G2 HSPA+ speeds ...

**Phil Nickinson** · 09-29-2010, 03:05 PM

Tipster sent this in. Don't know where. Presented as is.

**NoSpin** · 09-29-2010, 03:25 PM

Jeez, but I assume that's due to there being pretty much 1 person on the HSPA+ network? Impressive though, hurry up UPS!!!

**hawonjung** · 09-29-2010, 03:37 PM

Woah. Crazy.

**remixfa** · 09-29-2010, 05:18 PM

for once being a first adopter will be an advantage not a disadvantage as ur getting pretty much an entire bandwith section to yourself. I wonder how long that will last though and what speeds will be like when theres lots o HSPA+ phones on Tmobile. Got quite a few months before that happens though, so enjoy.

**fatboy97** · 09-29-2010, 05:24 PM

Combine this HSPA+ speed, and the processor speed test... this device is moving up on my chart for a November upgrade.

**Lockeskidney** · 09-29-2010, 06:10 PM

waiting for speedtest.net results

**caliskimmer** · 09-29-2010, 06:22 PM

..bu, bu, but how? Is it really due to having only a few users? Do you guys think that the speed will go down after more users start using HSPA+?

**cltatenza** · 09-29-2010, 10:24 PM

Aren't most current TMo 3G user supposed to be able to reap the HSPA+ benefits as well?

**Lockeskidney** · 09-29-2010, 10:53 PM

found this on xda

**Lockeskidney** · 10-01-2010, 12:07 PM

Yeah, I think t-mobile's 3G phones use HSPA including the G1. The chip on them (G1s) won't let it go faster than 7.2 Mb/s but the G2 has a max of 14.4Mb/s.

So it's not a new network it is connecting to. It just has a chip that allows it to take full advantage of the speed the network allows.

**NoSpin** · 10-03-2010, 03:47 PM

That's the max I've gotten so far. On the phone itself, is there any way to tell whether you are on 3G or HSPA+? They both just use "H" on the notification bar.

apparently its going to read H no matter what you are getting (wel unless its edge)

**rawvega** · 10-03-2010, 09:49 PM

Or GPRS... :o

**culture585#ac** · 10-05-2010, 09:45 PM

my G2 loads full website pages very fast.

**Lockeskidney** · 10-05-2010, 11:42 PM

went to a tmobile storetoday and got on a webconnect rocket 2.0 stick in Miami, FL. very disappointing. This area is supposed to be HSPA+

confused i went over the vibrant and pulled these

when i was on my evo i was pulling this consistently

**GearSecond** · 10-06-2010, 01:20 PM

I just got my G2 a couple of hours ago and the speed test in the store was around 1.79 down and .56 up. After getting home I tried the speed test again and got this:

**egginator** · 10-06-2010, 05:48 PM

Hell, that's faster than my home internet connection! I pull 181 kb/s because I live in an area that has been abandoned by ISPs (Queens, New York). T_T

Yeah I hate the upload speed I'm stuck with on Time Warner Cable here in Queens. If I have a strong enough indoor signal once 4G becomes official here I think I'll be uploading pics and videos with my EVO. lol.

**outrun** · 10-23-2010, 10:04 PM

These are my speeds with the mytouch3gslide. I want the g2 bad but not sure about the speeds. I had put that these were hspa speeds but have since heard they are not.

**carlosrey23** · 10-23-2010, 11:09 PM

Well I live in South Florida, where we are supposed to already have HSPA+. I live in Pembroke Pines to be exact. I have gotten 1.8 to 2.8 very frequently, but I have also reached 6.65 Dn and 1.7 Up.

I average 3.3 overall, here are some details:
Avg DL Avg Up Counts
Cell 3.30 1.42 38.00
Utms 1.85 1.01 12.00
Wifi 4.20 5.03 1.00

A couple tests in a row on a G2:
5749 kbit down / 697 kbit up
4405 kbit down / 616 kbit up
3736 kbit down / 613 kbit up
3853 kbit down / 614 kbit up
4812 kbit down / 599 kbit up
4018 kbit down / 602 kbit up

There is moderate amounts of rain falling outside during the test and there are a fair number of trees around - the leaves and branches get wet and there is a lot of water in the air and that tends to attenuate the signal. I've seen as high as about 7 mbit.

My friend has the G2 here in NYC and he's gotten as high as 9/1.5 but usually averages what you just showed.
