Sprint download speeds on the Evo? - EVO 4G General

What should I be expecting to see for download speeds on my Evo with Sprint. I just ran a speedtest app from the market and I'm getting higher upload speeds that download speeds.
I seem to average around 450 or so kbps. I topped out at 700 kbps. My signal seems to be full bars.
Upload speeds seem to be equal to or higher than my download speeds.

i've seen upwards of 6mbps

I got between 256kbps to 500kbps download speed 3G . Some time less than 256kbps. It suck, I think depend the area and how far is the towers

Usually get around 1Mbps, on average, around the house. Give or take a little fluctuation.
3G, usually don't have full bars but I'm not usually paying much mind to them either. So not sure.

Just ran it from my office. I have 5 out of 6 "bars" on 3G for what it's worth. This is in Baltimore and I am pinging the Philadelphia server.
Ping: 94 ms
Download: 919 kbps
Upload: 617 kbps
Wimax doesn't do as good a job with the whole "bars" thing but they're always an estimate at best anyway. It's showing 2 out of 3 at the moment.
Ping: 135 ms
Download: 3640 kbps
Upload: 992 kbps
Typically my downloads are around 600-1000kbps on EVDO and 3000-5000 on Wimax. Uploads vary more but Wimax usually tops out around 1000-1100kbps.

Wimax in Chicago
This is what i got. The fastest I've gotten was about 8mbps down (not shown here).

With -40 dbs (full signal) I've gotten 2310 kbps down and 721kbps up...

Forgot to mention I was on 3g. Dunno how to add the pic from my phone...

3G speeds increased with -B modification

Mine tops 1.2mps
EVIL PHONE

Can we focus on 3g speeds?
I'm pretty sure I'm picking up an Evo tomorrow and these posts have been very interesting to me. I will be in 3g territory 99.8% of the time I have this phone. My sprint rep guy told me that the towers in my town are sprint towers (no idea if that really means anything,) so I'm hoping for excellent 3g data coverage here.
If anyone have any 3g reports for Beaver Dam, Wisconsin (which i'm sure you dont) feel free to post!
And if any of this doesn't make any sense, I blame it on the Ambien Walrus that is distracting me here. See below for details.
Edit: Apparently I cannot post my fabulous picture. Anyways: 3G>Madison Area>How Good???

With 4G, 1 bar, 4-5 Mbps is the usual around here. I hate the **** quality of building penetration. I don't know if that will forever be a given, but GOT DAYUM, if I could just post my phone up by the window and rock the hotspot that'd be cool ... or if when I was laying on the couch (head / phone close to window) it'd somehow pick it up. Not a huge deal.
3G though, I should start taking more speedtests (which are known to be inaccurate anyways - but I try a few to get a "somewhat" average reading. or so I hope) just to see. I see speeds that FAR outweigh what I pull in. I don't get it. 3G is solid, never experience any shortages but some places just have MAX signal?

Is everyone just using the Speedtest app that comes with the phone to determine their speeds? I had read that it gave incorrect results. Mine are all over the place, but even if I use DSlReports or SpeakEasy, the results vary significantly.

This is with my laptop wirelessly connected to my phone.

I get around 500down,250 up here on 3g. In strong Wimax areas I get around 6M down (dont recall upload speed). They seem to be getting a new tower up around me now. As these things go,they are spotty at first,then they get them fully online. When I can get a signal in my house (by putting the phone in the back rooms window) I can get around 2M down and 400K up. Im actually typing this while tethered (I rooted today and installed wifi tether.) Its working pretty good.

what kind of 3g speeds are you guys getting.... i'm only averaging about 350-400 kbps here in hawaii on stock rom.
We're lucky where I live...mobile speed test says: 4325kb/s...not the worst ever...lolol...and I get about that when I speed test while tethered...

