well this is a very inaccruate test. 3 diff technologies on 3 diff phones. lol. besides all 4g is not even CLOSE to being "true". fuck my 3g is as fast as your verizon "4g". 22mgps!!! are you joking! its supposed to be 1Gbps when stationary, and at least a 100mgps when not. and sadly those speeds wont be here untill late 2013 or 2014 which is ridiculous because were being told that our droids razrs are running 4g and its just not true. its a upgraded 3g at best.
Since LTE is operating from the roof opposite my flat I can use my living room only for 3 mins before I have to leave again. In fact I now got side effects whereever I am in my flat. I will have to sell it or give it for rent.
Thank you mobile industry! Thank you mindless people!
well speed varies on.were u live over here in san juan puerto rico i had sprint an evo and even wit full bars of 4G i never ever got more than 4 mbps i gave up on them switched to at&t got an Lg Nitro and to my surprise at&t turnd on LTE over i.have gotten speeds up to 40 mbps on lte. even wen my phone drops down to atts 3g hspa+ its still faster than sprints 4G i get 8-10 mbps on atts 3G somethin i.nvr got.on sprint.
6mo. ago in wash.dc. my friend had the Evo from Sprint. and my other friend had the DROIDX they tried youtube 3 times and the DROIDX came on top all the time. 2 yrs ago while in vacation in Williamsburg,va. My wife with the T-Mobile g2 did not have signal at all she was using my Verizon droid R2D2. I THINK VERIZON IS BETTER.
If you look closley at the Epic 4G it doesn't even have full signal has one bar!! Make sure you get full signal dumb ass I get 13.28 down off Sprint -___-
@MrArnboy91 Sprint also announced they will do away with unlimited plans for 4g. Its a business model that simply can no longer be supported especially now they can offer the iphone
@MrArnboy91 Are you an idiot? Verizon has more coverage than Sprint? Do you realize that Sprint piggybacks off of Verizon network and Verizon does the same to Sprint? The only thing Sprint doesn't roam on is Verizon's 4G because Sprint's devices has no LTE radio's. Not only that, Sprint has free roaming, Verizon doesn't.
HOW ABOUT YOU DO THE TEST NOW USING A UP-TO-DATE HTC PHONE FROM EACH CARRIER OR AT LEAST THE SIMILAR LOOKING PHONES LIKE THE HTC INSPIRE VS THE HTC EVO 4G VS THE HTC THUNDERBOLT! I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT COMPARISON
I would use a 4G WiiMax. Yes I know 4G LTE is faster, But people who have 4G LTE phones use have a use of only 2 hours on web browsing. While on 4G WiiMax theres 5 Hours.
I get between 8-11 MB down and 5-7 MB up on my T-Mobile MyTouch 4G here in Roswell, GA. Even on my roommates MyTouch 3G Slide, He gets on average 4-5 MB down and 1-2 MB up. It ALWAYS depends on your location. So results very drastically.
Im getting around 10 mbps down and 5 mbps up on one bar verizon lte on bionic. On a full bar 4glte I get 27 mbs down and around 15 mbps up. Tmobile needs to stop calling their hspa+ 4g.
@RCcarL0V3R hey, its the peak data rates,, for eg: lte channel bandwidth varies from 1.4mhz to 20mhz, and the peak 100mbs can be seen only when you are in the 20mhz bandwith
@aravindsn ya i guess i just cant wait till 2013 when the "promise" to have 4g lte everywhere there is 3g but judging by all the cities they add every month it will happen
@Realmatic00 If you look closely you can see that it has 1 bar, that sometimes disappears, so it is connected to 4G, but yeah, only barely, still beats out HSPA+, but I suppose we'll have to search more if we want an apples to apples comparison between Sprint and Verizon 4G
I am using Sprint's new Motorola Photon 4G and I got 9Mbps just yesterday over WiMax. Something tells me this is less about the technology and more about the density of cell towers and the number of users flooding each tower. The service who has more 4G towers and more bandwidth at the connections from the tower to the wire will have the better performance, not necessarily a provider with a specific technology.
Sprint 4g isn't on in this video. The 4g light up yellow when its on. Besides there are alot of factors that go into speed test. Results not very accurate.
I wonder if Sprint should have been represented by the Evo which is superior to the Epic and analogous to the Thunderbolt... Maybe Sprint WiMax would have tested more competitively if tested with the Evo???
Also, I forgot to add, very high network speeds don't matter really when you have a 2-5GB monthly cap. You stream like 1-2 HD movies and BAM, you're over your cap.
@ashesnmisery Sprint is slower because its not LTE not because they have unlimted data plans. before july 7th Verizon had unlimted data and LTE was still faster for this fact alone sprint is switching to lte and lte advanced.
What phone on what network? In T-Mo's case, as well as At&t's, HSPA+ increases the speed on all 3G phones. The phones have a speed cap that is usually higher than most networks can push out. For example, the myTouch 3G is a 3G phone that has a data cap of 7.2Mbps; but T-Mo's 3G network doesn't reach that. After upgrading to HSPA+ (4G), the myTouch 3G is be able to reach that speed. The same goes for the Moto Defy, the G1, and even the iPhone 4 on At&t once they update to HSPA+.
@skymitch89 i got the MyTouch 3G Slide and i did the speedtest twice that day and the results for the 1st test i got 3.15 down, 2.09 up and the 2nd was : 2.98 down and 2.11 up
