Just curious what some of you Rogers users ( and some other lte users on other carriers in Canada) are getting for your LTE throughputs on your S3's?
Rogers used to pretty poor at first launch but I must say that now they have vastly improved and I'm now averaging 30-45mbps in the GTA with peaks in the mid 50's!
Very happy about it..now I just wish they would expand their coverage for lte just a bit cuz it ends two blocks from my new house!
Post your speed test results if u like.

I'm with bell on a GSIII and my girlfriend is with Rogers on HTC One X. I get a maximum of about 25mbps and she got around 30mbps last night. Indoors we typically only get HSPA+, LTE is mostly outside or in the car. We live along the Lake Shore, east of Park Lawn.
I usually get 40+mbs at the minimum. Very happy with a 6 gb plan

Yeah, I'm hoping they expand the network quickly, I don't get any coverage where I am (approx. 2h north of the GTA). Though it does help my battery life
I'm pulling about 7mb/s with HSPA+
Im on Bell and generally hit 25-30 down around the gta... have hit high 40s a few times...
I'm in Vancouver and the speed is quite amazing as I got 45ish Mbps at home. 25-30 Mbps at office or at the restaurants.
It outruns my home network by almost 3 times.......
I'm on telus in toronto and getting 50+ as well on LTE and 40-50 on hspa+ (which i prefer)

In Toronto I have been averaging around 25mbps on LTE. My fastest so far has been 49mbps. I can't believe how many of you are consistently getting over 40mbps with speeds breaking 50mbps! I guess Rogers has already achieved some congestion in TO.
Yeah exactly what I'm thinking. I've tried rolling back to stock ROM (from CM 10) to see if that would improve the speed, but no affect.
Not that it affects anything I do on a daily basis, but it's still annoying

Good point! We are comparing speed results that make no difference to how one's device functions (unless one is heavy downloading on the network). I try to download very large files through WiFi only to conserve my previous data.
But yeah, good speed test numbers are cool.

wow, you can get 40ish Mbps on HSPA+ on telus???? I didn't know they are that good??? isn't the theoretical max speed on HSPA 42Mbps???
In Calgary I get on average 16 down, and 4 up. It was only recently lauched here so assuming it will get better (not complaing, this is SO fast). It's better than our old Optik with Telus on a wired computer, lol.
Was using Stock when I did last speedtest.
Using ROGERS Wireless
I'm in Richmond Hill area.. My LTE connection is not exactly stable, sometimes it would just jump back to 3G...
On LTE get around 25-40 mbps down, and 5-10 mbps up
Once it goes back to HSPA, I get around 5-8 mbps (this is pretty slow)...
I too got the $30 6GB plan promo a few weeks ago.. ^_^

Weird since our phone only has 21mbps hspa modem. Screen shots to show those kind of speeds on hspa? Seems kind of impossible to me. No offense. Normally you see 40-50 on LTE. I'm thinking you meant 4-5mbps on hspa+

Hey everyone, I recently got a new Android phone, Samsung galaxy s2x, it should have dual 4g capabilities. The speed isn't great compared to what others have been getting. I usually get around 3-4mbps, the Telus website says 7-14 should be attained...
My question is basically, in the wireless options, I can choose gsm, wcdma or both. Is wdcma considered hspa+ ?
I live in Montreal, where the Telus network should be fully developed. Highest speed I've got was 6mbps.
Anything wrong, or were my expectations too high when buying this phone?

there are some from Montreal they are getting great speed
the thing is with cell phones, it depends highly in your location and tower
also in Canada do not believe anything that says 4G it's all fake
our infrastructure is poor compared to the USA, at best we can only get good 3G speed even when you see 4G
even the Rogers LTE are no where near as good they also top out around 15 Mbps at its best, while the USA or other counterparts they get like 30 Mbps on LTE
So i'm stuck with slow speeds lol?
I kinda regret going with Telus, they have terrible reception as well as slow speeds...

I just tested mine and I got 19 down and 4 up on Telus. Most days I get an average of 10. I live outside of Vancouver. Downtown I am lucky to get 3.
Telus has always given me faster speeds than Rogers. I am very happy with Telus's network.

I think you are just not tech savy enough to use a cell like the S2X. Try doing a speed test in your browser and you will see that the speed test.net app is crap. I get 21 mbps downlink on telus in mtl using speedtest.net in dolphin HD (using app I get 3-10mbps). Stop blaming the carriers. People like you are just never happy but its your own fault! Maybe also if you would test your phone outside your basement it would help! Mtl reception is flawless, actually reception in QC in general is great.
I have tried all the different modems from the kj3, vk1 and even the Blaze LB7 and different roms and I still get miserable speed on my phone. I have many friends with different phones even 3G phones that are doing alot better. I am getting speeds of less than 300 k downlaod with with full bars.

