Data on my new phone is faily slow. I live in Lancaster PA zip code 17601 which is mild to densely populated and every other carrier is super fast. Verizon i consistantly get over 1mbps, att i can get about 3-4mpbs on my brothers iphone 4g, and sprint which i had before this i can get over 1mpbs and up to 8mpbs when i switch to 4g on my epic.
But i switch to tmobile to get this phone in particular and i got 500k at best with a great signal outside my house? Typically its 100-200k at best with a good signal and for some reason my upload speed is higher at about 362kpbs?????
I also think it's stupid how tmobile labels it as switching from 2g to 4g with no intermediate 3g in between. Even at 3g my data speeds are typically 2g, and at 2g my internet almost doesn't work at all at 9kpbs.
Is tmobiles data network that crappy? Or is there something wrong with my phone? The coverage map says i should have 3g data at my house and 4g down the street 5 mins. I can't get good data at all anywhere around my area it seems?
I just got this phone and have no mods and just proven popular apps so far. Only a couple, and have owned 3 android phones before this.
