Lol...that is a screen shot from the www that I linked to show the results from the 3g speed fix that samsung/sprint were getting.

The OTA MR will not install auto....you will get a pop up asking if you want to install...etc.

haha no way...i had that speeds but i realize my software wanst updated i had DG27..so i used odin back to stock, and it updated to DI07 then to DI18. my uploaded speeds are around 400-700 and my download 600-800..but when i was in DI07 (for 10 minutes only) my download speed was around 1 megabyte..any ideas? ha

Well, it would appear that the latest update has helped the upload problem. I am now getting average download speeds of 1.5 Mbps and upload speeds of .33 Mbps. Now, unless I really am as bad at math as I think I am, .33 Mbps is the same as 330 Kbps, which is about double the speed cap we had of 150 Kbps. But what I want to know is if that is really as fast as 3G should be, or should it be faster?

So I got my Epic 3 days before launch as a prize from samsung.... I wonder if my phone is any different than everyone else's? I have had no such problem with upload speeds. And I just checked for any additional updates and I dont see DI18 available... but I saw it come up on a new activation I did today... Hmmmmm any thoughts??

Here are the vers..

F/W 2.1-update1
Baseband ver S:d700.0.5S.DI07
kernel 2.6.29
HW ver D700.0.5

Grats...The update came out in waves..so it may just not be up to it yet..some people claimed when they went and downloaded something from the market they got he update. If you are in a hurry you can download the update.zip and flash it manually.

Either way DI118 fixed all upload issues.

I would say it's fixed. When I email myself files large files, I get the email within seconds.
