HSDPA Speeds (Dallas, TX)

I'm running CM's 5.2.
I've been testing upload/download speeds in the Arlington area. And WOW! I'm averaging 4400 download, 1100 upload!
Anyone else care to share?

What are you using to test speeds?

the speedtest.net app.
could it be exagerated?

Wow.. I doubt it, that's supposed to be fairly accurate. To compare, using that same app, I typically get around 600kbps.

I'm using CM 5.0.2 + latest radio rom.
3G appears to be more stable.
Speed is much faster than usual. I got 2500-4000kbps from several tests last night. I'm in Chicago.
I'm tethering it with my laptop and it's faster & more stable than Sprint 4G/Overdrive.

ran this morning, right up the road from the Texas Rangers' Ballpark.

I'm in Fort Worth and I don't see anything close to the speed mentioned in the OP.
One thing that kinda makes sense though, considering that the OP mentioned the speeds posted was in Arlington, is perhaps Tmobile bumped up their network in Arlington as a way to show their networks capabilities to Tmobile users that were in town for the NBA All Stars. After all if I remember correctly, Tmobile is a sponsor and it would be a shame if Tmobile users can't get any decent data coverage in the stadium.

Ran tests all over Dallas, and Richardson. I always get around .6-.9Mb/s down and about .2-.5Mb/s up. This was done with the ookla app. The one from xtreme labs gave me even 2-3Mb/s, but it seems buggy, since i never got that speed...
Went to Houston this winter, and got about 2Mb/s in the airport, which was at least double of the speed i am getting in Dallas area... T-Mo 3G is kinda ****ty in Dallas.

what are your speeds?

ok, so like many of you i've had the phone since the 15th and unlike some of you, i like it. lol it's actually my 1st android smartphone. i think it's decently fast, and according to the specs, it's supposed to be. i was just curious what people's speeds were.
i live in chicago and am gettin on average .65 mbps download and .55 mbps upload. are these good numbers? now when i'm on my wireless i've gotten 9.58 mbps download and 3.00 mbps upload. which is obviously way better but just on tmo's 3g, are those good??? i cant wait for HSPA numbers here in chicago but it's not here yet. :/ anyways, what kinda numbers are you guys gettin? thanks...

I get close to 3mb dl and 1.5ul when I'm at work at the port of l.a. and around .45 dl and .75 ul when I'm at home in long beach, ca. on my wireless I get around 14.9mb dl and 3.5mb ul on verizon fios.
Sent from Samsung Vibrant using XDA App

I average about 1mb downloads and .6 uploads. Most ive seen was about 1.4 mb

2.2 Mb Down 1.2Mb Up in New York City.

It's in my sig.

so are my 3g speeds ok? lol i mean i dont really notice it bein that slow like some others complain but bein my 1st andriod phone, i'm not really sure what kinda speeds i'm supposed to get. i'm assuming regardless of you being on tmo, the 3g speeds still vary from city to city or region to region rite?

They're not HSPA+ but they are normal for the regular 3G network.

Considering I was getting about 800-900 Kbps on the G1, I think this is pretty darn good.

i get about 2-3/mb down, 0.5-1/mb up on average over 3g in minneapolis, i have peaked at about 6mb down, i dont see that too often though

UMTS. What I find odd is that my phone will say I'm connected to HSPDA but then after a moment it kicks over to UMTS..but overall, I get good speeds.

2.14d/.44u from in my apartment where my 3g signal seems to be finicky sometimes.

Heres mine.... 4.5 MB/s down and 1.3 MB/s up
http://www.speedtest.net/android/7712264.png

I get about x3 MB download and.5 mb upload

ok, mine is in my sig, but these are not average results. Its really weird that I can sometimes get up to 6mb down and almost 2mbs up but only at the rear entrance of the building I work in. My average is about 600k to 900k all over northern Georgia.
I thought that 600k was really slow thats because I was using a G1, with the Vibrant 600k is plenty fast for what I use it for.

UMTS is 384Kbps. It's safe to say that you're not really on UMTS 3G

Oh sh*t!!

I woke up this morning and looked at my phone and it was doing a PRL update on its own. Im thinkin.. ok this is strange. So when it updated my phone rebooted. I'm thinking WTF is Sprint up to. Well, when it got done I ran a speedtest. Odd thing is, my PRL still shows 60676 in the about phone, but check out my 3G data speed now.

I havent seen speeds like this here since like October. I wonder did they add a new tower by me or something??

YOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ummm you sure your not using an airave?

I dont have an air rave.

Here's a speedtest done tethered through my laptop. I'm not sure WTF happened overnight but damn.

Now the question is, is it going to stay consistent like this. But im pretty amazed so far I have to admit.

I was running CM7 and saw this thread so I decided to check it out, about 0.6Mb up and down. Flashed into Sense (Fresh 3.5) and now I'm getting about 1.2 down and still about 0.6 up.

Well it was short lived... im back to 300 kb/s down

Yeah, I'm running Destroyer with 60677 and just got 51k down and 61k up. Sometimes I can get 1.8 - 2 down, but almost never on AOSP.

I got better speeds, got 1mb on 3g, never got that before, but it was Sunday night when I tested.
Sent from my Misfit Speedy Evo using the XDA app

no problems here. updated radios/pri on the 3rd and have been getting slightly better service where i live. I also noticed that i could pick up 4g in an area where i was unable before.
i'm running decks and mikG (going back and forth)

4g seems a little more flaky here at work with the new radio Getting 1 bar to no bars where I used to have a fairly solid 2 bars.

Works for.me

Works for me have not tested 4g as ill prolly never have it on the boonies of SC 3g seems faster

My experience has been the same.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I have actually been a bit slower on 4G. Use to get a solid 2 bars at the house and now barely get one, sometimes. Download rate one Speedtest.net dropped down to just around 6M from 7 Mb before the update.

I'm a radio noob...if I update my radios can I still flash back to my old backups? Can I also use CM7 as well?

your ROM and your Radios are two different things. you can use any ROM you want and your radios won't change, unless there's a ROM that flashes new Radios, too.
Anyhow, I flashed mine here at work and haven't had a chance to do much, but I am getting a full signal for a change, which is rare inside this building.

All is well for me. I am on CM7, so I updated the radio, flashed a Sense ROM (Sprint Lovers) updated Profile/PRL, and restored back to CM7.
Reception seems better, but it could be my imagination. I'll need more time to tell.

Yes it is for radio 2.15.00.05.02
See my signature for which versions this has.

From my end all is well, my Evo seems to love the new radio and pri, slightly better signal and no wakelocks whatsoever, you can see my specs in my sig...

I never get anything over 1mb on 3G on cm7 (updated & tested). I just switched to the rooted ota just to run a 3G test and hit 2mb on 3G. I'm stoked because that means my 4G might be faster but I won't get my hopes up.

Switch to 2G only and run a speed test.

I got half a Mb down and up on "4g" with stock radio....

my speeds are still good but they are slower slightly. I wonder if Tmo is getting congested with the new monthly 4G plan
Sent from my HTC MyTouch 4G using XDA

There are a couple of things you can try for slow data speeds. A different radio/RIL pair may help, and you might also try the rcdata.img fix for TMO. First post in the Sensation radio/RIL thread has more info. I do not know if it is compatible with the MyTouch, we just figured it out for the Sensation. It is flashed through bootloader with a PG58IMG.zip file that contains a file named rcdata.img. There are two different versions, then you match a build.prop setting to it.

check it out

My speeds were around 4mbps when I first got '4G' but now I don't even get 1mbps. I think its stupid to be paying for something you dont get.
