You heard it here first!!!
I restarted my phone, and what do you know...! LTE came alive in San Diego, NY, Phoenix, and now Los Angeles! WTG AT&T!
First test,
10-11mbps down, 1.5-2.5mbps up. 1-2 bars, Gardena, California. 75-96 ping.
I could only get speedtest app to connect to servers in Kansas. So I wifi tethered my device to my computer, and I'm getting better pings, but roughly same performance testing to the nearest physical servers.
Yesterday, I was getting HSPA+ at 1mbps down at the very same location.
sweet..AT&T will throttle you in no time..like the rest of us LTE users.
I plan on using only 2GB a month at most for business use, web surfing, and maybe an occasional youtube. I don't think I'll get throttled.
LTE is live in San Pedro. Fast but like Chicago not impressive really. I'll give att the benefit of the doubt until they can somehow get more spectrum (or utilize new qualcomm spectrum).
LTE is live in Redondo Beach. 30down/9up so far.

Whoa, I'm glad I just saw this thread. I've been on Wifi since I'm at home and work all day.
Getting LTE here in Palms (Culver City), too. But speeds are only about 8mbps down (vs. 2-3mbps on HSPA+). I think each area in LA is different. In a diff part of LA, i had about 6mbps on HSPA+. Will have to try it out more later.
Although download speeds sound low, latency seems non-existent. Did a quick search on google maps and loaded espn's full desktop site, and everything immediately loaded.

Yeah, that's what I LOVE about LTE. HSPA+ might at times report <100ms ping, but it sure doesn't feel like it. LTE reports ping around 75, but it feels as fast as my home internet with 20ms ping.
Guys, unless AT&T can snag more spectrum, don't expect to see anything above 15 down, because they probably have 10MHz of spectrum on the west coast, which is BARELY enough for LTE. That qualcomm spectrum should help out though.....

Same here! I hit 19Mbps down here in west LA for the first time today (usually around 8). Not sure if it's b/c it's the first time I tested w/ 3 bars, or AT&T is ratcheting up the speed.

Somehow, hearing the next that Galaxy Nexus won't be released tomorrow made me appreciate my Skyrocket a little bit more. I hope Verizon keeps releasing good news like this often.

Otherwise I'm getting +1900k upload speeds and those were all during 5pm rush hour.
I've heard rumors of testing 42mbps around here. With download/upload like this around rush hour I've got to think something special is going on.

i must be doing it wrong cause i get barely 4.5mbs down where im at and it says i get excellent 4g coverage according to TMO's map. Anybody from Houston getting similar speeds, specifically the northwest side of town (Tomball)? also, do you guys get 4g coverage consistently without the radio swapping to slower towers frequently?
hmmm...i tested the display one at a tmobile store against my vibrant and the gs4g only got around 2500kbps download speed max. My vibrant did a little better than that. like 2600 to 2800. I guess i shouldn't jump on the 4G train just yet. I'm located in miami btw. Plus i think the store is near a deadzone to top it off...ill check out another location. But 10000kbps is awesome! Thats what i'd expect from the GS4G.

Same issue for me. I'm getting 400-600kbps in the same spot I tested my Vibrant last week and was getting 2.5-3Mbs. I've called Tech support and they have no answers.
I went to the damn store I bought it at and I was getting the same speed right out their door. The most I've seen with this phone has been 6Mbps and that was downtown Orlando. If this keeps up I'm dumping the phone before my 14 day period.

You probably mean 5.2 down and 1.3 up.
I'm in the Tampa, FL area. I'm getting 5+ down and 1-2 up pretty regularly in my area. I'm happy...it's beats the crap out of my old T-Mobile BS. More importantly, the coverage is WAY better.
Yes where do you all live? Where can I get these speeds?
Does anyone know if the icon in the task bar actually reflects what type of tower you are connected to? i.e. will it say "3G" if you are connected to a non-"enhanced backhaul" tower? Mine always shows the "H+" icon, and my speeds have ranged from 1.5Mbps to 8Mbps.
Well it shouldn't. Hspa+ should be available everywhere hspa was, and that's att's entire 3g network. So anywhere you got 3g you should get hspa+. That doesn't mean the tower can supply data speeds in the range of hspa+ 7mbit to 21mbit. The speed to the tower is being called "backhaul"
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA App
That's what I was asking - if the H+ indicated the tower was upgraded or if it just shows H+ always. I had hoped for the former but expected the latter.
the h+ is only the cell technology used between the phone and the tower, and all 3g towers are upgraded to use hspa+, but this doesnt indicate the towers connection to the network, so even if the tower can only supply 0.0000001mbit, itll still say h+. the only way to know what you can get from your area is to look at your actual speeds.
Just hit 11.47 down and 1.64 up out here in NYC. Pretty good if you ask me.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA Premium App
Thanks, that answers my question. I was just hoping for an easy way to know which areas were upgraded, since I assume that even with an upgraded tower it's possible to see speeds below 7Mbps and therefore it wouldn't be cut and dried. I've only seen 7+ speeds in one spot so far (at work), I see more in the 2 to 4Mbps range so I guess a lot of my area is not upgraded.
I am very envious. We are supposed to be getting it in the next month. Of course by then we won't have the free tethering anymore.

if you look at the graph, it did blip over 14mbit before ending at 13.5
Nothing here in King of Prussia, PA (Philly suburb) to even match those speeds
Getting an abysmal 1300 kbps in download and a miserly 760 kbps in upload.