@skymitch89 Why update to HSPA+ when you can have faster speeds with LTE?. Why do you think that both At&t and Sprint are going with LTE? its because its faster and thats why all the major wireless networks are getting it.
@BoeckmanOSU Most of the big companies got rid of the unlimited plans because there was too much load on the network and it was impossible to serve everyone equally without a cap...
Its not incorrect data its really that fast on upload I know I even have the lastest version of the speedtest app as your using the old version of speedtest so speak only for yourself because the t-bolt is really as fast as speedtest says it is.
I love how Verizon waited for all the rest of the wireless networks to come out with their version of what they called 4G and then as soon as Verizon hit the market with LTE Verizons speeds blew away EVERYONE ELSE'S and this is why ALL the other networks are going to be going with LTE. Epic Fail to Sprint /AT&T and T-Mobile because Verizon had the real first true 4G network.
@pyro74boy i love verizon and have verizon, dont get your feelings hurt but look up the definition of 4G. Even though verizon blows the competition away it is still not true 4G. Just saying.......
@dusfermc is that so? just ask the cell phone junkie what network has true 4g Speeds at this point of the data speed game and he will tell you Verizon LTE. You also might want to understand that the true speeds of LTE on Verizon are faster then the claimed advertised data speeds why do you think that both At&t and Sprint are going with LTE? its because its faster and this is before LTE advanced has even hit the US market My feelings are not hurt are yours.
@pyro74boy 4g would equal these speeds. Peak data rates of up to approximately 100 Mbit/s for high mobility such as mobile access and up to approximately 1 Gbit/s for low mobility such as nomadic/local wireless access.
@dusfermc Like I said before just ask TCPJ aka the cell phone junkie who really has true 4G speeds and he will tell you Verizon LTE. The speeds I have been getting are faster then my home broadband speeds no joke. TCPJ said before the he used LTE that no US network would have true 4G speeds Until lte advanced comes out in 2014 and then after he was able to use LTE he then said that Verizons speeds where true 4G and the second faster network was Sprints wimax.
Verizon is the best.. all it matters is to have 4 g in the place you are. Who cares to watch for interruptions.. or strenghts.... 4 glt is in verizon!
Obviously any test u ever do on any phone will never be valid to the public because they will always like there fav network. Plus there are to many variables with cell phones, ex: signal strength, interference, network traffic, your phones hardware, etc so what's the point of a test. What works best for u works best for u.
Also, you can't do a side by side test on all three networks and get effective results because it really all depends on your location. For example, my G2 gets 10-12 mbps in some areas with a full signal and in other areas with a full signal it can be like 3-4mpbs.
@nsupra20 I know all 4G networks aren't "true" 4G. But the least Verizon could do is add a technology to their network that makes it super fast and call it 4G. AT&T just puts a post-it note over their 3G logo on their 4G phones, puts two 3G technologies together and calls it 4G. And network speed depends on tower capacity.
You test is flawed; the Sprint phone has two separate cellular radios; one 3G CDMA2000 1x radio for calls and SMS (and data when WiMAX service is unavailable), and the WiMAX radio. In your video, the WiMAX signal indicator shows one of three bars, leading to a clear disadvantage as the other phones have better signal quality on their data links. WiMAX uses different towers and spectrum than CDMA2000 1x, and thus has different signal strengths in different places than the 3G. Please redo the test
Keep in mind this video was recorded when LTE first came out so the data pipes for the Verizon LTE are empty while the ATT HSPA+ and Sprint Wimax are overloaded with users.
I would not put much emphasis on this video since the speeds are obviously going to be faster on verizon LTE when LTE is just starting to ramp up its service.
Well I want to see an updated video since a few weeks ago T-mobile just upgraded their Hspa+ network to peak speed of 42mbps from their previous 21mbps, I would like to see a comparison now, please
Not sure if you pointed it out at some other point, the Epic had a SINGLE bar of service. Both of the other phones were @ FULL service. Not surprising though, my epic routinely gets 5+Mb w/ just a single bar. 9Mb @ 2 bars and 16Mb w/ 3. The 2.5GHz of WiMax limits indoor reception, however Sprint is moving to LTE via their 800MHz, 1.9GHz, and 2.5GHz frequencies which will be utilized simultaneously. What do the other 2 phones get with 1 bar of service? Just curious?
when tmobile first had hspa+ released i just bought the vibrant which is only hspa,but i was downloading @ about 7 mbs then & uploading @ 3 mbs. then after about 3 to 4 months when everyone started contracting with tmobile because of the speeds people were getting with regular 3G & the soon to be released G2 which was a real hspa+ phone,things started to slow down to 2 mbs & 1.5 mbs upload. i see the same thing happening with verizon,though theyll be around sprints average speed on downloads.
