4G speeds

I was wondering what everyone is getting on 4g speeds. Today I ran it once and got 3.3MB upload and 1.5 mb download.

It's going to vary by area.
My highest download has been 6181kbps and my upload 1599kbps.
I live in the middle of nowhere.
On my iPhone 3GS the highest i ever got was 3000 or so kbps and upload 380kbps. So the hardware is capable, just need the towers to be able to keep up.
I have a friend with the HTC 4G for ATT and he once got 11xxx kbps download.

dont use the peed tset apps. they have been very inconsistant for me latey. i test on speakeasy.com with the browser. i get 5-6mbps down but only 500k or so up. my area has hsdpa+ but not hsupa+ and for some reson it doesnt use the available hsupa when conneded to hsdpa+. i have hsupa enabld on my captivate and get up to 2mbps upload.

Weird. When I'm at home it won't go over 2.0 then I go across town and I got 8.9mbps at my local Walmart ... central valley CA

Sort of off topic but how do you get that little box showing your speedtest.net results in your signature?

My highest was 9.4mbps download and 1.8mbps upload.
I'm located in Portland, OR.

Don't know when other carriers will enter the Austin LTE market,
At&t is really stepping up

Honestly, they're lighting up LTE faster then they said they would.
Probably trying to compete with Verizon, since they have like 15-20 markets a month lighting up.

4G LTE now in Cleveland Ohio .. Wahoooo

Was just outside with my brother enjoying the night air .. when all of a sudden I noticed the LTE symbol show up on my phone .. Cleveland, Ohio .. now has LTE

Do you happen to know anyone from the Tisher last name? Saw you were from N. Olmstead on the weather app.

Congrats..
And uh, AT&T, anytime you want to grace that state sandwiched between NY and MA with LTE, ummm.. we'd be VERY appreciative. Just a suggestion..

Thanks for the widget link. I'm in love with it.

Sooooo Vermont or Connecticut??
Not to rub it in, but crazy fast LTE speeds in the boston metro area. 20-30mbps down average, high score of around 57mbps.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium

Columbus generally turn up shortly after the Cleveland market. I live in the Mentor area, 20 minutes east of Cleveland and it is on here as well. I was speed test on my Vivid, Lumia and Skyrocket and was averaging around 20-30Mbps and maxing at 50 on the Skyrocket.

On a side note, has anyone experienced terrible battery life with that widget?

Not at all .. I'm running the latest SkyICS from Sean (as seen in my signature) .. using the Nova Launcher Prime and the widget .. Regular usage for daily business, I'm getting anywhere from 16 to 28 hours (28 on a light day).
Overall .. excellent.

CT. If Vermont (or New Hampshire) gets it first we riot (maybe.)
I got to experience LTE speeds when I was in NY and ATL recently and I averaged over 30mbps. I'm sure this is to do with the networks not being taxed so much. I can't wait for the new iPhone to be released which will slow down those LTE speeds due to excessive bandwidth use, much like they did to their 3G network. Knowing my luck we will get the iPhone 5 before we get LTE here.

Strange, when I used that widget with the weather I had some crazy battery drain because it wanted to poll every minute, which was the latest option.

Youre now just getting it? I'm in Akron/Canton/Stow area and we've had it for 2 months now.. Strange.
It kind of makes sense as to why yesterday, in the basement of Great Lakes Brewery (Holy Moses is my new favorite beer, btw and they have GREAT food), i was getting 28/19. I then went to the RHCP concert. It was a great day. Ohh yeah, i had a connoli from the west side market too. It was awesome. and free icecream. It was wonderful. haha

What kind of network speeds are you getting?

Im seeing posts everywhere about problems with 4g, weak signals, etc. Im just curious to see what other people are getting for speed tests. I tried searching with no result so i dont know if this has been covered already.
I know theres alot to account for signal, how busy the network is, etc. But i just wanted a idea if im getting regular speeds.

Get around the same as you two, would take a shot but I literally live a block away from where it stops. How about on 3G too? I get terrible speeds compared to my last phones, under a MB for each. .97 d/l and .40 u/l.
People keep telling me those are "normal", sure maybe for them but not for me where I live.

Havent seen 3g in about 3 days but next time i do ill do a test.

Not going to post my current speed test, because I'm away for the weekend in the middle of no where and the closest server has massive lag... it showed me as having about a .03 mbps download last night. I know it's better than that.
My 3G speeds in the real world though have been pretty standard compared to my previous phones, however. If I remember when I get home Monday I might post a screen.

I read somewhere to remove the SIM card and battery and reinsert them. I did that and instantly noticed a difference. I'm still getting a weaker signal then I did with my rezound though. However, if there is a strong signal, the speeds are the same if not better.

Is moving to get a better download speed an acceptable reason to relocate?

Awesome speed!

Where on the Jersey side of the river are these speeds, I am on the water myself and only get 20-25 down

My rezound used to get max bars along with speed ..usually avg 18mbps but now in same location I get 3 bars and I can barely get 5-6 Mbps and the ping is 120ms+ consistently. Not sure what the problem is..

+1 other than getting faster speeds when I can actually achieve full bars.

No where close in MASS. Whatever, I have 4G anyway.

I live roughly 60 miles north of Syracuse, who appears to be getting 4G tomorrow. Anyone know if I'll be able to benefit, up here in Watertown?

I think they are expanding in Syracuse, not rolling it out. I am pretty sure they already have 4G. I am about 70 miles south of Syracuse and I am not expecting anything different by us. I am pretty sure that 4G has much shorter range so changes further away don't really impact surrounding areas.

I was always under the impression that the nearest tower was in Utica, which was why we got 4G service in Syracuse. I could be totally wrong, though.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

Weird that they have that map there but it doesn't actually show all the current 4G. There is a lot more than they're showing on there.
And of course it is just a screen shot... of an interactive map.

Well according to the article in the OP, Syracuse is listed under the category of "expand the existing 4G LTE"...take that for what it is worth I guess.

I don't see what the fuss is about unless your on a grandfathered unlimited plan since with the new shared plans, Verizon lets you surf the web and check your email, anything else will drain your mbs for each month. Its totally bassakwards, they put up more towers rolling out 4GLTE, but with their new limitations, 4G speed is kind of irrelivent if you hardly get the chance to use it IMO.

Regardless of how fast you use your GB limit (if you have one), I think most people would prefer faster speeds.

4g in vandalia today woot! I have unlimited data so it's sweet I have uverse Internet so I don't tether but 4g speeds are sweet.

Hour and a half away for me, that is if it is up at 12am. Can't wait.

man 4g sux indoors though... Always drops to 3g in stores and pretty low signal at home that goes back and fourth between 3g and 4g.
Good signal full bars outside and it drops to 3g when u walk into stores noticed this in multiple towns.

I have a year left on my unlimited contract with verizon if they ever switch me to a limited data plan ill leave. do they care maybe not but i am not gonna watch a youtube video then run to see where my data limit is on a damn widget for $29.99 a month data. its insane to me that people are willing to do this.
i dont use alot of data maybe 4gb a month my moms line uses about 2gb were both unlimited but its the idea that we would have to worry about how much data were using when i pay more for my phones internet then i do on my homes internet i shouldn't have to think about it. its my account with 3 lines i pay for my moms line fyi.
sorry i went off topic ;P

My city is on the list. I woke up to my phone showing 4g for the first time ever. Weird.

Fir business, I use at least 50gb a month.
