Please help with 4s speed on att

[Surfer13134]

I was about a yard away from 2 different AT&T HSPA+ cell sites and the highest I got was 5Mbps. I believe time of day is going to have the most effect on speeds. AT&T has a lot of people using their network which results in slower speeds. Last night I ran several speedtests on my iPhone 4s but at 1 in the morning and was averaging 5.5Mbps when in the middle of the day I average 1-3Mbps.

How many bars did you have for your signal?

Can someone take a screen shot of the att.com website showing that their iPhone unlimited plan differs from an iPhone 4s unlimited plan? I'm curious if I now need to call, as I did a SIM swap from an iPhone 4.

Yes you will need to contact AT&T since you did that because that's what I did. I now get up to 6 Mbps when I have full coverage.

I didn't do a sim swap. I used the sim that came already preinstalled in my iPhone4s from ATT

Thanks guys. I just got off the phone with AT&T where he updated my IMEI and said he got me migrated to the Unlimited for iPhone 4S and moved my iPhone 4 back to the DataPro 2gb for iPhone4 rather than the one for 4S, since I did a new line and a SIM swap.

Now I just don't know how long it takes for the website to update to show that.

Thanks!


Edit: Just kidding, just went on the ATT site and now it says unl for iphone 4s. Thanks again!

Better, was up from 2.5mbit to 4.5mbit. This is with 3-4 bars at my house, so definitely not full coverage.
