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

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.
My town is infested with iPhone owners so it isn't going to be fun for myself.

Try some different APN settings. There are a few different ones around. lemme see if i can find one.. Here is an APN thread.

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.

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...

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.

thats a can that doesnt need to be opened. there is no "TRUE" 4G tech thats readily deployed right now.
I dont care what they call it. They can call its it worms for all i care lol. 4-10mbps is fast enough for any mobile application.
And last thing, all of these are theoretical speeds are in perfect conditions, no loads, etc. I dont think any of these supposed breakneck speeds VZ, ATT, Tmob, or Sprint advertises will actually happen in real world use. 42mbps? Yeah right TMob!! Ive never seen over 11mbps on TM or Sprint 4G.

the speeds at state are random - as backed up by Tmo's own coverage map. you're much better off testing it at Stones Town.

I am seeing about a 3-5mbps increase in tulsa. I average around 15 and before was around 12.
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. Hell, In naperville, IL, I have speed tests clocked from several months a go, 1 at 7.1 Mbps down and 3.4 Mbps up. 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.
I love tmo...but seriously, whats with all they hype if theyre not gonna stand by it, everywhere mentioned in the press release.
-been w/ tmo for 7 or so years now, right after they changed over from voice stream. I dont plan on leaving, just wondering where our love is here in Chicago and surrounding areas.

The cities included in this initial wave are Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Houston and San Antonio. Although users in those metro areas will still have very few LTE devices to choose from. Unlike Verizon, which has multiple LTE handsets, AT&T has no phones compatible with the new network. AT&T launched a data stick and a portable hotspot for the LTE network last month. The carrier has also started selling a massively overpriced Android tablet, the HTC Jetstream.
sweet im in San Antonio for a little while, now for AT&T to get some phones for me to use !!!
Now if they could hurry up and increase the HSPA+ speeds. I'm still only getting 3.5mb download and 1mb upload in downtown Dallas.... iPhone 3gs gets about the same download speed, although only half of the upload speed.
Come to the other side of the Metroplex. Downtown Fort Worth and I am getting 5-7mb down, 1.1-1.3 up. I can't wait for the Holiday with LTE. That will be SO sweet.

As mentioned, you would need a LTE phone first. But, being an hour away from Houston, I wouldn't run out and buy one when they become available. I live in the outskirt of Houston and HSPA+ is non existent at home. In Houston where I work, as posted, I am just now seeing the true benefit of HSPA+. Probably some bottlenecks from ongoing upgrades being freed up, maybe a little congestion as well.

Knowing how AT&T operates, I'd imagine they opened up more bandwidth to the land-based lines to the area first to make sure their LTE debut went well and you're just seeing some of that extra bandwidth.

I'm not as stupid as you. I know when I'm on wifi. Here is the proof.
Here are some from earlier today. The first two were indoors, a large metal building with offices above on the second floor. The first run was bad, only 2800kbps, but I did hit 4916kbps on the second. I then went outdoors and tested a lil slower than yesterday, but not by much, 6485-7767kbps. I know we can't put too much stock in the Speed Test app, but there is some consistency and I'm getting much higher runs than I had been. Also, it seems to be reading my wifi at home with some accuracy.

Show me where I made that statement. I stated that since the LTE launch, my data speeds have suddenly increased and I'm finally seeing true hspa+, and that is a fact. I provided a couple of possible reasons for this, as someone else cited a possibility as well. I know what you saw. You saw the hosted by Comcast in the screenshot. Lol. Anybody with half a brain would know that there would have been a wifi icon in the status bar if I was on wifi. Next time you open your mouth, try not to put your foot in it. Your little signature says it all. Just because you are in a crummy area, doesn't mean it is like that everywheres.
Check my screenshot of prior tests and tell me if you see any improvement compared to yesterday and today. LOL.

I'm good. I just don't appreciate someone implying I'm either stupid or I'm a liar. It certainly isn't inconceivable that while AT&T was building the LTE network here in Houston, they were improving the backhaul for hspa+. Whatever the source of the improvement, I'm thrilled to see true hspa+ speeds. It is something I never expected to see with my Inspire.

