For those who are worried about the signal strengths... - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I was getting poor signal while I was at work. Had me worried about how the radio would perform. Fear not though, the below speed tests were taken while I was driving to a meeting. Faster than my Droid Razr.

I've got 2 bars of 4g in my house but have noticed a couple drops here and there into 3g....will check results of speed and such later

You're wasting your 4gb cap running those tests

I am getting speeds anywhere from 22mb to 41mb download speeds. Freaking amazing speeds. Love it!

I noticed that my phone showed low signal strength but it seems to perform well regardless... Idk though. I think the issue is more cosmetic.

i get 1.27 mb/s on 3g in my room :/ I'll try it tomorrow on hspa+... it better be SIGNIFICANTLY faster :/

Who cares lol most people never come close to 2GB, let alone 4GB.
If that was a passive-aggressive way of laughing that T-Mobile gets unlimited data...you really shouldn't laugh about something like that. If T-Mobile could get half the speed Verizon's LTE network gets (in the general population) then I would be amazed.
Then again when you hit that 2GB "non-limit" your speed should keep a cool 200Kbps or so, no?

Oh please vzw fanboy, go looks in the tmo GS2 section, they're getting 20-32mbps down from a lot of the screen shots i was looking at. And no, I'm not on tmo, I'm on AT&T and use a GS2 Skyrocket and get killer LET speeds. Don't knock a network when you obviously don't know what HSPA+ is capable of.

95% of Verizon Wireless data users consume less than 2GB. The other 5% use 44% of the data thats processed on the network. I'm fine with the 2GB limit (though I am unlimited)... I have never used more the 1.5gb.

Depending on the time of day. You will see significantly higher speeds in the middle of the night as there are minimal users on the tower compared to say, 3-5 when everyone is getting off or about to get off of work and is on there phone seeing what everyone did that day or is going to do that night.

I dunno why this has turned into a stupid T-Mobile v Verizon argument, but seriously cut the ****. For one, T-Mo doesn't throttle at 100mb or 2GB - you get 5GB of high speed data and then you're throttled.
At any rate, it's good to see that the 4G radio on the new GN is up to speed! Hopefully battery live holds up as well!

Comparing hspa+ to LTE. If it were reliable and consistent with high speed in the 20mbps+ range like you say according to screen shots, Why would att be fumbling all over themselves trying to deploy LTE. I think it's very safe to say that when comparing network quality and speed Verizon has broken away and is steadily pulling.
Att loves the HSPA+ and the re branding of "4G".

Wow, I was just joking and wasn't trying to turn it into a pissing contest between carriers. lol some of you guys are so defensive.

ummm, some plans have a 2gb soft cap, some have a 5gb cap. you pay more for the 5gb cap. I was throttled the first month with them. They are seem serious about it for the newer customers while legacy customers still seem to get true unlimited. Jumped ship to verizon for true unlimited and avg 5-7gb a month, no cap at all.
Oh, and when they throttled me (t-mobile), I only got about 50kbps down and every app or webpage would time out...

kinda like verizons 3g speed compared to att's? Att got a late start but their lte will end up the same. faster. add in the fast that it falls back to hspa+ and it's a much better solution. coverage is dependant on area of course.
and yes those ping times are terrible

All this is fine, well, and good, but since my SGN can't even keep a 1x signal and has pretty much stayed at -120dbm since I brought it home yesterday, I'm gonna have to take it back. My T-bolt & Eris are both giving me -95 to -100 signals when side by side (all sitting on tables, so I'm not holding it wrong...) I hope it is just the one I got so I can continue to live the Nexus dream!

[Article] Sprint's network sucks (nothing that wasn't known before)

Here's an article that looked at the speeds of various networks... nothing surprising here. Here's the excerpt about Sprint...
http://www.washingtonpost.com/busin...test-network/2012/04/18/gIQAJ4pfQT_story.html
"Sprint’s network speeds came in dead last in all testing cities, and its 4G WiMax offering was behind even 3G network speeds from its competitors. The company is looking to convert its WiMax network to LTE, and, according to the report, has focused the bulk of its development resources on that conversion."
Pretty sad that we're paying for "4G" service when it's slower than 3G on other carriers. I'm really surprised there isn't a class action lawsuit over Sprint's advertising "4G" speeds which aren't fast and are hardly available to most users.

