AT&T vs StraightTalk

I have been using iPhones since August 2007, which includes the original iPhone to the iPhone 3G to the iPhone 4 and now the iPhone 4S. I have tried a few of them jail broken, but not in the last 2 years, and when I did it was usually for a few days or an older iPhone.

When Google dropped the price of the Galaxy Nexus during Google IO 2012, I bought one. For a while I used it with my AT&T sim card and in mid August I bought a StraightTalk sim card and a 1 month service card.

In some other posts I will give my thoughts on the 2 phones, but in the post, I will be listed my tested data speeds using the SpeedTest app on each. For each sets of test, all apps on the devices were closed and then the SpeedTest app was reopened. Each phone is running the latest os available.

iPhone 4S 3G data chip is:
HSDPA 14.4 Mbps / HSUPA 5.8 Mbps

Galaxy Nexus 3G data chip is:
HSDPA 21 Mbps / HSUPA 5.76 Mbps

All tests are:
iPhone 4S is AT&T
Nexus is StraightTalk or AT&T
Ping in ms / DL in Kbps / UL in Kbps

    Would you be willing to post your APN settings for your Nexus phone when using the ST sim?
