I live in the Atlanta, Ga. Metro area. I have noticed that my internet speed would start out at normal speed then get very very slow after a few minutes. I tried some speed tests and the First two Test gets 1250 Kbits, then the speed drops to 200 Kbits and stays there as long as I am connected. If I wait a bit and reconnect, I get the same pattern, a fast connection then an 80% drop in speed.
Is anyone else experiancing this problen on AT%T??
I'm in Atlanta too, but I haven't really noticed that discrepancy.
Your title is pretty much nonsense.
Perhaps what you meant to say was "AT&T's network is so overloaded the speed randomy drops 80%".
Howard Forums has a lot in this regard. AT&T is just overloaded. They've made some adjustments, and it's helped. 4-6 weeks ago I couldn't even download a file without it completely stalling most of the time, now it usually finishes, although probably slower.
Supposedly It's a known problem and it's being resolved as soon as they get to it. I assume it means additional upgrades to infrastructure.

NO Nonsense, what I meant to say was "AT&T cutting 3G speed by 80%" and there is nothing random about it. I can consistantly log on at any time and do one or two speed tests at 1200 mbs then the speed drops to 200 Kbs until I log off. Then log on again and get 1200 Kbs and the speed is dropped to 200 Kbs again. They appear to be detecting large blocks of data and cutting your speed down substantually.
I noticed that if you use wap.cingular as your APN, it does seem to be a bit slower. Luckily for me, I have an actual data connect plan and am able to set up my APN as isp.cingular. Maybe its a PLACEBO, but if im not mistaken, the server that ALL of the Iphone data runs through is the wap.cingular, freeing up the other APN for me . Also, change your dns to an opendns server as that may help with some of the initial latencies. I for some reason have NEVER had an issue with the whole proxy setting dilemma ( maybe because of my specific data plan ) but this may also bottleneck your data too
Hope some of this helps
Dude if my 3G dropped to 200 mbits, I'd be a happy camper.
Is it just me or are you confusing your numbers? If that was the case you could download a file at 20 Megabytes per second after TCP overhead initially then it would drop to 2 MB/s. Now I logically think you either added an extra 0 or two or you ment kilobits.

It wont be long before cellular communications reach that speed ( I hope lol )
Also, does anyone else use the isp.cingular APN and notice a diff, or is it just all in my head lol

LOL, you just implement tables in the signature and up the maximum size so I can list all my other devices too, and I'll be almost as happy a camper as having 200mbit 3G
(doing mobile software for a living does have some benefits...)

Yes it does.
Hopefully by Monday I will order my AT&T Fuze and then join the ranks of the elite
Will see you in the Raphael forum my brother
Speed is a real issue no 3G and it's likely going to get worse when the Bold is released on 11/4. Here's an explanation of the problem: http://tiltmobility.com/2008/09/speculations-and-networks/

you are right, I meant Kbps.
I use the wap.cingular network and have noticed slower speeds, can someone give me the open dns numbers to plug in?

I'm also in metro Atlanta, but I'm not seeing that. However in recent weeks, I have noticed HSDPA coverage has expanded a bit -- I'm getting it in places I never did before.
Also, your speed figures sound about 1000x higher than I've seen; perhaps you mean kilobits/sec?
I would love to have those speeds. Most of the time where I live the edge is faster than 3G.
I would just love to have 3g in general. Edge only. My sling box is sad

