[Q] Average Verizon LTE 4G Speeds? - Motorola Droid RAZR

Just doing a quick survey. If you could just state your location and your estimated average speeds on Verizon's LTE network, it would really help me win an argument.
Thanks!

About 16 kbps down and 5-6 kbps up here in Seattle.

I live in San Diego, where I live I get around 17 down & 6-7 up.
BUT, I work around the corner from Qualcomm, and I get around 29-35 down & 10-12 up at work.
It's nice to be REALLY close to where they test all the chipsets

I live and work around the Baltimore/DC area here are some of my results, the best one was in Columbia MD @ 25Mbps down.

I get roughly 10 Mb down and 5.5 Mb up @ Detroit, Michigan. I'm hoping for that RAZR update which improves LTE performance.

What sucks the most about Verizons data isn't the speed, it's the dam data plans, you don't get very much data for money.

Haha. My feelings exactly. Verizon 4g just went live in my area...to bad it costs twice as much.
I average 0. Yep...big ole fat 0 because I don't live or work anywhere near a 4G network. Well...Verizons is near by...
i had 10meg down once....only once...
I'm still on my a quest to find the legendary 4th G. I'm pretty sure it doesn't exist in Illinois.
I have 4g in my area...they havent advertised it yet..must be doin testing...but i get it at my house and tge mall a couple miles away
I only get bout 2megs down no matter what...slow. but a year ago i coyldnt get anything

I can get 10-12 here in Elk Grove Village
10-12Dn 2-4 up around Portland OR pretty consistantly
Sitting in a building across the street from the Sprint office here in Itasca (I-290 & Thorndale Ave.), top floor:
2750k down, 750k up
I set up a wireless router off the office LAN and use that instead, in addition to using the 18mbps U-Verse Wi-Fi at home (live on the south side of Chicago), cause the 4G has left me feeling a little less than enthusiastic. Yeah, the speed is better than (for the most part) 3G, but I hate seeing all the T-Mobile goons coming up to me with their 12-15mbps numbers.
in IL here pretty much all along lake cook road gets fantastic 4g from chicago all the way out to algonquin (where the road ends)

sprints 3G network..

whys everyone complain so much? I just did some tests on 3G, was getting 1.8mps 1.7mps 1.8mps download and around 1-1.5 upload with just above 100ping, hell i can game on that all I want. at my friends apartment we play gears of War online using my photon, i get around 250 ping there but there is NO lag in game. and it only used like 60kbps? small huh?
edit- and people complain about the 4G.. now I understand for the people that don't have it but in laurel mississippi/kansas city ANYWHERE I go (especially kansas city) i have 2-full 4G bars and in Kansas City I have coverage an hour away from the actual city in any direction

lucky you.
i get a ping of 500-700 down of 175-300 kbps and upload of 400-600kbps
whats worse is with 4g i get about a ping of 300-320 download is 800kbps to 1700kbps and upload is 100-300kbps and this is not peak time where i live. during peak time 4g is worse than 3g.
My speed has be improving

What speeds do other carriers get? I tested Verizon's before 4g ever came out and it was close to 3 mbps

Sprints speeds are by far the worst in the industry. Their equipment sucks, their service sucks and they are so far behind it's a joke. I just did a speed test and got 475 kbps down and 550 kbps up. Thats a complete joke in Phoenix Az. I would test 4g but oh yeah, Sprint never gave it to us here like we were promised.
Yesterday I got 2.35 down and .85 up. And I get a steady 1.89 down and 1.07 up.

Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
well I'm living in the areas with the upgrades nd what not, they have amazing 4G and 3G so I'd just wait, personally I think sprint is making it ahead of the game in the long run.. they already have future plans for lte-advance deployment after the LTE deployment..
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
What are you guys using to read those speeds???
Mopho....
The obvious reason that people complain is because not everyone is capable of getting those speeds via 4g must less 3g. If I could get 500 up and down on 3g on a regular basis I would probably be happy. As it stands I'm lucky to get a quarter of that.
Its great you have good speeds, but you should realize you are in the extreme minority when it comes to Sprint customers.

The problem with all this is that it's the future, and promises. The reason i switched to Sprint was 4g. But still don't have it. 2 years of waiting. They need to catch up now, or people will jump ship.

I envy all of you for being happy with those awful speeds. I left 8-10 mbps on tmo to come in and max out at 500kbps on sprint on a good day. I suck it up because this is the best phone ever.
Sent from my MoPho using the XDA Premium app
As long as I get 1 mbps down I'm happy. I don't see the need to have 10-40mbps download speeds on a cell phone. I could care less about 4g, I rarely used it anyway. I've gotten as high as 2 mbps on sprints 3g and that was more than enough speed.

I would be content with 2mb, but it's hard to watch Netflix or youtube with a couple hundred kb.
Sent from my MoPho using the XDA Premium app
It all depends on where you're at, how good the Sprint coverage is, and how heavily taxed the network is.
Chicagoland USED to be fantastic, but it has suffered dramatically over the course of the last year.
I live in chandler...4g in the area and my speeds r double
Hate much. Lol

How fast should my 4g be?

I have heard people say you have a (ex) 21/7 plan or a 14/6 plan. Are there actually plans like this and how do i know what kind i have? Does this have to do with the towers, the phone or just Verizon?
Excuse my ignorace
They list speeds of 5-12mbs down load and 2-5mbs upload. You may get more or you may get less.
This all has to do with what phone you are using, the tower you are using and the # of users on the tower.
There are no different plans. It depends on the phone and where you are. I got like 22Mbs on my GNEX and Rezound near pittsburgh, but only about 6-11 near Youngstown. So it really is a big difference in variables.
I've hit 29 down and 5 up.

I travel often to remote locations. I must say, some pretty random cities/towns have lte coverage. I personally live in the ny metropolitan area and in my home I only get like 4 Mbps down on lte. In detroit (a ghost town)I got almost 30, in aurora ohio I was getting 24 down, in summerville sc I was also getting about 24 down. It kind of upsets me that I live in a metropolis with either a crowded 4g network or just plain slow. There are areas in the ny area where I get really fast connection speeds. Not in my house though.

LTE speeds on AT&T

Just some early testing of my LTE speeds on AT&T's LTE network. I had a GNex before and normally I maxed out at 3MBps down and 1.5MBps up. LTE is so much faster. Amazing

AT&T LTE is nice, but it's a bit slower than I expected in San Diego. I was seeing 35-50mbps everywhere else. I'm averaging around 12-15 here in this area.
