I did, that's what has me so angry. I pay a hefty price for those speeds and I'm getting a third of what I should be getting.:mad:

Ping test will also give you packet loss info, and the ping is an average of several pings for better accuracy. this is a better quality test, not just a short download speed.
http://pingtest.net/learn.php

166ms ping - I would look into that, that's very high and will make requests to any site slow.

Thank god I'm not the only one. This is where I'm at too. I need to switch providers immediately. :surrender:

[macatawacab]

Thanks to the OP !!!

My awful speeds are the 3G/4G connected to my Toshiba laptop. Laptop is in the third year of use but has plenty of guts.

When connected to WIFI the thruput is as fast as my hitting enter.

I am taking the laptop and Sprint card to the Sprint store here in Austin.

thanks again for giving me a comparison of with the others:2thumbsup:

[WarriorWithWood]

When wi-fi tethering to my cell phone, I get 1.5 down and about .8 up. I'm with Sprint. Just an FYI.

I use the Sprint laptop card 3g only and I am impressed with its speed.. Even using it with my older laptops.. They released and up date a few days ago that has made a world of difference as well.

Do you see a noticeable difference when surfing with the card v.s the wifi connection?

The data is compressed so the speeds registering on the test are a bit misleading when using the laptop cards.

Let me test mine

[macatawacab]

http://www.speedtest.net/result/678431049.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

This is the WIFI result. Triple the speed of the Sprint card from the same hotel room??

Can anyone comment if this is typical comparing the 4G stuff to WIFI?

That probably has something to do with the time of day and activity on the cable system at the time. With cable speeds will vary greatly with load on the system. Just tell your neighbors to get off the porn sites.

Well I finally got the 4g on my wifi box figured out.. The changed out the old box and correct the plan error on my data plan..


4g is not fully rolled out but I have a tower across the street from my house and I talk to the techs sometimes in passing while they work on it..

This is on a 4g connection with a 50% signal.. Not to bad, I hope when they fully deploy and the signal hits 100% it goes up a bit and latency drops down..

put on their tin foil hats and

No those speeds are crap.. Usually a result of how you set up the clear modem and a router..

Are you using a router?

I'm pretty rural. And I don't have line of site to a tower. In fact this is the view out my front window. One big hill:o

I'm thinking of putting the antenna and router in a plastic tupperware and mounting it on my roof:idea:

Some people don't realize how much the router affects the speed of your connection.

The gaming routers are usually the best. This is what I use now.

are you using a router now?
Yes, a linksys E1000. The speeds fluctuate, anywhere from .5 to 3.0 in the house.
Later today I'll have my white trash waterproof router box mounted outside( I promise a picture)
Then I think my speeds will increase.

I need to find out the operating temperature range for the router and the antenna. I wonder if the winter temps will slow it down?

As a test I would remove the router and connect directly to the Clear box and test the speeds..

There several routers that had problems communicating with the Clear devices.

[Len]

http://www.speedtest.net/result/985387625.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

Wireless is always tricky. Wifi transmits on the open 2.4 ghz frequency. Because it's open most wireless devices also use it. Wireless mice and keyboards, cordless phones, microwave ovens, baby monitors and the list gets very long.

[WarriorWithWood]

That's the upload speed I'm supposed to be getting.

[y.painting]

My U/L is usually always under 1. I think Roadrunner limits it to that in my area.

The clear modem only works with specific routers.. They also have to be connected a certain way to work.. I had this problem before. It is on the Clear website how to set up the modem and routers to work correctly..

Easy test is to remove the router from the equation and see if speeds increase..

Try pingtest.net (http://pingtest.net/)
This is a better indication of quality of your connection.

Your ping times are directly affected by your DNS settings too. By default your computer/router uses your ISP's DNS. but usually you can get an increased speed in looking up web address's by changing your DNS setting.

I usually recommend one of these 2.
Google Public DNS (http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/)
Open DNS (http://www.opendns.com/) (great for monitoring/filtering content too)

Look for packet loss. If you are loosing packets you probalby have a bad connection somewhere. If you are using wifi you probably are getting inference. Try changing channels on your router.

What was the tip from NAP, i can't seem to find it. i went back a few pages and saw nothing. I am on wireless, the router is an apple extreme , fast enough for me.

that library download test was so fast. I can't believe that. my upload sucks on mine.

but i only upload a few pics once and a while. not a huge deal.

[WarriorWithWood]

This is what I had to do to get a decent signal:rolleyes3:
Cut a 2 gallon bucket in half, put the wireless router and antenna in it, and put another bucket over that. A couple bricks on top for ballast and BAM! I have blazing fast internet speeds:grin::rolleyes3:

http://www.speedtest.net/result/1073591593.png (http://www.speedtest.net)

One day I actually hit 4 Mbs, put I've yet to repeat that.

Bender are you still using Clear?

[Bender]

Its my only choice out here.

[Eieio]

Yeah I was just reading an article on them.. They are going to head into more rural areas soon..

They did not expect the positive response they got and intend to add more towers and increase service speeds and capacity..

Hopefully you see some of that soon. I use them here and the service is not bad at all..

[Eieio]

what device do you have from them?

Clear Modem Series M and a Linksys E1000 router.

I at least sprayed the buckets red oxide so they wouldn't look like buckets from the road:laugh3:

Is this bad for wireless hotspot? I cant even watch my NetFlix movies these past 2 weeks. I did a Google search for Sprint internet speed problem and have just learned that Sprint sucks.

[Leo G]

That is beyond sucky. That is super duper sucky. A one second ping !??!

[Leo G]

Even mine sucks D+

http://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/78766?start=0&tstart=0 138+ pages of pissed off Sprint Wireless customers on Sprints own forum.

I used to be happy with the service - not thrilled - but happy. Now all these Sprint tablets and Iphones are hogging all my internet.

[WarriorWithWood]

I can't stand running on my Sprint 3G, it's slow as hell, but the 4g is a little better. I guess when they start loading it down with the devices it will match the crappy 3g speed. I only run the hotspot when there's NO other choice, typically I'll wait until I get to the office or home. The only reason I deal with it is because it's a company phone.

holy crap! I've never been so happy that I didn't jump on the iPhone!

[fez-head]

Yep. I was thinking about getting one Jan. 5th but not after those reviews. I'll get the Sanyo 4g touch Epic instead.

Baltimore and DC just got a huge back haul and tower update, speeds are back up and running smoothly..

Sprint's suppose to be doing a nationwide upgrade, I hope you guys get some of what I got, Service is 100% better now

[fez-head]

Nope. No new updates and none on the schedule for my area.

I went out and bought the new NetGear Neo for streaming movies hoping that would be better/faster than the WII. Hands down it blows the WII away. This thing is the cats ass. Still have streaming trouble because of Sprints slow internet but the over all experience with the NetGear is outstanding. $50 well spent.

WiFi don't count. It's as fast as your broadband minus a bit.

[WarriorWithWood]

I know, I just threw it in there as a comparison. When you use that all day it becomes painful to go 3G. (notice the "faster then 94% of the US."):grin:
