3g data speed sux.

Is anyone else experiencing slow 3g speeds? Iam talking about speeds like 15-70kbps down. Ever since two weeks ago the data speed here in Wisconsin is so slow its retarded. Just wondering if this is happening elsewhere.
Yes I've tried different roms, kernnel, and phones. Pri,prl,radios are all up to dated also.

yes I tried. They hung up on me once and I got disconnected a few times after that. So I went in to the sprint store and ask, they said that their 4g is down and everyone on 4g is pushed over to the 3g network so that's why its slows. But it sounded like BS, cause Theres no 4g hete in Wisconsin

I been having 3G issues all day too here in Delaware, but strangely 4G has been working flawless for me
EVO on Tapatalk

I'm by the Michigan Ohio border, and I have had this problem for over 2 months now. At home and where I work, I'm less than a block from a tower at both locations, and used to get about 2000kbps down and 1500kbps up consistantly. About 2 months ago, it got horrible. On average, I get around 40kbps down and 10kpbs up. Sometimes it doesnt work at all. This happens anywhere I go. But, once in a while I would get normal speeds, usually only early in the morning, then the rest of the day/night it would be bad again.
After spending hours on the phone with sprint, refreshing the network, and doing 2 factory resets, they decided it was a hardware problem. I took the phone in, they agreed, and gave me a brand new evo. For a few days, it worked better, not as good as it was, but better at least. Then a few days later it got worse again.
I have since done 3 factory resets, had engineers from sprint come out, and they say everythings fine. Whats weird, the other day I was at a friends house, who only gets verizon signal at his house. While roaming on the verizon towers, I got normal speeds again, around 1800kbps down. So obviously there isnt a problem with the phone again, as the 3g seems to work fine there. I have been calling sprint every few days, and they have no clue whats going on, they say nobody else in the area has called in about this.
I'm giving this another month, and then I'm permanently leaving sprint. Data is the main thing I use my phone for, and I cant load webpages or stream pandora.
Sorry for the long rant haha but I thought I would let you know I'm having the same problem.

socal here
me and my gf's epic are having HORRIBLE 3g speeds..100-200 kbps...I used to have ~800..its been like that for around 2 weeks now...last saturday i went to la puente california and speeds out there were ok..~600kbps...but where i live and where I work..3g speeds are pure crap...

No problems here in Sacramento, getting 100-140KBps d/l, 100KBps u/l.

Ok for the past 7 days me been getting slow speeds like rev o my ups wont go over 150kb and down wont go higher then 1mps no more use to get like 2.4mps stable then i heard from sprint engeniers that there gonna realease ev do rev b and wimax wave 2 on new years or on jan 6 when dan heeae anccounce it and that y 3g been caps atm

Sent from my MB860 using XDA App

Seems, even by what is stated in the Orlando Sentinel article, that the network was put into place just to "fill gaps" in the coverage as it was pretty pathetic before. I was just there on April 1st, and I wasn't seeing any difference there than I do at my house over closer to downtown. However, it is nice that they decided to build it out to support the capability...when our phones can actually use it is another story altogether.
I've got an Atrix and I get around 3Mbs down and around 300k up both at home and at the airport.
From what I've read, it seems that a phone update will be required to turn it on anyway...but if ATT can be believed, we might get to see it this month sometime.

That unfortunately doesn't exist. We can only hope to get it soon. I had one of the att reps back in december tell me that my signal had gone from good to absolute crap because orlando was a test market for 4G so one can only hope that a simple flip of the imaginary switch will give us 4G aka 3G+

I don't know about you, but is anyone else a little surprised by how many Central Floridians there are posting in this thread? That means.... using an Atrix and knowing a thing or two about making it better! Pretty cool, I guess none of you "feel safe enough" or "like Orlando" enough to list your location on the profile to display with each post though! haha

I have orlando listed in my info, have since day one of joining this sight.....
And in regards to a 4G coverage map they dont realy exist.... I work for AT&T and do customer service in the call center by UCF and there is no info in regards to when the update will be released for the Atrix/Inspire .... Or what the coverage looks like
All I know when I check are network coverage tool and look at the towers in the downtown orlando area none of time are listed as HSPA..... They are all still reporting UMTS only, and there is no info about the backhaul or updates to the towers that I have checked...

