For the first time I'm in a city with 4g. Excitedly I check my phone... Full bars yea! So I open a web page and I see it isn't much faster the 3g so I do a speed test and prove my hypothesis. After 3 test I don't see a huge difference is that a tower thing or what I don't care I use WiFi at home and don't really need that much speed when I am away from my house or school I just expected more.

It is probably different speeds in different cities. I had a similar experience, don't have 4g in my area . I was traveling through a city with it and it was 4 times faster than my 3 g speeds , but slower than my WiFi at home.

Try downloading a Rom on 3g vs 4g. At roughly 500mb 3g would take hours. With my lower then average 4g area at my house it still only takes a few minutes. If I go to certain areas around town its even faster.
My 4G is faster than the wifi in my house about 8/10 times with the average around 15-20mbps with the highest I've gotten is around 40.
I'm able to download a 500mb file in about 5 minutes or less.
My 4g smokes my Comcast line, and I have the faster residential since I have Directv. I get low end 8-10 and I have found over 40 a couple times around Metro Detroit.

I also agree that it depends on the city. I'm in Houston and see a dramatic difference between my 3g and 4g. I could never go back to just 3g now and for the rare occurance I'm not in a 4g area, I usually won't even mess with my phone.
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using Tapatalk
my 4g varies from .85 to 30 mbps down. Just hit or miss. Depends on the time of day I guess.
It all depends on location. It could be the towers, the signal strength, or how many people are using 4G in that location. When I'm at work I usually only pull 8-10 Mbps, but in other areas I've gotten around 20 Mbps. Not quite as fast as my home internet, but very close. I wish I were fortunate to live some place where I could pull 40+ Mbps speeds like I see some people do, but alas, it wasn't meant to be...

Where I live I only get 3G.
When I work in Houston my 4G averages about 22Mb/s, but when I have to work in Texas City (an hour down the road from Houston) and the 4G tower there gives me about 16Mb/s. Both of which blow my 3G speeds away.
I guess different towers just work better.

So I will be changing from my Vibrant to the Evo 3d. I'm kinda concerned about some of the reports about sprints 4g wimax download speeds. Some of them say they get an average of 1.5mb/s.
My Galaxy S gets 5 mb/s in a good spot, and about 1 to 1.5 mb/s at home. I live just north of Atlanta so I should be getting 4g at my house.

here in new orleans we dont have 4G, But we have a great 3g network. I get a consistent 1050-1120 kbps no matter what time of the day I or where I test. I guess the benefits of having 3 highways run straight through the city and as you may know we had a little hurricane come by and wipe everything out. It took a year to get back 3G here. You would think that they would have just put up the wimax system then ( late 2007), but maybe it was not in phase yet. Durring the hurricane the only system that stayed up and running was sprint. Everyone else was out of order and it left thousands without a way to communicate.
Anyway my pops lives in a suburb of Chicago and when I was there I got 4G speeds of 3mbps at his house, and 2.2 - 6mbps in the city depending on if I was outside or inside.

Wow...crazy ranges there that I'm calling BS on without proof.
I'm in Chicago and have seen 5mb/s on my EVO once or twice...usually it's right around 2mb/s (very, very sad, since I could do more than that on 3G back in Iowa).
On my Overdrive, on a good day, it'll get up to 6mb/s but if I stay there too long they'll kill my connection (yes, no throttling, just straight up kill the connection).
I have also used 4G in Dallas, Seattle, Kansas City, and I believe somewhere else (Tulsa??) and they're all about the same speed. If anything, i would say Dallas was the fastest (maybe up to 6-7mb/s on my Overdrive).
All I know is the 4G on the EVO is horrible. I played with a Thunderbolt (Verizon, obviously) and it was doing 10+mb/s constantly on Internet Speed Test. If it weren't so expensive to have two data lines with them, I would've made the switch a couple months ago when my contract was up....

Funny, my story is exactly the same. Always have a 4G phone, but have never had 4G coverage. I sometimes get 4G when I go to Columbus, but I don't go very often. Cincinnati also has it, but I don't travel there often either. I have 30mb broadband at home and an airrave, so my 3G speeds are good at home. Around town 3G is awful here. Even if I have a strong signal the 3G speeds are absolute ****. Hopefully the Network Vision will make it better, but I'll believe it when I see it.
I use it as much as possible. I mean, I get 5mb down out in town. So it makes downloading high definition porn a lot easier. XD
I use 4g a few times a week. I don't turn it on unless I'm downloading roms. otherwise uses to much battery and takes to long to turn on compaired to wifi. I get 7mb down on 4g, so its not like it isn't quick enough for a phone. My broadband is 10mb. 3g is usually fast enough. By the time I turn on 4g and start a download 3g usually is finished. For apps from the market that is.

As the title says what are the speeds I should be getting. I am in the Los Angeles, O.C. area and with speed test at anytime I can get anywhere from 4Mbps to 20Mbps with it generally hovering around 7-8Mbps. I thought LTE was suppose to be a good deal faster than GSM 3G, which is suppose to be around 3-7Mbps. Now is speeds I get normal, or is there something wrong? If there really is something wrong, what are my options? Thanks.

I'm in the Metro Detroit area and we have 4g pretty much everywhere. With a weak signal I get 3-6 down and 1 up, but when my signal is strong I get between 13-16 down and 10-13 up. Oddly enough, though I get a better signal on average with the rezound than when I had galaxy nexus, the galaxy nexus seemed to pull higher speeds when it did have a good 4g signal. I topped out around 35 down and 20 up with the galaxy nexus. It couldn't hold a 4g signal like the rezound does though. It would kick back to 3g off and on.
They are not advertising a speed yet because it changes so much due to demand and infrastructure. I have gotten over 60 mbps. But average 30mbps. The larger your city, the higher the demand. I live by Notre Lame so demand isn't as high as your big cities. Give it a year or 2 I'm sure they will sell speed based packages instead of bandwidth like cable does.

I get around 15mbps in Central NJ (New Brunswick). When I went up to NYC I was getting about 20mbps.
It really depends on how close you are to the tower and how many people have LTE in your area.
I'm about an hour outside of Houston and I average 25-30 down and 10 up.
So then my speeds are typical for a large metro area, like where I am located?
3g GSM's specs say it can allow 3-7mb/s, but I bet most people out there with 3g devices pull about 700kb/s to maybe 1mb/s in a place with a strong signal. I had an Incredible 2 before this phone and the fastest internet speed I had was 1mb/s standing next to a tower. LTE is lightyears ahead of 3g. I personally think 7-8mb/s is great, not outstanding, but for surfing the web, downloading ROMs, and watching videos its more than enough for most. The 20mb/s + speeds are more for show than anything...

What is everyone's 4G speeds?? And what ROM and/or radio are you running??
When I first got my Rez on 1/22 my 4G speeds were insane. I could get a steady 28M down and 14M up anytime anywhere in my area (Columbia/Lexington SC). Now my speeds are 2-5M down and and 2M up, but the ping is still very good at 50ms, so it shouldn't be a poor connection issue. Also, I've got 4-5 bars at pretty much all times. Quite a drastic drop off. I've called Verizon and asked them WTF. They will not tell me if they have started throttling in this area on purpose or not. I'm also wondering if its the new radio in the OTA they sent out. My speeds were great pre-OTA and now they are terrible post-OTA, but I didnt test right after the OTA so I dont know if that was the cause or not. Also, now my wifi speeds seem to be limited to 5M down, where as my internet connection is 15M down and my Mac and my Win laptop both hit 15M down, so its not a router/cable modem issue.
I've thought about flashing backwards and testing the pre-OTA radio again now to see if the new radio is the culprit, but I'd like to see what everyone else's experiences are first before I flash back and lose everything on my phone.
So, please post your 4G speeds, location, and rom/radio. Thanks!
New radio on ineffabalis 1.3 and I get 8 down on a bad day 15 down regularly. Your speeds will drop with the more people that get LTE in your area. I used to get 38 down in Cincinnati when the thunderbolt first came out. I got it on launch day.

Yea, I realize that the more people get 4G the slower it'll get. That's what worries me. In just less than one month its gone from 28/14 all the way down to 5/2. And Verizon has announced that every smartphone in 2012 will be 4G. How slow will it get down to? My AT&T HSPA+ phone could get 3/1.5 consistently.
One test I did this morning with 4 bars was only 2211 down and 2771 up. Thats 3G speeds.
And the upload is super jerky, it bounces all over the place.

We have a lot of LTE users at work. But I think the tower is closer and is pumped up more.
I've been told, that none of the towers are at full capacity and have lots of room to "improve" as needed, meaning that as needed, they can boost them up to handle more traffic and users.

That was my understanding. From what I had been told the towers in my area are between 25-30% of full power. I haven't really seen speeds get faster since I first got my thunderbolt, but they are more stable. 4G LTE used to bounce ALL over the place. Now whatever speed I get it sits very consistant at.
Speedtest.net shows me getting 15 down it sits at 15 the whole go. It used to be say when I was getting 38 forever ago, that it'd bounce from 30-38 through the whole test.

