Hey guys, what is the maximum signal you got from tmobile 4g..only got an average of 3.82mbps (download) and 0.74mbps (upload).
I did a speedtest at 5:04 am eastern time, 10.49 MBPS (download), 3.03 MBPS (upload) and 48ms (ping). 4G signal.

The highest I got down was 5.84mb and up was about 1.7mb and that was at like 3am. During peak times in Manhattan I get about 2-3mb sometimes even less like 1.7 or 1.8
I just got off the phone with tmobile. I realize why people are getting horrible 4g speeds. Well guys and gals. We have all been screwed. I was paying the same price now for 10gigs of high speed data.
What we are paying for is a simple 200mb of data. That is all. 200mb which u can use in a day. So now it will cost me the same price i pay for cable and internet to use my damn phone!

Maybe what you were paying for was for only 200mb but not all of us. I'm on the 5GB plan for $30 but I get a $10 discount so I pay $20 for unlimited (but throttled after 5gb of use)
Yeah i wasn't aware of that. It's all good now. I did the 2 gig. I went back the last 3 months and noticed i averaged around 1.5 gb so it's all good.
Interesting, I just did a side by side speed test between my g2x and my sensation. My g2x constantly got faster download speeds. I was getting between 3mbps and 6 mbps on the g2x, I was only getting 1.5mbps-3mbps on the sensation. upload speeds were about the same.

Thats the same as when i compared my Sensation to my GF's SGS4G. Sensation only does 14.4mbps (I think it is) and the SGS4G and G2x do 21mbps.

I'm on 5GB for $20 a month also.
My fastest so far has been 7.89Mbs and 1.7Mbs up. That's in southern LA County. When I move into North OC my speeds drop to 2Mbs and .8Mbs up, but when I get into Irvine my speeds jump back up to the 6Mbs range. It really depends on how strong your signal is, whether or not you're on HSPA+ towers and how many people are using it. When i'm at disneyland with my vibrant I have 4 bars and data creeps.

I too have noticed that my speeds have dropped since switching to the MR2 radio.
Switch back and find out.
Slow
My data speeds starting slowing on the stock ROM unrooted, it seemed almost right after the tiered data plans came out I would rarely get more then 10mb down at any given time. I rooted and ROM my phone hoping that my data speeds would go back to 20+ but it is still the same. I'm starting to think that VzW is capping the speeds now that they have gone tiered. If this keeps up I may switch to another carrier. TMo in my area avgs 7-8mb down and I won't have to worry about battery life.

You'd switch based on a couple of MB?
Do you realize that once you surpass 5GB on TMo they can throttle you....and you'd probably be in worse shape speed wise than you are now?
Don't get me wrong, I love the HTC Sensation...I've had one as a test for a month.
I too used to get 15 or more and in the last month or so I average 10 to 12.
I simply chalk that up to more people using the network...

Verizon would really have to tick me off for me to leave. I get a 25% discount on all plans and 20% on all hardware through my employer.
I routinly get about 20 mbps. In orbit on PC I get at least 2.0 megabytes per second. I have even hit 3.0 a few times

the problem is that t mobile is going to overages after you reach your limit starting aug 13 instead of throttling...

yeah, when you where the only one on the network back in march. Seriously doubt you get that now.
Used to get 12-15 down on clear wimax, then the evo 4g came out and I started getting 1-3. Went back to cable where, no matter when I use it, I always get 30 down and 5 up.
Looks like 3gb cap for 3g and 5gb for LTE

So, the big question is
Do we get seperate caps or is it 5GB if we have an LTE device?
I know there are times I am not on LTE(depending on the area) Does the HSPA+ count towards the LTE limit?
Now I never get close to 3GB but still would like to know.

Doesn't seem like it. It just says 4g lte smartphone, so if your not in a LTE area, but have a LTE phone you would have a 5gb cap

Bummer. I couldn't deal with the throttle any longer so I switched to a tiered plan last month.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
I think for an LTE imei registered smartphone it's 5gb. I can live with this, pretty much like the other carriers. If you don't have an lte, you're more likely going to get one in the future anyways. Now, let's see that data sharing policy in place ;-)

Finally, and I can live with 5gb. I just wonder now what the throttle speeds are. I wonder if att knew they where going to start getting sued LOL. Also I would like to think when we move to "5G" and such out data limits will increase. I think att knew they couldn't do this so they where super aggressive to make people drop their plans and only the diehards are left. Now that they reached a breaking point they are now being more fair. Yay for that Guy who sued them lol

When they say they will throttle us LTE users at 5GB, does that mean they are going back to the 2G edge speeds for the rest of the billing cycle, making our phones once again unusable, or is it going to be more of a Verizon type of throttling where it's only if it's during a certain peak-usage time on a congested tower, and even then it's down to 3G speeds?
If it's the latter, I am pleased. 5GB of LTE and then HSPA+ for anything over is fine by me. I must point out that non of the APN bypass things work for me at all anymore, so if after 5GB I'm on HSPA+, well, HSPA+ is still plenty fast for me.
If it's the former, however, then I'll still be just as disappointed. Actually pissed and outraged. Going from 2GB to 5GB to start throttling really is not much of an improvement to me, since if I wanted to, at these insane LTE speeds they are giving me in San Francisco (maxed out around 50Mbs down), I could download 5GB in about 15 minutes on LTE speeds. So hypothetically once my billing cycle reset, if after 15 minutes of heavy LTE usage I was then throttled to EDGE speeds for the rest of the month, I'll be pissed.
So yeah, anyone know? Are they still going to throttle at EDGE speeds for the remainder of the month regardless of peak times/congested towers/etc? If so, then this new 5GB LTE cap is still complete and utter bull****, just like 2GB was. But if it's NOT EDGE speeds, and not necessarily all the time until the next billing cycle, then it's welcomed.