Now the real question. Do i really need it? Ive done the test....
20mbs, general browsing and using my phone is great
8mbs, general browsing and using my phone is great
Either way i am happy with the results. It seems most people are just interested in the bragging rights.
Nice speeds, One time when I was at Tampa Airport I got 29.9 Mbs Up. Weird that you were right next to a tower. Maybe its your location, or they have stronger signals near heavy populated areas.
ya i thought for sure it would have switched to hspa the gps sure worked great each tower has a address

Wow, awesome speeds! I have a Tmobile One S that's running a custom EU rom, I think the data bug is stopping it from reaching full 4g speeds because I usually get crap results when I run speedtests. But I'm on wifi 90% of the time anyway. The dev is finally going to get started on his Tmobile version of the rom, so wifi calling will be back! and hopefully great speeds as well
Also did you know that only one word is recognized by the captcha? For the other one, you can type in any random thing and it'll work! The computer generated one that is recognized usually has the black or white blob inside it.
I haven't rooted so I can't take a screenshot. I live in new York and I get 14-19 mbps on a regular basis. It's blazing fast. With their new lte network going online at the end of the year I wonder what speeds will I be getting then.

Try the same places on AT&T and see what you get. I've talked to people who claim they can't carry on a 5 minute conversation without it dropping the call on AT&T. So while T-Mobile may not be the fastest everywhere. It is generally quicker than the iPhone is in the same place which is what the commercial claims. AT&T's LTE is of course faster and so is some of their HSPA+ phones, but not the iPhone. I have been more than happy with T-Mobile in the time I have had them.

Never had a problem. Live in OC, frequently hit San Diego, sometimes LA, and a few times a year I do Vegas.

Coverage is 100x better then Sprint, and ATT data speeds are insane compared to Sprint's crappy data speeds lol

You can't go wrong with the HTC One X on ATT. Do it.
I jumped ship for the same reasons. Sprint was cheap but service/speeds in Hawaii suck.. So I bit the bullet and for about $20 more a month I get way better service/data speeds. All depends on your area I guess.

AT&T is known to have the WORST customer service out of all of the carriers...so...yeah....
Personally I would choose ANYTHING but AT&T....the only reason why I am sticking is because my family can't be bothered to move to a different carrier and I'd rather pay my portion of the family plan and deal with at&ts ****...
Just a heads up...
What trips me out about the bad rep that various carriers get regarding customer service is that regardless of which I've tried I've never had the same experience. I count myself lucky i guess (I've had sprint, Verizon, T Mobile and AT&T), as I typically set things up and forget it until upgrade time so my exposure to their customer service reps it's very limited.
That said I bought my one x just before a 10 day trip to Vegas with a 2 day stint in Williams AZ at the end of May. Couldn't have been happier with the service throughout my stay there. Service and speed was fine for me (stayed at the venetian but drove around North LV, Warm Springs and Henderson).

Never had a problem. I live in the OC as well. In the heights near the 60 freeway/beach blvd. Always have service, even LTE. Never once lost LTE coverage since i've had the HOX. Been to Hollywood, as far as San Diego, Huntington beach. The coverage really is great. I don't know why people talk so much crap on AT&T. My speeds are 12-20 Mbps consistently.
EDIT: the customer service at every store i've ever been to (roughly 5) as well as over the phone has always been great. I brought in my first HOX because the wifi broke from me flashing it. 10 days past my 30 day return. Took it no questions asked, replaced it free, not a refurb.

Thanks everyone for your input thus far......I really appreciate it
Oh yeah works fine for me in oc. No drop calls yet. Depending where you are and how congested the tower is for lte, and speeds vary. And reception for me is better than sprint in most areas, and plus better data speeds lol

There's a secret for AT&T's customer service. "The customer rules" yes, its a motto AT&T uses but seldom follows unless, you do these basic things.
1. Be calm don't raise your voice. AT&T in store reps and cust care reps notate the account. They do sometimes leave behavior attitude in them as well. Good account notations on serious situations where you should be pi**ed and you're calm go farther with the cust care.
2. When you call customer care, talk to them normally. Explain your situation confusing etc they'll normally listen and do their best. Some one who has an attitude doesn't get far with customer care. 9 out of 10 are pretty polite and happy. Especially if get the Texas girls they're such a delight. Some of the southern states people are too. If you get the bay area folk well good luck..
3. This is the most important one. It deals with in store. And to understand it you have to remember AT&T used to be for a time the only land line service in the USA. That mentality remains with AT&T. So, don't ever mention another service provider or switching to it-the reps and manager will literally give you peace sign. Oh, AT&T reps are mostly bored. If you're entertaining witty funny you can go a lot farther.
I have had AT&T since 2002 they were Cingular who remembers them? The customer service went up and got to be pretty good after AT&T started with the iPhone. They attempted to act like Apple stores. Kind of worked. But they def got better.
My post is long winded but its true. AT&T can be frustrating at times. If you call about an issue they sit there on the phone to trouble shoot. Have a reception problem they'll have techs check the tower and send an alpha tag to your SIM card (improves reception by prioritizing the cell tower to rate your imei first in line) the alpha last for a week tho. AT&T also has service centers in most major cities. They'll replace. Fix. Repair a phone under the warranty. I've been there twice in my life. It looks like a store but they fix it instead. Also on the phone with customer care and if you ask to speak with a floor supervisor that person normally will go above and beyond.