Sadly I don't think this is a surprise to anyone. But hey I don't mind being on the slowest network, just wish their speeds are at leasst a little more competitive and it sounds like sprint is working on that.
This should be no surprise to anyone on here.
America's slowest network, but we are still unlimited.

T-Mo is similar to Sprint, in some situations less, so if you include T-Mo that statement doesn't hold w/r/t the charts.

Well I don't think overall T-Mo's network is as good as the study shows (when you consider voice quality, data caps, etc. and margin of error with the study). But realistically it is probably VZW>ATT>Sprint>T-Mo.
I don't care what people say about T-Mo's speeds these days. When the G1 came out there were places in NJ/NY I couldn't even get a signal.
My point: if you want a truly reliable/speedy network then pay out for VZW or AT&T. If you don't want to pay then enjoy the slow/unlimited Sprint or the fast/IMO unreliable/data caps of T-Mo.
Ridiculous if you ask me lol....its unlimited because the speeds are so slow they aren't worried about anyone going over...lol

I know I can get good T-mo coverage at home (where I get zero Sprint coverage). I just don't know if I'll get coverage at my parent's house. They are kinda on the boundaries of the maps for all the carriers. I get zero Sprint coverage there but AT&T and Verizon both have good signals.
I've priced out phones and plans and T-mo is cheaper for me than Sprint. AT&T and Verizon are just a little more ($5-10) considering the data/voice/txt that we use and the company discounts I can get. We're definitely switching at first opportunity, just have not fully decided on AT&T or T-mo.

And that chart is showing the big companies.. I have Simple Mobile in my area which piggy backs off of T-Mobile and they get 4g inside buildings and faster speeds than us with being a month to month company... That gets me upset I must admit...
It took me nearly 5 minutes to load google.com on my Epic Touch last night! That was on 3G. Pathetic to say the least. Even 4G is terribly slow where I live. 4G is only as fast as what decent 3G used to be. What's going on? If this doesn't improve drastically by the end of this year I'm switching back to Verizon. It just isn't worth having an unlimited data plan for it to suck like this. Makes me want to stop paying my $250 phone bill every month. Nobody is getting what they're paying for and suing sprint isn't going to help matters or i would definetely concider doing just that. And yes prepayed providers are MUCH faster than Sprint in most areas. Sooooo SAD!
I'm in the Boston area and only recently have I experienced 4G. I've been on SERO for years and have been completely satisfied as a 3G user on numerous WinMo devices. My upgrade of a line to the E4GT has me paying an extra $20/mo but I still have no complaints. My expectations and usage are both low. Happy Sprint customer here!

I hope they upgrade their base 3g since it is too big of a battery kill to stay on 4g all the time.
Guess it's in the eye of the beholder. I'm not looking for 3G/4G to be a broadband replacement and by habit use Wi-Fi wherever I can, mainly for saving battery. Also, the MVNO I'm with gives us a deal better than any other major carrier by a significant amount so we'll be with them unless a better deal comes along. It does what I need and for now it's enough.
Having said that, here's what PC World's slide on Chi-town said:
Chicago
In Chicago, AT&T finished first in average 3G download rate (3.45 mbps) and in average 4G download rate (9.70 mbps), while Verizon took first in average 4G upload rate (6.92 mbps). But AT&T's 3G numbers weren't great in Chicago, compared to its performance other cities.
T-Mobile's normally strong numbers dipped significantly--especially on average 3G upload speed (0.78 mbps), where the company's recorded rate was dramatically lower than for any other city where we tested except Dallas. T-Mobile's 3G download average of 3.35 mbps for Chicago was the company's fourth-worst in our study. Even so, the difference between number one AT&T and number two T-Mobile was a scant 0.10 mbps.
Also noteworthy in the 3G data is Sprint's 3G upload average of 0.08 mbps--by far the worst average rate for any city on any measure in our study.
In the 4G bracket, AT&T notched the best average 4G download rate at 9.70 mbps and Verizon won for uploads with an average of 6.92 mbps. T-Mobile's HSPA+ 42 service fared poorly in comparison to its service in other cities, registering its worst average download speed (2.24 mbps) and second-worst average upload speed (0.65 mbps) in our 13-city sample.