What speed test utility do you use when you're tethered? mobilespeedtest.com is known to give wildly inaccurate (sometimes even impossible) results..
Hello Everyone,
I find if I use Opera Browser for www.mobilespeedtest.com I get realistic results.
If I use IE browser, I get some very unrealistic results.
Also, Read My Thread Here, I think we are being throttled but T-Mobile's network limiting the RWIN.
Even run the TCP/IP Analyzer yourself.
Thank you,
Monnie
700-800kbps pretty much always (but i'm in the middle of nowhere so I'm not surprised)
230 kbps in dallas TX. Every time i call them they say there's a outage i sip code blah blah blah. When i tell them im no using those towers they say well its the entire city....And there script is "we don't guarantee high speed internet as long as your able to connect" On my Nexus one i got 500kbs all the time...I don't know what to say but lease sprint hurry with EVO
600-700 kpbs depending where I'm at
HA you guys are all lucky im in CT and get 200kbs and max of like 230 lmao! horrible!
I just ran it again

Connected to PC as modem, I get from 1000 to 4500, but this is a problem from TIM, I don't know why but they cannot limit my connection when connected to PC, normally it should be limited at 1Mbit for my plan.

Sam here in fairfield county, CT. Im getting 126kbps in opera mobile...even though I have an 'H' icon on the task bar! PIE gives me unrealistic results, which never translates into real world usage speeds. im gonna be so jealous when the Evo 4G drops for sprint. Ive always gotten upwards of 2 or 3MB in my area with sprint's 3G service. I love my HD2, but tmobile's crappy, unstable data speeds, kinda brings down the excitement a few notices.
Is anyone trying to use the hd2 w/ the flex pay internet plan?
I'm paying $10 a month for unlimited internet. It worked fine on my unlocked iphone 3gs.

Ok cool, thanks...I just thought you were saying you had used speedtest.net, and I just cringe whenever I hear anybody referring to test results from there. Sometimes they're spot on, but sometimes they're flat out rediculous, and the results are all over the place...enough so for me to not be willing to guess which ones can be believed and which can't

anyone else not getting above 150KBPS uploads on 3g?

this is freaking rediculous, its not my phone as my wifes epic does the same thing. no matter what, not over 150kbps. downloads can be 600K 1.1 meg, and never over 150kbps when testing with speedtest on uploads.
This is simple: upload is not as fast as download
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I've seen around 200kbps upload at highest on my epic.
Just did speedtest.net and it got 973kbps download and 146kbps upload.
3G performance has been terrible on the Epic. I have Epic, Evo and TP2 right next to each other. After three consecutive tests, the Epic's best score was 376 / 146, Evo = 1152 / 308, TP2 = 886 / 228. The Evo and TP2 scores were fairly consistant, the Epic was as low as 80 / 122 (yes 80kilobits). That said, while watching the tests run, it does seem as if there could be a cap on the Epic upload speed. Even if it bounced over 150, it would immediately crop back down.
thats what i'm saying, on the speedtest, I see my upload start at like 300-400 for a sec and then drops down. sprint says upload should be similar to download speed. clearly maybe its a sprint network issue? verizon doesn't have this issue.

On speedtest.net I just got 600 down and 143 up. Like others said, it would go a little higher than 150 on the up speed, but then bounce back down under 150.
lame, the speedtest app doesn't even have california as a testing spot.
Speedtest.net has a Los Angeles Server for both 3g and 4g. Also Sprint has 2 towers that should be going up soon in the los angeles area that will make speeds more consistant. I have been doing side-by-side tests with my old iphone 3gS and my new epic, and what i found was that in servers closer to the west coast sprint had far better up/down speeds however for servers farther east att had slightly better speeds also ATT had horrible ping.... sprint never had higher ping to any server than att . However this all goes out the window because in Downtown LA. im under a 4G umbrella and get 5.1 meg download and a 1.2 upload..... this is fater than what i can get at home using wifi.... suck that ATT!
yeah i'm getting around 600 down and about 150 up
I live in arkansas which isn't worth a poop for wireless networks compared to the bigger cities, but I get 1.61mbps down and .31mbps up
They are testing 4G in my area, so I have it here in Colorado. I get 3000 down and 1500 up on that.
On 3G I too am getting around 1000 down and around 175 up.
but it's more than enough for me.
sprint just called me back. had me run mobilespeedtest.com which of course doesn't have upload speeds. Guy was very nice so I'm gonna give him a break. Anyway, he confirmed that for my area, the upload speeds should be 350-500 and said the engineers will look at it and hopefully I'll hear back within 72hours.
i'm interested in seeing if this gets resolved.. Upstream bandwidth is not important to some, but for people like me it can make a huge difference.