Yes, as every one has noticed, I did mean kbits.
Where in the Atlanta area have you noticed HSDPA? I move around Atlanta quite a bit and have never seen the "H" on my phone. I looked all over the AT&T site and did not find a coverage map for HSDA. Have you seen it any where around the Alpharetta/Woodstock area?
I am a new user of a Samsung Captivate on AT&T, right now I'm not rooted and running the stock software, I generally love the phone, it's much better than my iPhone 3GS and I don't have many issues, except that my upload speed is slow.
I got tired of dropped calls on my iphone and my knowledge of other non-iphone AT&T users seems to indicate that the iphone is the problem with dropped call, the captivate holds on to a call, MUCH better than my old iphone and the download speeds are good, streaming music at High Quality via audiogalaxy is working great.
So I don't think their is anything wrong with my phone.
Testing the phone at work, which is generally has excellent reception for AT&T. I get 1.5 - 2mbps down, which is about what I used to get on my iPhone. But I only get around 150kbps up, my 3GS was even much faster than that in this location usually averaging 250kbps and this phone is supposed an upload speed closer to the iPhone 4 I believe.
Any captivate users on AT&T have a similar issue?
I'm in a terrible reception area at work - would need to test at home...
Currently 128k Down and 256k up
I'm kind of wondering if it's a problem left over from moving my sim from my iphone3GS to the samsung captivate, I had to call to get them to change a data plan and to reset my voicemail to the standard old school voicemail.
I've been using the phone for a week and I've never gone over 250kbps with this phone, but according to the specs I should be getting much better upload speeds.
In central NJ AT&T is actually pretty good and we have consistent 3G coverage, so I it's not like I'm out in the boonies somewhere and that's why my upload is slow.
Guess I should call AT&T.
Your upload speed is normally much lower than your download speed. If you were to do the same test on your broadband at home, you would get maybe if you are lucky 3 mega up for every 30 mega down.
Its how all isps are. The problem is not because of your sim. Also keep in mind that a heavily congested area (new York) will always have bad speeds. The more people with data hogging devices, the slower speeds you will see.
Try doing the bandwidth test again in the middle of.the night or early morning when most people are asleep. You might see some very nice speeds then.

I got my answer
I didn't realize that AT&T disabled HSUPA, I just knew the hardware supported it. and since I'm on the stock firmware that is what is keeping me at 150 - 250kbps.
Thanks for the help guys, it wasn't a big thing like I said but I wanted to know if the problem was my old sim card.
Anyone triedd?
Thx
Tested and working, only got to 65Mbps, but thats the router's fault... Laptop only does 65 to...
Yes, 150mbps up and running here

Works fine with my D-link DIR-655
YES ^^ its work
Yes it works, but keep in mind only on the 2.4Ghz band, not the 5Ghz one. Rocking 150 here on my N wifi!
You guys just convinced me to get this phone
Just bought a Buffalo Wireless-N Nfiniti WHR-G300N . Its a 300M wireless router.
I set the 11n mode with 20M/40M in router, my P990 only can connect with 65M speed.
Not know why ? P990 really support 11n?
working here too.
Only got up to 74Mbps though
Never had mine above 72mbps, but then that's the max my N1 reached as well.
Still, both n speeds though.
Had the same issues with my LG Optimus 2x. LG is noting but promises, they can't deliver.
But we should already know this now. It is with all their innovations, they obviously only work in lab environments. Or maybe in Korea.
I can only assume you meant to post that elsewhere, as LG clearly have delivered on wireless N.
Wireless N on paper, yes, but if the phone can't get to 150 mbit or 300mbit, then it is just "speed vaporware". What I would expect with N is at least 150mbit and not only 65 or 75 mbit. Taken this into consideration, deliver in regards to the speed, this is what the original post was meant to be .
I do have a Wireless N 300 Mbit router and that phone never did more than 75Mbit while being connected to the router.
Anything above 54mbps is N, that's all there is too it. If a certain speed was promised you'd have a point.
who the hell needs speeds of 150-300mbps on the phone anyway
Guess it might be useful for transferring HD movies, but other than that it's just bragging rights IMO.
Well, those ratings you see in the wlan connection details should only be treated as indication on what speed you may be able to get.
I managed to transfer files over wifi from my LG with speeds ranging from about 3,3 mb/s to 4,3 mb/s (so up to about 32 megabit/s, depends on whether its using samba server or Websharing).
Thats decent enough for music, images and small videos, but for larger transfers i prefer usb, where I get 10 to 18 mb/s for the external sd depending on whether its reading or writing..
Oddly enough, my O2X only managed like 100KB/s on average. It takes a really long time to transfer movies from my computer through wifi and it's not a problem with me router. My HTC desire can manage ~3+MB/s doing the same thing. I wonder if it's something I'm missing or LG makes crappy phones. Not to mention, this phone is sluggish. If one didn't read the specs and found out it is dual-core, one might think it's got lower specs than a Desire Z.
Anyway, the only way for me to get decent wifi speeds on O2X (starting ~2.5+MB/s and then gets to around 500KB/s) seems to be to restart the phone manually before doing transfers. For some reason, the device tends to get super sluggish after long period of use (without restarting). I definitely hope this is a software issue that will be addressed in Gingerbread release (at least).
I am currently running cm10.1.3.2 on my nook color and the max I could get is 5.6 mbps, my isp speed is capped at 25 mbps.
I am thinking of getting a used HD+ locally and I would like to know the wifi performance on this model.
I used speedtest.net to measure the speed.
TIA.
P.S. My son's Nexus 7 could hit 22 mpbs.
I saw 25Mbps in Tucson over the holidays visiting family. Here at home I'm lucky to get 4Mbps. SIL wants to get a new fruit phone because, "It's 4G!" I told him if I had his bandwidth, I'd throw mine away!
Is that with a naked NC? Are you holding it?
All rather meaningless and usually considered pointless since RF is so fickle.
My HD+ is running CM 10.2 on emmc and the speedtest.net app reports typically above 35M on my home network (my desktop/wired connection maxes out around 57M). I think the HD+ actually does a bit better in that department than my 2012 Nexus 7. It's no slouch on the wifi.