your ABOUT a fucking dumbass cause the epic only hade 1 bar of 4g im a long time owner of the epic 4g and i know that even with 3 bars the epic would wipe them all with full 4g bars i was geting over 14 lol love dumb ppl
@TheDemonFang I'd like to point out that signal strength and throughput do not have a linear correlation. Case and point I had full bars on my Thunderbolt and got a 28mbps downstream rate, and with half that signal strength it only tests slightly under that at around 22-23ish. If you read the technical specs and real world tests from the various 4G networks you'll see that Verizon's is technically the fastest, however the others aren't that far behind. ATT&T's "4G" is a joke though.
@dinnerandashow You do realize that they actually don't because they're running on separate networks that utilize different ranges in the radio spectrum right?
what i really hate about verizon lte is that it is not unlimited and costs more, while on sprint wimax it is only 10 dollars more and it is completely unlimited.
@1499Erick On smartphones the 4G data plan is currently unlimited for $29.99 month, the tiered pricing is for 4G mobile broadband (4G USB Modems, Dedicated Mobile Hotspots & Tablets). Smartphone Mobile Hotspot is currently free for Thunderbolt users until May 15, then it will be $20/month extra on top of the unlimited data plan for 2GB, $20/GB over.
@proskateronnie The thunderbolt isn't inaccurate. Users using the dongle have reported speeds up to 20 Mbps on verizon's network. It really is that fast. Unfortunately, the 4G radio will drain the battery on the thunderbolt like there's no tomorrow, as little as 3-4 hrs.
@tlordon its true, they just raised there upload speed to 1.5 mb's. on 6/10/11, so thas's good. also in about a year they'll be using both wimax & lte. the only network with both 4g technology's. there should be some crazy benefits with that, it'll be interesting.
@tlordon you think he would waste his 500mb out of his precious 5gigs? now with sprint he could download 500mb files 500 times and still watch all the divx movies he wants!
@PurpleMonkeyChannel so its unlimited lte? or unlimited 3G? you know how there fine print is.i have to do some resaearch if thats true then its well worth the price,ill switch to verizon when they get the 4G galaxy s2 if they ever.the sgs2 is only going to be 3g on verizon but have sprints 4G wimax,something about the frequencies isnt good for the phone & 700mgz is so penetrating they cant shield the phone from its frequencies.fries the circuits...
@jay33011211 You get unlimited data for your phone, wether it be 4g or 3g. The 5 gig limit is just a rumor and verizon only will charge extra if you tether. If you are downloading files from websites, streaming vids, etc then no there is no limit
Dude what is Verizon`s network on? It`s like it is on steroids. But you would expect that because it is a new network. Came out late 2010. I just don`t like the 5GB cap with Verizon and T-Mobile. I like that sprint has truly unlimited data for their 4G network.
@MetalllicAISMetal by the time 4G hits your area, lte speeds might be slower. remember the more traffic the slower things move, so verizon's testing's aren't valid until at least a year into the lte release to make a fair speed test. im in newyork & a decent amount of people have the verizon's lte phone's, they download on average of 6 to 7 mb's & upload's are 4 to 5 mb's. so i'd say thats there true average speed. best thing to do is check it at the verizon store & see how fast it is in ur zone
@I3loody You have to purchase a LTE data plan in addition to the phone and the standard voice/text plan. With the data plan you can use your phone as a 4G hotspot, which allows you to use it as a wifi router, so to say.
@I3loody An extra $20 a month for hotspot service on top of the data plan ($30.) Verizon has a promo right now which offers free hotspot service unitl May 15 with the purchase of a Thunderbolt. Of course, you can root the phone, which allows access to free wireless tether apps...
@I3loody If you go with tmobile like right now youll get the free hot spot witch will let you give a wifi singal off your phone. i have a mytouch 4g and i singed a new contract like20days ago and its free for me up untill 2 years =)
@monstergreen23 T-Mobile bottlenecks your data after 2 gb of data usage. This includes tethering. Once you go over the limit they force you to use 2G. It is really bad... I switched over to verizon. Tethering isn't part of the data allowance and they gave me unlimited data instead of an allowance for free. Am loving Verizon!
@I3loody you can get it in a usb from verizon but i dont know what it is called and you can get mifi verizon 4g and there are two versions of it but both require a data plan.
The speed test program has a glitch when it comes to the upload speeds, but when it comes to the thunderbolt download speeds those are certainly true. The LTE speed is so sick and blazing fast i have one of my own and damn makes att, tmobile, and sprint look like crap. im out of phx and im getting 12 mbps download. im glad i chose the thunderbolt after watching this video. i always said that dual core crap is overrated gnna wait til the end of the year or next year 4 a true beast with quad-core
What's weird is that you say that the Thunderbolt is pulling incorrect data. Then you say it's the best. How do you know that if it is pulling unreliable information? This test is inconclusive at best.
Fix your upload next time

