So my buddy had a my touch slide and we were at buffalo wild wings, and when we team the speed test her was getting 4mb/s while my nexus one only was getting 1.7mb/s. These numbers were consistent too so it was pretty discouraging. Any idea why, am I being throttled?

Just bad luck I assume, cause my nexus pulls down over 3 mbps all the time.
I've had both devices and got the same speeds on both.

Are you guys running stock froyo? What's your bootloader status, locked or unlocked? Do you think these could affect my speeds?

your friend was on wifi and you were on your cell data... cheater
Isnt the Mytouch Slide able to handle higher speeds over cellular data?

Which wild wings?
Are you both using T-mobile?
My wife's slide loads pages faster than my nexus. I was pretty sure the snapdragon was faster...oh well its always something. Nexus still rocks more or less
We are both Tmobile, both on the network, i.e. not wifi. That's enough of a reason for someone to choose the slide over the nexus, wouldn't you think? 4mb/s vs. 1.7 mb/s?

i like the mytouch better!
SOLVED
no worries guys i found the culprit on my own , apparently i was still on my smartphone plan from tmobile, after the rep changed it from the smartphone plan to the android plan, i now get an average of 4mb/s . . . . . o yeaaaaa, android ftw
This can be a great reference for people who are undecided on Straight Talk t-mobile network vs Native T-mobile network. We can also compare $30 unlimited plan to contract plan speeds.
Please Post:
Carrier: xxxxxxx (EX: T-mobile network via T-mobile, OR, T-mobile network via Straight Talk)
Plan: xxxxx (EX: $30 unlimited, OR, $45 unlimited)
Location: xxxxx (EX: Brooklyn, NY... OR Dallas, Texas)
Then please post a picture of your speeds (or you can type it out).
Thanks!!
I posted this on thread already.
I have straightalk i had att sim ordered tmobile sim and cut it down using the att sim.
ATT sim straight talk average download speed by speakeasy app 5-7 down .5-1.5 up
Tmobile sim average speed 12-15 mb down 1.5-3 up tested this today fort wayne IN medium size city I do get 4 bars for both networks at my house. and wifi speed 20-25 down 5up comast 2.5 ghz i dont use 5gz band really.
I love this phone, and T-Mobile

Me too, it's the best phone I've ever played with or owned, and I've been very promiscuous.
On 3 mobile, £15 per month pay as you go (off contract), all you can eat unlimited data bundle, I got this whilst walking about in the town. Why bother paying the 4g data premium?
Definitely the best speeds I've had in my area on tmobile
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Not only good speed but also good latency considering I rely on Google Voice + Groove IP for VOIP. Tmobile looking good.
And on WiFi.... 2.5 band...

Yep. Speed Test on my N4 isn't scaled properly, and for some god forsaken reason my speeds have gone from ~4Mb on my Galaxy Nexus to absolute crap on my N4.

I'm in Tampa and on T-Mobile's unlimited value plan for $69. I'm pulling down 12-18 Mbps on average. Upload is 1.5-2.5 Mbps.
Thanks for the results. Now I'm even more anxious to get my Nexus 4. Those scores absolutely obliterate my scores on Sprint.
If anybody in the San Fernando Valley can report in on T-Mobile results, that would be great.

Meh, it'll take like 2-3 years for t mo lte to actually be good, so we'll probably all have new phones by then. But atm hspa is plenty fast IMO.

What radio are you using? The .33 or the .27? That's damn impressive. All I've gotten in Salt Lake City is 10mb/s, max. Running the .33 radio.
.33 Tried other radios unable to get those speeds with the other radios . At least 30 meg short with other radios.

I'm happy with my data speeds and coverage on Sprint. 40-60mbs is nothing to laugh at. Not many places I find don't have LTE anymore. Fast updates and no locked anything is a huge plus. Spring will be seeing many more Verizon customers in the coming months. S4/Note 3/S5 all locked from here out will bring more over.

Then you're lucky, because there are still TONS of places that don't have LTE, including major cities. I was in Denver a few weeks ago and still had to make do with 3G just like I do at home. Also, 40-60 mbs is unheard of, even on Verizon and AT&T. My home wifi isn't even that fast. If that figure is even remotely accurate, you're definitely a (very) rare exception rather than the rule.

My wife has vzw note 2. Here in indiana we have equal lte coverage but vzw speeds is usually 3-4 down. My sprint phone always whips vzw here. Dont dog Sprint. I avg 10-20 down and hit 30-40 down alot. This is all from our single band only phones. The only edge vzw has is lte building Penetration. All will be solved with tri band lte devices.

Idk OP, my service and bandwidth on Sprint's LTE is pretty solid, speaking as a recent convert from Verizon.
Ohh, I remember the good ol' days before Verizon lost their way. I was a Verizon customer during the release of the OG Motorola Droid, and that phone was like a development catalyst. I discovered xda thanks to that phone's development following. Everything I came to love about customizing kernels and roms came from that phone. ****, I remember what now seems like an ancient version of CyanogenMod for that OG Droid. I remember that phone out of the box was underclocked of all things, from 550Mhz down to 450 which made overclocking that thing to a meaty 1ish Ghz seem so beastly at the time lol!
Ahhhh good times :good:
Decent Sprint LTE speeds in College Park, MD
I get decent speeds (15-23 Mb down, 7-10 Mb up) on Sprint in College Park MD according to Speedtest.
Won't the speeds for the Sprint LTE towers drop for an individual once more people start utilizing it? I suspect some people are getting very high speeds because not a lot of Sprint users are tapping into the LTE bandwidth yet?

Close - it was a 600 mhz CPU underclocked to 550 mhz. I remember there were kernels that could overclock the thing all the way to 1.3 ghz. I've still never used another phone that could be overclocked that far past the native clock speed (by percentage, at least). Good times.