LOL.. no thanks, I'll go with the results from the actual comprehensive nationwide speed comparison and not your biased conclusion.. because you couldn't get signal on occasion with T-Mobile in New Jersey.
The point is, everyone's experience will be different depending on where you live, that's why they tested in many states, and then averaged the scores.
I switched from T-mobile to Sprint for my Epic Touch and I was severely disappointed with Sprints data speeds, that being said I'm sticking it out for LTE.
I think everyone here already knew what those results were going to look like. Now let's see those same tests done this time next year. Supposedly NV is improving 3g speeds also. Not being an ass or anything but truthfully speaking If you don't think Sprint is worth your money switch network's. I went and got a DROID RAZR last year and loved there 3g but 4G went out far too often. And my bill was the same for one phone what it is for 2 on Sprint, did have unlimited data though.

Dont really think that is an issue with most. I try and buy my phones off of people or Craigslist so that when I am ready to go there is no problem. Most people will leave but its a lil harder when you are in a contract and money may be tight. Me personally I do not think I can go back to a reg company if I leave with month to month companies offering better service than the Big 4

Sprint data... worse lately?

Has anyone else noticed just how much slower sprint is lately? I mean, we all knew that they've began having major issues last year, but now, seems worse. I literally can't get above .15mbps on any of my three phones. That's in most of the Denver/Aurora area. Before it was slow, now it is just not usable.
The only excuse Sprint ever has is the network vision, but really? I'm pretty fed up with this dial up.
I'll atop ranting now, am still under contract with them .

Just hard to remain optimistic, specially knowing that the unlimited model, while nice, isn't going to help with speed. Just too many people can abuse the already suffering network. While limits suck, they really force people to watch their data use, or pay for higher usage.

I checked out tmobile prepaid, and prepaid just makes more sense seems like. Yea, you pay full retail price if you want a nice phone, but you don't need to pay any hidden upgrade fees, or weird surcharges sprint has, nor is it as expensive. And I can't speak for everyone, but I honestly don't see network vision doing anything but allowing sprint catch up to the point where most others are already at, except for years later. And if they keep this unlimited model going, I only see the network continuing on suffering. Sure, Lte would be nice and the fact that all new high end sprint phones are lte capable. Unless you're in major 6 markets though, yore stuck on crawling 3g till at least 2014, that's when they plan to roll out lte here in Colorado, not to mention it will only be the initial roll out, only among major highways, even spottier than wimax.

The thing I've noticed about CD a devices is that they don't drop calls nearly as often as GSM models do. I've noticed this with several devices amongst my family. I'm not saying cdma is immune to it, just that they tend to transfer from tower to tower better.
With that in mind, I'd probably go to Verizon if I switched... but I can't stand the amount of things they will charge you for. They charge to block numbers, GPS, etc. T-Mobile sounds ideal as far as pricing goes but if GSM drops calls often then I'm not too sure.
A few months ago i was on cricket with the og epic, i was tired of they crappy service so i was looking to switch. Sprint grabbed me with their truly unlimited data. Guess i should of researched speeds as well =/ but i have hopes for sprint, im stuck with them for 2 years and network vision should (hopefully) hit buffalo ny by then. if i dont get a significant increase in data quality i will most defiantly go with verizon. They may be a bit more expensive but hey, the phrase "you get what you pay for" may apply here