It is based on you data plan regardless of you are getting LTE is the way I read it. You might travel to an LTE area. If you have a LTE data plan it will be 5GB.
Straight from the web site.
Looks like you will remain throttled for the remainder of the billing cycle.
I understand the throttle speeds are supposed to be more usable and not the 56k modem speed crap they've been doing.
If you have a smartphone that works on our 3G or 4G network and still have an unlimited data plan,
You'll receive a text message when your usage approaches 3GB in one billing cycle.
Each time you use 3GB or more in a billing cycle, your data speeds will be reduced for the rest of that billing cycle and then go back to normal.
The next time you exceed that usage level, your speeds will be reduced without another text message reminder.
If you have a 4G LTE smartphone and still have an unlimited data plan, the same process applies at 5GB of data usage, instead of 3GB.
You'll still be able to use as much data as you want. That won't change. Only your data throughput speed will change if you use 3GB or more in one billing cycle on a 3G or 4G smartphone or 5GB or more on a 4G LTE smartphone.

Well the fact that that iPhone user sued over not getting true unlimited and won probably influenced them a bit, not to mention I'm sure they were tired of getting reports from their CSRs of angry customers calling in to ***** about using 2.1 GB and being throttled and threatening to cancel unless they got some perk in response.
I also can live with 5GB. The only time I used excessive data was when I had to stream my SiriusXM all day at work. Now that I figured out how to get a signal with my regular radio I can safely stay below or around 2GB. The fact that I get up to 5GB because I have an LTE phone (although no LTE coverage, boo) and I'm paying $30 instead of $50 AND I just get slow speeds as opposed to $10 charge for going over has me satisfied.
im happy with 5GB.. its not "unlimited" but i think its manageable
the 2GB was BS which is why in my protest i was hitting 80GB a month but my avg is 3.5-4gb so im happy
no more protesting for me =)

So yeah my "unlimited" plan was slowed down because I exceeded the 2 GB limit on the plan I had. My question is, how much do they cut off in the "unlimited" plan when you reach your maximum 4G bandwidth?
I noticed that my speed is so sluggish that when I download something it goes by the kilo bytes, and I can't stand it!
Also it has nothing to do with the reception, I live in the tri-state area so obviously T-Mobile has full coverage of where I live.

its probably because you have the 2gb high speed unlimited plan and not the unlimited nationwide 4g plan (I have that and I love it!! No throttling at all!!
You should have truly unlimited data but only 2 gigs of 4g then they cap your bandwith to about 26k.
Im on simple mobile now but when on tmobile i managed to get 7 gb of data one month with a torrent app.
Never heard of a 4gig limit but ive been on simple for about a year. Maybe diff now.

With the new unlimited plan it shows a cap of 10,000 gigs a month.
If i reach that cap.....ill let you know whether or not i get throttled.
My old 2 yr contract was 4gig cap
Being capped sucks. I called and complained and said i can't even check my e-mail and i use my phone for business this is unacceptable im gonna leave yadda yadda and they gave me a "free" gig of data. I suggest you do the same

10,000 gigs. Assuming the month has 30 days:
Around 333 gigs per day
13 gigs per hour
.23 gigs (230 megabytes) per minute
3.85 megabytes per second
It's definitely doable if you have a really good phone and something to download 24/7 for a month.

OMG you lied to us and said it was 10,000 you are a untrusty person. Lying to us like that...ok enough sarcasim.
That is actually pretty awesome. Like fb said its possible to use that much if you are downloading 24/7 but that would be a lot of stuff. Not sure you could off-load it fast enough to a computer/stand alone hard-drive.
On topic many have said it you still have unlimited data only at a 2/G speed. /shrug
It might be 10,000 lol if you add what got used of it.

Speed test with my previous SII with 42Mbps+ capability, it only does 25Mbps+ max download, but practically it probably will probably download 20Mbps by average, so I doubt one can reach the limit even downloading 24/7. Would have to wait till next year when LTE is out for T-Mobile.

They love to do this. Did you call them and say unlimited is without threasholds
No not yet man but i will been having lots of issues with them

There was a new limit Sprint out on unlimited data plans. I think it was 26gb. I know its stupid.
I am happy so far over the last couple years I never got this warning or throttled. I have used up to 300 plus gigs a while on note 4. But since note 5 I have not rooted so I guess I have slowed on downloads. I now average around 70 to 130 gigs. Past 3 months. I think bigger cities are the ones that get this. Or heavy sprint areas. I think here where I live it's not too many that are on sprint. SO i love it. I get 27 down and 10.plus up.
Keep it mind it will only impact you on congested towers, while congested checked on 20ms intervals.
