Hey guys i'm using the HTC Thunderbolt and i'm have an issue. The first week I had it I was getting speeds from 20mbps all the way to 32mbps down...now im barely getting 5 up and 3 down. Any advice?

same here, im gettin 11 up and 5 down.
los angeles, ca.
As more 4g devices are sold our connection will get slower and slower you can't really expect 20mb down can you? I mean Sprint network only gets 3 down on 4g ours won't get that slow but just a comparison.

5 up and 3 down here also, it has slowed way down for me!!!
Had that problem the other day. I was getting mid/low 2s. 5 isn't that bad. It's advertised speeds are 5-12.
EDIT: Just checking my speeds now, getting low 2s again.
that should be around what it should be once lte gets more and more used right?
I'm getting 10 down and up. What ROMs and radios are you guys using?

I'm getting no issues on mine. Speeds are still the way they were. ~25down ~6-7up (in mbps)
of course that could change as more people jump in to the lte bandwagon.
In Cincinnati I was pulling 30ish down the first week, and now I am seeing consistant 11 everywhere, and in some places 15-20. Depends on where I am. Same signal strengh where I am at home and at work, but at work I do sit around 20 down, and at home 11ish.
Pretty happy with LTE over all, compaired to the WiMax I had that I couldn't even get in my house. lol.
23.09 Mbps down and 15.75 Mbps down here, it stays about the same all day, give or take 5 Mbps.
thats on CM7 though, im sure on stock it would be higher.
It's been the same for me and better too. At work my speed has been consistently ~17-20Mbps. The difference in the last week has been at my house, where I've gone from ~5-9Mpbps to ~15-20Mbps, rivaling my home FIOS connection. WOOT!
As long as VZW continue to expand their 4G network, it should be relatively easy for everyone to break 10Mbps
I haven't seen any noticeable difference here in the Metro-Detroit area. Last speedtest i ran was around 13-15 up and 4-5 down.
One thing to remember is that the speedtest.net app doesn't give consistent or accurate readings. If you go to speedtest.net from your phone's browser, you'll see much more accurate results.
Just ran a speedtest and got 30 down and 7 up. No difference at all for me. I'm in Baltimore, MD.

I just tested inside Pittsburgh and only got 7 down 3 up. When in the outskirts I was getting 11 5 speeds. Just wanted to show you that being in the city usually makes a difference.

i dont live in philly but ive never tested above high 7's down/up. fastest has been 7.8ish down and the same up. normally it's between 5 and 6. i've been to and thru the city a lot since getting the TB @ launch, including testing with 4 bars on a boat under the Commodore Barry Bridge, elsewhere on the Delaware river, and a few miles up the Schuylkill with no obstructions and the fastest was still mid-7s. Also have done tests in Olde City, near the sports complex, and in centre city. nothing above 8.
across the river in NJ along the 295 corridor i get the same 4G speeds as philly. i've never tested faster than 8mbps down anywhere so far, which includes all of philly, northern DE near Wilmington, and the baltimore-DC corridor and greater DC.
running stock non-rooted with speedtest.net app. via wifi @ home i hit my advertised speeds of 16-20 down
maybe our 4G just sucks...didnt they even do initial LTE testing here? verizon is extremely present and active in phila. since it's basically a home city for them.

Actually I'd say your 4G rocks and is the best management of Verizon's network. They advertise 5-12Mbps down and 2-5Mbps up, and you are in the middle to low end of that guaranteed speed down and easily in the middle to top of the upload. That means Verizon is paying for the right amount of bandwidth to all of their towers in the area that you have been on, without overpaying to have way more than is needed like the people getting 16Mbps all the time. That 16Mbps means they have like 2x more bandwidth than needed, so they are paying the ISP's twice what they really need to and are thus making less money, from a business standpoint your region is the perfectly managed area. If your average speeds drop below 5Mbps be sure to call in and complain though.
Meh this LTE network is finckey. I probably should have specified that im in more of the suburbs in Radnor near Villanova

I am running the new gignerbread rom, and I used to get around 11 mbps, and now I am getting around 3.
Hey ive been getting only 60k down like im tethered... Anyone having similar issues?

Not the same area, but: I was standing outside a T-Mobile store in North Las Vegas and was only getting 3 bars on 2g. haha
Anyhoo. Back on topic. I have gotten really crappy speeds, like you are talking about, when the phone was showing 2-3 bars of 4g.
I have fine reception and speeds here in Bradenton. When I get out east further it will drop 4g and even 3g but the speed always seems consistent with my connection.

Any chance you exceeded your data cap? After you reach your cap they throttle your speeds. The new unlimited everything plan gives you 2gigs of unthrottled data access.

I am in South Florida... supposedly with 4G all over the place (confirmed by on phone and store), but my speeds havent passed 2MB down and 800kb.
Infact there have been times when my down has been 200kb and my up has been 256kb etc....
its ridiculous.... ohh tried bunch of phones and sim cards... same case
Im in south FL specifically palm beach and if you are north of palm beach gardens 4g is spotty at best. go out west and you are lucky to get on edge.
Havent checked my DL speeds but it seems like its better than my N1 at least.
I'm a little north of Orlando and I get about 6MB down and 1MB up at home (close to I-4). Service is a bit inconsistent with this phone. It was more consistent with my G2 (same speeds).
I'm in Tampa and I'm getting 3.5 Mb tops.

