so i live in a college town. Davis, CA 15 min outside of sacramento. I have gone to the att store hear to ask whether or not the city's cell towers have the aforementioned enhanced backhaul that will allow my infuse to run at around 6mbps. Currently Im only getting up to 2.8mbps the most at any given time in specific areas of the city. Now this place is like literally 15 miles wide. I was told that att retail locations don't have the information on whether or not en-bckhl has been done here. Seems odd to me. But is there any way on earth that i can find that i can find that info out using an app of some sort or maybe a number i can call.
I am on infused 2.2.3 btw. Any help greatly appreciated. Sorry if this has been covered before and i missed it. I scrolled a lot of topics but got frusterated

The max I ever hit on Infuse was when I was on stock, and that was about consistently at 8 Mbps down, and peaked at about ~11-12 Mbps.
SkyRocket on the other hand, based on reports here, averages about 50Mbps down.
I know this doesn't answer your question directly, but I hope it helps.

These numbers just seem insanely ridiculous to me. I have never ever seen these numbers anywhere here in California either in los angeles or San fran, Sac, Davis---anywhere. Im very jealous of your area. Also how does the Skyrocket manage such unrealistic numbers?

The Skyrocket is an LTE phone. The Infuse is HSDPA+ so even though our Infuse has 4G in the title, the Skyrocket is the true 4G phone.
Well that makes more sense. Tbh i haven't really done much research on the skyrocket. But even so i just feel so fooled into believing the infuse would have decent network speeds.

Yeah it might be your area too. Here in Phoenix, I'll pull 6-9mbps down and around 1mbps up pretty consistently but there are areas where of town where the most I'll get is 3-4 down.

I too felt so until someone in one of the threads here posted me the screenshots showing skyrocket getting 50Mbps download speeds.
I won't dare to do a speed test on that, except maybe once per billing cycle. ~5 Mbps down takes about 20 MB per test. 50 would take about 200.
The speeds are theoretical, they're not representative of actual scenarios.
Sent from my SGH-I997 using Tapatalk
I believe all speeds are technically theoretical. However i seem to be in the extreme minority here on the forums and probably in the country too. I think that my city just doesn't have the backhaul. Which really really really sucks. Even the 3g service dips pretty low anywhere approaching outside the 20 mile radius. I have never seen true hsdpa or hspa + speeds on this phone which is really depressing. I've been in Davis for a year now and it isn't looking like theyre going to do anything about these speeds anytime soon. Unless Im totally wrong and its just the immense student traffic bogging down the network. But i highly doubt it. This is also really upsetting because of the fact that Att claims that all of northern California has enhanced backhaul >:[ not a happy camper.

Trust me, it's WAY better than Sprint's WiMax. I came from an Evo and I know that for sure.
Also just FYI, the overall signal quality in LA isn't as good as in San Diego, but not to the level where you will have problems.
I get about 16 down and 4 up. I live outside of Baltimore and seem to have 4g everywhere I travel. Washington DC coverage seems to be hit or miss though. The speeds of this device are incredible.

I've done speedtests all over L.A. and the slowest I've gotten is here at work in a brick building next to a hill with bad reception for all carriers, and I get about 8/1 here. Everywhere else I get much better speeds, sometimes 20+/10+.
Well I happen to work next to the Airport in Salt Lake City, Utah so I only get 4G coverage at work. I take that back, I think the coverage is there because I work next to one of Verizon's largest call centers. Regardless my speeds are lopsided.
I'm getting about 12.5MB/second Down and 26.5MB/second Up
Most of you guys have BS scores. You cant use speedtests app... even the 2.0 version is crap.

Verizon has 700mhz for the spectrum their LTE network is on. Sprint's WiMax is on 2500mhz, the highest of all for cell phone coverage, thus is absolutely sucks indoors worse than anything else. Sprint's 3G is on 1900 which is also sucky and worse than tmobile's 1700 for 3G which AT&T is looking to buy to put their LTE on. Verizon by far is going to have the best 4g coverage for a multitude of reasons.

The speedtest app has been working correctly for me for awhile now. I just pulled identical speeds using the speedtest app, speedtest.net, and speakeasy.net. The Speakeasy test is also powered by Ookla, the same people who make the speedtest app and the speedtest.net website, they're all the same.

As more 4g devices are sold our connection will get slower and slower you can't really expect 20mb down can you? I mean Sprint network only gets 3 down on 4g ours won't get that slow but just a comparison.

I'm getting no issues on mine. Speeds are still the way they were. ~25down ~6-7up (in mbps)
of course that could change as more people jump in to the lte bandwagon.
In Cincinnati I was pulling 30ish down the first week, and now I am seeing consistant 11 everywhere, and in some places 15-20. Depends on where I am. Same signal strengh where I am at home and at work, but at work I do sit around 20 down, and at home 11ish.
Pretty happy with LTE over all, compaired to the WiMax I had that I couldn't even get in my house. lol.
23.09 Mbps down and 15.75 Mbps down here, it stays about the same all day, give or take 5 Mbps.
thats on CM7 though, im sure on stock it would be higher.
It's been the same for me and better too. At work my speed has been consistently ~17-20Mbps. The difference in the last week has been at my house, where I've gone from ~5-9Mpbps to ~15-20Mbps, rivaling my home FIOS connection. WOOT!
As long as VZW continue to expand their 4G network, it should be relatively easy for everyone to break 10Mbps
I haven't seen any noticeable difference here in the Metro-Detroit area. Last speedtest i ran was around 13-15 up and 4-5 down.
One thing to remember is that the speedtest.net app doesn't give consistent or accurate readings. If you go to speedtest.net from your phone's browser, you'll see much more accurate results.
Just ran a speedtest and got 30 down and 7 up. No difference at all for me. I'm in Baltimore, MD.

i dont live in philly but ive never tested above high 7's down/up. fastest has been 7.8ish down and the same up. normally it's between 5 and 6. i've been to and thru the city a lot since getting the TB @ launch, including testing with 4 bars on a boat under the Commodore Barry Bridge, elsewhere on the Delaware river, and a few miles up the Schuylkill with no obstructions and the fastest was still mid-7s. Also have done tests in Olde City, near the sports complex, and in centre city. nothing above 8.
across the river in NJ along the 295 corridor i get the same 4G speeds as philly. i've never tested faster than 8mbps down anywhere so far, which includes all of philly, northern DE near Wilmington, and the baltimore-DC corridor and greater DC.
running stock non-rooted with speedtest.net app. via wifi @ home i hit my advertised speeds of 16-20 down
maybe our 4G just sucks...didnt they even do initial LTE testing here? verizon is extremely present and active in phila. since it's basically a home city for them.

Actually I'd say your 4G rocks and is the best management of Verizon's network. They advertise 5-12Mbps down and 2-5Mbps up, and you are in the middle to low end of that guaranteed speed down and easily in the middle to top of the upload. That means Verizon is paying for the right amount of bandwidth to all of their towers in the area that you have been on, without overpaying to have way more than is needed like the people getting 16Mbps all the time. That 16Mbps means they have like 2x more bandwidth than needed, so they are paying the ISP's twice what they really need to and are thus making less money, from a business standpoint your region is the perfectly managed area. If your average speeds drop below 5Mbps be sure to call in and complain though.

my speeds kind of doubled. I'm in the east bay (Fremont, near San Jose) i only had 1 bar but managed a steady 3.4mbps down and 1.2mbps up. I usually get half of that with 1 bar of 4g reception. I did not test while I was out and about today, but Fremont was not one of the 55 cities.
i need to speedtest once i get back into the city (SF), but unfortunately in big cities the data demand is consistently high, so a boost may not be noticed, but I'm sure it'll increase data speed stability.
Looking good so far tho!

I'm not from LA, Just visiting. I'm getting 2 to 6Mbps here. I guess you could say that's not bad, but the answer to the OP question is I haven't noticed any increase in the last couple days. From what I have experienced, TMO is advertising "AMERICA's LARGEST 4G NETWORK" When actually its truly only a 3.5G network in selected markets neglecting the majority of the rest of the country and leaving us with an unreliable 2G network. At least some of the other providers can say they have a large portion of the country covered by at least 3G. TMO does have a good looking woman spouting their lies for them though.

Funny thing is, started testing yesterday... They must have forgotten to do Chicago, even though it is listed. I'm right down town in the loop, at least my speeds are consistant... 1.09 down and 0.25 up. If anything, I am seeing a major speed de-crease.

Currently in naperville, tests range from 1 Mbps down all the way up to 7.3 Mbps down.
Chicago, no go. I sent tmo a tweet asking what the deal was and if they accidently included chicago in the list or if it is broken already... 24 hours later, they ignored the comment...probably because they know its true.