@skymitch89 Why update to HSPA+ when you can have faster speeds with LTE?. Why do you think that both At&t and Sprint are going with LTE? its because its faster and thats why all the major wireless networks are getting it.

Its not incorrect data its really that fast on upload I know I even have the lastest version of the speedtest app as your using the old version of speedtest so speak only for yourself because the t-bolt is really as fast as speedtest says it is.

I love how Verizon waited for all the rest of the wireless networks to come out with their version of what they called 4G and then as soon as Verizon hit the market with LTE Verizons speeds blew away EVERYONE ELSE'S and this is why ALL the other networks are going to be going with LTE. Epic Fail to Sprint /AT&T and T-Mobile because Verizon had the real first true 4G network.

@pyro74boy i love verizon and have verizon, dont get your feelings hurt but look up the definition of 4G. Even though verizon blows the competition away it is still not true 4G. Just saying.......
dusfermc 7 months ago
@dusfermc is that so? just ask the cell phone junkie what network has true 4g Speeds at this point of the data speed game and he will tell you Verizon LTE. You also might want to understand that the true speeds of LTE on Verizon are faster then the claimed advertised data speeds why do you think that both At&t and Sprint are going with LTE? its because its faster and this is before LTE advanced has even hit the US market My feelings are not hurt are yours.
pyro74boy 7 months ago
@pyro74boy 4g would equal these speeds. Peak data rates of up to approximately 100 Mbit/s for high mobility such as mobile access and up to approximately 1 Gbit/s for low mobility such as nomadic/local wireless access.
dusfermc 7 months ago
@dusfermc Like I said before just ask TCPJ aka the cell phone junkie who really has true 4G speeds and he will tell you Verizon LTE. The speeds I have been getting are faster then my home broadband speeds no joke. TCPJ said before the he used LTE that no US network would have true 4G speeds Until lte advanced comes out in 2014 and then after he was able to use LTE he then said that Verizons speeds where true 4G and the second faster network was Sprints wimax.

Obviously any test u ever do on any phone will never be valid to the public because they will always like there fav network. Plus there are to many variables with cell phones, ex: signal strength, interference, network traffic, your phones hardware, etc so what's the point of a test. What works best for u works best for u.

AT&T sucks. Their 4G is FAKE and is just masked 3G
coffeeandsugar20 7 months ago
@coffeeandsugar20 Technically all three network's 4G is "fake".
Also, you can't do a side by side test on all three networks and get effective results because it really all depends on your location. For example, my G2 gets 10-12 mbps in some areas with a full signal and in other areas with a full signal it can be like 3-4mpbs.
nsupra20 6 months ago
@nsupra20 I know all 4G networks aren't "true" 4G. But the least Verizon could do is add a technology to their network that makes it super fast and call it 4G. AT&T just puts a post-it note over their 3G logo on their 4G phones, puts two 3G technologies together and calls it 4G. And network speed depends on tower capacity.
coffeeandsugar20 6 months ago
You test is flawed; the Sprint phone has two separate cellular radios; one 3G CDMA2000 1x radio for calls and SMS (and data when WiMAX service is unavailable), and the WiMAX radio. In your video, the WiMAX signal indicator shows one of three bars, leading to a clear disadvantage as the other phones have better signal quality on their data links. WiMAX uses different towers and spectrum than CDMA2000 1x, and thus has different signal strengths in different places than the 3G. Please redo the test

