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...
Inc -> rezzy -> DNA
Forgot to mention my house is on a lake if that has anything to do with signal and speed.

Maybe yall phone just doesn't work properly.
In Jersey City and Newark, NJ the speeds are god awful (less than .5mbps consistently). I tried calling Verizon about it, but they really didn't care.

I get great 3G service 1.5mbs consistently... but that's only because there's a sprint tower on top of the building where I work, Chandler AZ. Typically I get around 700kbs though, which is bearable but not amazing
Yeah I'm a little outside Birmingham Al and 3g speeds are amazing on the EVO 3D compared to what I use to get and 4g which I pick up in my apartment somehow is just incredible feels like my WiFi. When we get root I should be able to make it faster too.
I get great 3g and great 4g the signal is also much more stable than my og evo was. I tested it out with ps3 on 3g tethered and I played uncharted 2 online multiplayer without lag not even a studder I was simply amazed. I wouldn't use it as my default internet connection due to the fact that I have 50mbps fiber optics. But if there is an outage for some reason at least I know I won't be sol as far as gaming goes.

My 4g signal is worse then the nexus I replaced. I am going to try to get it exchanged with amazon but first I am calling sprint to find out what the deal is. The damn thing keeps on telling me to scan for service, I had one bar with nexus but it was damn consistent and never dropped connection this phone drops in the house like there is no tomorrow, and that is in the same location in my room.
There is no excuse that it shouldnt get good signal, if sprint cant figure out at their end, I will be trying to get it exchanged through amazon.
Guys this is just for the good ones. Sorry for the confusion. But I just wanted a positive thread as well. To let people know there are plenty of happy owners out there too.

I can say I get great 3g speeds sometimes at night around 2.5Mbps but many times, especially during the day I would average only 0.6Mbps to as low as 0.15Mbps?
I cant even get one meg.
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

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.

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.

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.

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.

My speeds are pretty much not even LTE. In fact I was getting just as good speeds with my non-LTE Atrix 4g. From my bedroom I get about 1mbps and the upload...well if it registers at all I get 300kbps. Admittedly I get terrible terrible reception here even on my old phone. At my grandmas house where I get 3-4 bars I got up to 8mbps per second on one or two tests but often it was around 3mbps. The upload there never got above 600-700kbps. I live in Orange County, CA so maybe there are so many users that that's just as fast as we get...or maybe it's this phone. I dunno yet. Gonna try it at work(Disneyland) tomorrow and see how it works.
I attached a txt file with my tests...on most of them it says HSDPA, dunno what that even means.
Sounds like you do not have LTE in your area yet. The signal icon on your status bar will say 4G LTE if you have it.

But we do have LTE, it says on the coverage tracker that we do and my dad has the HTC One X and he gets LTE. Now that you mention it though it says 4G at the bar at the top of the screen and not LTE. Is it supposed to say LTE?
Yes it does say it right under the 4G. Go back and look at some of the screen shots. If you are both on At&t you should go to the store because you should have it also.

I don't know the AT&T network but on Rogers, Bell & Telus in Canada you need to specify an LTE APN. The HSPA/+ APN you have configured by default with your SIM probably won't support or recognize LTE service speeds, and even my 'LTE network' microSIM didn't import this automatically, I had to manually input the APN.

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.

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.

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!
