I've been using the speedtest.net app to test this wonderful LTE speed pretty much everywhere I go. When I tested it several times inside the building at work Monday I got roughly 20mbps. Earlier today (Wednesday) I tested it several more times and was consistently getting 14-16mbps which is still good. Just now I tested it several more times and I'm only getting roughly 4-6 mbps! What gives? All of these tests have been done in the same spot in the same building. Should I be alarmed? Please help!

Blame it on the LTE service not the phone. I have 3 LTE towers with 10 miles of eachother and the same thing happens. But I can consistently hit 20+ mbps on a good day.

If there are not 10,000 ppl using lte when u do ur speed test, the speeds should be awesome, but... if there are 10,000 ppl using it, and all trying to dload stuff t the same time.... well, its gonna slow down.
Just like a wifi router at home... just me surfing, dl'ing stuff... speed is unreal... but get the gf with her ipad goin, the kids playing xbox, and whatever other devices are connected and using the web... speeds slow down... same concept. More ppl using the network = slower speeds.
yeah, the 4G LTE network is still relatively new and will keep growing. Not unlike the early 3G days. It'll get bogged down by high traffic. Just be glad you're getting 4G consistently. Around here in western NY, it's hit and miss. More often than not, I'm on 3G.

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

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.

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.

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 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.

Wow! After what seemed like two weeks of worse than dial-up speed, I just ran a test (same time in the evening as the abysmal speeds) and I am back up to pre-iphone speeds, avg around 1.2-1.6 Mbps. SE NC here.
Hello,
I am coming from an iPhone 4S that was on the 3G market to the HTC One which is on the 4GLTE market. I currently have unlimited data.
However, since I received my HTC One, I have only had 2 or 3 bars. My D/L speed is around 2Mbps and my U/L speed is lucky to reach 1Mbps.
Has anyone else had similar issues? I am located in the DC/Baltimore area.
Thanks

I am in my work building, I am hoping that is the reason.
Could be that the network is extremely congested in the big city that you are in.
Make sure you have LTE enabled on your account. You MIGHT need a new SIM but I doubt it.
I've been using the same sim since my iPhone 4s

Yup, I made sure they checked. Also, when I run the speedtest, it shows that I am on the LTE network. I will try once I am out of the office and hope for an improvement or else this could cause issues moving forward.

If you didn't swap out your SIM card that is your problem. Swap it out and make sure you are on the lte unlimited this should fix your problem.
Once AT&T gets LTE to our area, I'll let ya know It ends 55 miles south of me in Healdsburg. We have LTE here, but from Verizon, U.S. Cellular and Metro PCS. That said, I did get a chance to test it on our monthly Costco run to Santa Rosa, and maxed out at 46 down and 22 up.
At my home in Long Beach, I average 13d, 3-4u
At work in Compton, I average 23-30d, 10-15u - with the highest download being 41 (in Compton)
In Youngstown, Ohio, a small market between Cleveland & Pittsburgh, we just got LTE, but it's on limited towers. I have to go 2 streets down from my house to even get my phone to stay on LTE. Here are my speeds when on, though. Pretty good, Id say!

I get 20-25 mbps up and around 7 down
Coming from a galaxy nexus which had kinda meh 4G speeds, my 4G speeds on the N3 are insane.
I take my son to/from school every day and it's only about 3 minutes down the road. When I'm there waiting to pick him up in the afternoons I've been doing some speed tests. In that specific location I've been getting crazy speed readings. I tried a few diff servers with similar results. There must be a tower literally right there.
These are my two fastest results. The faster result is about 7 MEGABYTES per sec. That's pretty crazy. I pay $39/month for my home cable broadband, and that's only 10 Mbps, which is only about 1 MB/s. lol, sad.
It's not a false reading either. Just to confirm I downloaded a few apps, and sure enough a 13MB app downloaded in about 2 seconds.
Anyone else getting speeds like this??
Back before LTE was overloaded I got speeds like that. The one below is my fastest of all time. Just waiting for AWS to roll out now.

Back when I got my first 4g phone I got something like 40up 60down at SEATAC airport. About 40 and 40 at denver airport. Had to run the test a few times before I believed I was actually getting those speeds. Which brings up the interesting point of data caps and just how stupidly fast you can pass them with these speeds -_-
Eh, Speedtest timed out trying to find a server in downtown San Francisco. Is that the apps' fault or is something else awry?
Finally connected: 1.01 mbps down, .08 mpbs up.
Called the local corporate store in downtown SF, their service department is booked solid for the whole day...I wonder why.
