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

with the 1mb file which you get after the other files are too small
which takes you to

#1 375 kbit/sec on a 1MB file.
#2 513 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.

Looks like AT&T just turned 3G on on Oahu. Been driving around all day and it seems that most of the island is 3G. Will be checking on HSDPA soon.

I was getting about 600 - 700 with 3G, and 900 - 1000 with HSDPA enabled.
I thought that Hawaii was going to be the last for the upgrade, but with all the travelers from Asia i guess they had no choice.
Does the ATT version of the Kaiser not have 3.5G? Or am I just not in the correct areas for such coverage?
My downloads on my 8525 were 700kbits/sec, and the 8925 is 1000kbits/sec. I'm happy, but not 3.6mpbs happy.
it's area specific. I have 3.5g in my area but it's still hit and miss. And you will never see 3.6mbps actual speed, 1mbps or 1.5 is pretty damn good for a mobile phone

Yeah i know it wouldnt peak 3.6, but it would be nice to see it get close I use my phone as my permanent internet source... every bit satisfies.
Bah... that wait for new technology coverage continues.
Thanks!
I beleive I've recently started seeing 3.5G in our area. I think it's the 'H' connection, a.k.a. HSDPA which includes rates between 383Kbps and 14.4Mbps.
Metro Philadelphia
I live in the metro Philadelphia PA area, and my phone will reach download speeds of 250-300kb/sec on a regular basis, when downloading large files.
The tilt does supprt HSDPA where available, although I believe this is still usually referred to as 3G, rther than 3.5. 1000Kb/s is about avg for it. I have hit 1.4 Mb/s in my area, I don't expect much higher than that. I am not sure about HSUPA (upload). I know they are rolling it out in some areas but I do not know if it is enabeled on the tilt.

You might want to install KaiserTweak and see if HSDPA is enabled on your phone. It wasn't on mine and I notice a big difference when that H comes on.
KaiserTweaks... Now that I think about it that's why my phone is showing the 'H.'

No, HSDPA IS 3.5G. UMTS is 3G.
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?

Round them up! Download the free app from the market (keyword: Speedtest.net).
In this video, I'm showing an actual 3G speed test using an older 64K SmartChip SIM card with the Cingular logo on it. AT&T claims my speed will improve if I use their new SIM card (does it really? If it does, let me know and I'll make the switch.) At the end of the video, you will see a series of speed tests in my history. I've averaged between 2-3 Mbps download and about 0.3 Mbps upload. This may seem slow compared to what other people are getting. My Captivate is stock and unmolested (for now).
So, what's your speed?

Just ran the test.
1879 down, 254 up Captivate on 3G
My last 3 phones (fastest to slowest)
Captivate > 3gs > iP4
The Captivate and 3gs tests were with the same SIM card. The iP4 would never go over 100kbps upload.
Damn, I'm only getting about 1.5 mb/s dl and .2 mb/s ul using 3G with full signal strength. On wifi I get about 5mb/s dl and .7 mb/s ul

And after a 4 mile drive east, you get zilch.
Good for you!
I had 3264 down and 371 up last time I ran it.
Generally get from 2000 to 3300 down, and anywhere from 150 to almost 400 up with a full signal.
IT doesn't bother me right now... 4G is a work in progress.

I accually keep the 4G off anyway. 3G suits me just fine with around 2mb down and half a meg upload.

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.

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?

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.

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.
