[Q] what's wrong with this LTE tower? - General Questions and Answers

Hi guys,
There is one specific LTE tower near me that is giving this speed...

The DL speed on this specific LTE tower starts off around 10+ mbps but within a second it "throttles" down to the DL speed you see. The UL speed is always ~20 mbps, the normal AT&T LTE UL speed. All other LTE towers are fine for me, around 20-30 mbps download and upload speed.
I put in a ticket with AT&T, an engineer said I was too close to the tower, something about signal overshoot. They ignored my questions about why the upload speed was fine, or why the DL speed seems to be "capped" or "throttled".
I called AT&T again and they told me "tower is over capacity, in October there will be another tower built nearby to address the issue."
Anyone experience this with any other LTE towers? If the tower is "over capacity" does that mean AT&T is throttling the download speed to 1 mbps?

I am impressed, T-Mobile (RE: 3G speeds).

The fastest I ever saw on Sprint's 4G was 7Mbps! This is extremely impressive!
I live in Northern NJ and I regularly get 4.25-5.25 Mbps on my Nexus One. TMo has really good coverage around here... The fastest I have ever had was 5.60 Mbps. And that is without hspa+ . I can only imagine what I would get running a G2...

Found this on my old EVO's SD card backup folder. My fastest Sprint 3G test:
T-Mobile is very impressive indeed

I've hit these speeds a couple of times here in Chicago. HSPA+ is here to stay. Can't wait until they expand coverage.

[Q] H+ roms

Hey I was wondering if there are any roms that would give me the H+ for data.. I am using bell in Canada. Currently using android revolution and it just has the regular H .. any help would be great.. thanks in advanced
The limitation to HSPA without + is coming from the hardware not the ROM.
The Sensation is limited to 14 Mbps Downstream and 5.46 Mbps.
That is HSPA Category 10.
HSPA+ is specified from 28 to 84 Mbit/s downstream rate, that is not part of the Sensation's hardware.
Both technologies are falsely marketed as 4G in the US.
4th Generation Networks are not yet specified and the only candidate left for the 4G networks is LTE Advanced, not to be confused with LTE

LTE up in Phoenix

Just tonight at school I looked at my skyrocket and saw LTE for the first time! Lowest I saw was 13Mbps down on only 2 bars. I also have LTE at home and pulled 38Mbps down and 11Mbps up. And that was on 3 bars! Can't wait to see what I get around town tomorrow. Just thought I'd let you all know

How are your numbers as of late? Im in the Arcadia neighborhood and have not seen 20+ DL usually 8-16 down with 1.5 to 3 up
It changes drastically depending on your signal. But i've pulled over 40 on only 3 bars. Usually i'm around 20Mbps on 2 bars, 45Mbps+ on 4-5 bars. Been that way since it went live.

Slow Connections

I'm running speedtests and it seems both my WiFi and LTE caps at 10mbps. Normally its at 50-55mbps on other devices.
Already turned off WiFi optimization.
Here's my speed test from a few days ago.

Im at 3 bar signal. Bad antennae?
Changing the theme seems to help it..
What the heck?

No speed cap at all.

Do I just have a faulty WiFi receptor then?

Have you tried another WiFi network? It could be your router set up. What about other devices connected to the wifi?
If you use a custom kernel, try changing the TCP algorithm.

Question 5G speeds in the US

In case anyone is wondering, these are the speeds I just got on my Mi Fold 2 in Santa Monica, on T-Mobile

I"ve yet to get any connection on 5G around me since switching to T-mobile last week. not a huge deal since I very very rarely ever need data but it still bothers me a bit. there are 5g bands that Tmobile uses that wont' work with this phone from the charts I've seen and I think thats the problem in the Pittsburgh area
Yep: TMo has a patchwork of frequencies, and in some places it'll be great and in others it'll be literally non existent.
I live in the bay area, I rarely get 5g, but when I do it's crazy fast.
Do any of you have 5g aggregation on in developer mode? Do y'all experience any different with it on vs off?
Also, for TMobile are y'all on epc or fast apn?
In advance setting, do y'all have 5g smart switch on or off? Does that also help?
