoenix area? I'm curious about data speeds compared to my Infuse without lte yet. I currently get an average of 3.5+ down and 2.5 +/- up.
Sent from my Mosaic 8 Infuse

I live in Tempe, and I'm buying both the Skyrocket and the Galaxy Tab 8.9 LTE tomorrow, so I'll run some speeds tests and let you know.
I used to have a GS2 (HSPA+), and the software limited only the browser being able to utilize full HSPA+. On that phone, in good signal areas, I saw 6-11Mbps down and 1-1.5Mbps up. I'm hoping the software on the Skyrocket is better! I can't wait until AT&T gives phoenix LTE!

Well, ive had it only for a day, but my speeds have been good. 3.2-4.7mbps down and 1.5mbps up. My house doesnt get the best signal. Will update Tuesday when I'm at the office, where i tend to get my best speeds.

My bad for not getting back to you yesterday. Busy Day. At work yesterday I saw 6-9Mbps down and 1.5Mbps up. Better than at home. Like in said I've seen as high as 11Mbps down on the GS2. Just depends on your area. Will be awesome when we get LTE!

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

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.

Post your 4g speeds and/or 4g experience.

Been heavily testing my 4g all over my city of Greensboro, NC for three days now. No signal issues, no drops, stays 4g everywhere except in my office building. All four carriers suck in my building. Even then... I still get 4g inside most of the time. My downloads blaze! Running simultaneous tests against my woman's G2... my Sensation is always a little faster.
Average bandwidth = 3 Mbs to 9 Mbs
If you experience slow latency (like the market is slow to load) go to this post for a neat fix. Mine loads everything faster now.
-edit-
Takes me about 10 seconds to fully load everything on the Engadget web site with plug ins on and desktop browser mode. This is using Dolphin HD browser. That's fast!
If you use the speedtest.net app click the results tab after the test for the true speeds. The main display seems to lie.
I'm in Baltimore, MD and so far I'm getting about 800 k up and down. About 10 times as fast as my Sprint 3g connection.

Could be a typo too ... or could just be really crappy network speed if it is indeed 800kbps.
No its really 800k. Today I hit around 1400k down 900 up. I'm happy tho. On Verizon I was getting 600 kbps if I was lucky. And I'd be lucky to top 100kbps these last few months I was on Sprint

Oh let it go already. Even the bodies that define the term have given into the marketing hype. "4G" is said to use a term everyone knows already. The few of us geeks who know otherwise understand just the same. I'm sure you do too.
Bottom line, it's got speed, that's what everyone wants. None of the carriers reach what the original definition of 4G was to be. The carriers call it 4G, so just use the term for the sake of agreement. What the carriers originally called "3G" was not really 3G, but let's not get caught up in a side bar when everyone knows what is being asked. Either the device reaches speeds the carrier calls their "4G" speeds or it does not.

2g reception
i have tried the quick fix to no avail. i am running on 2g speeds around my house. 1 mile over though i am getting 4g speeds.
question is, is this a tmobile tower related issue or a issue with the radio on the phone.
edit- i was getting at least 3g speeds on my old samsung behold in the same area.
New Orleans, La.
I live in Knoxville, TN. I am lucky to get 600 kbps around here. I have occasionally hit 6-9 Mbps, but only a handful of times, and not for more than a couple minutes. Not sure if it's a tower issue, or a radio issue. T-Mobile is looking into. My speeds were much faster when I had my Evo on Sprint

Don't get me wrong. That is the reason I said I am dumping my HTC Evo. I ran a test on tmo speeds on a g2x and I was blown away. So I figured, why the hell do I need to pay for premium data when 4G is not even available in my area since Sept. 2010.
So I decided that I will be getting this phone tomorrow when it releases at a retailer. But my argument still stands, it is HSPA+.
I got mine from Wal-Mart on the 9th.. unless u meant a tmobile retail store.

CT. If Vermont (or New Hampshire) gets it first we riot (maybe.)
I got to experience LTE speeds when I was in NY and ATL recently and I averaged over 30mbps. I'm sure this is to do with the networks not being taxed so much. I can't wait for the new iPhone to be released which will slow down those LTE speeds due to excessive bandwidth use, much like they did to their 3G network. Knowing my luck we will get the iPhone 5 before we get LTE here.

Best LTE speeds on your GSIII?

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.
