Very very very slow hspa+ data speeds on Iphone 4S

[Irish Rose ACE - Master]

I returned my 4S and went back to my iPhone 4. I tested the 4S out for 29 days in a lot of locations and in the end I only saw 6Mbps once or twice when I first got the 4S. Speeds on it after that were no where near what they should be for a 4G device. The areas that I tested did have 4G availability too.

Sometimes newer isn't always better, as it has proven to be true in your case, Irish Rose. Still, I bet you enjoyed the iPhone 4S experience and wouldn't mind going back to one.

Hopefully Apple will change the design of the next iPhone, to make a more noticeable difference in exterior appearance - not that the current iPhones aren't already attractive enough.

I've been having truoble too.  I know I'm 3 months late to the conversation, but once I get downtown and start work, by 9:00 in the morning, my #G data stops responding.  It is the most frustrating thing to not be able to accomplish what I want with such an expensive piece of hardware.  AT&T has issues and I'm about to the end of my rope with them.

Even if you live in a city that generally has good data speeds, there are going to be certain locations where there are issues. There are dead spots in every coverage area and AT&T is continuously trying to identify those spots and fix them. You would be helping tremendously if you would get the Mark Your Spot app and report those locations where your data stops responding. AT&T can't fix it if they don't know there is a problem.

What real world hspa+ speeds are you expecting to be getting?

[lizbeth NIezen]

no, you're not the only one. Im ready to throw my phone out the window- iPhone 4 - it's slowed down to turtle speed. no longer a smart phone but a real dumb one. Cant seem to get answers. just waiting to end my contract to go elsewhere. I think ATT's lines are too crowded and they can not deliver what they promised with these phones. I have unlimited service, pay premium, but get zero speed and service to improve this.  Thousands signing up for letters of complaint via NOw.org. check it out.
