To my fellow New Yorkers (Slow Data Speeds)

I think due to the recent storms in NY. Something went wrong and data speeds are very slow.
Just spoke with tmobile and got this:

I'm in Bensonhurst and have been getting steady 4 bars of 4G until about a week ago. Tonight, it's been switching between 4G and G all night. I'm not even getting 2G. The quality of T-Mobile's service is definitely slipping.

yup my speeds are horrible.

I usually get around 7-9 Mbps with ease but I'm only getting 3-4 Mbps now.

7-9 Mbps??? Lucky you. I rarely get over 2 Mbps!

i was getting over 5 mbps and now barely getting 1 mb

Where the heck do you live? I live in Queens and I'm lucky if I reach 3Mbps on a good day. Even when I'm in the city I don't get that speed.

Jamaica Hills in Queens. Weird to see such a disparity...

I normally get like 3-5 mbs when im @ my sisters house in the bronx. when im in manhattan it varies 5-8 in the area of 68 and park mid-town the highest i got was like 6. and right now im upstate ny in the mid-hudson valley and i only gettin maybe 1 to 1.5.

Usually when I'm at work (Harlem) I get like 1-1.5Mbps. At home on avg 2.5Mbps. I updated my radio and RIL today so ill be doing some tests later.

3.6 mbps in the Bronx
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App

After installing the 2.3.4 update, my download speeds decreased from 2 mbps to 0.4 mbps, and the upload speeds decreased from 1.6 mbps to about 0.6 mbps.
Update: It's not caused by the update. I just ran a speed test on my wife's G2 and got the same results. It appears that there is a 4G outage.

U sure its not cuz of this storm? I just update to 2.3.4 and havent tried doing any bandwidth testing yet. but I constantly had around 6-7 megs and i'm also in the bronx

Sprint- Houston 3G Speeds, wtf?

Is this just my phone, or is this real life?
NS4G, cannot get over 200kbps.

That sucks, dude. I'd talk to Sprint if I was you.
This was my last one:
I'm in Utah.

That's impressive.
Sprint just said there was an "outage" in Houston.

Yea it sucks here in Wilmington. But in the last half hr got a little better. I believe the towers are over tapped out. They let to many other low cost carriers use their equipment that bog that is for premium customers. Once again the unlimited data of low cost carriers is killing the sprint network.

I'm honestly lucky if I see over 250 Kbps no matter where I go with my phone.
I've never broken 1 Mbps, ever, on Sprint 3G.

Blame the iPhone, Houston's 3G was fine until that giant POS came out and ruined everything.

I consider my 3G "working well" if I hit 200k in Dayton, Ohio. Sprint had also promised 4G in Dayton by the end of December 2010....I'm still waiting.
Cincy and Columbus have excellent 4G coverage - I hit almost 11mb down while at a Bengals game a while back - then I return home to my 150-200k speeds

There is activity! A 2-3 mile strip along I-75 has working LTE. It's slow (about 3Mbps down) and there's not much, but it's a start!
My office is right next to 75 near the Stanley Ave exit and I get decent 4G reception indoors. Also working at Needmore Rd close to 75.

Holy crap. I've seen around 30 Mbps in the Boston area. But 50 Mbps is ridiculous. Better be careful, at that speed the doors might get blown off your house!

I get around the same speed in Atlanta, depending on my location.
I hardly notice a difference in browsing moving between my phone and computer...it truly is amazing.

was there any telltale signs that it was coming? My phone keeps getting stuck on edge and I'm told that means the network is being worked on in my area so maybe...

Gunny I was on cm9 and it said 4g instead of h+. Went ahead and switched to cleanrom because I'm leaving for my honeymoon and boom there was a little lte under the 4g. Now I'm about to drive away from it but its for a good reason

Welcome to the above 50mbps club
I've been getting consistent 54mbps here. Its utterly insane.

I hate all of you. :-D

Depending on location the highest I got was 55 Mbps downloading in the New Orleans area, 25 Mbps uploading.

That's crazy! I was in Nashville last night at Zanies and I was getting 15 to 16 down with 10 up and I thought that was blazing!

What good is speed when one could only use 3gb a month? I've been on the sideline thinking of switching to At&t but I'm fearful 3gb just isn't enough. I like to stream radio during the day, watch about 5 Netflix movies a week and watch one game a night of MLB baseball using the AT-bat app. Could someone tell me just how much use you get out of 3gb? Will I go over it with my usage?

I remember when I got LTE, I had one of those "**** just got real" moments

Unless you must absolutely do those things on LTE; you would be fine. On LTE, you'll blow off 3 gb on just 4-5 netflix movies alone.

Any of you Nashville folk been to Antioch to see how the LTE coverage is there? I won't be home for a couple of months, but I hope I'll have some speedyness when I'm not stuck at school at day

i barely get 5mpbs here with lte depending where i go, its from 4-20

Data speeds in Orlando, FL very good.

These are the speeds I'm pulling in Orlando. They are better than AT&T's LTE speeds!

Good to know! I will be visiting Orlando in November for a concert/my vacation so good to know I will be getting excellent speeds. I plan on uploading tons!

We'll be at Disney in late November and I was curious what coverage would be like so this is good to know. Thanks!

Not that very good coverage in the Anaheim area. I was there in summer a couple of months ago. You should expect speeds around 6-7. :thumbup:

Those are great speeds. I envy you guys in 4mb areas. I think it is pathetic that TMO keeps advertising their great 4g network when many cities of a million people and less still don't have it. And, how I can get 6mb dl's in my driveway and then step in my house and have only edge downstairs with a little improvement upstairs. Definitely need to look for another carrier in February. All IMHO--

I too had to dump tmo due to poor coverage. I am in a 42 mbps area and got awesome speeds. But several times per week I'd be somewhere getting no service whatsoever, while my wife sitting beside me was getting full bars of 3g on AT&T. I decided the awesome speeds were not worth the poor coverage.
On the bright side, if you SIM unlock the one S it works just fine on AT&T 3g.

I heard a tiny bit of rumbling in another thread about the Note 5 having poor 4G LTE speeds, and figured we could share our results! This is from Lynn Haven, FL.

In NYC the speeds outside are between ~20-70Mbps (just from my experience). Considering the density of wireless users that's rather good, and underground connectivity is reliable.

Man. That's some crazy good speeds. Here in Denver, CO the average speed is 1-4 mbps during peak hours on LTE, 10-20mbps during peak hours on HSPA+. Non-peak times for LTE is 15-30 mbps, non-peak times for HSPA+ 25-30 mbps. I don't even bother using LTE anymore here in Colorado. Too many people moving to this state.

About twenty minutes north of New Orleans.

I understand the download/upload weren't that good but was the cell signal good in Miami? I ask because I'm thinking of switching from ATT to TMO.

The one posted earlier was before the update. This is the latest update.

Most I have seen is 120 but average between 80-90 consistently. Uploads speeds are consistent what you see there.
