Post your 4G(lol) data speeds (Atrix only)

I'm getting an average of 2.5mbps down and 385kbps up in middle of nowhere Oklahoma. This download speed is 3 times better than I was getting on my iPhone 4(1mbps average) but I haven't had it for a few weeks so something could have changed.
 
Columbus, OH supposedly fully "4G" ready.

1323 down, 170 up <-Inside ATT Store
1661 down 88 up <-Outside the store
620 down 150 up <-Today inside my work which uses repeaters

jesus christ dude.

Hey have you tried the APN trick? you should try it and let us know, since you're in the 4G area.
 
I'm getting about 1/4th the speeds I got with my N1. In Orlando, FL got around 2-3mbps with N1, getting about .3-.5mbps with Atrix. Weird thing is, things do seem to load faster with the N1, not just rendering either, it almost seems as if the speed tests are just wrong. I dunno. When I go to Network on About Phone it says HSDPA.

I am sorry but your post does not make sense....

They way I understand it is that the N1 is testing 4x faster in regards to downloads, and is faster overall in rendering web pages. Also, the Atrix's download tests seem slow, despite connection to an HSDPA network.
 
Sorry, I was in a rush so I just spit out a bunch of words. When it comes to speedtests the N1 is much faster, getting speeds from 2-3 mbps. While I am only getting about .3-.5 mbps on the atrix, the atrix loads much faster than my N1. Th only thing im really upset about on the phone are the data speed.

Im willing to bet that is with wifi on. No way your getting over 1mb up, HSUPA is off. Have you rooted your phone?

Here is mine with my nexus one and my wifes iphone 4 as comparison all in the same spot on the counter in Arlington Tx.

Nexus One on 3g

0.17/1.17
0.18/0.75

i'm getting about the same speeds over here in rowlett/garland area. averaging around 3.3 down and .25-.3 up.

Wowza...that's some sad 3G speed you got for the N1 there :/ is that NORMAL for you? :confused: Well the Atrix is def an improvement over the N1 if you're noticing like a 15000x speed :D lol

my first thought was that he was running a Nexus One made for TMobile AWS 3g and not the 850/1900 AT&T version.

I've used an AT&T 3g compatible Nexus One in the same area as him and was getting around 2 mbps down
 
I haven't speed tested mine but I tested the one at my AT&T store and it averaged 2.5-3.5 Mbps down and .3 up. Mine is charging and I will post some screenshots later
 
Coming from an iPhone 4, right here in the same room. Activated the new Atrix and my Speeds are Twice as slow, almost 3 times slower.. it's amazingly slow data speeds. Tried the APN trick and that didn't do a thing.. =/

Not Rooted...no Wi-Fi. The only thing I can think was that it was the time of night with very little use on the network. I just ran the test again again sitting at my desk and I am gettting the following:

1.41 MBPS Down
.46 MBPS Up
Ping 147 ms

The phone definitely feels slower today. But even today - it is worlds faster than my old Blackberry Storm!

I tested a store model and my iPhone 4 side to side and they both had similar speeds overall...

I wonder if they did something to the store model?

I'm getting around 130-150 Kbps UPLOAD speeds, and around 800 Kbps download, and i've never once EVER seen these kinds of speeds before, the last time i saw speeds like this i was on T-Mobile.
 
Also i had 4 DIFFERENT Apn Settings already put in my phone right when i booted it up, did you guys see the same thing?

interesting, i set my atrix and my coworkers iphone 4 side by side, set the server to the same on both and consistently got about 1200 kbps down 300 kbps up on the atrix and about the opposite 300kbps down 1200kbps up on coworkers phone. Both inside our office in his window cube with 2 bars signal. Raleigh, NC btw.
 
Speed tests w/ 4G, less than impressive IMHO

Atrix 4G - wifi off
2782 down 342 up ping 481
1531 down 272 up ping 310
3244 down 327 up ping 315
3017 down 340 up ping 492

Nexus One - Wifi off
2995 down 1293 up ping 147
3258 down 1310 down ping 139
236 down 957 up ping 171 (poor location and time I think)
385 down 712 up ping 172
309 down 1272 up ping 170

Interesting, at least the phone itself is super speedy.

Just curious are these test done outside or indoors cause my iPhone gets 4.4down outside and I am looking into an Atrix but if that's the 4G....sheesh..
 
Chicago, IL (server in Milwaukee, WI)
4.67mbps down
0.34 mbps up

ping 679ms


4.97 mbps down
0.34 mbps up
