I live in a smaller city on the border of US and Mexico so I new LTE was going to take a while. Last week I noticed I was getting it and I was surprised so I started doing speed tests and wow is our slow. Oh well I chalked it up to maybe testing in the area and whatever but it is not getting any faster. Here is a screenshot of my speeds and I know its accurate because when I do the test with wifi its accurate. What do you guys think?

I should be I grandfathered in. So to use LTE people need an unlimited plan? I should add that when I have gone to a bigger city (San Antonio) I did have LTE speeds.

check under your phone settngs and see what your signal strength is
your pic shows very week signal
go around your area and see what other speeds you get, might be in a bad area like me
try another speed test app, that one seems to take a lot longer to a host for me lately
I have asked, maybe you have passed the 5 gb they are slowing you down
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
If you are grandfathered in the unlimited plan, AT&T will throttle your data speeds down to Edge after a certain amount of data is used.

I have used about 250mb in this billing cycle since a lot of my usage is wifi.

For on I do not think lte is all that so how fast have yall gotten on your phones?
3g
I've gotten up to 1200 kbps down. I don't really see where I would really take advantage of lte speeds, I can do whatever I want on 3g (Netflix, Pandora). Maybe for tethering but I don't have much use for it being around wifi all the time.

My 3g has never been more then 1500 kbps. Very slow compared to other carrier's 3g

I pull 1600kb's down when at work consistently.
Id like to thank everyone that helped me root, rom, & nand.

I can get anywhere from 500 to 1500. Which has always been enough for me. I have only tethered a couple of times in a pinch and it seemed fine for that.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Wow. You guys are fast. I get about 70-150 kB/s here.

Did that too. A little better. But I only cracked 100 kB/s once. Even with a full signal. It's not that fast. Maybe someday we will get LTE down here. VZWs page says by the end of 2011. That's fine with me. I don't have an upgrade till mid 2012 anyway.

Not sure what radio you're on but my data speeds were about where yours are with the new 05.06 radio. So much better on 04.08..

~960kb/s in my house
when I am at work in the morning I normally get about 2 mbs but one morning I clocked a whooping 2.59 mbs.
I have hit 2200 several times but tend to stay around 1500-1600 consistently.

No I'm just kidding. Sprint 4G is terrible.
I have little hope of experiencing even ****ty 4G speeds. Consider it a privilege.

I believe so - 3G averages 150-200kbps. Not sure how that translates to Mbps.
Try using the web site version, our speak easy.net, that app always locks and stutters,

Just interested in seeing some peoples speed results with specific carrier. I have Sprint, and I must say that speeds are suuuuper slow where I live. I just want to show people what a general good range of speeds are for carriers.
So I'll ask if you can post your speed test results, what carrier you have, along with City and state. Oh, and 4G or 3G.
Mine is from Riverside, CA (Sprint/3G)

But this testing I think depends (to get a real measure) of the area with good signal. That will give us a better results to compare it.
Strange that I'm located in okc but speed results prove best out of Kansas. Any thoughts? Also speed test says I'm closer to that location then I am to okc when I can see okc with my naked eye. Lol

Not familiar with avatar, but in the network settings there should be something like access points, there you would add an apn of your network.
Okay, since I have AT&T what would I enter?

If you literally search for "AT&T APN", you'd get the answer.

I currently have a AT&T s4 using ST.
My current apn is tfdata that can be found on the ST website. Is this the best one?
My phone says 4G but its.obviously not 4G speeds.
Also my simcard was the original big one and I cut it so could this be a problem of my slow speeds?
Thanks

the most you will get is HSPA which shows 4G icon, the only Straight Talk that gets LTE is the Galaxy S3 and its on Sprint Network. The max throughput is around 7MBPS down and around 1MBPS up.
