Nice, I wonder what the phone is capable of, I've got 1Gb of speed at my place.

I already get 235Mb/s+ with my S7 Edge so I think the limit is your ISP and WiFi, not the phone.

Yes, didn't notice the provider id of 'T-Mobile'. If that's the case this is definitely fast. I just checked my S7 and I got 98/17 with a ping of 31ms.

Dunno just says 4G LTE ont he phone

I am actually anxious to see how this thing does in a couple of months. Im on AT&T and i live just outside of Indianapolis which, from what i understand, is the first market AT&T is launching 5g in this summer.

Wait for 5G to kick in, then we'll see what this beast can do

Anyone with FAST wifi do speed tests?
One of my issues with the S7E is its wifi was much slower than my Note 5.
My iPhone 7+ hits 600+ up and down on our wave2 AC wifi network here.
The S7E had fast LTE though. Fastest speedtest (Verizon) I recall was around 130 down and 50 up. That's smoking for LTE but bad if you don't have unlimited. LOL

I was able to hit 536Mbps, but i'm pretty far from my router. When my kid wakes up ill get close and see the max speed. It says the link is 833mbps

The link speed is all over the place. The wifi app only goes to 866 but it sometimes pegs the meter and goes over 999. LOL
Getting great speeds on wifi. Similar speeds to my 2016 macbook pro! The wifi radio on this is excellent. Haven't tried lower signals to see how it fares yet.

Ok TMOBLE this is B.S.! I'm in Las Vegas and getting speed at as low as 20 , 30 k down.. that k ..NOT meg
And TMOBLE is telling me there no problem
Best I've seen in burst of 7 meg
The has been going on since I got the phone

I'm pulling over 630mbps at my house. That's Wi-Fi though ?

He's clearly on 4g with full signal bars.
My 4g speeds are hit and miss here in San Antonio, Tx. At home I used to get 10-12Mbps. Now I usually get 5-8Mbps. Here at work I used to get close to 5Mbps with 1 - 2 signal bars. Sometimes I barely get 1Mbps with the same signal, other times it is pushing barely 3Mbps. My signal strength hasn't increased or decreased significantly at least.
Again, there is already a thread about slow data on Sprint here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933900
It's a nationwide issue.
I miss being in 4g coverage. It was basically wifi on the go.
Although the latency would make it respond a second or so later..
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Current 3G speed is 1307/533 with only 3/6 bars
4G is 2050/1075
I drove truck across country both 4g and 3g speeds varied depending on population density and even that sometimes didn't matter. Now I sit at home and rarely use 3g 4g doesn't exist but of course we pay for it....It's like paying a huge bill for something I rarely use..At home I'm on wifi.
wireless tether
My friend's tether works with 3g -- he can get on his phone's 3g network wirelessly and wired, but he can't do it with 4g on. Anyone can help?
"4G" on Sprint is an absolute joke. The fact that they make us pay for it is detestable. I kinda knew that 4G was gonna suck, I just wanted the Epic really bad. What can I say? I'm a glutton for punishment. LOL

the seriously you're better off going to another carrier. I like sprint, yes the 4g speeds are not as consistent as I would like, but most errors i see on XDA are user-based because of ignorance (i.e. restoring data from a completely different rom via CWM, SMH), which i believe you have plenty of. Do some fact checking and you'll see that Sprint has the best data plans for the money available.
Stop *****ing and go to Verizon.

It's a whole lot less cluttering when you post the speed.....we honestly don't care/need a screen shot when a (3G xxx / xxx) format works 1000x better
For the third time, yes it's a network issue. And yes there's already a thread about it. First page.
i fix my problem with mines. i just turned of my phone for about 15minutes. now iam back to 5-6mbps. for a few days i was at 1-2mbps.
well the only time I tried 4G was at CES - and it was slower then the 3G - and since Sprint dont have it anywhere but they still always advertise it all the time around my town and its not even in this state!
that sucks almost as much as waiting between posts and just to post in the development section
Dont know if this helps, but it did me...
All these roms are developed in their own home...so the PRL is not for your surrounding area....
I live in New York, so when I did a test at speedtest.net it showed me in Kansas...I updated my PRL and my location was back in NY and my test speed doubled.
Does this make sense?

I want lte on my atrix!!!!

The Verizon LTE service is supposed to be the fastest out there.

BUT...
It looks like now that people have actually started to use LTE, the speeds have gone Way, Way down.

Is anyone else beating this "4"g with hspa+?!
i dont know. the download was slow, around 2Mbps. but holy crap did you see the upload hitting 22Mbps!
Still beats the pants off my Atrix and AT&T.

Download????? only 2.97? WTF
Man LTE is sooooo amazing. But the uploading being 22 is f**king awesome!
just thought I would clear this up, The high uploads are due to the speedtest app not being able to measure LTE uploading correctly.
These scores are completely inaccurate.
It might as well say 99999999.9999999mbps upload.

