AT&T SIM card in a Verizion HTC 8x. Can someone do a speed test?

[TheAccuser]

I'm curious to see what real world downstream/upstream speeds are. I know it's not LTE, but want to see some numbers. I'm still trying to convince my brother into getting a Verizon 8x and use his AT&T SIM. He currently has an iPhone and won't buy the blue or yellow 8x...and he's locked into a family AT&T plan.

It will max out at 14.4, since it's single-channel HSPA+ on the Verizon version.

Yeah, I know the theoretical, but wanted to see some real world speed tests specifically with the V HTC 8x on AT&T.

They'll vary widely based on signal strength, server distance, and tower configuration (some AT&T towers have better backhaul than others). In general, HSPA+ single-channel on AT&T will average between 4 and 6 Mb/s.

Upstream too?

Upstream too?

Upstream would probably be 0.5 to 0.75 Mb/s

Just tested with my cousin's 8x and my at&t sim. Got 4-5 down(did multiple tests) and .1 to .5 up

Are you getting H+ or H?

 

[TheAccuser]

These speeds are not good. I need to tell my brother to suck it up and get a blue phone.

you can do that now?????

You can on the 8x. Though if he is on AT&T, he would get much better performance from the AT&T 8x, on both HSPA+ and LTE.