Sitting in MCO as I post this. Have worked here for the last 4 years and will say that they have made vast improvements on the tower infrastructure here. Used to be that you would get no reception out at the 1-60 gates end of the airport. That's all fixed. Of course still getting the typical 3mbs down .3 up here so will see when ATT lets the update go. I sure it is a simple update that won't require me to go though what I did with the last. Not that the last was hard, just a pain....

4G where it shouldnt be...

So I work for sprint, in a corporate full service store in Albuquerque, NM. I have been having customers come in to my store for the last few months telling me they have been getting 4G. I normally just nod my head, tell them "thats cool" and send them on their way. Our city took a long time to get 3G, so the thought that we are getting 4G (when it hasnt even been announced in any new markets in quite a while) is ridiculous.
A week ago, to experiment, I turned 4G on at my house to see what would happen. "4G connected" popped up in my toolbar. A signal strength-o-meter notified me I had 2 bars of 4G service. I still remained skeptical, quite certain Ashton Kutcher was going to pop out and notify me I was punk'd. I downloaded speedtest, and lo and behold, I am clocking 5+mbps in my house. Needless to say, I am very pleasantly shocked. No where is there any documentation that my city should have 4G.... But, I got it.
Lesson of the story: Fire up that 4G radio every once in a while, you never know what might show up!

According to Clear's coverage map, downtown Detroit has 4G. I was able to connect to it once, but never again after that.

That happened to me last year here in Boston, MA. I had good 4G server but one day it just vannished. After several months they restablished connection and now its even faster than before.
I've worked in the past rolling out GSM antennas an I know how th radio department thinks; its a tough job to make sure the right desicion is taken in every city and every location within, patience is the key.

There's this one very specific spot in my shop (warren, mi) that I get 4g. Might be one bar but got it there. Move the phone from the little spot and ill drop the signal. Can't get it outside of the shop or anything. Just that one spot. Very weird lol.
Posted from my pedo van.

Don't just look at sprint's coverage map, also look at Clear's, they even have an app for android called "Got Clear?" that helps you find 4G pockets. As for 4G in maricopa valley... still absolutely nothing except for PARTS of mesa and PARTS of Scottsdale... its messed up.

You are lucky to be in coverae of a spectrum protection site. Check out clear.com or sensorly.com maps.

Oh yeah, almost forgot... according to Clear's coverage map, there is 4G about 3 miles east of my house. I've never been able to connect to 4G in that area though. Wonder what's up with that... hopefully when LTE rolls out, Detroit/Metro Detroit doesn't get screwed over again

IT's a conspiracy to get more people to text and drive and die texting so they can control population and then control our minds by limiting our range of service.

What? First off iPhone has no 4G and they pay the premium data charge too. You don't like it go pay $50 for the 5GB cap on AT&T. Second off Wimax will be around until at least 2015 with the current Clear unlimited use contract Sprint has. They may negotiate a usage contract after that if there are still enough Imax users out there. Sprint is putting all there efforts into expanding their 3G and 4GLTE.
If you have no 4G today op it is most likely a tower down for repair or upgrade.

It was being wonky in Baltimore,Maryland yesterday. On a somewhat related note, how far is the range of a WiMAX tower? When I get WiMAX on the highway, I'm assuming through highway towers, 4G jumps in and out to the point where it's better to turn it off and let the retarded phone jump from 3G to 1x over and over because 4G drops to 3G at least every minute and can't be guaranteed to come back. I wouldn't really mind if they killed WiMAX towers. I don't get it at home and from what I can tell it's complete **** for people who can get it. I went to NYC for a weekend expecting the city to be blanketed in nice 4G goodness. Speeds were about 1.5x 3G and coverage was horrid.

Dude! That's slow compared to my experience with Verizon LTE. My city is fortunate to have steady cell signal but otherwise it's a small hick town that carriers don't care about. My VZW friend get 30 to 40 Mbps down on LTE. Closest WiMAX is an hour and a half away.
And... Why the hell would Sprint sign a contract with a technology that makes out at 1/4 of the technology Verizon was working on? Or is it that the bastards cap us?