Really?! I prefer GSM over CDMA any day. Unless, we are talking about CDMA-Advanced. My reasoning is the whole data speed aspect. With GSM, your 3G speeds are much better due to HSPA and HSPA+ technology. On Sprint, have you ever seen speeds over 2.5mbps in an excellent coverage area with no network load? The max CDMA network that Sprint has can go is 3.2, which is theoretical. TMobile HSPA+21 network can reach 10-12mbps without many issues. HSPA+42, 19-25 in my area during off hours. Verizon CDMA, while much more consistent, isn't much faster than Sprint.
I understand your argument with dropped calls, but I actually have found the opposite to be true. I have less dropped calls while on the go on my T-Mo company phone (GNexus), vs any of the Sprint devices I have. And that is among same area. I am guessing our experiences differ due to coverage in respectable states.
Sprint was good here for a week or less when NV was apparently being worked on in my area.. now it is even worse than before! I'm not sure what they did to the nearest towers but everyone I know around complains lately that their signal inside their house is worse and not as reliable. I've been considering jumping ships to a different carrier, perhaps the T-Mobile prepaid plan... considering I only use like 40 mins a month and only need dependable fast data on the good. Sprint better hope LTE and NV starts working here in the L.A area

I used to hit around 1 Meg in the morning. From this speed it drops into nearly single digits throughout the day.
My 3g speeds have gotten cut in half in San Diego this month. I don't even know what its like using the 4G option on this phone which leaves me a little bitter at this point. In fact, listening to others talk about 4G in their areas feels like a series of short stories, wise tales, and mere fables. I'm probably gonna switch to T-mobile once the GS3 drops next month since they are finally getting a decent phone line up. I'm getting tired of the emasculating feeling of begging my girlfriend for data as she hits the WIFI tether Icon of her Verizon unlimited droid all the while knowing that the 4G option in my notification bar is simply a useless battery draining light.
Ans I thought I had it bad lol. The funny thing is that I can take my tmobile phone ans my sprint phone to the sprint store ans tmo would test at least 2x faster vs sprint on wimax, that's with full bars since they have signal boosters at their stores.

Sprint is becoming a victim of the iPhone own success the way AT&T did when the iPhone first came out. Sprint went from being 4th place in the networks to 1st almost overnight due to having unlimited data and high quality phones. Unfortunately they weren't prepared for it network wise.
I keep getting emails about them building/buying/renting new towers here in Los Angeles, but thus far I haven't seen any quality updates.
My recommendation is to call and complain. Most of the time they'll give you an Airrave for free to keep you as a customer.

I think that sprint lineup is far from being the first.
A lot of people buy in the whole unlimited data thing, that's just how Americans are. Why have limits when you can have unlimited? Those people don't think about speeds, they think that all data is same lol. Sadly, they also usually don't even get close to 2gb, which is the lowest tier cap by competitors.
Yay, I have unlimited. What is it good for when everything takes ages to do? Videos aren't even worth the effort over sprint mobile data. Having a tmo ans a sprint phone side by side, I can buffer a YouTube in 720p on tmo and watch 2 minutes of video before sprint would load same video in sq.

Sprint speeds have been terrible in Houston TX for some time now. my contract is up in September, if LTE doesn't fix things I will be leaving. Been a sprint customer for 13 years!

[Competition] TMobile to bring back TRULY UNLIMITED DATA PLAN

You read the title correctly, tmonews and android central. The question is would you switch to Tmobile for 4G HSPA+ data speeds with no caps or overages. I know im seriously thinking about it. The wait for LTE is killing me.
Hmm no caps or overages but..... What about throttling.....
Never mind looks like it will be un throttled.
http://m.androidcentral.com/t-mobile-ready-offer-completely-unlimited-data
No throttling either.
eh, this is how it starts..they offer unlimited then when you download xyz they cripple it to 10KB/s.
after people complain, they will stop throttling then implement a download cap again.
rinse and repeat.
This will be interesting. I'm now doubting how smart it was to sign a new contract with Sprint. With T-Mobile, you have your choice of Nexus and international phones (*cough*Mi2*cough*). Plus, T-Mobile is about to roll out LTE Advance next year. So basically, the plans and pricing should end up similar to Sprint with a very competitive network, but with a much better selection of phones (counting non-T-Mobile-endorsed Nexi and international phones).
I still have confidence in Sprint's NV/LTE upgrade, and I'm plenty satisfied with my S3 for now, so the next 2 years should be good for me, but this news definitely gives one something to ponder.

