Awesome speedtests on here. What's so nice is the HSPA+21/LTE combo. When I'm not in LTE I get 9-10mbps which is more than enough lol. Anything greater than 10mbps is just icing on the cake. ;-)

Just a totally nooby question here, but how do you tell what speeds you're getting 'up' and what you're getting 'down'? :confused:
Where do you see those spec's on your phone? I don't even know what gen of radio cell signal I'm getting; my S3 just shows 'AT&T' over in the far left corner of the notif. bar. Occasionally it will show 4G over by the strength-of-signal bars, but I don't think I've ever seen a 3G or 2G icon up in the notif. bar. Again, most of the time, it shows the 'AT&T' over at the far left side of the notif. bar. How do you know when your on the AT&T HSPA+ signal?

If I go to: Settings > More settings > Mobile Networks > Access point names > . . all that shows up is 'AT&T PTA'. What does that mean? :confused: That I'm getting my cell signal from some schools Parent Teacher Association . . or what?!?! :confused: lol

U can see the speeds from an app called speedtest. The app is in the play store.

AT&T is very bad with displaying a connection status. For example, when on 3G it will still say "4G" despite being on the UMTS network (3G network). I don't know how the stock rom displays 2G. It might say that or EDGE which is the same thing. If your in a 4G LTE market it will say "4G LTE" in the indicator.

You'll need to flash a custom rom if you want to toggle network modes. AT&T does not allow you to force it into EDGE or HSPA+ on the stock rom, which sucks.

I think it shows an E when on EDGE, not 100% sure I have not saw it yet, but that is what it shows on most other phones when on EDGE.

I've in Tacoma, WA. And LTE just went live here. It's been up north in Seattle since I got my S3.

Pulling these speeds at work right now outside of The Woodlands just north of Houston. This is why my phone has to have LTE!

Add a simple APN and it will force it to 3G in AT&T.