i don't care if its not huge upload, but this is rediculous for the money we are paying.
my friends droid 2 did the same download side by side and the upload was like 50kbps less, while mine is like 350kbps less.
its been rumored that there was a 200kb "cap" on upload, download is just fine for myself but upload does have a part when i upload pics to fb or the like

well today I got like 172 on upload when doing 1100 download. so I'd say 200kbps is probably it under perfect conditions.
my friends droid2 is looking very good at the moment. I don't really need the upload speed, but its just how many hardware deficiencies can you deal with? I'm very leary to believe that all the problems are software.
Just did a test with 3 G and 4 G here in Haverhill MA..
3G was 1.6Mbps DL and 150 kbps up
4G was 6.1 Mbps DL and 1.63 Mbps up
I do feel like something is capping upload on the Epic. I didnt have this issue on my EVO. Here are my 3G speeds (I'm inside a building though):

Just wanted to reply that 3G upload data is definitely capped. 150kbits upload max. 4G does just fine. But my friend has an Evo 4G, we tested right next to each other.
our downloads were the same, his upload was 800 while mine was 150.
Yeah I know the .net site has LA servers but the app inside the android market for speedtest does not have anything on the west coast for me to test my speeds.

Okay, so is anyone getting HSPA+ speeds?

I've only seen 2 people out of the hundreds who already have their G2 get above 7Mb download speeds. Heck, most people don't even get above 4Mb download! I've seen so many people with 0.5Mb download speeds even when their in an HSPA+ supported area like NYC or Los Angeles.
I haven't gotten my G2 yet so I can't test it, but what I've seen so far has been pathetic. I've seen a youtube video where a G1 beats a G2 in a Speedtest and another where the Evo gets above 5Mb download but the G2 gets 0.5Mb download while in an HSPA+ area. Even the Droid 2 on 3G got higher than the G2.
This is T-Mobiles main selling point but only like 2% of people are actually getting these high speeds. WTF GIVES?
If you are getting these high speeds, are they consistent? Or do you always fluctuate from high-low speeds?
I'm getting a little skeptical now. I'm not worried about the internal memory but the loose hinge and slow download speeds would kill me. Again, this is T-Mobiles main selling point for the G2 but no one is getting these speeds. I can't imagine what people will say when more blog sites/reviews get there hands on this phone. T-Mobile would look silly claiming 4G speeds while my friends Evo gets 10Mb download on 4G.

I'm hoping Oct 5th or 6th the 7Mb is a thing of reality in all supported areas.
I get about 400 kbps down and 300 kbps up... SLOW.
I just got my G2 yesterday, i used the speedtest app and my download speed was a little under 6.1mbps with upload speed of about 0.7mbps. I live bout 20 min off of seattle
I'm on Long Island... according to their press release.. I should have H+ in my area.. but when I check speedtest.net I get 1 mb down and up

It's weird how 1 or 2 people get high speeds and everyone else gets like 0.5Mb download even in HSPA+ areas.
I tested it a couple times earlier today and they were both 6. something down...Up usually tends to be around .5 for me...I'm pretty happy with it overall

F*cking happy G2 owner here.
I'm getting 8.4mps or in real world since no one uses friggin bits in the US, 1.1~1.2 megabytes per second download and 122k upload, ppfft.
Download speeds are crazy though.
Guys, this is certainly not a fault on HTCs side. Blame your providers for not giving you the speeds that you want

It has nothing to do with that.
Just becausr your city HAS HSPA+ doesnt mean its availible at all 3G towers yet. That and if you didnt peak at 6mbps regularly on a fast 7.2 device you would NOT see an increase with the G2.
i dont kno about urs but my Vibrant rocks

