I tried running some download speeds in both modes and didn't see any difference, but did notice that I'm getting better 3G speeds than I've ever seen before. Here are my results that I posted in jimmiekain's "
How to find Sprint Towers" thread:
I just ran 6 tests while sitting here at work in Orlando (Sandlake Road/Florida Mall area) and got the highest 3G speeds I've ever seen.
First three were CDMA only:
kb up/ kb down
2283/694
1933/732
2185/795
Next three were LTE/CDMA:
kb up/ kb down
2299/762
2208/738
1746/806
In the past, I would get download speeds between 700kb-1500kb. This is with about 5 out of 6 bars for signal strength. It looks like some improvements have been made around here. I'll try to test 3G in other parts of Orlando and see if I also notice improvements.
