Are you being throttled?
Sent from my LG-P999

Of course your all being throttled im nyc area thats part of ploy to buy tmobile

it kind sucks going from nice fast 4g speeds to < 15 kbs
Is this something I can call support and ask them to stop throttling me? Or how does it work?

Slow 4G

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.

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.

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.

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.

yeah that is what I am getting now...even though when I first got it I was hitting around 5-6 mbps... not sure what happened
I am in a 4G area btw

How good is the HSPA+ 42 network?

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.

Anyone have bell sensation on at&t 10 dollar unlimited data?

Anyone?
Sent from my Sensation using xda premium

Reason I ask is because when I got my bell sensation at&t told me I could get the 10 dollar unlimited plan,but whennthey added it to my plan,my internet didn't work anymore. I had to add the 2gb 4g data plan back

Gonna give this its final bump. Google returned zip. Wont keep this in you guys'es face if I don't get an answer this time lol

If you are talking about the media net

I'm on the $15 unlimited plan since I have not added unlimited messing.

Also make sure you use the wap.cingular apn if you are having data issues. Attached is my apn setting for the media net plan.

Yes I get 3g, hspa+ speeds with no issues. In Seattle I get average download speeds arnd 2MBps since att network is not great where I stay. But I have hit around 5Mbps in Chicago airport while traveling.
If you want there is a thread in sgs2 forums about people's experience on media net plans and their speeds. For me I didn't see any speed difference between the media net plan and the att 4g plan speeds. So i'm happily using the one which costs less and get unlimited data in the process

I don't think they will...may be monitor and stay below 5 GB just to be safe .... I mostly use wifi at home and work so don't use that much data.

Just found this thread. It's helpful in my search.
FWIW, I USB tethered my Nokia 6700 Classic (which I didn't even know was capable of HSDPA until it launched). Signal used to be really good for it, but it started dropping like crazy. Thought it was the device, so I replaced it with another... same signal issues.
Anyway, I think I'm the reason why the signal is all crappy. In April, 2011, I did 800GB of data on my $20 Media Max unlimited data plan. AT&T never caught me. Until that month, I was doing between 10GB and 30GB each month.
Now, I'm looking for an affordable smartphone that is very much NON-AT&T so that I can continue to bend the rules and keep getting high speed internet.

Why is my data slow in a good coverage area?

It doesn't make any sense I see ppl who is in an area that has 1 bar of hspa+ and I get around 3 to a full bar but there download speed is usually 4 - 5 mbps when mine is under 1 mbps I saw threads how ppl using data tweaks in the build.prop well I tried it and it slowed it down even more any tips?

I know that lol but when I ran a speedtest I got 0.21 mbps I think 3g speed is faster then that lol

try move around when you using the data.
sometime .it's about how many people using base station in same time.
