Depends on where you are located. Also depends if you are on an "android" coded plan as well. Many here including me had their data disconnected because our grandfathered data plans were deemed incompatible with the IMEI. Meaning the data plan was not correctly coded to work with the S4G.

So what many of us did was nicely ask to have our plan's recoded so that our phones can use the said data. I was given my same data package with texts and included no cost increase. I was told they gave this to me for being a loyal tmo customer for at least 10 years.

I have now been getting~3-5mpbs uploads maxing out at 5.66 so far with 3 bars at my desk at work. Not great, but its been constant for me anyways.

Well that beats my constant 500k and maybe 1mbit if I get lucky. 80dbm signal as well. I came from Verizon LTE 20+mbit, and this really blows.