My speed test this morning sitting on my porch in the open air with 3 signal bars on 3G.......yes I am STRONGLY considering T-Mobile now.
Sprint sucks and probably always will suck when it comes to data speed.
EDIT: According to the screenshot I had a full signal there smh.

I would make sure t-mobile is good in your area.
One thing that could keep me is that even T-Mo fanboys get mad about the incompetent, outsourced support line. I hate supporting companies that outsource jobs.

I'm in Linden (right next to Elizabeth)....I don't get those speeds all the time I just screencapped it this AM and was using for an excuse to share it....
I don't have a problem with Sprint's speed like I used to WHEN I GET IT. The problem is there are a lot of areas where it either connects only to 1X (inside certain buildings, but other carriers don't have this issue so it isn't the building) or times like in this screenshot where it is displaying a good 3G signal but the data doesn't actually work, it seems stuck.
I wouldn't switch to T-Mo. There speeds have gotten faster but nothing has changed to ease my mind as to their coverage when making calls. I remember I tried them for a week and there were places I got NO signal. No data, no voice.

I'm in the exact same boat. I've been with Sprint for over a decade and I was upset when they took away the Premire Program considering I had just qualified Gold status shortly after they came out with it. I let it slide because even though I don't use a ton of network data, I hate the idea of being kept to a limit and/or being throttled once I get there.
Like you, I'll give Sprint a fair chance here. I'm around the Chicago area, so we're in full blown Network Vision upgrade which has been hit and miss. Some places are great, others are atrocious. If their plans pan out, I'll stick with Sprint, but if not, I'll gladly jump to a GSM carrier for a variety of reasons, especially now that they're going to offer truly unlimited data as well.
if this holds true, im out of here with sprint. screw giving them a chance when were paying $10 for premium data. Dial up speeds are not premium data. hell even if we werent paying $10 a month, id still be considering it. I cant even access internet pages in good 3g areas half the time without having to refresh 4-5 times/ Let alone getting any of the apps to refresh. when I was with t-mobile. I always got 6-12mbps. Who cares that its hspa+. I would wait for LTE, but judging by what ive read, Sprint LTE has alot of connectivity issues as well.
If tmobile starts to offer unthrottled unlimited data and it cripples the network, then ill be in the same boat im already in with sprint. So i really cant lose. Paying these prices for this type of service is not acceptable to me.
Im at my wits end with sprint
I tried Tmobile for a week before canceling during the 15 day period. Speeds outdoors were good, but when I entered buildings I lost service completely. If you switch to Tmobile make sure you test indoors. I went from 5 bars at my desk to zero.
T-Mobile service is good in my area. I might consider it. GSM is better than CDMA anyways. I always liked tmobile. But i think im gonna have to wait until my contract is over.

Lol....I don't think the GPS is actually good enough to lead right to my porch....but either way I don't enable the gps satellites so the location is a bit off. Got very close, but still about 3 blocks off.
EDIT: I was more worried about IP haha, but I'm guessing that info there isn't important.
I'm interested in seeing how this pans out. I just wish it was easier to try out T-Mobile in my area without feeling like a douche if I say no and return everything. (lol)

Supposedly, everything unlimited would be $89.99/Mo. Not sure if that's worth the huge ETF for Sprint, but it's tempting for me, especially since I would pare that down a bit by getting as few minutes as possible.

Let sprint kick you to the curb all you have to do is roam 24/7 sprint will eventually drop you with no etf. That's a option to try. If t mobile didn't want a fee to sign up I would do just that.

