Verizon 4G LTE speeds in Colorado Springs, Colorado

Hey all. Looks like those of us in the 80906 area have 4G. Just got home to run a few tests. The first two are testing the server in Denver and the others are the closest one in the Springs.

I feel as though this is just a test and bandwidth is capped. At the end of the tests there is a huge spike.
Here's another test
Those images uploaded instantly

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.
The test average 12mbs down and 7-8 up.
*EDIT*
Speed seems to be fluctuating now.
Think the last one was a fluke lolz

I'm impressed by the gain over 3G here, however I should be faster come July 21 when the official release was supposed to happen. Nonetheless I am excited

Same here. It's going to be awesome. I just hope it reaches Oak Ridge. If not I hope they eventually expand it to reach there.
I think the fluctuation in my speeds are due to poor reception. Only getting 1-2 bars. Usually have all bars...

Tested just now, I'm getting 3052kbps down and 2594kbps up. I'm at Fillmore and Cascade just a bit north of downtown.

I had it this morning but lost it
I had LTE at my house in Colorado Springs but I lost it this afternoon. Must be doing some testing since we still have a couple days left. Anyone lose or gain 4G in the Springs?? I'm in Banning Lewis Ranch which is right next to Falcon which shows that they're covering more than just down town! Sweet!

Zoom, Zoom, Zoom.
4G seems to be working in way more places that 3g never worked in. This is at my work in a block/brick building in the 80910.

i got 4g to work at the academy/woodmen area today. hopefully 4G will cover the Air Force Academy as well.

Nice. I'm in Aurora and let's just say 4G is blazing fast !
Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk

Drving around town all day today. 4g is very spotty on powers rd near the base. Signal bars here is good. Here's to hoping they'll fix this soon. I'm already plagued by horrible signal ON the base. In their press release in March they said Peterson would be covered. Oh well.

Thats slow my 3g on my thunderbolt is faster

Who are you talking to?

My thunderbolt has a full bars of 4g on minute then 3g the next. I never get more then 5mbps down and maybe 1.5 down. I have done speed test all over town with the same lame results. Does anyone know if it will get faster I've seen 4g on this phone get past 20mbps I hope it gets faster in the springs.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk

Yup, I'm in the same boat you're in. My house is fully blanketed in 4g, but it switches back and forth constantly. I have the Droid charge. Fastest download was 10Mb but average is around 3-5.

ouch op, that is 3g speeds.

I'm glad its not just me. I even switched back to stock to see if that was the prob, it didn't help.

Has anybody seen better 4G speeds in Colorado springs yet I'm still running .5-3.5 mbps down and about 1mbps up with a ping of 500 ms. This is pretty lame I've checked all over town and I get about the same. I called Verizon and the were no help the standard restart your phone make sure your 4G is on , then they were gonna call me back in 48 its been 2 weeks.

Did some more testing in NYC yesterday, market is still as strong as ever:

Speeds are blazing up here in the denver metro area

HSPA+ data speeds. WTF T-Mobile USA

I'm just going to post a bunch of screen shots of my data tests. All were outside in central Philadelphia from yesterday around the same time. There is just a ton of fluctuation in the speed and ping/lag times. Any ideas on what's causing the flux?
I'm running The CM7 nightly from 1/1/2013 with Mazout's Faux revival kernel.

To many variants on this, how far from the tower, how much interference there is, how many are using the network.
Also on your last pic you are on the edge aka 2G network not HSPA+

Looks like to me you were probably on the edge of HSPA+ network.

That always happen to me when i Travel to Different Cities.
At home i usually get 5 mb/s and in different city i get 40kb/s
and i did make sure i was on HSPA+ and my signal bar was full.

Exactly, I travel all up and down Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina and Washington D.C. for work and I think the Max I've ever gotten was 7mb per second.

I've always had this problem with Wind. Nothing that you could do about it.
I'm already lucky enough to have "unlimited" data included in my plan, so I'm not going to complain.

lol wtf r u guys on? i get even 8/s ussually

well the fact that they were all taken within 100m of each other and outside and in Philadelphia, like I said, means most of the reasons don't make sense.
I did take a few with Edge, which were a lot slower, but often had less ping time. Thanks for the feedback. I find it hard to believe that the traffic flux within 3 minutes would cause a 500ms swing in lag times so I'm kind of thinking that it's really an issue with the hardware/ROM that gives me such fits.

I have the same problem around Salt Lake City, UT. My phone will show 4g service, with full bars, and yet my connection will constantly stall out or not work. Some days it works fine other days it's worthless, even though it says 4g. F'ing tmobile.