Here's another test

I think they are testing LTE in Knoxville, TN tonight because we aren't supposed to have it for a few more days.
Best test I got was 14.06mbs download and 9.15mbs upload.

Yeah, you were receiving the remnants of the signal from the Grantville area down the hill a bit...but there is a 4G tower in La Mesa that is on and off at the moment too...they are beta testing it right now (according to a Sprint RF Engineer).
Here, check out this speed! Posted today at 9:50 PM...
So far speeds seem very consistent...
Of course, thats 4 bars as compared to one on my first post...wonder what full signal strength would run...

Well, 3G and phone service is choppy all over the city right now as they rollout Sprint Vision (LTE).
If you experience any interruption in service, call Sprint and when you get an agent ask to talk to a supervisor. If you are insistent they will provide a credit to your account for each day that your service is down or messed up. This tactic is especially useful when they have a tower undergoing a service outage due to equipment repair. Pay attention, San Diego has many ZIP codes; they like to try and say this only applies to the ZIP where your billing address is located. Not true. I tell them San Diego is my home, and that I pay for Sprint service and utilize my phone for business purposes here...If you are travelling through the city and notice messed up calls or data, take notice of the ZIP you are in and call them and get your discount, it,s usually good for the amount of days the tower is out. I regularly squeeze $15 to $20 off my bill every month!

Got a 4G signal downtown around 7th and B. Signal was strong but speedtests were slow at about 2 Mbps up and down. I was at a mtg around Scripps Poway Parkway just off of I-15 and got an LTE signal with superfast speeds at 25.73 Mbps down and 5.17 up.
I'm still switching to VZW though. I'm done with Sprint and their terrible business decisions.
Which region has the very worst Verizon 4g network speeds?? I'm betting it's right here in Western New York. Can anyone top this?

Pulling 5.83 down here. But with full signal, so pretty close.

I used to often get 0.5-0.6 at peak hours when I worked in the mall (Aurora, IL), but it is a mall so there's that.

I've had sub 2Mb before, but that was on my GNex. I'm in NE Ohio. On my M8 I've seen speeds up in the 30-40's, and speeds down to ~5-6 Mb. I haven't really paid attention to see if it's related to what area I'm in, or the time of day, or what. But it can fluctuate a lot, obviously.
Past several days I've had around .2-.6 down at home. Elsewhere its 45-55 down though. I'm in south Dayton, OH.
Just an educated thought here.. but if they enabled ~700mhz AWS bands at all in the area you live in... it could be interference caused by local cable tv signals. If the cable signals in your area are in any way shape or form leaking.. it will cause problems. These frequencies now overlap.

Before AWS NYC and metro NJ...especially Newark NJ were under 1 meg down during peak hours
Now it's ridiculously fast.
Although I have noticed a slight improve since XLTE being released,
upstate NY here
just ran test
8.59mb down
10.45mb up
I have gotten fast speeds at the UB south campus. 29 down, 10 up. That was with 4 bars showing. Everywhere else, its still slow.

I've seen 29 down/10 up in Kenmore/Tonawanda on my One M8.

Wow. Looks like I'll feel like I'm back with Sprint when I go to new York this August for vacation. Some places here in California I pull over 100 down. But usually never less than 20 in worse areas. I think the east coast is just too crowded with buildings to get a good signal. The heavily populated areas don't help either

Has anyone actually found a way to determine the current band we're connected to without guessing by the speeds?

Got a 1.61 up and a 1.52 down yesterday. I am almost always on WiFi, I turned off WiFi just to run the test and I was shocked as you might guess!
I'm in Phoenix, Arizona.
Charging a monthly fee for a feature we can't really use. Interesting business model.

I just measured a half a megabit. Verizon sucks donkey schlong with there saturated network. I am in shelby mi. I tested 3g and its way faster

Ever since they turned on 4G in my area, Blackstone, Virginia, the network has sucked. I use to have full 3G everywhere and now it is spotty 3G and rarely 4G mostly 1x in the house . Yet they seem to show no network issues in my area,even though everyone complains.
In my area (Santa Clara) I usually get 2.5mbps.
Buuuuut I'll take that over sprints .02mbps I used to get here....

They must be doing major network work. Last few days at work near Long Beach, CA I'm lucky to get 2-3 bars 3G, sometimes 1 bar 4G. I use to get 2-4 bars 4G all over work since day one this phone came out. Last 5 days have been craps service! Checked online and many confirm this so not just me. People say they call customer service to only get the run around so who the hell knows what's really going on?
I swear, leaving AT&T for Verizon so I could get this device was the biggest mistake. Never had AT&T issues with network and Verizon acts like their the best in the country! Best at wasting money on T.V. ads instead of investing it in their network I guess. Damn false hope switching to Verizon.

What carrier?
I'm in Phoenix, Arizona and I get 35.59 down and 14.34 up (102ms) in 85302 and 20.95 down and 11.50 up (59ms) in 85301. Weird how down south I'm getting slower speeds but better latency...
I'll have to test other parts of the Metro Area...I'm going to be around Sun City next week so we'll see what speeds the oldies are getting

Verizon, of course.
Just got .74 mbps down and .21 mbps up, that's on 3g.
Rebooted, got .21 mbps down and .25 mbps up.
When I rebooted it did show LTE for a second or two before dropping back to 3g.
I'm not complaining, I get NO SIGNAL at all in my house with T-Mobile!
No wonder I'm always on WiFi! <G>
Got it to show LTE! 2.02 down, 1.01 up.
Pathetic.