Oh that makes sense. But I get those download speeds on my Moto Atrix!
Is anyone else having a problem with their atrix switching to Edge? I'll try to run a speed test or watch a video and it will just randomly switch to edge, then no signal, then back to H. What's the deal?
That was the point of this post. Most atrixes (Atrices?) are faster than this. Mine gets 5 down
Intersting results - mine were much different in Phoenix AZ.
I think in general the speedtest app is broken. When doing it on the webpage I was getting more consistantly between 15-20 MBps download and 5 MB upload.
I am actually giving back my atrix tomorrow. Best phone I have ever had, but the network is not even 3g speed out here (even with a microcell in my house I still can not get over 1.5 MB download and we all know about the stellar upload speed)

try going to www.speakeasy.net/speedtest and running it through your browser. curious to see what you'd get there.
So if the Atrix only shows H+ than why does my Atrix switch a 3g symbol everyonce in awhile for a few seconds. I dont understand it.
My data has been so bad in my area I'm getting very upset, Im about to take my phone back and try to get out of contract if they dont fix it.

LTE uses a single channel(SC)-FDMA while WiMax still uses OFDMA for their respective uplink signaling. OFDMA is what 3G uses, hence why you can still get an accurate reading on the Evo.

I hate to be the one to say this cause I def agree that 5Mbps is better the 3Mbps but even 5Mbps is not HSPA+ if we all remember HSPA theoretical max is 14.4 with HSPA+ theoretical max at 42Mbps up and 84Mbps down. now I realize that we will never see 84Mbps but 8.4 is def possible.

Yeah unfortunately the speeds you're getting are 3G nothing more nothing special. I got the exact same speeds on my HTC tilt 2 and on my LG Quantum. Hopefully (fingers crossed) they do nothing but talk about the end of march as an activation date for their 4G aka HSPA+ (not true 4G) or at least by june. But with ATT one can only hope. I do have to say perhaps they have fixed something in NY for you cause I've heard that signal and speed up there is horrible

I myself left Sprint and an Epic 4G for the Atrix and I have not looked back. My experience to date is that the data is consistently better with AT&T than with Sprint. My house is not covered by the very spotty Sprint 4g coverage and AT&T's 3g was a lot faster compared to my Sprint 3g.
I do drop more calls with AT&T though. My phone cycles in and out of signal more often, but not excessively.
You guys are lucky. My area won't be getting actual 4G any time soon.

Look, if you're stuck with a monopoly.. never mind, let me just give you an analogy
If a hitman beats you with a club every day, and you get badly injured you're sad.
Then he upgrades his backfist and decides to beat you up instead. It sucks, but it's better.
Would you rather be beat with a club, or a fist?

Anybody noticed slower T-mobile speeds lately?

That's still pretty quick. Speed varies on the time of day. If too many people are using the network, it'll get clogged and users will see their speeds lowered. If you're far from the cell tower/antenna your speed will be lower. Having a new sim card simply doesn't affect network speeds.
When I'm at home I don't even get half the speed you get! Because there's this tall apartment building next to my house!

I had t-mobile's prepaid before I switched to a contract last year. And speeds are the same whether or not it's on a contract or not. So yeah, like I said perhaps their network is filled with people using it so you will see lower speeds. Also, during peak hours lowers the speed you normally get as well. Orrrr T-Mobile is trolling you. Hmmmm....

I guess something is going on with their network, perhaps LTE preparation. Look what I get now
Definitely. At work I used to get 18-19Mbps down, now I get 8-9.
Best not to think about it and just use it. No need to stress it out. Lol.

Yeah, I've also been getting the INSANE upload speeds, but I can only imagine it's a bug.

That's still pretty quick. Speed varies on the time of day. If too many people are using the network, it'll get clogged and users will see their speeds lowered. If you're far from the cell tower/antenna your speed will be lower. Having a new sim card simply doesn't affect network speeds.
When I'm at home I don't even get half the speed you get! Because there's this tall apartment building next to my house!

****, i barely get fast upload speeds from Comcast at home. Came back from Hong Kong and had 2gb worth of video from concert i saw there...took a while to upload all that onto BOX account...
I get 2 bars at home...9mbps. I dont even get HSPA +15 outside rarely...only say that in Hong Kong 100% of the time.
You're complaining about slow speeds when you're getting well over 10Mbps!!
In downtown Chicago I get 10-19Mbps depending on the time of day. At home (about 25 minutes from downtown Chicago) I get 2-5Mbps

lol I am not complaining, I am trying to figure out whats the deal. I am sure the difference I have is not because of congestion. At my home speed differs only 1-3mbs during busy hours compare to lets say 2am. It has been steady 20-25mbs. I literally have been running speedtest every day during last month and a half to see if they gonna throttle me or if I use too much data and just testing out speeds
Heh... And you still complain? I'm in front of a TMO signal tower and it's been getting worse since 3 days ago.

My network type shows HSPAP, what is it? Why no HSPA+42

The Testing application (*#*#4636#*#*) will show HSPAP, the phone status in the settings application should show HSPA+:15 or HSPAP:15. HSPAP is HSPA+. The status won't show HSPA+ 42, because the number indicates connection type and not speed.
I feel your pain as well.
That usually my average all the time with this damn phone even in parts of NYC!!
I just dont understand it.

I've been getting blazing speeds lately. Even in places where my old verizon had no service. It's a given that i need to be outside to get 30+ mbps but i'm happy getting 15 mbps inside a bunch of concrete. The uploads have been pretty good as well.
Definitely slower for me. I used to get 20 down, 15 up, now I get 10 down .12 up on HSPA+. When I go into town and I get LTE though, I get around 30 down 12 up
