HSPA+ speed way lower after LTE launch

Dont know If anyone noticed this. I live in wash dc and 3 days ago LTE went live here. The thing is this though: I have a galaxy s3 with tmobile which supports hspa+ 42MB but not LTE and before the greatest LTE lauch here I was having like 21MB/s down and 3MB/s up on HSPA+ network. However after the LTE lauch my speeds on HSPA+ network went way down to constant 8MB/s down and 2.2MB/s up no matter what time u do the test no matter what server u use. I just hope this is not just another Tmobile trick to force me to update to an LTE ready device to be able to access higher speeds after I just got the not LTE ready galaxy s3. Can anyone in an LTE area confirm this?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EtherealRemnant:
It makes sense that bandwidth is going to get cut. T-Mobile is migrating HSPA over from AWS to PCS spectrum in segments to deploy LTE... There's going to be slow downs through that migration and there's going to be an overall impact to HSPA speeds as the split between AWS and PCS is finalized. This was the only way that T-Mobile could deploy LTE.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
I did notice some slower speeds then before, but not all the time. I haven't noticed any usage difference though. 17mbps isn't that much of a real difference from 22mbps.

Have you read through my Baseband/Modem thread? (At least the first few posts). Link in my sig, its stickied in development section.

Lots of modems to try as well as some tweaks.

I'm sure you can get better speeds.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] wardoc22:
I don't think modems have very much effect on speed but I'll try it tomorrow.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Oh, I think you may be quite surprised! Just take some time to read what I have posted there and check the map to see who has reported the best speeds in your area and with which modem.

And as for the effect, just read most of the posts in that thread for other users reports.

odin back to stock today and then spent about 45 minutes in online chat with a T-mobile csr that had me run some test and what not.

After another 0.47/0.25 Mb/s speed test with 3 bars of 4g, I was told I should be getting great speeds and somethings wrong.... No kidding. Then they told me they would have to escalate my issue to the t-mobile engineering team and to check back with them in 72hrs... Not sure how all the lines on our account could be so slow no matter what area we are in. :mad:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DigitalUnderground:
Careful letting them put you off for 72 hours... i think its a way to stall you out while they hope it gets fixed on its own. Before I had truly unlimited data, I was throttled. Then my billing cycle restarted... and I was still throttled. After two 72 hr waits, it finally worked again. Needless to say, I upgraded to truly unlimited. Tmous won that battle :what::sly:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] briand805:
Not sure what else i can do at this point. I tried reconfig of apns and modems to no avail. I think the only thing we can do is hope they fix it and stay on them about it.

I am thinking about moving from Sprint to Tmo. When you guys Hotspot, do they throttle the speeds? Sprint does not allow hotspot of 4G and when you Hack hotspot they have the Hotspot throttled so no one can get over 1 Mb. Just curious how Tmo would differ. Anyone near west Huntington beach, West Hills or Sacramento (Woodland to be specific) get as good as these speeds? Could some of you guys post your 3G speeds as well.

To test Hospot speed hotspot to your laptop/other device and run Speedtest on it.

Addison, on corner of Church and Fullerton internet is very slow, and in the shop building T-Mobile has no penetration at all.

14 by the library? Hmmm... I'll have to test it next time I'm over that way. Trying to compare with others in our area. I believe there was someone in the first few pages of this thread that was getting almost 25 in Arlington Heights. Wish I knew exactly where because I never really topped 10 anywhere except for the one time I went to the Olive garden and got 23+. Most places I get slower speeds than I did with my Sensation. I thought speeds with this phone were supposed to be twice as fast? I assume though that's only if the towers are built for it? If that's the case the "4G" data coverage sucks. I mean, what do they do? Put one tower in the most populated part of town and that's it? The rest get normal speeds? High speeds my ass.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] chamala2000:
There is something going on in the area. Till friday all worked awesome, and in the Friday evening my data speed went down to 300mbps.

Called TM they reset the tower and speed went up again only for 20 minutes, after that went back to 300mbps. They created a ticket and I have to wait 72hrs for the fix (if any). If I move toward the hospital speed is going up, I think something died on a tower in the area.