T-Mobile 4G Unlimited Throttled

Hey, I just moved to US and bought a T-mobile Galaxy S III with Unlimited 4G.
I rooted the phone and used the APN trick (From WarlockW)
Everything went fine, and I was using the User Agent on Google Chrome (As a Android browser)
The speed was like 5-15 mbps , and now it is like 0.02-0.1 mbps. I know that I used alot of data (something around 14,5gb I guess)
The 4G signal is quite good, and still the same at it was when I got 5-15mbps
Does anybody else have this problem, and what should I do?
Thanks guys, looking forward to some feedbacks
I, too, have been getting "throttled" 4G speeds as of late.
I'm a heavy user (~20-40GB/mo), and I see my 4G get "throttled speed" where my 4G icon shows FULL 1/2 of the month.

A few hours ago signed my life away with T-Mo for two S3's, Are you saying 4G icon and your speeds are full speed for 1/2 the month?
Curious on you on a tethered plan or the new unlimited?

Im on TMO's new unlimited (no data cap) 4G plan. I switched over to TMO the month before they announced their new unlimited 4G. So to say, I was VERY excited.
The first month was fine (september). october, was a little sketchy. for a good week, my data dropped in speed significantly. This month, worst. I can't seem to stay on 4G speeds. Maybe its the rain in my area? Or the influx of new customers jumping into the unlimited plan overloading TMO's traffic? Who knows....
Im close to calling in and asking them why my data is so freakishly slow for the past 2 weeks now...
Definitely call them and complain. And tell them to reset it for you.

I was having the same problem so I called Tmobile. They checked for tickets in my area and within a 10 mile radius, they informed me of the network modernization happening in my area. Go to airportal.de and see if they was any 1900mhz HSPA discovered in your area.
Add me to the list of getting "throttled" watching YouTube on my phone and ran a speed test right before, 220kB/s which is awesome for I don't get 4g here. After about an hour of YouTube it started to buffer like every minute. Ran a speed test and only got 90kB/s and it had to have been me getting throttled. It's happened before and I called and complained they fixed it but now it's starting again. I'm getting really annoyed.

Correct, Tmo offers different plans the tether plan does NOT offer truly unlimited 4G speeds and vice versa if I'm not mistaken: D

I would say lately, I have been using my 4G less since it's getting colder outside, and I'm indoors with wifi. I haven't gotten throttled lately, but I feel that the network has been slower than my normal speeds too. I can't compare to what I had before since I didn't think to save a screenshot from before, but I wonder if having too many people using the service simultaneously also is dropping the speeds.

Hey guys, thought I'd give my input. I'm at 15GB usage this month, both my gf and I are getting 15mbps (par for the course around here).
Maybe they're just temporary dips in service?

I wish they were temporarily dips in service. But I haven't been getting anything CLOSE to 15mbps this month. Just ran a test just now and I got 0.09Mbps. This test was ran after I called customer service and them explaining why:
"Due to your location, it is best to be outside for better data service." [But I have full 4G bars inside the house. I never experienced this for the first month with you guys in my house.] "Im sorry to hear that sir, but like I said, due to the frequencies the towers are giving and the combination of your location being indoors, it is best to be outside for better service." [So to say, I should put my bed OUTSIDE while I browse my data hogging phone?] "I'll fill in a ticket for an engineer to contact you."
Total bee es.
Call and immediately ask to speak to a supervisor, tell them you have full signal but the actual speed is crap and it's not "faster and more dependable" as they claim and ask for a credit on your account for the month. This method landed me $20 off my bill. Good luck!

