Slow LTE speeds?

Hey guys i'm using the HTC Thunderbolt and i'm have an issue. The first week I had it I was getting speeds from 20mbps all the way to 32mbps down...now im barely getting 5 up and 3 down. Any advice?

same here, im gettin 11 up and 5 down.
los angeles, ca.

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 just tested inside Pittsburgh and only got 7 down 3 up. When in the outskirts I was getting 11 5 speeds. Just wanted to show you that being in the city usually makes a difference.

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

I am running the new gignerbread rom, and I used to get around 11 mbps, and now I am getting around 3.

AT&T LTE Thread

Can we start one? Just info people are hearing about LTE coming to their area.
I'll start by adding that I am in a HSPA+ area Danbury, Connecticut. I get anywhere from 3-6 mbps download speed. The mayor on his twitter account said AT&T is testing in the area, and that it will be here sooner rather than later. When I went to FCC Spectrum Dashboard, I found that AT&T has two 700Mhz towers registered for Bridgeport, Danbury, and Stamford.

I'd love to see if AT&T has a planned roadmap or something. All I know is full rollout by 2013. Verizon got LTE into my area (Fresno, CA) in the middle of June. That's about 3-4 months after the Thunderbolt came out. If AT&T followed that, it would be coming soon, but I've heard nothing.

I get 3 to 5 with 3g in Melissa, TX. 16mbps with HSPA+. When I go into the city it's 26 to 56mbps.
We are not just north of Dallas. We are Melissa, TX.

I have never gotten more than 16-18 in Los Angeles or Phoenix.

Living in Minnesota, a Non LTE area for AT&T I hadn't experienced it on my Skyrocket . However I had to travel to KC for the weekend and put the SR through a string of tests. All I can say is HOLY HELL, LTE is amazing. Here is a screen capture of many of the tests.
I have isolated one of the tests, if accurate is unbelievable. I tested in Northern KC to Downtown to out in the suburbs like Independence.

Any info on lte in central Arkansas? More specifically Conway? I've heard rumors..

I live in Corning, about 5 hours west of NYC. Get ATT '4G' HSPA... not HSPA+.
Get about 5MB down and 1.2MB up on a good day.. normally it's like 2.5 down and 1 up though. Can't wait until I get to go to NYC and test out the LTE there.
The fact that ATT has just started rolling out LTE means that when you DO get a signal, it will be extremely nice as not a lot of people are utilizing it yet. Also, you'll get LTE in areas that don't officially have it yet (as they're in the middle of rolling out the network) which is always a nice surprise.

I was in Queens few weeks ago and got to try LTE. I got between 23-30Mbps with 3 bars. Can't wait for Connecticut to get LTE.

I was at my moms work, just waiting for her to get her check, and randomly did a speedtest.
64 down, 23 up.
I'll post a SS later, since I'm at school using the computers, and don't have my cable on me.

I'm in Houston and average around 18 Mbps down/10Mbps up. Highest I've seen here was 35 Mbps at the airport. LTE coverage is pretty good all over the metropolitan area, and HSPA+ speeds are usually around 8 Mbps where LTE isn't available.

^^^ THIS. I got ridiculously fast speeds here in Orlando as well. Faster then my broadband cable modem at home. lol .. Not sure if it's because the network itself is super fast, or there just aren't that many people using LTE here yet...Probably a little of both.

only getting around 3 d 1u here in boulder,co, but im moving to hawaii in 6months so hopefully they'll be increasing speeds there

I've hit as high as 60 down here in the SF bay area.

25 down in midtown Los Angeles
sadly 2 weeks into my new contract, received the dreaded throttle txt msg from att

San Diego was turned on not long ago... My short tests are pulling down 25+mbps. No complaints here.

[Q] Infuse on T-mobile speeds Chicago area

I just switch to tmobile after unlocking my infuse. All of my reading was saying that it would only run on Edge. The phone is currently running the latest beanstalk rom. I have seen connections on edge, 3g and H. I was trying to see if this was an error on the signal indicator on the rom or if something has changed with the towers and tmobiles network allowing higher speeds. All the past threads were from late 2011 or early 2012. I did run multiple speed tests and was showing anywhere from 5-9mb down and about 1.5mb up i tried about 5 local servers with in a 30 mile range of me. I am about 30miles outside of chicago.
Thanks,
Joe

That is very good news!
I don't know where you read that, but I knew that T-Mobile and AT&T use same technology on modem.

My speedtest

I think it would be useful to include where you are getting those speeds. Mine was in Columbus, Ohio.

Wow those are impressive numbers, T-Mobile LTE in Indianapolis is lacking...

about the same, around 30 most of the time. I was in Ann Arbor, MI once and was getting 90+ mbps. insane

I get about 50 down, 15 up on my D801 with CM12 using T-Mobile at my home. Don't mind the embarrassingly slow WiFi result on that screenshot. I've been using my backup modem (DOCSIS 2.0)

How is reception on T-Mobile?

I'm on a Nexus 6P right now, but I had a brief stint with the ZTE Axon 7 that I ended up returning because of terrible T-Mobile reception (around 10 to 12 dBm worse than the 6P at any given time).
Any complaints with the Honor 8 on T-Mobile?

I've only had the phone for a short time, but it's working fine on T-Mobile. Definitely getting better reception than my 1+1, but that's to be expected.

Are you able to get band 12 on t-mobile?
Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk

Not sure if i get band 12 but I average 22mb download and 23mb upload on speedtest using simple mobile. It gets better signal than my nexus 6p. I have never seen less than LTE for data signal (except no data when on call). This phone is a real keeper and thats coming from a simple mobile (t-mobile mvno) user.

Great reception here, coming from an LG v10 this has better reception and better download speeds too. I'm on TMOUS.
