AT&T users in US... what kind of speeds are you getting?

[worknman]

When I first got my unlocked GSM Gnex about a month ago, I could manage about 2mbps. But when I found out about APN settings and tweaked those, now I get 3.5 - 4mbps. And that is with full bars of HSPA+. Somehow, I was thinking HSPA+ was supposed to be faster than that? I don't know much about APN settings, so just copied settings I found online. I tried several different variations, but 4mbps is the fastest I could manage, whether during the day, or the middle of the night.

BTW: I'm in Austin, TX, and I get 3.5 - 4mbps pretty consistently no matter where I am in town.

HSPA+ can only max out around 3.5mbps - 4mpbs, so it sounds like you are basically getting what you should be getting...

Remember that HSPA+ is considered to be 3.5G

Not in the US (Canada) but on HSPA+ I get roughly 3-4ish as well.

Um, what? It can run as high as 42Mbps. I get 8-9Mbps regularly in certain areas with my GNex.

Around here, though AT&T is not that fast. I suspect it has to do with the number of subscribers and their backhaul in this area.

I typically get between 2.5 and 5 Mbps around Houston on T-Mobile, though I sometimes get 7-8 Mbps speeds.

The GNex, with HSPA+ 21, is technically capable of 21 Mbps speeds, though in real life you likely won't see anything much faster than 10 Mbps. The speeds your phone gets depend on how close you are to the towers and the current load on the towers.
