NOT A USEFUL Q&A JUST FOR FUN.
No 4g were I'm at. Sadly :/
But I want to see what speeds you guys are getting off on 4G.
So that being said. What 4G speeds are guys pulling off? (Prefer pictures of your speed test text is also fine)

Last I checked I was getting 25Mb/s down

in the city of chicago, getting about 12Mbps down and about 8Mbps up consistently, and in the north suburbs in a basement office getting 8Mbps down and 4Mbps up - amazed at how much better than sprint this is in coverage area.

i live in Los angeles, but i almost seem to get slow slow slow download time .. is this correct?
Just on the outskirts of LA I'm getting about 20Mb/s down and about 10Mb/s up.

Trust me, it's WAY better than Sprint's WiMax. I came from an Evo and I know that for sure.
Also just FYI, the overall signal quality in LA isn't as good as in San Diego, but not to the level where you will have problems.
I get about 16 down and 4 up. I live outside of Baltimore and seem to have 4g everywhere I travel. Washington DC coverage seems to be hit or miss though. The speeds of this device are incredible.

I've done speedtests all over L.A. and the slowest I've gotten is here at work in a brick building next to a hill with bad reception for all carriers, and I get about 8/1 here. Everywhere else I get much better speeds, sometimes 20+/10+.
Well I happen to work next to the Airport in Salt Lake City, Utah so I only get 4G coverage at work. I take that back, I think the coverage is there because I work next to one of Verizon's largest call centers. Regardless my speeds are lopsided.
I'm getting about 12.5MB/second Down and 26.5MB/second Up
Most of you guys have BS scores. You cant use speedtests app... even the 2.0 version is crap.
www.speakeasy.net - End of story. Dont post BS download and upload speeds without going there first.
That being said Im getting around 18 down, 3-4 up in the Lehigh Valley PA.
Interesting story from Wired.
Kind of sad how slow the rest are compared to Verizon...

Verizon has 700mhz for the spectrum their LTE network is on. Sprint's WiMax is on 2500mhz, the highest of all for cell phone coverage, thus is absolutely sucks indoors worse than anything else. Sprint's 3G is on 1900 which is also sucky and worse than tmobile's 1700 for 3G which AT&T is looking to buy to put their LTE on. Verizon by far is going to have the best 4g coverage for a multitude of reasons.

The speedtest app has been working correctly for me for awhile now. I just pulled identical speeds using the speedtest app, speedtest.net, and speakeasy.net. The Speakeasy test is also powered by Ookla, the same people who make the speedtest app and the speedtest.net website, they're all the same.

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 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

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

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.

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
4.5mbps down in 4g in okc. While in small town outside of okc on hspa+ I get 8-10mbps down. What a joke ATT. Y'all are really sucking. Going to be looking at Verizon soon.

depending on your time and location; I've beaten my co-workers' iphone 4 and two iphone4s on speedtest.net's app. but you have to factor the load of the network stop putting blame.
two iphone4's on AT&T , one iphone4 on VZW. only the vzw iphone4 was matching closest to speeds like mine.
4g or 4g lte? Big Big difference if its one or the other. I average 3-5 megs down on 4g here in Conway. I've peaked at over 10 megs down a few times though. We haven't gotten lte upgrades on our towers yet but when we do I expect I'll see 20+ megs down at least!
In Philly,
depending on the day, the time, the location, whether I wear my socks, etc...I can get between 1 and 9 mbps down, 1-3 up.
In South Jersey at my folks (who live in the woods), I can get 4-5 down. 3 miles away out on the marsh, I get over 10.
LTE-long term evolution. Suuucks....actually its ATT.

I average 25 mbps down in dallas on ATT LTE. When i drove through OKC i was getting about 15 down. Having used Verizon, i hate their coverage and their service. If you dont get their LTE, their 3g is 1mbps tops. I dont understand why everyone bashes on ATT.
Edit:
And Verizon's LTE is about 12 average on a good day. Peak of 18, low of 5.
how can anyone complain about 4.5 mbps down on their phone ???
goodluck with verizon, if you dont get an LTE signal your download speed is going to be less than 1mbps.

so was I . I would get 1.8mbps at my house (on 3g) on sprint but anywhere else i was that was not 4G i would get 15kpbs to about 600kpbs. It was painful.
On the 4g network (hspa+) i usually get anywhere from 3 to 9 mb/s, but when i hit the 4g lte area in NYC i see speeds anywhere from 20 mb/s on the outskirts of the city to 50+ mb/s in the center of the city, also depends on how much load is on the network. If your on a custom gingerbread rom try using the V6 supercharger 3g booster script with script manager and try playing around with the options, i usually choose the known maxed out values for the best possible speeds

That's sad.
Important thing with Att is reliability. Verizon lte was out several times in a short period of time. And you get they're crap version of 3g as a backup if that. I'm assuming all the cdma iPhone users are clogging it.
AT&T gets hspa+ as a backup if anything happens to lte, although there aren't any reports of outages with it as of yet. Enhanced 3g is more than enough for me, i use my phone to browse the internet, not tether or stream.
