I seriously doubt that speed came from any GSM phone. Including GSM-A. Not to be a Debbie Downer or anything, but I have only seen numbers like that a few times in my life under very weird circumstances that come from a cellular device except for at CES 2010 in Las Vegas where they had the WiMax demos in full effect, even then there were maybe 6 users, and they were all cell phones. So its still deceiving either way. I'll tell ya how to prove it though. Record the phone screen with a digi cam and post the video of the phone running the process. Haha. Reguardless, this has been a very interesting thread. I have a Nokia E71-2 jailbroken + unlocked and have had it for about 2 years, I average around 2-3mbit/sec down and 1.5mbit/sec up. I'll post screens after I finish downloading itunes

I also know that post is super annoying with the colors, bold, and underlines. I just cant help myself. Way too ADD to be allowed in a forum.

Welcome to the real world! as you can see the date on my test is far beyond the 2010 date you mentioned here.You will also find the numbers higher than any WiMax device ever used, these speeds approach FiOS speed. There are MANY people that get these speeds at any time and on any day of the week. With enough money and know how,any one can have a phone number cellular device with internet speeds as good or better than the one I posted!. There is even a Forum full of us just like here. The Android cellular device I used can be bought for only $862.47 at any best buy TODAY!(price is high for this device but you have to pay to play hard I find it worth every penny). And service costs only $30.00 a month with no contract pre paid. I just drop a sim card in and I am good to go!. Yes, I own and use a straight talk phone as well, this is how I found this forum. But for data I use a different cell device.

Can you share the device name, location and the service plan with all of us?

Well he just proved to me that thats from VZW LTE, not Straight Talk.

**Volaris** · 11-15-2011, 04:47 PM

Has anyone used a Samsung Skyrocket or HTC Vivid on Straight Talk to see if LTE works for our SIM cards? I don't see why it wouldn't, though.

Hello goldsworthy, I'd like to know the info you had also just mentioned.. care to pm?

I think part of the reason ST GSM-A will never see super fast HSPA speeds is that we're proxied through AT&T servers in Chicago. Meaning our data is routed from your location to AT&T's servers in Chicago before going back out into the public internet. This adds latency and the higher latency impedes the higher speeds.

This is just my guess...

It also might have something to do with the APN wap.cingular:

There’s one last tangential question about HSPA+ on the 4S, specifically on AT&T. I’ve left this to the end since it doesn’t impact non-US 4S users, but the last question is whether the 4S is actually on HSPA+. For a while, I was concerned that AT&T would continue using the wap.cingular APN on the 4S which seems shaped to around 7.2 Mbps HSDPA. I’m glad to report that AT&T hasn’t continued using wap.cingular on its 4S data plans, instead using “phone” which is a newer APN that allows for HSPA+ (above 7.2 Mbps) rates. You can check this yourself under PDP Context Info on the 4S in field test.

I believe the APN "phone" has to be provisioned on your account. - so kinda of what you were guessing.

I am using an unlocked Tmobile Samsung Vibrant (Galaxy S) w/ ST sim. From the phone itself the speedtest app only shows 2-3mbps.

But using Barnacle wifi tethering my laptop gets 5 mbps when I do a speedtest! I'm extremely happy with that speed, considering my old VM Intercept was much slower, and even my current DSL (I use a neighbor's actually, but still) is only 2mbps at the most. I'm very impressed!
