[kevinrubio]

I'd be happy to do a Speed Test, show me how and I'll go for it.

[starxpilot]

you have 3g or 1g?

2G? The 1X thing, roaming was updated and now that won't go away like it used to.

I am also confirming 3G in the Dallas area. I get 3G at my home on the east side of Dallas, but at my work in north central Dallas, it still shows 1G.

where are these central markets, and you do have 1 g right, can you activate for your phone then see if it works

 

[wayne137]

i live in fort lauderdale and only have 1x

 

[wayne137]

I just talk to 2 different metropcs reps and they say 1x is considered to be 3g that is wat I was told

Hmm, I'm in the area 75218, Northeast Dallas/Garland, not close to the DFW but a little near East...everyone's getting 1X here, except of course, them Sprint peoples...

Wait, so its ROM related? I got something called PlayfulMod

I'm trying to run the speedtest, can't seem to find a server.

I'm going to talk to them about plenty stuff when my next month's bill is due...if this is a better way to get 3G, then hell yeah

That's bull. Its quite clear on their manual what 3G is...yet, I hear they're pushing for 4G, nearly skipping full implementation of 3G!

I live outside atlanta and work in the ATL and still only have 1x. However when I was in the local metro store 2 weeks ago they had the advertisement up for 3g... So maybe we are next to upgrade? Oh I'm still running stock haven't had the chance to root yet.

[kevinrubio]

apparently people in jacksonville

 

[mdside71]

Yeah still no change in St.Pete FL...1x 4G or WIFI

 

[jbldavis1984]

I just found out that Cricket offers 3g for the Ascend.This means the Ascend is a 3g capable phone. I did not know this. My Ascend is running on Metropcs' network and offers 1x speed. Does anyone know if there is a way to make a Metropcs Ascend 3g capable?

 

[ucraj510]

metropcs does not offer 3g service thats the thing. its only 1x and 4g lte(in which u need a 4g lte compatible phone). but if u look at my video i posted, metros 1x is fast enuf.

 

[mteezey]

i live in detroit and have never seen nor ever heard of anyone getting 3g here thats all i have been trying to do since i got this phone. You go into a metro pcs store here and the salesman will tell you 3g? no we got 4g so i ask to look at his phone and see that it has a 4g signal but am explaining to him what all this means while he is grabbing his phone so he then hesitates and realizes he has never had 4g and proceeds to ask me what 1x means. I could not belive someone with such little knowledge could own a metro store
