So the TMOUS version of the One S has 850/1900 HSPA+ bands. Anybody here using it on AT&T's network? If so, what type of data speeds and pings are you getting? What APN are you using?
I'm currently running the $30/mo Tmo plan but am curious how well the One S works on AT&T.
it should work without any issue according to the review done by anandtech (http://www.anandtech.com/show/5868/htc-one-s-review-international-and-tmobile/7). You will only get 21 mbps hspa.
So I managed to get a post-paid AT&T sim into my One S and test it out. Results are not as good as T-Mo, but still pretty solid:

I used the APN settings found in the OP of the following post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1791526.
To any AT&T users experiencing sub-par data speeds, I *HIGHLY RECOMMEND* switching to the APN linked above.
Download tweakker app to set APN

You still get "4g" but it's only like 23mbps.

I just read over on android central that the desire HD launched on telus today here in Canada. It is most likely an inspire since telus uses ATT frequencies. This could be an option to those who want to avoid all the ATT bloatware

It's to prove that it wasn't faked, .13mb download while a 4G connection is active.
AT&T
1.13Mbps - Download
.61Mbps - Upload
439ms - Ping
I actually thought it would've been worse.
And...
2.80Mbps - Download
.44Mbps - Upload
444ms - Ping
just got this, this morning on sprint.
Hot desert springs, ca
I get horrible speeds now.
Still rocking the Incredible with the XDA Premium App.

Ok, not much of a surprise. It's going to be very hard to justify getting an iPhone 5 on Verizon if it doesn't have LTE.
I like how fast LTE is going over the country too, Sprint still has almost no 4g support here in Toledo.
I consistently test at downspeeds of 30Mb/s and upload speeds of 15Mb/s in my home town of Orange County, CA. Love LTE!!
wow, I was just happy to finally have 3g, and looking forward to 4g, but wow on the lte speeds
I'd love to know where that 37mbps download happened at.
Somewhere in the midwest or central US according to the site.
Still mind boggled how it is in Erie, PA and Rochester, NY but not Buffalo? In rochester it IS awesome though

No way that was real, sounded like one of those speedtests done on the Thunderbolt that had the issue with caching download/upload data from the speedtest and giving false reports.

Anyone experiencing extremely slow data speeds on LTE as well as 4G on AT&T in NYC? I used to pul down 20-30MB/s and now I am only getting at max 200KB/s for the past 3 days.
Could be throttled?

There's another post about NYC having lte issues

i've only used 1.5gb of data so far and never received a message regarding throttling. Weird. I'll give AT&T a call to see what's up.

It seems fine to me. My uploads could be a little faster.

Too much throttling, or not throttling the unlimited users enough.
That's cause there are two million children who think their phone is a TV.
Simpup, thanks for the link. That is exactly what is happening to me. Called AT&T and they claim i am not being throttled.
Any experience with the US version not sold by TMobile on TMobile?
4G signal strength? I cant find good info on bands for this specific model and use in my location.
Best Buy has this one for $499.99 cash/carry activate later and $449 activated in store.

Little late but you shouldn't have any problems using it on T-Mobile.

Been using this model on TMobile and Verizon withe the dual sim. Works great and on TMobile but the Verizon seams to stutter some times maybe it because it's a prepaid line.
But you should not have any issues
I went ahead and got it thinking I could take it back if it wasnt what I had hoped. Works good, 5G is insane in an area that has it.