Speed Test results

just downloaded the speedtest.net app and my "H" speed is really slow. With no wifi, I get download speed of 219kbps and upload of 473 kbps.
Anyone know why? is is with my signal with H and full bars.
What type of latency are you seeing?
I only ask this because at night around 10pm or so, I notice I get speedtest results like this but my latency reads around 275ms. It doesn't recover until about 7 am.
I am in the NW suburbs of Chicago.
An interesting note, other speed test sites do not seem to reflect this slowdown so I am inclined to think that my problem is related to the speedtest app and not the connection. IDK..
I am in Detroit and I get crappy speeds too. I found out that even though it says "H" in the mortification area, it still could be 3g or even the old edge for data.
I called tmo about this last week, and the response I got was HSPA is not official in your area yet. This could be the same for you as well. Let me know what you find out.
I'm not 100% sure if HSPA+ has hit my area yet (Phoenix), it's been a while since I last checked. I don't seem to be having any speed troubles like you have stated. My best score so far is 4162 down, 599 up. Consistency is my only problem. I average anywhere between 2000 and 4000 kbps depending on my area.
Depending on what app you use I guess and location. I'm in Houston and I use mobilespeedtest.com app.
I can get most of the time 23000-26000+ Kbps and on occasion 36000+ Kbps which is blazing fast I use the 7mb test.
"mobile signal widget" will tell you what you're actually connected to, E, 3g or H.

The mobilespeedtest.com app gives out wrong speeds. You can't get those kinds of speeds with this phone. Literally, it can't support that over UMTS. Speedtest.net APP will give you legit speeds.

Most of the time when i run speedtest i pulled a steady 4.5 mbps to 5mbps and some times when i just turn the phone on i can get 6.2 mbps down but w.e i do i always get a constant 1.25 to 1.3mbps up

Sorry no I did not add any extra zeros. Whether the app is correct or not I can't comment on that.
Out of curiosity what do others get with this same app? There is a obvious difference in that the mobilespeedtest app is in kbps vs the other test is in Mbps.
I also think the fact that the size of the file downloaded could have an impact on the results.
What is a mortification area??

Fourth test: .81 and .29
Fifth test: 1.35 Mbps down and .42 Mbps up.
All tests done from the same phone and location.
Located in Virginia and running ComRom v1.3
with 2 bars of signal i get around .6 mb, with three bars around 1.2mb, full signal between 1.5-2mb.
I've got a cell tower right next to my place of work (4 bars) and consistently get between 1400-1500kbps down and 500-700kbps up.
I always get between .6 and .7 mbps download and .4 mbps up.

Alright well it seems that my 3g is slower than most. Tested more phones outside of work and in my area seems it is network related since different phones are doing same speeds some rooted others not. at home speed is better and close to 5-6kbs? Still slow considering my wifi at home nets me an average 7mbps sometimes later at night I can see 9 strong mbps. I'm guessing a phone swap is the only support they know how to give?

I have gotten 2.2 mbps down on the EC01 modem before. Had the best results with that, although I would like to run more tests on ED01.

Try taking off the factory battery cover and see if your signal improves. My signal was like yours until I removed the stock cover. I pull 18mb down 4mb up on my wifi now, where before 7mb was the best it could do on a 25mb broadband connection right next to my router lol. I bought a new case and the signal is great...tried umpteen times now switching back and forth from the factory cover...the signal drops from -78db to -100db everytime. One guy said it didnt work on his fascinate, but maybe certain versions of the phone have the antenna mounted differently,, not really sure. my SF is v.11 running rooted stock 2.2.1 froyo.
EC01 radio, Evil Fascinate, and 1.3 OTB kernel would give me an average of 1.2-2.4 MBPS. The only time I get anything lower is at my girlfriends house(average around .7-.8 down). Anywhere else in Pittsburgh is 1.2 MBPS or better.
Seem to average 1900 kbps down 700 up. This is from various times of day in my apartment. And I had similar results with EC01 (sc 2.9.2). Denver, CO area.
Beautifully working (so far) CommRom 1.3/ED01
Nice, I usually get 3-4 average during the day, but this was at 2:34, and I love the speed. <3 (Running KB5 modem for Vibrant)

Here's my blazing fast 3G speeds from midtown NYC. Tested twice from an nyc server and one in NJ. I used kB/s for one and Mbps so people can compare, point, and laugh. These are my best speeds from about 5 attempts. this is why I usually have WiFi turned on when it's available.. I can hear the 56K Dial-Up modem sounds when I connect to web pages.

How do you guys handle such slow speeds on 3G? I get 3-5 mbps on T-Mobile with around 60-80 ping and it's a little slow haha. But Verizon has much more 3G coverage....