So back to Wimax being shut down...
Sprint will have wimax working for the life of your phone. Even if they and Clear both switch to LTE, and even if they have to extend their contract with Clear to do it.
Just look at how long they kept iden functioning, long after they stopped selling the phones. Wimax will be very much the same.

I have got pretty decent 4G speeds in Baltimore, but not so much in DC.
Still, it has never been a real concern for me, as I use WiFi at the 2 places I go most, and 3G has actually been rather stable for me in both DC and Baltimore.
Like so many have said... its all... location, location, location...

You are correct, DC. I travel extensively for my job, and I see major differences in each city. And, the Epic being such a complex unit, it probably varies phone-to-phone. I'm gling to Cleveland today and tomorrow, and I have historically always had the fastest and best 4G connections in Cle. Likewise, in New York, I sputter and strain on 4G. Home in Orlando, its 5 minutes on, 5 minutes off.
If they are just turning off the lights on iDEN now, I'll bet we see WiMax for several more years. Think of all those OG Evo's they sold on opening day in June 2010.....
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

Ha, it's funny you mention it, but I noticed a stronger 4G connection in Tampa yesterday. I was in the same spot I always am when using 4G and I was getting a faster speed. I even when inside, where I normally don't get 4G and got a lock.

Still 4g where I live pretty close to Baltimore. Waiting for LTE here to upgrade.

Yes, because Sprint looked into the future to see what technology their competitors would eventually use, and made sure to pick a slower one... it definitely didn't have anything to do with the fact that wimax was deployed months before lte, or the forward-flowing direction of time
But on a serious note, back when Sprint chose which tech to invest in, early reports indicated that wimax had better buildng penetration (relative to the power input). What good is a fast data connection that you have to go outside to use it? Sprint went with the best option for their budget, so they could provide a 4G connection without losing their competitive pricing (or their profit - it likely would have been one or the other, with the same long-term result)

I've been a long time lurker but this last statement makes me want to come out of the darkness and say:
PICS OR IT DIDNT HAPPEN

The most I've got in London is 5mb down, 2mb up on T-Mobile. In North London anyway, not sure about central or any where else.

I agree that speed has increased lately, but best I could get are these

I get 12Mbs at work on 3 in the UK (Nottingham) normally between 5 and 6Mbs from home

I believe you. I've achieved similar speeds here in Scotland on occasion. It's definitely just good old H+ however.
I'm on 3 as well. It's not always fast, but I do seem to be maintaining a high speed signal for longer these days.

Yee of little faith who have doubted Gandalph the old!
I attach a screenshot. I also don't think this is 4g LTE but rather a good working HSPA+ running below 21mb. I am located in central London.
Nevertheless this is a very impressive speed and raises the question who wants for 4G LTE that few tests have shown reaches over 20 MB???

Edit!

These are my speeds at home im from kent in uk

4G at the moment in the UK is nothing more then a empty bottle. No UK phone is capable of having the 4G. All UK phones and tablets run on 3G. EE will be releasing lte phones in the new year.
The main reason EE have released 4G early is to claw in extra contracts. The biggest problem EE have is there coverage. The coverage is weak and inconsistent for 3G let alone the 4G.
Anyone who is serious about 4G should wait until at least a year.

I'm not joking no UK phone currently runs 4G. Anyone who tells you differently they just don't know how 4G works. If you've got a GS3 or iPhone 5 in the last 6 months on contract with EE they will let you upgrade to the lte verson for £90.00 when they release them next year.
4G coverage will be poor for at least a year if not more for most places. City's and very large towns will have coverage in the next year but the coverage will be dependant on operator.

You are mistaken my friend.
iPhone 5 is LTE. Works on EE 4G
As do the other LTE phones available in the UK now.

4G here in Australia reaches 45-50mbps down, now that's real 4g . When I am tethering it is faster then my home WiFi it's crazy !
I have heard some companies around the world b.s. and are really only on fast 3g because speeds don't even reach 20mbps on their so called 4g