Keep in mind this video was recorded when LTE first came out so the data pipes for the Verizon LTE are empty while the ATT HSPA+ and Sprint Wimax are overloaded with users.
I would not put much emphasis on this video since the speeds are obviously going to be faster on verizon LTE when LTE is just starting to ramp up its service.

Not sure if you pointed it out at some other point, the Epic had a SINGLE bar of service. Both of the other phones were @ FULL service. Not surprising though, my epic routinely gets 5+Mb w/ just a single bar. 9Mb @ 2 bars and 16Mb w/ 3. The 2.5GHz of WiMax limits indoor reception, however Sprint is moving to LTE via their 800MHz, 1.9GHz, and 2.5GHz frequencies which will be utilized simultaneously. What do the other 2 phones get with 1 bar of service? Just curious?

when tmobile first had hspa+ released i just bought the vibrant which is only hspa,but i was downloading @ about 7 mbs then & uploading @ 3 mbs. then after about 3 to 4 months when everyone started contracting with tmobile because of the speeds people were getting with regular 3G & the soon to be released G2 which was a real hspa+ phone,things started to slow down to 2 mbs & 1.5 mbs upload. i see the same thing happening with verizon,though theyll be around sprints average speed on downloads.

JacobhansonTV 9 months ago
@TheDemonFang I'd like to point out that signal strength and throughput do not have a linear correlation. Case and point I had full bars on my Thunderbolt and got a 28mbps downstream rate, and with half that signal strength it only tests slightly under that at around 22-23ish. If you read the technical specs and real world tests from the various 4G networks you'll see that Verizon's is technically the fastest, however the others aren't that far behind. ATT&T's "4G" is a joke though.

@1499Erick On smartphones the 4G data plan is currently unlimited for $29.99 month, the tiered pricing is for 4G mobile broadband (4G USB Modems, Dedicated Mobile Hotspots & Tablets). Smartphone Mobile Hotspot is currently free for Thunderbolt users until May 15, then it will be $20/month extra on top of the unlimited data plan for 2GB, $20/GB over.

Sprint 4g isn't as fast on speedtest vs lte in short bursts try large files
Also wimax and lge is about same speed theoretically..
V just has the cap wide open.
Sprint has it tuned down for now....
Wait till more get on v lte network and watch ur speed drop to same as Sprint
U forget wimax is closer to wifi than lte and we can get over 100mb
Lte is 700mhz battery sucker
Building penetration is a v marketing slam
Just wait sprint has always started with small but solid footprint and grew it

@tlordon its true, they just raised there upload speed to 1.5 mb's. on 6/10/11, so thas's good. also in about a year they'll be using both wimax & lte. the only network with both 4g technology's. there should be some crazy benefits with that, it'll be interesting.

jay33011211 8 months ago
@jay33011211 You get unlimited data for your phone, wether it be 4g or 3g. The 5 gig limit is just a rumor and verizon only will charge extra if you tether. If you are downloading files from websites, streaming vids, etc then no there is no limit

Dude what is Verizon`s network on? It`s like it is on steroids. But you would expect that because it is a new network. Came out late 2010. I just don`t like the 5GB cap with Verizon and T-Mobile. I like that sprint has truly unlimited data for their 4G network.

MetalllicAISMetal 11 months ago
@MetalllicAISMetal by the time 4G hits your area, lte speeds might be slower. remember the more traffic the slower things move, so verizon's testing's aren't valid until at least a year into the lte release to make a fair speed test. im in newyork & a decent amount of people have the verizon's lte phone's, they download on average of 6 to 7 mb's & upload's are 4 to 5 mb's. so i'd say thats there true average speed. best thing to do is check it at the verizon store & see how fast it is in ur zone

@I3loody You have to purchase a LTE data plan in addition to the phone and the standard voice/text plan. With the data plan you can use your phone as a 4G hotspot, which allows you to use it as a wifi router, so to say.

@monstergreen23 T-Mobile bottlenecks your data after 2 gb of data usage. This includes tethering. Once you go over the limit they force you to use 2G. It is really bad... I switched over to verizon.
