you must be on a very under utilized tower. I was just at O'Charley's on the east side, 5mhz band 4, and couldn't break 5mb. I'd love to see half of the speeds you're getting all over Evansville, and could even deal with 5mb on the Band 17 towers if it was consistent.


I will say my girlfriend lives on the east side across the expressway from where the stadium use to be basically, and the reception there sucks especially indoors. I've never really tried or tested data though because she has wifi and I just use it. I'm gonna test it and see what I get.

Oh here are the results from my GFs house across the expressway from were Roberts Stadium used to be. DRASTICALLY different than what I'm getting just east of the east side target and Walmart.

that's what I see all over the east side, and around the North Park area. AT&T is definitely not the greatest service in this area.
 
T-Mobile is the best!

NW suburbs in the twin cities metro area.
download 70 Mbs.
Speed test done from inside my house.

T-mobile does not count music streaming and speed test as data for purposes of one's account!
Does speedtest use a lot of data? I remember on my Galaxy S4 I did a speedtest (using ookla's app) and it used over 90MB in one pop! Maybe I did like a thousand tests and just remember otherwise, but I still swear I only did one test.

Sprint is looking really good right now... :(


Wow man... I seriously cannot believe AT&T isn't doing anything about this on the north side. I wonder if it has anything to do with the airport being nearby? I rarely travel to that side of town so luckily I never experience speeds that bad. I wish you much luck with that.

that was at First Ave & Diamond. No airport nearby, and nothing that should make the towers over utilized in that area.

*EDIT* went back to the same location today, and happened to pick up Band 4 this time. A little better service, but still not acceptible!

I wish upload was a bit better but this is pretty good for an area that's probably not going to get Spark for a bit (San Diego).

So I randomly decided to do a speed test while in downtown Atlanta today and these were my results. I also went into the field test settings and noticed I was on band 41 (Sprint Spark) this is great, because I wasn't aware that spark had reached atlanta.