Are you usually located in NY NY like speed test says? Because when I was in NY near queens, I only got hspa+ speeds to. When ever I came back home (Texas) I'm on 4g networks now. And I'm on latest cyanogen mods stable for g2x
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app

Its the G2x, not T-Mobile. When I had my G2x I would get max 7 down, higher ping, and same upload. But honestly, you don't really need much more on the G2x.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

Accessing the network in Philly will lead to a lot of fluctuation, especially at 1:30 in the afternoon. A lot of people in the city use T-Mobile and peak hours suck here.
Also included in the issue is that while network is a major player, the speed at which the phone processes stuff hurts the speed. If your phone lagged up at any point during the test, you'll notice a huge fluctuation.

Worst 4G speeds in the USA?

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?

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.

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

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.

Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk

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....
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using XDA Free mobile app

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.

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.

Man, look at some of these speeds I get when getting a good signal on mobile data.

Damn, that has got to suck being that slow!! I have Internet in my house that usually always gets over 120Mbps mainly because my server needs really high speeds to keep up with the demand..

I would of left sprint along time Ago if i didn't have internet at home.

Where it is actually at T-Mobile is very fast as well. But similar to sprint you could go a few blocks away and be roaming. Or at least wishing you were.

So I guess the conclusion is: Sprint surprises some, disappoints most.

I ****ing hate when my phone shows me good LTE service yet it STILL doesn't load anything..... I mean the service is WORLDS better than it was when I signed up in 2006 but it really pisses me off sometimes.

You know we are all on sprint because the unlimited data plans are the cheapest in town.
I travel fulltime and I can say its nice when you are in NYC and can pull 80mb down. Not so nice when you are driving across South Dakota or New Mexico and all you have is roaming.
Overall the best coverage I've seen across the contiguous USA is on the GSM network (ATT) and the best data bandwidth has been LTE over CDMA with Verizon having the most consistent coverage.
The technology is changing faster than anyone can keep up with it though. If your bandwidth sucks now just wait a year. It might not be the fastest but it should get better.

Luckily I am on Long Island so I get pretty decent coverage most places but sometimes it is spotty. Like someone else said, standing over here it is great but go across the street and it is non-existent. Sprint really shot itself in the foot when it went Wimax instead of LTE. They backed the wrong horse and they are only just starting to get back on track. For what I pay, and the coverage and speeds I usually get around here, I have lived with it. However, those times when it doesn't work even on Long Island, REALLY pisses me off. When I'm up on a trip in Vermont somewhere forget it. Everyone else has data coverage (at least functional) and I got nothing but that is the price I pay. I usually just turn off the cell radio as it drains the **** out of my battery.

Here's another one

what speed are you seeing on Tmo network..issues?

Ok so got the S8+ yesterday and one issue that crops up is my speed on tmo network It's terrible. Far slower than my old phone. I was getting yesterday about a hundred k down. Working with techsupport found if I turned LTE off I was getting better speeds
This morning some was some what better saw some 10meg burst. Let's still not the blazing speed advertised and slower than my old phone ... Now in Las Vegas So should be on the new network
Tmo tech support has been good helpful and cleared several issues. First they saw red flag in system that my phone is not LTE capable. They fixed that ...Today they found the IMEI Number was still showing up as my old phone.

I see a spike for 30+MBPS and then it trickles down into the single digits.. Also having dropped calls and missed text messages. Going to chat with Tmobile now.
Edit:
Funky stuff going on here, Tmobile reset my sim card and now I tried two different speed tests; Traditional Speedtest.net registers 70MBPS and is hosted by tmobile server. When I run fast.com I get 2.7mbps...

No issues here.

Ive roll back to.my note 4 and now on it ..it is now the same 20,30k down speed crap!!!
...ive drove in a radius of at least 20 miles from No Las Vegas to the strip by T-Mobile Arena. And tested...its the same slow speed..
I'm not just using a speed tester I'm trying to download apps and they're crawling 5 10 15 minutes to download a simple small app
T-Mobile's now keeps trying to tell me all they're doing a network upgrade in the area for the next few months and that's the reason for this...BS!... this is totally unacceptable and unusable
Is there anyone in the greater Las Vegas area on the T-Mobile network that can do some speed test to see if they're seeing the same ridiculously low virtually out of service speeds
If this is due to a network upgrade then they're the most incompetent Engineers I've ever seen.... I work in telcom!... You would never ever ever break a production Network region-wide like this and take it out of service for days...
I work too many 24/7 365 noc spent too many hours working from 1 a.m. to 5 am on a Sunday morning during the maintenance window when you can afford to impact a production Network for a few hours to do upgrades and maintenance

Houston,TX here.
So far the best speeds I've had on any phone.
