3G Speed on Kaiser

So we finally have 3G in Minneapolis. But i am disappointed about the actual 3G speed. I have HSPA enabled and only get speeds between 350 and 600 kbits/sec. I was in Germany 2 weeks ago and with a Vodafone pre-paid SIM Card i was routinely getting speeds between 800 kbits/sec to 1.2 mb/sec.
Is ATT 3G in the USA inferior to 3G in Germany?
As i am trying to figure this out, i do notice that i only connect to the internet using Medianet. I do not have an isp through ATT. Does an ISP connection make a significant difference as far as 3G speed is concerned?

What speeds are you guys getting her in Minneapolis?

Those sound like pretty standard 3G speeds for the region. I am getting the same speeds in Milwaukee which isn't that far away from you.

I get 750 in detroit

3G Speed in Minneapolis
I use isp.cingular for 3G and see speeds between 567 and 997 mb/s. I'm very pleased with the increase.

What are you using to test the speed with? Let me know and I'll test it. I'm in Roseville right now...I live in Mpls so I can test that later tonight.
.:Christian:.

i use this one
http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed?jisok=1
with the 1mb file which you get after the other files are too small
which takes you to
http://www.dslreports.com/mspeed?jisok=1&more=1

#1 375 kbit/sec on a 1MB file.
#2 513 kbit/sec on a 1MB file.
#3 321 kbit/sec on a 1MB file.
.:Christian:.

Question: isp.cingular did you call cingular to request your account to be setup for it? I had it working before but now I get an error saying the modem is not responding.
As for speeds with 3g the fastest I ever reached was 1046 kbit/s now I get 774 kbit/s roughly.

WOW!! That is damn fast
kb/s I think...

Keep in mind that whenever I've run a speed test with PIE, it's always reported a far slower speed than other browsers...

3G and HSDPA are two different thing, HSDPA is also known as 3.5G, the results you get is about right.

nexus one hspa+

I got a nexus one with at&t in NYC. I was usually getting around 1.2 mbps down with peaks of 2.7 mbps in Brooklyn. In Manhattan, I was on average 2.2 mbps down and peaks of 2.9 mbps. Today all of a sudden I get 3.5 mbps average with peake of 3.8mbps with 1.4 mbps upload. Did at&t upgrade to hspa+?

I just tested again a couple of times throughout the hour and avg now is about 2.7, And i had a peak of 3.6

Technically the Nexus one cannot get full hspa+ speeds. It will see a bump, but will never go over 7.2 or really even come close to it. The limit is 7.2mbps downlink. Yes, you will see the improvements you have though, congrats. I'm in Chicago where Tmobile has not yet covered the whole city in hspa+ or even started for that matter to my knowledge. Hopefully soon though so I can get the speeds your getting.

The Nexus One I am assuming does not have the hardware for HSPA+ or is there another limiting factor?

It is hardware limited. But for both At&t and Tmobile there will be speed increases from their upgraded networks. Just not full hspa+

This guy is spamming the forums. He has started 4 threads today all on almost the same thing. This thread is even the same word for word, just with different numbers. What is with these people?

4g Speeds, south east region

Hey, just wanted to see what anyone else is getting as far as speeds in the south east region or any other region.
i ran 3 test from the speedtest.net app back to back to back and i got these results
92ms ping 51011 kbps down 19738 kbps up
85ms ping 60377 kbps down 19468 kbps up
92ms ping 59564 kbps down 20423 kbps up
im in upstate south carolina and we just got LTE 3 days ago in our area

I'm in Birmingham, AL and the best I've seen has been about 16 meg down and 11 meg up. I've tried several places around town and I'd say the median so for has been about 6-8meg up/down (highest I ever saw on the Atrix 4G with H+ was 5 down/1-2 up). I've seen as low as 2 meg down and in one place that I got no data on my 4G, I got 3-4 meg down, only a few hundred k up, and data, but no voice!

16.5MBPS on TMO HSPA+ in the US...

I was looking at the 18MBPS LTE speeds in canada and was confused. I'm getting a consistant 14-17 MBPS on HSPA+. What's with the rush for LTE?

