As title says.

What city & state you are in?
What data speeds did you achieve? In Kbps or Mbps, down & up
Which app did you use? (Speedtest or FCC speedtest)
What time of day was the test taken?
How much service did you have?
What was your latency?
Make sure you are showing the HSPA+ symbol.

Exton, PA
.92 / .09mbps
FCC Speedtest

So far I'm not very happy with these speeds. I know I don't have full service but I am still seeing slow speeds. I will have to borrow my sisters Iphone 4 and run speed tests because I am almost positive she gets better results.

I know this is "atrix" only,

Palo Alto server,
150ms ping
average 3.7mbs down, 400kbs up

AT&T has not turned on enhanced backhaul yet which is why we are not seeing above average speeds. At the same time, When i play HQ youtube, I never need buffering, when I download apps, I noticed it downloading much faster, and I can play pocket legends with no lag what so ever. I never thought those speed tests to be accurate but who knows really.

As long as im getting good speeds in general and am not having to pay more for "4g" then im good. (but i know this might not be the case for everyone here)

Speed tests are all over the place depending which one you use. I use the Speedtest and Xtremelabs..

Most of the tests I've done with the Atrix are around the 2 meg down and about 200 to 300 k for up load about the same as my Iphone 3GS in my area zip code 62035 and 62002 posted zip codes because I live in a small area.

I ran a test by a tower last night and saw 4 meg down on a burst then it dropped down to 3.5 which is still the fastest I've seen in my area.

H+ network is not live yet so I'm hoping for better speeds later.

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.