Not sure what did you mean by "naked", and yes, I am holding it when I browse the web and it is slow.
Getting about 18-20 Mbps down right now.
My phone is getting almost twice as fast right next to it.
CM11 and cases on both.

Naked being without a case or sleeve.
Try setting it down on a counter or table before invoking the test.Your body is mostly water, and water is notorious for interfering with RF. As are microwaves, fluorescent lights, clouds, sunspots, electric motors, ... And in my case, a metal roof. Which is why I'm lucky to get 4Mbps
Seriously though. RF is fickle.
I only ask the question because 'technology' never stops. My 'computer' is an old Z600: 8GB old RAM, couple Xeon chips, 1GB ethernet. Ex-girlfriend's ex-husband gave me a sweet video card for it a couple years ago - 'course it was old and gross to him (so, maybe a year or 2), but pretty sweet to me. Now Nexuiz looks even better! Max settings!
More to the point, my router is pretty 'old'. It's a version 4 netgear wndr something that has been a pretty sweet ride for my lan, but, as I write, it's pretty old. I have dd-wrt on it, of course.
People say - dood, that's some old ****, I got the super-ultra-mega version X, with updated version this, and version that, for 12 million dollars and only one of my kids - DOOD - you should get it!!!
A few months ago the new router seed was planted in my head - I'm thinking about it - but, to what end? What am I missing? Anything? wi-fi 6?
It's only me in the house now - kids are grown, so their devices are gone. From that router I have the z600 as my main box (ethernet), serving up web, hosting pi-hole: I browse on it, watch movies, frag motherfukers, maybe some email; it's Debian, so, I'm always in a terminal because I can be, maybe some gimp... There's a roku in the bedroom, can't use 5Ghz - so, old wireless, couple new phones. That's it - my lan is no longer, really.
I'm not too sure at all that I need a new router. I mean, I have 3 more in the garage if this one craps out. Lol. The speeds I get on my lan are pretty good to me. I had dial-up, 52K was super-ultra-mega! - WTF! I can stream movies no problem, download lineageos images just-like-that, even on my phone when it's wi-fi connected on my lan. From my phone, anywhere in the house, I can use FX to connect to my computer and it's wicked fast - I can play music from an old dump on my computer downstairs doing laundry, or watch a video, or tweak the system, move files - so the wi-fi seems fast enough to me.
I have charter's lowest tier ISP service - 100 megabits per second. Pffft...it's barely better than the service I had in that one town 14 years ago! Still, it's 10 mb a second, at least. Which, is pretty f'kin fast to me. On 52K it was 10 minutes per MB, now it's 10MB per second, which, is pretty ancient, too!
I don't need a new router, do I? What will I gain, or, employ that I don't have now? To be honest, I'd buy one just to have a sunday morning of config'ing and rebuilding my lan, but, my ancient wisdom says - dood, 200 bucks is 200 bucks! That's gas for 3 weeks of getting to work. Gas! That's food for almost 2 weeks. Food! I'm just sayin' - my parents house cost 24,500, my car cost 32,000...
I use gas every day, and food - I use my router every day. I drink coffee every day and the only reason I'm not using a stainless steel percolator on my ancient gas stove every morning anymore is because waking up to a fresh pot of coffee that started automatically as I still slept is fuk'ing magic. How much better is wi-fi today, how much better are routers?
Not much I would say.
If you update the router you will also need to update the WiFI card on your computer.
new WiFi card will consume moar CPU power.
And things will be same.
Currently, your bottleneck is RAM followed by CPU not network.
