Weird LTE signal - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

I live in Connecticut and we dont have LTE yet. I notice that whenever I get a low signal, mostly one bar, I see the LTE icon. Im getting 15-30Mb download when I do speed test. Now when I get a full bar signal my speed goes down between 3-5.

sounds like they are testing LTE in your area and havent actually 'released' it yet

If you run the Sensorly app, does it show you as having LTE?

Verizon needs to fix network.

In my area which is Youngstown Ohio the 3g has always been slow. Now it is going in and out. Everytime I call support they say there is a known problem and is being worked on. This has been going on since February. Anyone else having problems. I am not in a 4g area.

Ok one wuestion though, i installed cm7 and under mobile network settings theres a few more things like international data roaming, national data roaming, and system select, should i check any of them, or change the select system to automatic, affiliated networks, or just leave it at home??

Art throttled HSPA speeds

Just got my skyrocket and was throttled 3 says after purchase at 2 gigs. Did the apn trick and I'm now seeing speeds as high as 11megs down. Is this hspa or lte?

What does your icon on status bar say?? And most likely it will be hspa+.

How fast is your connection? Just got 50Mbps in Dallas

New modem (UCLA3) looks like performing astonishingly good. Never was able to get even close to this speeds.
Where were you? I've never gotten that high unless in certain areas.

Wow, you guys are getting some awesome speeds. I have only managed to get 19mb down when I visited New Orleans a week or two ago on lte. 4g I get around 7 or 8 down
The fastest I got was 44Mbps down in Vegas. Otherwise in LA, I usually get around 15Mbps.
It's in the sig.
Whenever I try to run a speedtest it says I get network communication Errors

Was just getting ready to reply to the OP. I can confirm 62mbps down in good ole houston tx. Pretty badass.
Simlar speeds in Baltimore
LTE speeds around Baltimore, MD have been pretty similar since I got the skyrocket back in November. Tests over the past few months have been in between 50-60Mbps down, 12-15Mbps up. I'd post a picture but it's telling I can't until I post 8 times since I'm a new member. I get better LTE reception around the edges of the city and it drops to HSPA+ sometimes in the center of the city.
44 down. 23 up just outside of Boston.