I got 17.56Mbps. However, according to the LTE thread, some people in Canada can get up to ~40-50 Mbps...

Did a speed test the other day on T-Mobile HSPA+ and I got over 20. Not bad considering my home internet connection is 25. My Nexus 4 is lightning fast on HSPA+, I'm not seeing the need to switch to LTE either for at least a couple more years.

I have reached 21 Mbps download and 3 Mbps upload. LTE is average 30+ download and upload.
HSPA+ saves battery and LTE kills it.

The reason LTE is better is that is generally has lower latency speeds and absolutely has faster upload speeds.

In the US, AT&T has terrible 3G speeds. But T-mobile's HSPA network is generally really fast. So it really depends on your provider. And yes, LTE has very little latency. But if you are on T-mobile and have great coverage, I don't think LTE would be a big change. Unless you are tethering, LTE vs HSPA+ is not a huge difference.

People need to learn the difference of MB and Mb

The shift key?

I haven't had super stellar HSPA+ speeds around town (Portland, OR, on T-Mobile) but just now I did one and got 24.2Mbps down, 5Mbps up. :good: Good enough for me by far. That's faster than my home internet.
Edit: Wait, that was my home internet. Up too late last night... 13Mbps down, 1.5Mbps up. That's still not bad.

If we do enable the LTE part of the phone, does that mean our battery life would be depleting faster?

The other day I got 63mbps on my Nexus 4, take that T Mobile

But T-Mobile is going to construct an AWS LTE network in the US, and it will be newer than the LTE on other carriers.

People also forget.
What is the use of 50 Mbps download if the website you are looking at only displays at 10 Mbps up?

I guess a lot of people hoping for LTE are on AT&T. I get a bit 2-3 Mbps down, 1-1.5 Mbps up (250-375 KB/s and 125-188 KB/s, I don't get why people use bits for bandwidth when everyone is clearly more familiar with bytes...).
I wonder if you need a smartphone plan on AT&T to get LTE on an off-network-branded device. I'm using MediaNET and I'd rather pay $10 for unlimited 3G than $25 for 2GB of 4G. If we can eventually use LTE incognito on AT&T and keep our MediaNET plans, I'll be happy. Doesn't really make a difference to me either way. 3G speeds are more than good enough for browsing. I don't mind a little buffering if I'm streaming HD video on the go.

I have vzw lte and tmo hspa (via straight talk) with both I see ~10Mbps in and around southern california, so I too see no need to rush out for an LTE phone AND I figure the n5 will have it so in a year this will all be moot.

Pre payed att you do require a smartphone plan to get the full speed. It will be like 50 bucks I believe..

You guys are lucky. I literally get less than .2Mbps down/up where I live due to it being 2G :crying:. Always on my 30/5 WiFi. Sometimes I'll get upwards of 5 in the city. Some "4G" eh? T-Mobile is an absolute joke for me here and I HATE it.

LTE is king for latency.
I play a lot of counterstrike, and there used to be a regular who'd play over VZW LTE. Guy had lower latency than I did over cable. More important, he seemed completely fluid in the game-- no jitter or packet loss. Completely playable. That's huge.

Your thread title's pretty misleading. There is a big difference between 16.5MBPS and 16.5MbPS.

Slow 4g lte

My phone is showing 4G LTE icon with either full bars or close to it, yet my speeds are horrible. Speed test app would show like 0.29 Mbps on average. I've seen this phone reach high speeds like 39 Mbps elsewhere, but around here it's pretty bad. Data speeds would be slow or I get connection time out errors. During less busy times, I might sometimes reach 1-4 Mbps, but that's temporary. Is there something I could do to get some usable speeds? I remember back in tmo gs1 days, I could edit the build.prop with some lines and improved my speeds. I am on a 910T3 rooted phone with a custom rom on a DOK2 modem. Thank you.

They may working on tower close to you. Call tmo tech support and let them know. I remember when similar situation was going in my area, switching to 4g instead lte gave me faster download/upload speeds.

They recently put up Extended Range LTE in my city, but the speeds/signal look like the same as before. I guess I'll contact them. Thanks.
