AT&T USA, we're limited to HSPA+ ... What speeds are you getting on Speedtest.net?

[akin_t]

Sorry for having an endless barrage of questions. I know most of the users here are not from the USA; however for those of you who are, care to share the speeds you're getting on AT&T's HSPA+ network? We're not getting LTE speeds, I just want to know if it's bearable or not.

Varies for me a lot depending on signal strength, area of town, etc., but I got anywhere from 6 ~ 11 mps.
That's using Speedtest.net

Gee you guys have it so bad. ; )

I'm assuming the op wants the speeds for a 930 since it doesn't have LTE.

Here are a few tests I just ran. Thank god for wifi

Wow. Oh man this is a really really tough choice.

I only ever use data for streaming music in the car or surfing the internet (at barbershops and the airport). I know I'll be able to live but wow, this is something else.

I was seriously considering the Moto X 2014 or the Sony Xperia Z3 but anytime I look at the UI ... I just keep pining for the clean look of Windows Phone.

You're sure that's HSPA+ and not LTE? Cause those speeds rival the LTE I get now on AT&T lol.

 

[Fred Wilson2]

If you "need" LTE or those speeds then maybe look at the Nokia Lumia 830 or 735.

I have been on a trip with my Lumia 930 on ATT with HPSA+ all week and have found the speeds to be = to LTE with no drop in service as well as using internet sharing to do my work in buildings everyday. Love this phone!

 

[jmerrey]

Yeah the speeds aren't close to LTE. For me it was an easy decision because the only time I really use data is when I'm on wifi. I have all my music stored locally, and I'm always driving (as opposed to riding in) my car so having fast data then isn't important. I'm sure if I wasn't on wifi most of the time it would be a different story.

Honestly, if you can make the size work, the 1520 is a fantastic alternative. Same basic specs, but you get that amazing battery (2+ days), memory card, glance screen. It all depends on if you can make it fit into your life

 

[akin_t]

Wow, so I just checked a Moto X (2014) in the store ... Goodness, the YouTube app on Android has PiP. You can play one video while searching for others!

Ugh I really love Windows Phone for the unified UI and all, but I feel like they should have all this stuff by now

I really don't wanna have to do micro management on my phone to keep it running smoothly but Android is so appealing after I saw that Moto X in action. Why won't developers support this platform? I mean what gives? The platform is perfect, it has everything you need! I feel like people just don't want WP to succeed.

Anyway rant over. Thanks for posting your speed results guys. I checked out an Icon in the store today ... As much as I hate verizon I don't think I can live without LTE especially since HSPA+ speed seems to depend on your geography.