Oh, how the times have changed that we are complaining about 26mbps... lol jk
Chicago is a pretty big city so I assume there are others using AT&T LTE. I know where I live (in the middle of nowhere) I get 56mbps because there is literally no one else around me with an LTE capable phone on AT&T.
So it might just have to do with the amount of people using AT&T's network in Chicago. But anyway, yeah it would be good to see other people's speeds from that area.
I for one am dreading the LTE iPhone....
I'm from the suburbs just north of Chicago. Out here I get anywhere from 15-32 mbps (though at my house I only get around 6-8) and in the city I usually get around 10. Sure beats my iPhone on HSPA+ where I couldn't even check my email. AT&T's network sucks in the city. They have good coverage but their backhaul really needs an upgrade.
Your phone is fine, enjoy it.

As soon as that thing hits AT&T's network, our speeds will drop to 30% of what they are now, if we are lucky.

On the same boat...We'll be lucky to get 10 mb down here in DC once LTE iPhone is released in October.

I'm in Lake in the Hills, IL just NW of Chicago and I generally get around 24Mbps down, hense is why I moved to AT&T. Top speeds I got with Sprint on all my phones was 4Mbps on 4G near Schaumburg so this is a real treat

I don't think it will be that bad where I live, We don't have LTE here yet and I get 10 mb sometimes on HSPA +
Streeterville and I run at 22-24/8.

As soon as that thing hits AT&T's network, our speeds will drop to 30% of what they are now, if we are lucky.
My town is infested with iPhone owners so it isn't going to be fun for myself.

I feel like my one X may be defective. While in lte coverage with 4-5 bars I generally get around 10mb down and around 8 up (in the suburbs admittedly, but downtown it's similar). With full bars, the max I've recorded is 26 down. Can anyone else nearby Chicago post their speeds to make sure I'm not using a defective unit

Try some different APN settings. There are a few different ones around. lemme see if i can find one.. Here is an APN thread. You dont have to worry about messing anything up. the worse thing you can do is be stuck on Edge for the rest of your phones life.. (jk, lol no harm can be done) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1042553
I was there 2wks ago and LTE was between 10 and 25mbps both ways. I was mainly in the Irving Park area.

Change the server you are testing with, it isn't your phone that is slow, it is the server you are testing with and how much traffic is on the network when testing. Test at 2-4am on a weekday and your speed will probably nearly double. LTE is theoretically capable of 105mbps/down.

I'm from the suburbs just north of Chicago. Out here I get anywhere from 15-32 mbps (though at my house I only get around 6-8) and in the city I usually get around 10. Sure beats my iPhone on HSPA+ where I couldn't even check my email. AT&T's network sucks in the city. They have good coverage but their backhaul really needs an upgrade.
Your phone is fine, enjoy it.

This. This, all of this...except that I'm not from the suburbs. But I've experienced and agree with all points. If the iPhone goes to LTE I'm going to move to Canada.

Wonder if this guy moved to Canada lol?
Seriously, anyone here with an unlocked One X on Tmobile? Were you fortunate enough to be one of the lucky ones to grab 3G/4G speed on Tmobile's network with the One X?
I'm at a crossroad debating if I should trade my unlocked Atrix HD for the One X. Currently I'm getting 9-15MB down/3-7MB up speeds with the Atrix on Tmobile. Would hate to give up this speed & be trapped on Edge again

HA, still here, eating my words. Though the NHL lockout may drive me north to find some good hockey...
But seriously, since the iPhone dropped, i have seen a little decrease in speeds in teh area, though admittedly far less than I anticipated. I live in the city, around Wicker Park/Logan Square/Bucktown, which is hipster-effing-heaven. iPhones border on the official currency around here. Yet, still seeing nearly the same speeds in my area that I did before. In my home, i pull around 11up/11down. but around the neighborhood, I still see speeds range from 10 to over 25mbps up, and almost never below 10 down. I work in the loop, where I can get 15down on the street during a busy workday afternoon. and I even pull 5down on the 24th floor of my 1960's iron-and-concrete fortress office building.
These are all observations i've been making since the iphone 5 came. But when these range a lot. ATT does need to bump it's backhaul a bit. The difference between day and night speeds is, well, day and night. This is to be expected, but you'd like to see that gap close a bit.
As for your question regarding the Atrix HD to One X switch, i wish I could help more. I haven't been following where the One X has gone in terms of connectivity to T-Mo, but I'd be confident that you'd be happy with the HOX over the AtrixHD in terms of it's functionality. I'm sure the MetroPCS merger is going to substantially boost the usefulness of the HOX on TMo, but when that is in effect, I am unsure. Have you done any searches around these forums yet? I know there has been a lot of discussion about this in the past...