I think some people had similar problems as you. I don't remember exactly but some workarounds are using the supercharger script and running those 3g scripts or whatever it's called.
Someone if i recall correctly couldn't get fast data at all, he opted for a warranty exchange and that fixed it for him.
If anything you could try making your own thread in the Q&A area and maybe those people who had similar problems can answer it for you. Obviously it's not because of your location because your friends' phones get fast speed in the same location

i had to get an at&t phone for work so now im packing 2 sgs2's i mix them up so much and no i didnt get the craptacular skyrocket i got the i777 which is the i9100 branded for at&t
Yeah those numbers seem pretty much what I get. Every once in awhile ill be lucky and see 2MB on 3g but its rare.
I'm three blocks from Times Square on New Years Eve. I would have thought with all the crowds today speed would be way down, but:
3G: Ping 84ms Download 2120kbps Upload 850kbps
4G was a little slow however:
4g: Ping 114ms Download 8836kbps Upload 1513kbps
wow... I'm blown away by everybody here.
I'm in central long island (melville for the locals) and around here I average about 100kbps... never ever see above 150
at home, I use wifi and roam control because I've got nothing going on over there. so all of you should feel lucky
clarification: this is real life use. speedtest app says I avg 800kbps but I've never seen that happen
After flashing EL26 modem, my 3g increased to 1360kbps down/ 720 up. Before I was averaging 800 down/ 300up. So far this modem has given me the highest speeds out of all the modems. Even 4g speeds are higher and more consistent. Ping times are slower than previous modems, but speeds are faster. Go figure. I'm in D/FW area here.

Flashed the el26 modem and its hard to believe but my speeds have more than doubled. no more need to switch to wifi at the house.
There has been discussion, but has anyone found the magic formula? I know many people say the modem is completely independent of the ROM. But others have made the argument that data speeds are married to both.
So, what is your ROM/Kernel/Modem combination and data speeds as well as your location?
I'm in North San Diego County on AOKP B34 ROM, FD24 KERNEL, and FD19 modem. This is not a very good marriage. But Sprint 3G speeds in San Diego suck, have sucked, and probably will suck for the immediate future. Best DL speeds have been 800 kb/s and uploads at around 200 kb/s.
Modems work different for every phone..so there is no "magic combination" sorry =(

Its probably a PA thing. Sprint has been horrible in San Diego. Every metro area has 4G except San Diego. But even AT&T 3G is 10 times faster than Sprints 3G.
I had unlimited plan and left AT&T because they throttled me. But, even when they throttled me, it was faster than Sprint.

Take this with a grain of salt, but I know a well ranked agent who is pretty close with a certain "Tiffany" who some of you may have heard of, and supposedly the Phila switch is going to be flipped sometime in the third week of August. Don't get your hopes too high because there are bound to be hiccups along the way, but I'm sure I'll hear more as we move into August. CANT WAIT!!!

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747
Metro areas that had "sufficient" 3G coverage were automatically skipped through the first and sometimes second pass of LTE implementation.
Squeakiest wheels got the grease first, is what I've heard and read.
Incidentally, don't be too upset about this, as LTE (from personal experience) has not been all that great anyway. I've been in Chi, Miami/Ft.Laud, DC and Baltimore and only in one of those markets (frigging Baltimore of all places!!) was I getting better than 11Mbps down and better than 6Mbps up (i got 17Mbps down, 10Mbps up). Both DC and Miami/Ft.Laud were marginally slower than my home WiFi which is typically around 10Mbps down and 6Mbps up, and Chicago was absolutely pathetic all three times I've been there since Feb, coming in roughly on par with Philly-area HSPA+/4G.
Incidentally, my experience has been with this phone as well as my Note i717, both top-end devices.
Plus, remember that even a strong LTE signal (let alone a weak one, god forbid....) will drain the piss out of your battery, a heck of a lot quicker than good old fashioned HSPA+.
Just my $.02.

are you using the google play Speedtest.net APP? you have the Dual Core Galaxy? What Modem you using. If you guys can test RIGHT NOW let me know your speeds in TORONTO
LOL.
The speed of your LTE is going to depend on a few things. Your signal strength, and current network traffic. It will vary throughout the day; the speed is only relative. Each phone that can support LTE will have, theoretically, the same speed range. The only difference will be where you are, how far from the network towers, etc.
If your phone is getting 19kbps, then it sounds like there's actually a problem. If your phone is rooted, flash back to stock touchwiz and double check. If there is still a problem, call to make sure that your account isn't throttled or something, and that there aren't any network issues locally.
Edit: I see you said you're getting 17mbps. Why is this a problem? That speed tells me that your network is working, but probably having traffic issues. 17mbps is not slow in any way, so why even complain.
Rogers rep? More like Apple rep.

Lmao the first guy you talked to is tryin to sell iPhones. I just checked and there's nothing about that officially in any of the Rogers customer rep sheets. Realistic speeds are 15-25mb/sec.

I have seen 56mbps in scarborough
I reckon you've been bamboozled by this representative. A few people on Rogers have refuted your claim. It seems like it could be something to do with your phone or your location.
If actual representatives are telling you you're being throttled to half speed all the time though, then you should seize this opportunity. Tell them you only want to pay half the price and threaten to switch to Bell or something.

I usually get around 30-49 in Vancouver area (GVRD).
I tested right now and got 46Mbps. Yes, I'm with Rogers running Rogers' i747m with Bell's Jelly Bean leaked ROM.

Yep, Google Play Speedtest.net App on a Rogers i747M. I'm running the pre-rooted stock rom from Mr. Robinson. I didn't fiddle around with modems or kernels.

One thing I have learned over the years is that the majority of cell phone company reps (there are exceptions) don't have a clue about what they are talking about! Here is my fastest, on Rogers, Sept 22, 2012. I was so amazed I saved it!

Hey David Dee,
yup I can confirm, I clocked 64mbps DL.
Typically, I get around 15-25 in the areas I most go to.
But there are some good spots where I get between 40-60.
FOLKS...when testing with apps like speedtest.net, change servers and retest. Network congestion isn't just wireless user congestion, it's also the network path to the testing server....after the tower receives your signal.
