[Q] What APN works best for you?

[howetechnical]

Hi all,

Yesterday I found a thread here somewhere that listed some different APN settings that may provide faster data than the stock T-Mo one, but after 30 minutes of searching around, I cannot find it again.

What APN settings seem to work best for you? I was getting between 5Mbps-6Mbps down on my Vibrant, and figured it should be noticeably faster on the Sensation, but it's the same (it was 3Mbps until I changed to the SIM that came with the Sensation, now it's back up to 5-6). I know T-Mo recently upgraded the towers in San Diego (where I live) to accommodate the new 42Mbps stream, but I'm still getting between 5 and 6 down.

Any replies with alternate APN settings that work better (for you) would be appreciated. Thanks!

The 42 Mbps is theoretical speeds. Right now the fastest anyone can get is 10 & that's only with the USB modem they sell. If you're getting 5-6 you're getting pretty good speeds

Just so you'll know, the Sensation is NOT capable of HSPA+ 42Mbps.

The only thing that is capable right now from TMo is that rocket stick 3.0 for laptops etc.

5-7mb down is about as good as you'll ever get on the Sensation. In theroy it can get 14.4mbps down....in theroy...not reality.

You'll have to wait for a phone that supports the 42mbps down....even then you'd be lucky to hit a third of that. As is the same with 14.4....

The good news is that Tmo says it will make the 14.4 capable devices a little more consistent. That could negligible though....and also complete BS.

Here is their press release awhile back....