It completely depends on where you are. I live in Los Angeles and at home I get speeds that are like yours 300kbps down and up, but I was in Chinatown getting 6000kbps down and 3500kbps up.
I'm in Jacksonville, FL. Average around 8500kbps down and 3000kbps up via Tmobile on the G2X. It goes pathetic as hell once you get throttled though (slightly above 72kbps), 2gb/month just isn't enough.
In Jax, getting 6.2 down and .5 up.
In Miami....
In Miami I have found really great service. I have pretty consistent high speeds mostly where ever I go. Download is normally right around 7 Mbps for me and Upload hovers between 1.5Mbps-2Mbps. Not bad. I hardly notice the difference when web browsing whether I'm on Wifi or cell data connection.
Below is a screenshot of some of my results over the last few days. The last one taken this morning is way off. The tower 2 blocks from my house must have gone down. I typically have full bar reception at home and this morning I have no 4g, only Edge. This has happened before, they will likely have it back up in a matter of hours.
holy shyt! i've been throttled!! i checked online... i cant believe I used it this much... watching southpark at work and downloading music, pandora and stuff. geez tmobile this 5 gb is NOT enough i got another 10 days of this cap! we nee dto find a fix for this, the fix ffor the g2 worked perfectly

Isnt there already a thread for the throttle cap fix? Im still on the old android plan ( as suggested by the Tmobile rep ) and shouldn't have a cap. Hopefully that works out to be true. so far so good

Be happy you're at 5gb, they sign up new people ($79 plan) at a default 2gb.
Last billing cycle I decided to test T-Mobile to see if they will throttle my speed once I reached 5GB. Two days before the billing cycle ended, I passed the 5GB mark and T-Mobile indeed throttled it at exactly 5GB.
When the new billing cycle started I noticed something different.
My constant download speed has always been 2 - 3 Mbps. But when I run I test now my constant download speed is 6 - 7 Mbps.
Somehow the throttling woke up the 4G I guess
Has this happened to anyone else?
(no change on rom, sim card, plan, location, nor way of holding the phone )
Maybe your area has just received the improved 4G network roll out, OKC got that roll out a few weeks ago and I have been seeing 6 or 7Mbps ever since then.
Is anyone going to try this???

Call tmobile and confirm they have your correct IMEI number setup this has been an issue with the G2X and well boost signal strength

My speeds was horrible to begin with I averaged 350kbps on 3g I got throttled lastnight now an getting 45kbps.
And whats crazy is my upload speeds averaged from 800kbps to 1mbps
I'm going to call today

Tmo has two networks they call 4g. One is their 3g network just rebranded and another its legitimately faster. You probably switched networks, there's no indication of when you do so.

when i first got my TB and LTE phones where not everywhere i got 42 mb down and like 10 up. now it is more in the range of 12-18 down and 6 up.
The best I've gotten is 8 down and 8 up, but I'm in a huge market where just about everyone has LTE on their phone.
Arent the radios inside the TBolt designed to get at most 12mbit up down and the speed test app was flawed when the tbolt first came out, causing inaccurate results?
I don't think the radio limits anything but if guys are using the speed test app you won't see much speed cause that app is very inaccurate. I always do regular browser tests like you would on a computer. The results are usually a lot higher and more consistent.

The best I have seen is about 6mbs down. I just ran a test and I got a whopping 2mbs down.
I got 26 dpwn, 8 up in houston, 16 down 5 up in tulsa, 12 down and 4 up in wichita. Its very new to wichita, but still better than the 1.5 down max i got on my dinc

Fort Wayne, IN here! I used to live in Elkhart a few years ago. Best speeds I've gotten is about 10mbps down, although I haven't had my TB for too long to do lots of speed tests.
Best I've ever gotten was 37Mb/s down, can't recall upload. I use http://speakeasy.net/speedtest/ and the location for the best speed varies almost daily.
The best I've ever got was the day after the TBolt was released. I got 25 mbps down and 30 mbps up. Now that more people use LTE the speeds arent as impressive. last test i did i got recently was 11.05 down and 4.83 up. In Rochester NY
I live in a good 4g coverage area, and still sometimes I notice it being really slow. I'll run the speedtest app, and I'll get speeds of 1Mbps or slower. When I power cycle the phone, and re-run the test, it jumps to 9Mbps. And turning airplane mode on and off does not have the same affect.
Is this happening to anyone else? I'm also looking to see if this does happen to others, if they are also having SD card issues, to see if maybe there's a connection.

Having the same problem everywhere on all connections. I have had multiple replacements from VZW but no luck. WiFi is even slow at home which is a 20mbps connection. Should have stuck with my rezound.

Well that's not very reassuring...have you tried any different ROMs or radios?
I only get 10-12 tops. I used to get 40 when i had my TBolt but I guess with a lot more people on the network. It would happen

I'm on AOKP JB Unofficial Buld 1. Best I've got is 25 Mbps Down 17 up. Haven't tried on any other kernel or ROM
I, thankfully, knock on wood, haven't experienced any slow 4G speeds. But oddly my signal bars never jump above 2. Even in areas that are fully 4G supported areas. It occurred in New York City as well which was odd as heck. The download speeds though are like that of someone with better signal strength.
For those who wish to know I am using Cyanogen Mod 10.

My speeds are horrible i downloaded the phone info apk to go back to 3g where it's by far faster. Not sure if it's the phone or the tower being overloaded. Some guys i work with have fast connections where other guys are like me and it crawls, all using different phones. I'm on stock rooted.

Just tested it out again, 17mbit up and 2.87 down...its faster in both up/down than the wifi network i connect to near by.
For those of you having bad 4g speeds, I would suggest trying out different modems. When I was on the release modem, i was getting about 5mb/s, after upgrading to the 'OTA' modem I jumped up to 15mb/s. Not the best speeds, but a definite improvement.
