Wait, so their 3g is going to be faster than the 4g they offer in most cases? lol
i told u i told u i told u
Awesome...didn't know anything about this
Thanks Op for the info
Thanks for the info, but will it roll out like 4g? Very slow time wise...couple years, limited area coverage? Guess we will have to wait till October 7. Sometimes I hate sprint.
He got it wrong that guy all 4g phone support evdo rev b and evo 3d and epic touch support evdo 3d and do advance nextwork and speeds of evdo rev b is 9 mps down and 5 mps up unless sprint caps the speeds only and do advance hits 14 mps down and 5 mps up

hmm, weird, it coincides with the expected release of the iphone 5.
my guess: iPhone 5 on sprint will be 3.5g (rev b) rather than 4g. I have my doubts that apple will create a LTE and a wimax 4g phone, especially since the rumors are pointing to one iphone model, that works all over the world.
In terms of what this means to me, awesome! I hope itll actually work though, my current speeds are well below 3g or even 2g.
Interesting, but all still just rumor that may well have started just in forums. Not saying it's not true, but taking it with a grain of salt until something more official comes around.
That said, what the last poster brought up about the iphone possibly having Rev B support makes sense. It would put Sprint more in line with 4G from other carriers (and beating their 3G), and assuming the iphone doesn't come with LTE, a leg up even.

well thats potential speed. Keep in mind the potential speed of wimax is like 100 mbps, meanwhile the fastest it can usually get is around 8. I figure maybe if they go to rev b i can sqeeze out a whole 100 kbps, lol. sprint blows in this area.

same here except i dont even have 3g around my house anymore. been on 1x since wednesday yet sprint continues to say theres nothing wrong with the towers in my area and that its my phones. sorry sprint but i dont believe all 3 of my phones and tablet just suddenly crapped out on the same day to use only 1x and only in the areas around my house. 2 miles down the road there back on 3g.
I knew I wasn't going crazy!! Same here!!
I was pulling 50-150kbps usually and I noticed my 3G data was going in and out like mad so I talked to the dudes at Best Buy and they said they'd been having issues with their Sprint phones and activating them. Turns out they found out that Sprint's been messing with the towers in my area and have been working on getting 4G brought to my city, and now my data speeds are INSANE.
On 3G yesterday I pulled 960 kbps with Speedtest, and consistently pull 500-800kbps. Definitely kicking ass now.
Just did a speed test, this is absolute garbage. I am getting 88 kbps download. What the hell am I suppose to do with that? And how is this not grounds for getting out of your contract for free? I rather have a data cap but usable 3G speeds.
I've had better.. but this is the norm.
Speeds are getting better but when will sprint get a power house device like the amaze... I mean we do have the S3 processor but if this thing could record in 1080p with a 2mp ffc and 8mp rear camera all would be good. I don't understand why they don't aim to completely top the last device...

i have noticed a huge jump in 3G as well... out here in sacramento CA. i stay up pretty late, and the last few weeks at odd hours of the night my network speeds will just take a dive or cut out entirely for several hours. then it's right back in the morning.
i have also noticed i am getting 4g in more areas. i used to always have to turn my 4g antenna off while on my way to work because it would cut out... now i get solid reception on my way to work when on wimax.
my 3g speeds have always been pretty good though. and 4g as well
it is obvious to me they are expanding
I think after the past few months my service has gone downhill badly and I think I have finally decided to move on to Verizon where I will get what I pay for, I have been paying for premium data with sprint and the only way I get data is over wifi, and I'm done. Hope you guys don't wait too long before you make your decisions.

Does anyone know if AT&T still plans on enabling 64QAM on their HSPA+ network(if they haven't already)? Or have they decided to ditch evolved HSPA+ in favor of LTE? I love my Galaxy s2, but sucks I can't take advantage of the HSPA+ 21mbps radio, especially considering there will not be LTE here in Detroit anytime soon.