This is also what happened in my area. They don't throttle the truly unlimited.
For the ones getting throttled do you guys have the true unlimited 30 buck plan?
Also keep in mind during the day and rush hour periods, data will be slow because everyone is getting off work/school
they cannot legally throttle you if they are claiming it and advertising it to be unthrottled, class action law suits up the *** ...... furthermore, it is all coincidence, all of it. if you are on the unlimited 4g, your 4g is exactly that, unlimited, and unthrottled.
i burned through 80 GB of 20 MB/s data last month..... yes, 80......

awesome post, and i thanked you for it. haha
remember a lot of the apps you use will slow you down ...remember to clean your ram...ive done this i blow my brothers iphone 5 away for speed,also hes selling it for a s3.....

I am tried on knocking sprint about their slow data speeds.

I am slowly becoming a fan of sprint's internet speeds. Please check out my signature line for the speed I got on my laptop computer. I am thoroughly impress with the speed I am getting. I was knocking sprint because I was getting faster internet speeds from my home internet but now I am getting faster speeds from my phone internet. If sprint can duplicate this standard everywhere they my have a chance of being the number one cell phone provider one day.
ill continue knocking them for a lack of LTE and unusable speeds on 3G

Best speed I've gotten over the last month was a 422/308 kbps in jersey
I've gotten as low as 20kbps and my highest speed was 800, on average I get 200-300kbps on one phone and 500kbps on the other (samsung sph-a900 and apple iPhone respectively), and ~6months+ ago (for 6 years) I was getting ~1.2mbps with spikes upto 1.5mbps. (And at Lunch/dinner time the speed drops to about half of the average) Have not had a chance to try LTE yet because it's not available here.
I am finally starting to pull some decent speeds. My 3G speeds have been increasing and I get LTE around my area. My prior Wimax phones got no love. Soon as I took the GNII to work, 4G popped up.
Highest I have gotten in my area is 8mbps, slowest about 1.3mbps. On 3G I routinely stay over 500kbps and sometimes in the 1.5mbps around town. All far better than what I used to get.

I was pulling upto 20gb/month a few years ago when I was getting 1.2mbps and avoiding slow WiFi (most of the hotspots around here are 300-600kbps) now that my data speed is 400-600 dep on time and phone I try to use hotspots more and I only pull a couple gb/month at max (though to be fair I use less mobile data overall, for a month I test-drove AT&T and was pulling upto 5mbps on HSPA+ and upto 27mbps on LTE and I still stayed WELL within my 3gb limit (and even really pushing hard to burn though the data at the end of the month by streaming HD videos I barely got to 2.5gb)
Also, just for the record, it's "100gb/month" of data (as per reports on androidforums) for 3G - no idea what the cap is on LTE

Read an article today how boost mobile or virgin mobile is throttling their speed after the user consumes a certain amount of bandwidth.
The speed would be throttled down to 256kbps.
I LOLd. I wish I get 256kbps from sprint.
As an aside, both those networks run atop the sprint network...So they get the same speeds as sprint users.

I have two note 2 phones.
One on sprint the other on solavei. Which is tmobile really.
The solavei phone kills sprint in data speed. Constantly getting 10-15 mbps all day.
Lately my sprint note is to slow for decent test.
I love unlimited data but is it truly unlimited if your connection is piss poor slow?
The solavei plan is Unlimited 4g
Talk text web $60.00 per month taxes included.
No $10.00 per month smartphone fee. I have been a sprint customer for 14 years but for the first time considering leaving.
Even when the lte gets worked out . The data plans will most assuredly change. I just hope they get it together soon.
Bought the fiancé an note 2 also unlocked it threw in solavei sim card and shazam

I hear you on that. I tested out the internet on my ATT iPad3 (HSPA+ and LTE) and I gotta say it's very tempting to switch (Pulled 4-5mbps on HSPA+ and 20-25mbps on LTE) if ATT would offer me a bit more data, like T-Mo does @ 5gb/month (T-Mo reception is **** here) I'd probably switch. There comes a point when you say "if I cant really physically use more than 5gb/month of data, why am I paying for it?" I'm really hoping LTE is as big of a game-changer as Sprint claims (I've seen some impressive speeds posted on HoFo) but given what happened with Sprint's implimentation of WiMAX, I'm not holding my breath...
