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
Orlando Fl. Speeds on LTE I got as high as 60down and 17up. Screaming fast!

That doesnt seem anything like an LTE speed, try again at different time of day. I get around 30d 20u here.

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.
Are ya running a custom Rom? Some of them caused an ATT signal issue that's since been fixed. I'm using trick droid configured as international base with good signal

I get around 12 down, 8 up in Los Angeles...
HTC One (stock) in Rochester, NY: 20-30 Mbps down, 20-22 Mbps up. The upload is fairly consistent, but the download is all over the place. With Verizon
4G LTE, I used to get 25-45 Mbps down, 15-20 Mbps up.
LTE on my One is almost 2x as fast as my Note 2. It's blazing fast in SoCal

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!

So, for all of those lucky enough to receive the new EVO, what is your 3G speed. Post your speedtest screenshots and let us know what city you are in.
For the record, I didn't get one. :'(

Some tests I ran between my 3D and LTE
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26511061&postcount=2
I'd really like to see a comparison of WiMax speeds versus the 3G speeds of the LTEVO. I'm sure WiMax will still be faster, but I'm curious to see by how much.
Since I'm keeping my OG activated (for WiMax) until LTE is active in my area, it would be nice if the numbers were close enough for me to avoid having to carry around two phones for several months .
I'll post a speed test shortly

Wow. That's ridiculous. I've read it is faster on 3G than other phones (namely the 3D), but I wonder if most zones will see that much improvement. Seems hard to believe.

3G for me on the LTE is between 500-700kbps while the unofficial 4G (not on Sprints map but shows on Clear's and connects as Sprint). I just ran my 3D on WiMax to Speedtest it. In my house with 1 bar of 4G and I got 5490kbps down. So you will probably want to carry 2 phones for a bit
I've done three speedtests and average 280 kbps down and 350 up here in Minneapolis with 1-3 bars in my apartment building.
Edit: though I did just get this...
My OG EVO, EVO 3D, and Epic 4G Touch have all had atrocious 3G speeds. Way below other carriers. This phone appears to have great 3G speeds (relatively), and my girlfriend's Sprint iPhone 4S also gets pretty good 3G speeds. I wouldn't be surprised if Sprint purposely throttles data from certain devices and allocates more data to others. Makes sense that they would want iPhone uses to have decent data, they don't have a 4G option. Similar to the EVO LTE, no LTE in the immediate future for most.
I bring this up because it's common knowledge that Sprint's 3G is absolutely garbage, when it fact it could be Sprint purposely throttling data. I wonder what would happen if they just opened up the pipes even to everyone.
Once NetworkVision upgrades are done all this will be moot....not worth fretting over now...
Comparing WiMax to the 3G speed is a pointless task as well, imho....different animals all together; and no phone is going to be faster than the another on 3G really in areas where the problem is capacity ridden issues...In areas its not, then you can see benefit/differences due to different antennae tech and radios used...

Please don't dismiss this as not important, having usable 3g speeds until network vision comes out is important to many of us.We want this phone to succeed in all ways.
I haven't been able to test my speeds yet as it is taking forever (more than an hour so far) to download 6 apps over 3g. I screwed up and didn't test my OG Evo before I deactivated it, but it sure seems like the new lte Evo is a lot slower so far. I will update after it finally gets the speed test app downloaded.

Read what I wrote again...don't think u grasped what i was saying really....
Wasn't dismissing the importance of 3G speed as much as caring about the difference b/w what you got on your 3D and what you get now with the LTE...like I said no matter what phone you have the capacity troubled areas will continue to get slow speeds until NetworkVision is deployed in your area...Also its highly unlikely you will see a phone released that will get half the speed of its predecessor over 3G so there should be no worry really...b/c 90% any slow speed issues experienced here will be network related issues and not the phone...

i am updating to htc one this week and am pretty pumped to see this thread and hope lte will be here soon. but i did call tmo recently and they said there was no lte here in the valley. i came across a htc one x+ but I sold it because i was mostly receiving edge speeds due to the fact that it was an unlocked att device.

I am getting T-Mobile today. I am in the Collegeville area (between Reading and King of Prussia) so I'll let you know what I get.
In Reading I was able to pickup 3G on my AT&T version so it's being refarmed. In philly i was able to pickup LTE, but I'm in 29palms now so nothing but edge here.
Granted I'm using the AT&T version unlocked and on the $30 prepaid.
I get 4G LTE from T-Mobile in the 19426 and 19406 area codes. That is Collegeville/Trappe and King of Prussia.
Just picked up some very weak LTE in Allentown near MLK blvd. Got about 7 Mbs down and 10 Mbs up on a quick speedtest.

It seems to be on down near the Casino in South Side bethlehem now. It was on all night down there, but I only get 1 bar if I am lucky at my house several miles away. When I am on South Side for a few drinks, the speeds are around 35 down, 15 up.
Hopefully the fire up all the towers in the area soon!

Any news
In regards to lte in the Lehigh valley since the announcement from tmobile where they fired up all these other markets...idk wether to stay w tmobile or make the switch to AT&T or Verizon cuz I'm tired of having the slowest network at work (best buy)....
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.

Here's what I'm getting
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.

Anyone else been having very slow speeds on Verizon lately? It's been slowing down for a few months now. I used to get 20 - 30mbps download and lately it's been averaging around 5mbps. I've already tried "resetting" the phone & even switching roms. I'm wondering if it's network congestion or if they're finally throttling me(since I have unlimited data still).
I am also unlimited...just ran a speed test and hit 40.6mbps. Usually I'm around 25-30 though.

Here in Philly LTE speeds have been horrible, as low as .5mbps for me. And that was tested a couple of weeks ago. Data is essentially useless, so I just bumped down to a 250 meg package. I try use wifi everywhere I go, or try not to use data. Gettin' real bad.
Data speeds entirely depend where you live and who else is using the bandwidth. If you live in a crowded city you might not get great speeds during peek time. If you live in a rural area if you even have LTE there like me the speed is basically consistent I get about 20-30mbps at best. However like mentioned before I just try to use wifi all the time because I am limited to my 2gb and wifi is usually avaliable to me.

It's never even kinda-snappy here in Philly. Plain slow, all the time.
I've just generally not been getting good speeds anywhere. I get about 16/4 (D/U) in the best area of my house (my room) but the living room is like 8/1.8... I mainly use it for uploading. (TWC ISP gets me about 15/1mbps) My friends house in the town over I barely get 3G. However closer to the lake (erie) I can get 20-30.
Fastest I've ever got was 36/32 in Detroit.
Also I should mention that I've never seen speeds get better since I switched from AT&T to Verizon...

Forgot to mention my house is on a lake if that has anything to do with signal and speed.