They are still using 16QAM which effectively limits your speeds at 14.4mbps in theory. The latest I've heard is they will not be upgrading to 64QAM and they expect their users to fall back to 14.4mbps capable HSPA+
Totally sucks that T-Mobile users have been rocking 64QAM since last year.
Im nearing that 14.4 limit
This was using the HSPA+ from my ATT GS2 while tethered to my laptop

Im thinking about doing the same... Who cares about a 2gig limit if i can never get to it... I had tmobile when it was 5gig and the one time I did get throttled it was slow but not as slow as 12kbps like I get now with sprint... I've called dozens of times and they all say the same thing...
"No towers are showing any problems data wise... let's set up a eticket and have the device checked out..."
Go to the sprint service center... Guy looks at my phone and checks a few things out...
"No problems here"
I tell him to run a speed test (in a sprint store) and I pull 150kbps...
Now I have WiFi at home and have to use it to watch/stream anything... But why in the fack am I paying for "premium data"?

just pointing out the fact that tmobile compared their 4g network to sprints and then used a iphone 4s as an example on sprint 4g.
http://explore.t-mobile.com/verizon-att-sprint/vs-sprint/
you know... most people here are 1D10T errors. lmao! 4S IS FOURTH GEN! iphone. has nothing to do with their crappy 3G connection. oh it is 3G and won't ever be 4G lol. When is sprint going to upgrade their 3G to compete with at&T? The average AT&T 3G connection IS FAR FASTER THAN SPRINTS SO CALLED 4G NETWORK. With verizon, I get 50+M down and 12M up! THEY have a real 4G network.
I do find the comparison amusing. It's two-sided. 1. It's T-Mobile trying to prove that it doesn't need the iPhone because it has superior phones. and 2. Because only AT&T is the only comparison that actually uses HSPA+ like them. Funny thing is they can get away with that marketing because they never once said they were comparing 4G services, they even state "two different phones, two different networks". Truth be told if they compared the Galaxy SII for Sprint or even AT&T's LTE version the results wouldn't look as favorable even if their psuedo 4G is better than Sprints 4G Wimax. The marketing works in their favor as most people just see what's put in front of them, everyone else actually takes the time to do a little research before they make a purchase like that.

Also, sprint or Verizon can't make their 3G as fast as AT&T. That is one of the downfalls of cdma. Gsm 3G is faster in general. Cdma 3G tops out around 3Mbps while gsm can get up to 5Mbps and possibly a little more.

One of their limits is at 5GB which is a decent amount actually for the typical user. In my area, their throttled service after the limit is still faster than Sprint.

At least the connection is fast enough to hit a limit. Sprints ****ty network you'll never get close to 5gb

Yes that is true but t-mobiles slow speed is the "high" speed "3g" I get with Sprint.

Well, sounds like you guys should switch carriers. I get 2Mb 3g and 10Mb 4gon Sprint. Tmobiles throttled speed is around 50 to 100 kbps which is way slower than what I get.

Tap, tap, tap, tap lol
But really, how could they market their stuff like that? Hmm, starting to think most businesses are like that...
I wonder what spell sprint has me under

So feel your pain, fixing to cancel and get a nexus world phone and go a different Avenue. Not going to wait another year. Just tired of waiting for things to improve.

While those are some ****ty upload speeds... The download is actually really good. And the ping is pretty good too.

I agree. I think his post was being sarcastic.
Upload is always way slower than download speeds.
Wish I got those speeds.
Verizon is going to have 4G in my area by the end of the summer. Looking at another two years before Sprint 4G comes to my area.
So the the ultimate question is, how much do I like unlimited data?
One thing I know is, if Sprint pulls unlimited data after it acquires a network I am going to be more than upset. If I sit here for the next couple of years getting 50-300kbps average, while I could be getting 10 times that on big red, only to see Sprint say, "Okay, we have a network comparable to the other carriers, here's tiered data..." Somehow, I think that's there plan.

It was all in jest. I get acceptable 3g and good 4g. However, I will be mad if LTE if slower in my area than my current 4g.

If that's there plan I'm out. If they change unlimited data they will definately be letting people out of ETF I would think

Man I would die for those speeds. I bet you can download a 2 hour movie in 10 mins or less.
Yeah, my speeds suck in St. Louis too.

Would love to see the 3G speeds. You are just lucky to have 4G coverage for the time being...maybe you'll have LTE by 2014

4G WIMAX is scheduled to be here until 2015 AFAIK.
3G in St. Louis:
Speed
I would kill for speeds like that. im getting 63kbps down and 109kbps up.
My 3g is typically around 2 down. Luckily I live in Houston so LTE should work well for me.

My 3G speeds are slow, but I live in a 4G area so I hop on that when I need to. I wish it was a little quicker to turn on the 4G antenna, though.
3G speeds has definitely improved for me in northern Delaware