Replace Sprint with AT&T and ATT with Verizon and you'll have your answer
Idk if this has been confirmed, I searched a little and didn't see anything, I have an unlocked AT&T HTC One X on T-Mobile prepaid unlimited $70 plan and just started getting LTE today at home with it, speeds went up from a best of 14mbps on H+ to 22mbps the first time I ran it on LTE. This is going to be nice being that for some reason they never block my tethering so I use it as my home internet lol.
I can't believe the upload speeds, I used to never get more than 3mbps now its hitting 16mbps lol. Hooray for unlimited uncapped 4G LTE for $70 a month, and I've ran it up to 35 gigs one month so it really is uncapped.

Yeah, an area where T-Mobile changed their spectrum so that unlocked phones work on their 4g network. I don't live in a refarmed area and only get Edge speeds on my unlocked One X
Oh possibly, I live 20 miles from Minneapolis. That would explain why I get edge when I leave the cities but I don't care cuz that's like once a month.

Yeah, it's good to see that the unlocked One X gets T-Mobile's LTE
Lucky duck! Does anyone know if there's a website somewhere that's keeping track of this kind of data? You can't get it from T-Mobile themselves unfortunately. I'd consider leaving Straight Talk for T-Mobile if I knew I would have working data coverage in most of the places I go with LTE in my home town. I hate having to wait for wifi to do anything big. The One X in unsupported areas is so slow you couldn't google to save your life. At least with AT&T I get reasonable speeds everywhere I go except tiny little towns.

Following up on your experience with TMO and One X
I was really glad to see your post about the One X getting LTE service on T-Mobile. I just switched to T-Mobile from AT&T with quite a few phones in my family (cut my bill almost in half!) To make a long story short I popped the T-Mobile SIM in my iPhone 5 and connected straight to the LTE network. Needless to say I was surprised because T-Mobile does not make any mention of having LTE in the Sacramento, CA area, but two reps did confirm that my LTE service was here to stay. Unfortunately my iPhone 5 and a Galaxy SIII and Note II (all originally purchased for AT&T and then unlocked for T-Mobile) seem to revert to the EDGE network and then get permanently stuck there after about ten minutes of LTE. Have you noticed that happening with your One X? I've always been a big fan of the One X and I would love to have one, but I'm not sure if it supports the HSPA+ 42 network and or how well it keeps a lock on the LTE networks for T-Mobile. I'd love to hear how you like it after having a few weeks to try it out.
Thanks and sorry it's a bit off-topic, just wanna see how the One X holds up on T-Mobile's network!

I just sold my galaxy s2 (t989) because not only was it slower than my htc amaze, I just couldnt stand touchwiz. I cant understand why anyone would want to own a samsung galaxy smartphone, easier to brick, no access to hboot, nice screen, hardily any widgets, lags when switching apps, I dunno, I just realized I made a mistake trading my amaze for an s2, and I almost got a one s, but my dad has one, and I figured he would always be cool with trading me whatever I bought, so I took a $250 risk with an Att one x unlocked. I had no idea that it even had lte! Not to mention that I didnt think tmobile had lte cranked up in my city (Jax,Fl). Im very much stoked with a really nice phone that downloaded venomxl rom in less than five minutes.
I live north of Atlanta and switched to T-Mobile several months ago. They rolled our LTE this summer and so far the speeds have been great. I regularly get 25-35 mbps down and 15-20 mbps up. I only get HSPA while in my apartment, but am still able to achieve speeds in the high singles to mid-teens. Coverage here is decent although I have noticed several dead spots, most noticeably along GA400 north of town which is a major highway. Kind of unforgivable but I am hoping the spectrum purchased in the MetroPCS acquisition will better coverage since they had a big presence here as well. All in all, I am happy with the service and glad I switched from AT&T.
I get good speeds when I'm outside.
I'm on an good signal area yet I have basically unusable data inside.
I actually just wrote T-Mo a letter requesting an ETF Waiver because of the bad service.
I almost got fired because of missing a text...
