I ran a bandwidth test using tethering and speedtest.net told me I was located in Indiana but I'm in Pennsylvania!
The bandwidth test was horrible when speedtest.net auto chose closest server(which was chicago) but when I choose State College, Pennsylvania it was fine.
On my droid x, everytime I ran the test it said I was located in Ohio close to Pennsylvania, last time was maybe a month ago.
Why would it be that far off on the Thunderbolt?
These test were all on 3g btw

I'm curious about this too. I'm in south florida and it keeps picking a server in Kentucky. The only way that i've found to get a server in Florida is to run a speed test on wifi and then switch to 4g after it has picked up a server that is actually nearby.

Do you guys remember the server that was used on your old phones
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
Make sure your GPS is on and you have a solid fix. You should be able to change to any server you want.
When I was on sprint, and running CM7, if I went into the browser while I was on 4G, and went to speedtest.net, it would show me as being in the united kingdom.
I'm not sure if this makes any difference but, I ran Speednet test on both of my phones:
Thunderbolt..... Not rooted yet.....lol
Incredible.......... rooted.
I'm right outside Philly...
On the Thunderbolt I could pick Philadelphia, New York, etc. The results were great.....
On the Incredible...... It's always given me Kansas and the results were crap.
Anyone experience this?

Just Rooted my Thunderbolt and now Philadelphia Server is a 150miles away; So there's a difference after you root your phone.
In Pittsburgh pa and got state college pa which is the closest of all servers. I am rooted.

Again people, make sure your GPS is on and you have GPS fix before you run the test. Also allow standalone GPS in your Location settings. It's common sense.

I'm averaging about 6 mbps down and 4 mbps up. Speedtest is using the Aurora server.
Is this considered "slow" for 4G?
I am working up in Deerfield today, DL of 13.07 and upload of 7.6 mbs. I live in south suburbs and average between 8 & 12 up, and 6-8 down.
I'm in the far north suburbs and I average 22 down and close to 6 up

WTF? 22 down is nuts. I need to move up there. I'm in Wheaton.
my speed varies alot depending on where I am at. I have seen my up speed as high as 40(yes that was an upload speed) and down 25. But I tend to average around 5 down and 2-3 up
I used to get around 15-22 down and 5-10 up every time. Now I average about 5-6 down and 3-4 up. :/ I'm in mchenry area. I miss those super fast speeds.
Thunderbolt Rooted!
Schaumburg.
Used to be 20/12. Now I'm @ 5/4. Went to the VZW store and ran speedtest side by side with their demo. Demo unit was pulling 3 to 4x the speeds that my phone was just inches away.

I tried the Chicago server as well and got 9 mbps down and about 6 mbps up.
I'm visiting my girlfriend in the city this weekend. I'm curious what my speeds will be like there.
When I ran my test, both phones were attached to Aurora's test server (because I know someone's going to ask) and I ran the test about 15 times to make sure.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
I have my suspicions about the speedtest app, even after the recent fix. Those getting slower speeds, open a browser with UserAgent switching, switch to desktop UA, and go to the speedtest.net website. I always get much higher results that way, which seem to be consistent with the results I get when tethered to a laptop. I'm usually pulling between 10-20 down, 1-4 up on the Northside. It's a very welcome upgrade from WiMax.
btw those thinking they got 40 Mbps upstream a while back, that was the speedtest app giving bogus results. Many of us thought we got those speeds, but nobody really did. The developer of the app was the first to say so.
The chicago server tests much faster than the aurora server.
IM only getting 1x on my tbolt again....im in Sacramento ...anyone else experiencing any difficulties
Im either getting 1x or nada.

LTE works fine for me. I always force LTE only though.
Same here, san francisco, 1x or nothing. Tried going into cdma+evdo/lte, cdma (prl auto), nothing but 1x. Actually had to use wifi for once.
Is there a place/website we can go to check verizon's 4g status?

Now I"m on 1x if im on cdma auto lte, or lte mode only.

Anyone having DL speed issues in NYC today? Speeds were awesome this morning, 20mb dl and 6mb up. Now I can't get over 1 mb in dl but uploads are still good. I'm running the 402 radio and a co-worker is running stock and his speeds are effected as well.
If so, this would be my first LTE semi-outage. I'm new to Verizon and was wondering if these things are frequent.
Same in Boston, upload speeds are fine but can't get over 1Mbps down. I've heard they're supposedly working on the networks right now. I don't use 4G all the time, this is the first I've personally seen speeds be this slow.

Been on the 3G network the last 3 days here in Atlanta. Today 1X only. Called Verizon they are currently experiencing issues in my area. Also said Please allow a couple of days to regain full speeds. I recently updated roms to BAMF 1.8 Remix. Had good 4G for a couple of days befor this so Im pretty sure its not the ROM.

Heavy usage straining the network in your area? I have seen some random speed drops in my area, either my phone is connected to a farther tower or the network is getting hit harder at that moment. Thats what I chalked mine up to at least. Speeds returned to normal after a little while.

Ok, it is now 12:30Am where I live and the speeds have been the same for 6 hours. I know this tower hasn't been crowded for 6 hours straight with people downloading things when it hasn't been crowded in the middle of the day for the past year. Something is wrong and I promise you, it is not due to people downloading on the same tower. You don't just download over 5mb/s every single day for the past year and then 300kb/s the next day. Sorry but it doesn't happen . Especially during off peak hours at 12:30 in the morning.

Impossible no, implausible yes.
While you might not have an outage in your area perhaps they are doing maintenance and cut a few towers down transferring the load around to surrounding towers. This does not signify an outage as you have not lost service.
Anything on your phone calling out for data in the background?
Does the phone still register 4g or has it dropped to 3 / 2g? Have you rebooted the phone? Disabled / re-enabled data connection on the phone? Are you using an application or website to gather your speed data? have you tried both to see if just an application or website is mis reporting?

It is still registering as 4G. My upload speeds are normal but download is not. I have restarted the phone multiple times, I've pulled the SIM, I've switched to WCDMA only and back to auto again.

Personally I'd wait it out. If speeds are not back from a week from now, I would most definitely contact customer loyalty. Tell them youre unhappy with the service, etc and you jut purchased a new phone. maybe you can get out of contract or maybe they can look into your problem to a further extent.

Yea, I just hope it doesn't happen when I go home in the morning where I also get speeds greater than 5 MB/s and my house is about 15 towers away. If it happens, then we know its a problem with the phone. I don't think Customer loyalty can do anything g for me being I am not on contract and they just recently gave me a free Sensation while remaing off contract. They also let me keep my G2X so they have done more than enough. I just want a replacement if there is something wrong with it. Hopefully there's not.

Clearly an issue with authenticating to Verizon 3G eHRPD and 4G LTE network. If you were previously successfully authenticated and the lifetime timer hasn't expired which would otherwises force a reauthentication or you haven't toggled airplane mode then you probably still have data. If you've completely lost data you can at least restore 3G EVDO since it uses a different authentication method that still works by doing ##778#.
It's been 3g, 4g and out completely sense 2pm here in Kettering.
