I definitely got a decent speed increase after flashing the data file.. Double the speed
I got the sg3 on black Friday, coming for the Evo with working 4g Wimax, this is painful. Thanks

I am blown away right now. I too had an og epic and this string didnt do much for the speed. I just flashed it on my s3 and literally just more than doubled my speeds. I got about 600k dl speeds before and I just hit 1.43 mb download speeds on freakin 3g. All I can say is unbelievable. Thanks so much for this. With not having LTE in my town yet this will really help.

I just linked to an old thread, please give Marcusant the thanks. He did the work.

Yeah I'm from the same area and the 3G in Battle Creek sucks ass...My fiance works in Mendon which is about 35 miles southwest and I get a lot better speeds down in that area even though there are less towers out that way...

They need more towers in BC that is for sure, hopefully that will be part of this upgrade they're supposed to be doing. I get great speeds in Portage.

    Coming from the Epic 4G I remembered a little script Marcusant wrote awhile back that promised increased 3G speeds. I had forgotten about it, but always had it on my Epic, and didn't think much of it, or even knew if it really worked.

    So I noticed my 3G speeds since getting my S3 have seemed slower, so I remembered that thread. Installed it and you can see my results in the picture. 1st three test without, last one with. I was pleasantly surprised. I have done several other tests since this screenshot with similar results. YMMV.

    Please make sure to Thank Marcusant.

    I'm just fine with my 30 mpbs down with LTE and unlimited data on Sprint.

    No doubt. I'm in a little town north of Baltimore, MD out in the middle of nowhere and I have pretty good service. Calls never drop, 3g is consistent, and I just yesterday discovered that we have lte. I've been with Sprint since 2000. Started with Nextel and then wanted smart phones. I pay a lot less than friends on Verizon and t-mo and they get little to no signal in this lost little burg. My S3? I get 3 bars most time with more minutes than I could possibly use and unlimited everything else.
    I've said it before and I'll say it again. Some people just aren't happy with anything they have. My neighbor has t-mo and *****es all the time, neighbor on the other side *****es about Verizon, my sons ***** about Sprint (I pay all the bills so I don't know why they complain). No service is perfect and complaining on a forum where your provider will never see it doesn't make sense to me.
    I agree with y.g. I'm happy with the speeds I'm pulling in.

    Like I said I don't remember it giving me much of a boost on my Epic, but I'm glad I found it again :)

    Agree. will be flashing it to the S3 here in a bit. Too lazy to boot into recovery now and do it LOL