At work im able to get 10-15 down and 2-8 up. At home it avg's about 2-4 down and .5 mb/s. Like some else said, its a lot more reliable but my home speeds dropped drastically. It used to get 15-20 down and 8-10 up.
While being reliable, at home it dropps as slow as 500 kb/s on 4G!! I have 2-3 bars/avg 89 DBM, what gives? From my understanding, 4G ISN'T supposed to be lower than 5 MB/s according to Verizon.

I would call them if I were you. I never goten lower than 1.5Mbs. I wish I could say they have been reliable, but I drop data a lot.
Speeds from Salisbury Md
Here is what I got a couple nights ago while at applebee's. I think this is the first and maybe only 4g tower in our area. The last two are 4g, I switched to 3g only to see the difference, and a couple of wifi tests are there too.
Full LTE service - 20 miles from the server.

OK, I am blown away at how fast T-Mobile 4G LTE is.
I get crazy speeds. Like over 85Mbps. I even get over 100Mbps at times. That's faster then my Comcast. LOL [emoji1] T-Mobile really does have the fastest 4G LTE in the Nation. I am loving T-Mobile service. Beats Sprint Spark LTE. Anyways what do you guys think? [emoji4]

Here's my speedtest,from Cumming,Georgia
sorry won't let me attach a photo!
That has yo be a temporary glitch. Dont get used to those speeds. I think they would advertise speeds like that. Best i get is 19 mbs.

I get high 70's in South East Texas
Mid 40s to low 70s constantly for me depending on where I am.
My speeds are definitely not the fastest in the world but they are pretty darn fast!!

Seattle/Kent Washington area. Always get 60Mbps+ compared to Sprint Spark Fast Network at 12Mbps max. Lol Sprint really Blows! Lol ?
My speed test WiFi is Comcast with my own WiFi box and second pic is my abismal tmobile lte speed....
Sorry idk why it decided to upload images twice like that ...
I get around 50 down and 10ish up with my G900T on AT&T in Scottsdale, AZ.
Also, around 50. I'm in Lake Ridge, Northern Virginia -just 20 minutes from Washington DC. T-Mobile in the last year has really boost the speed in this area, a year ago I got less than 10 Mbps.
Hahaha this is what I get . Im in Georgia south of Atlanta

I get close to that depending on what part of my city I'm in. Normally I get high 20's to low 40's.
Considering network load during the daytime, that's pretty good for most carriers. At night I can go above 70.

These are indeed crazy numbers. Only after the recent software upgrade did my speeds go up into the mid 20's. I tried multiple phones in the last year and a half trying to get higher than 5-7 mbps. Just gave up and pegged it to being in a low spot at my residence (?). I posted here that I thought that a trip to the USVI summer before last had screwed up my data speed on Tmo's side. They told me twice that my settings on their end were screwy.
I'm not a power user so never really had performance that I was unhappy with overall. I love my S5. I have been seeing these low speeds when I check with Speedtest. Just got a refurbed Note3 (which I like a lot) and my speedtest tells me it is giving me between 13 and 24 over 4 tests. I'm happy with that.
Have never in nearly two years of LTE here seen anything over 28 mbps, so 80 is pretty impressive indeed.
Also a question-My Speedtest app's "odometer" tops out at 50mbps.......?
wish I could get that high of speed
Usually only get 18Mb/sec down and 7 up. Called them and they said it was pretty much the only tower north of the river here in Kansas City that was LTE enabled. YAY me...../sarcasm
Over my wifi, I get the usual 100Mb/sec down and 6 up as that is what I pay Time Warner for. So no complaints there.
Using Twizted Lollipop 5.0 V1 as well on my S5.
Super fast.
Cali speed suks. ..
From home I get 70+... fastest speedtest was 106mbps. So insane and way faster than the 40mbps with comcast which I always thought was unbeatable in the area.
So anyone getting throttled for downloading torrents or other stuff. A few months ago I posted a link saying tmobile would throttle your data if they find out your using your unlimited 4g Lte to download stuff. Well it's been a few months and I'm still going strong. I still can't believe Tmobile Is faster then Comcast. That's just crazy. Wonder how Sprints data service is going. Lol not the Spark network is complete crap. Sprint Says The Spark is the nation's fastest data service. They must be smoking to much crack. Because I know some people that have Sprints Spark LTE data service and it can't even get 10Mbps most of the time. And the data goes off and on all day long. I even tried Sprint Spark network with the Galaxy s5 and after a week I gave it back and switched back to tmobile. So T-Mobile Rocks!
I can confirm that I too get pretty fast speeds. I was blown away a few days ago with these results!

And of course this is with my S4. I just bought my S5 today since my S4 broke today.
