Post your 4G speeds on your Sensation!!! This is the fastest I've ever gotten.



I also want to clarify that I have the Preferred Android Web plan with 5GB of data and its not 4G however I am perfectly able to take advantage of high speeds. YOU DO NOT NEED A 4G WEB PLAN TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HIGH SPEEDS.

I wonder why tmo keeps calling it 4g AFAIK it's just enhanced 3g verizon has true 4gLTE and Sprint's WiMax is kinda weird in the middle of 3g/4g ......FWIW if you look at your sensation signal status, it will go from 4g to 2g...NEVER 3g....just a thought....



oh and I'm using an Even More Plus plan with unlimited data (read: throttled at some point don't remember when though) and txt and 750 minutes....


one last thing, how did you post your Sensation speed test on here? thanks!

[biggbrother2]

The fastest I have gotten was Download 8085 kbps and Upload 1651 kbps, Ping 75ms, Hsdpa, Boston Server, in Providence on 6/20/11.

I can't do one now because I'm throttled until the 27th. Actually, let me run one for the hell of it... wow.. I got Download 6133 kbps and Upload 1581 kbps , ping 102ms. Not bad. I thought I was throttled since I received the text from T-mobile.

How did you get the link to post your test results here? I can only e-mail mine to myself. But I can't find an embed link in the Speedtest app.

I did it via tethering. I plugged my phone in and then ran a speedtest via my computer browser and then it gave me the option to share it. Its the same thing since the connection is coming from your phone. I then got the same results running the speedtest on my phone. Numbers were exact but pretty damn close. E.g 9.60mbps PC, 9.43mbps phone

Best I've had


(FYI: you can get the image by going to results, click the test, click the little mail icon in the upper right, then select gmail and you'll see a url)

[Shroomster]

@matt : I figured you tethered it thanks for response

@kanoravan : wasn't sure it would work like that so I never tried...thanks I'm going to do it and add it to this post

Meh this is not the best but its about average where I am right now

Which means absolutely nothing. The lack of a 3G signal indicator is a non-starter argument. HSPA+, especially in its higher ranges (which T-mobile is currently deploying) is JUST as fast as Verizon's LTE implementation. I've seen speeds on T-mobile's HSPA+ that were BETTER than anything I saw on LTE.

Oh, and FYI: Verizon's LTE doesn't qualify as 4G either. LTE-Advanced does, but that isn't finalized yet.

Really? I'm pushing 40 mbps DL on my Charge and 7ish up. I haven't seen near that on either sensation i've tried.
Trying to decide if i wanna make the switch. Sensation is an amazing device. Absolutely love it. But not sure I can give up verizon LTE

Live in a suburb of Boston getting on average between 6.5 - 12MB download and pretty consistent 1.6 up. My download speeds are a very strong 7 - 8.5 MB during the day and after 5:30 pm my download speeds climb. How can you not be happy with those numbers??? Just as good and sometimes better then Verizon's LTE network. Damn I will miss what I think is the best Carrier in the country. Damn you AT&T. Just when T-Mobile gets their HSPA+ Network where it should be they decide to pack it in.

You kinda repeated what I said, lte is 4g, and right it is still infantile. But I wasn't trying to argue a point about anything, I was just lol'ing about it being '4g' but when its in hsdpa it still shows up as 4g no 3g signal symbol on the notification screen

I agree. the sensation looks wonderful.. but I get on average around 20mbs down and 4mbs up on vzw's 4g LTE with my Tbolt. I just dont think I could give up the speed.

[jam34]

8.88 down 1.68 up just replaced my evo today where prayed to get 3 mbs down love sensation so far ..but this phantom vm notification sucks

[crxssi]

I tested around 8Mb/s last week on my Evo 4G/Sprint, but that is not an area where I live. Today I got the Evo 3D (yay!!!) Have no 4G where I live.... yet.... still.... (no carrier does).

Except LTE isn't 4G. LTE Advanced is. They're two different things.HSPA+ and LTE are comparable right now, and not too much different.

You don't notice a difference on the handset. You would with tethering, but not on the actual phone.

[Missy101]

This is on WiiMax. Sprint HTC Evo 4G. Also now i get ~1.5Mbps up now.

[tyvallely]

No us carrier has true 4G

Did you edit the wikipedia page so you can make yourself feel better? Just kiddn! Open-mindly I have to say though Verizon does have the fastest and closest to real 4G. If you look at the maps VZW has the best 4G coverage and the fastest speed.

[MOTOX2]

These are pretty slow speeds. Almost nearly every time i get 18.485-19.5 down and anywhere's from 9-12 up. With a 75 ping. In Parkland, FL. Its near coral springs.

Completely not. I get 18 down and 12 up...75 ping. You guys get below 10 it seems mostly so yah big difference when your streaming movies, etc.

I wasn't talking about speeds on the sensation, I was talking hspa+ speeds in general. At the upper end it and lte are almost identical.

I've seen 18 down on a galaxy s 4g. I've also gotten the ceiling of the sensation of 14 down. Also, my pings haven't gone higher than 60. (Usually right around 52)

I have to ask... what exactly are you people downloading on your phones that require anything over 21mbps??? YouTube videos stream fine over 1mbps. I mean if your downloading huge files then I can understand but this is actually why carriers are eliminating unlimited data plans. Honestly, 5mbps is plenty for me. I can't see paying $110/mo for an individual line with Verizon.

[williamthegoat]

LTE can get too 300mbs, theoretically. HSPA+ can do about 100mb. Not the same peak.
