4G slowed wayyy down - any thoughts?

So for the past 2 days or so, my 4G speed has slowed down to like 50 kb download and 200 kb upload. Up til this point I was getting closer to 5 mb download and 1 mb upload on average. I called sprint to ask if they were doing any work in my area that would cause this issue, and they told me they have not had any other problems reported from anyone else.
I flashed the latest wimax, updated profile/prl. Any other ideas? As a side note, for the past couple weeks flash intensive website will only load 4/5 of the way on 4G. I have posted about this before, and while others have had similar problems, there does not seem to be any definite solution.

Experiencing horrible speed, and unstable connectivity in flushing NY.
Can't even open up web pages most of the times.
2-3 4g bars btw.

I've been experiencing the same issue also.. did a couple google searches on "4G throttling" and sounds like that may be the reason.

Hmm.. no problem here for me in downtown NYC:

Update:
I'm actually in SLC, Utah. I went into a Sprint store today that is about 3 blocks away from my house and tested the Evo there for 4G speeds to compare and speeds were normal. So of course while I am talking to the rep saying that for the past few days my speeds have been terrible, I pull my phone out and test it and of course it works just fine... 4G speeds were testing about 5 mb download.
Isn't it funny how things seem to start working at the most ironic times? Oh well, just glad it's working again.

3G speeds

What are yalls 3G speeds?
I've done 3 tests and I've gotten :
Download | Upload
3160 | 236
1641 | 329
2227 | 304
Now I say those are pretty damn good.

The NYC area is improving quite a bit.
3862 | 1595
4629 | 1710
4350 | 1688
And my fastest (Yes on an Aria):

This is epic for a wireless device. I wish I had these speeds in my area. I think the fastest I've gotten was a bit over 3mbit and close to 1mbit upload.

It's funny how all this 4G advertising has come about lately. Verizon's 4G is actually very impressive but the 3G network still can be improved vastly to be far greater than what it is now. The HSPA 3.5G network can handle 7.2mbit connections on our phones and we're only seeing half that. Imagine if everyone was getting 6-7mbit down speeds all the time! That's nearly 1mb/sec.

Seeing this thread makes me sad because I used to get 3500kbps but now get about 600kbps. I couldn't figure out the problem and decided to call AT&T. They want some of my phones info and to maybe exchange it. I've been too lazy to backup and flash the stock ruu and talk to them.

Wi fi speed

what's the best wi fi speed you got on your phone compared to your actual router internet speed?

1 Mbps. And that too limited by router I guess

My phone connects at 65mbps but my actual broadband is 14-20mbps depending on time of the day

And it's from PC. I do not want to know the phone one
P.S.: I do not think speedtest.net is reliable. My speed i about 2Mb when the server mesure it but at the finall second it goes to 3Mb... in the past i got a result around 50Mb (WTF??) and i actually have about 1Mb. So do now trust the FINALL result...

I get slower speeds than on my PC on all ROMs I've had on my phone, it's 4Mbps, but on phone it's not more than 1-1.5 Mbps... I don't know why but on phone it seems to always be slower...

...Me to but I think it has to do with the wifi. Most pc use cable, and if they don't, pc wifi is stronger than phone's.

post your 3g speed tests results.

theres a speed test thread in just about every other forum so i thought id start one here to lol.

thats using prl 52341 40miles outside of atlanta.

Is that using app or browser? I live in norcal mts and the only net options I have are verizon 3g or aol dialup and the nearest broadband is 4hrs south in Sacramento. I have always wondered if it was possible to boost 3g speeds or what the limiting factors were? My 3g has never gone over 1.8 mbs and 1.2 is typical on my android (0.6-1.1 mbs max on my BB LOL)

You could try a network extender... There also is a speedtest.net app in the market.

This is my speed with two or three bars of signal

Yeah I use that and cnlabs test...best results were from pdanet almost 1.9 (one time) but I get a more consistent 1.3from wifi tether recently and 1.6 as its top (once)

I'm in Reynoldsburg, Ohio with 2 bars of 3g. My speed is avg of 500kbps down and 100 kbps up. I have hit as high as 1meg down on the right day. Pings are usually in the ~125ms range.

Sweet, I'll be DL'ng speedtest later.

CM13: Slow LTE Speeds?

anyone else have issues with slow data when downloading anything or when using certain apps? though speedtest has always shown decent speeds, i've always noticed that downloading files or using apps like instagram or snapchat seem to take FOREVER to upload/download media. i ran an experiment this morning and have absolutely no idea wtf is going on but you can see the differences in download speed i'm talking about:

LTE right before i ran the speedtest above, here's my download speed for a video - a MERE 178 KB/s:
and here's me having connected to WiFi as soon as i got into the office, showing it's not a server issue where the above file is hosted:
should i enable/disable something? i've had to mess with disabling optimizing certain apps for battery consumption or whatever for random issues (notifications, not sync'ing, etc.) - could down-speeds be similarly affected with a random setting? FYI my 'bars'/reception show as full, on LTE, and speedtest results are quite high. i'm absolutely dumbfounded and because i'm currently taking an uber to/from the office (30mi each way), it's extremely frustrating as i'm on my phone the entire time.
TIA!

so no one? one bump before accepting the crappy speeds

I have the same problem with my galaxy s5 running the latest cm13 snapshot. I tried reverting back to stock and the data speeds were again normal (fast). But then i flashed back cyanogenmod and the problem continues... Stuck at 200kb/s
