G2 HSPA+ speeds ...

[Phil Nickinson]

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

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

 

[hawonjung]

Woah. Crazy.

 

[remixfa]

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.

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

waiting for speedtest.net results

 

[caliskimmer]

..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]

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

 

[Lockeskidney]

found this on xda

 

[Lockeskidney]

according to this guys video the G1 is getting faster speeds than his G2. hmmmm

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]

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)

Or GPRS...

my G2 loads full website pages very fast.

 

[Lockeskidney]

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]

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]

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.

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.
