Is Verizon LTE this slow? - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just moved to Verizon from AT&T. I got MUCH faster data speeds on AT&T, somewhere in the 11 or 12 Mbps region.
Is this just the normal download speed of LTE data on Verizon or do I need to change a setting or something?
Im in the Phoenix area.

honestly it really just depends on the area as far as carrier speed is concerned. i'm on verizon...in the chicago area and frequently benchmark at 19mbps down and 6mbps up...depends on the time of day too, how far away you are from the tower, and how crowded that tower is. my wife has at&t ... sometimes her phone is faster, sometimes mine is...same with signal.

I get 22 MBPS here in rural PA. My AT&T was around 5 MBPS.

i've gotten up to 25 down and 10 up... in a smaller sized city.... where i live.. golf club area..... i pull about 8 down 4 up.. but i'm on wifi so don't really care.. cuz i get 25 down 5 up with that... good enough

MJ7 updates and LTE speed was stupid.
I have Verizon "Note 3" MJ7 updates and LTE speed was stupid.
LTE has been reduced, and reception.
I do not know.
My phone fool???, MJ9 whether a fool???
Sad.

Can't complain here. Speeds vary depending on location. From what I read a while back is the network could be clogged during peak times as well.

I have had my 4g drop from 20mbps down to about 2 now in the same areas at the same times. Either vzw is beyond their capacity for "fast" or they are throttling the f*ck out of me.

you guys.
you guys are lucky to have that speed.
in Los Angeles, with LTE on, 5mbps down.
most likely stays in 3g.
I'm getting angry.
my friend's note 2 gets 4g, when I get 3g.
but that note 2 still gets the 5mbps down.

I used to never get under 20 on VZW here in Tucson. Now I checked today I couldn't get over 8. Something must be wrong or they're throttling people way down. I wouldn't be surprised if its because I have unlimited and they're trying to totally f*** anyone with unlimited data.

You must not like iPhones... Sprint's 3G speeds have been getting progressively worse over the past year and I'd say it probably due to free smartphone promos (e.g., free Evos through Radio Shack--I know three people that got them for free) than iPhones. Sprint knows about it and is doing something about it. I don't remember where I read the article (I just googled it and unfortunately couldn't find it) where it states that Sprint is improving their infrastructure. I flashed back to Froyo because I thought that might be the problem and my speeds did increase for a while and then dropped back. Just be patient.

Here's my "normal" speeds... I was getting faster speeds on dial-up back in 1995. This has happened in my area since last November. Before that, I could easily pull 2mbps all day and all night.
Everyone else with this problem, do your speeds increase late night/early morning? Between about 2am and 6am, I can pull about 1.3mbps, but during the day or any other time, I can NEVER get above 100kbps. Obviously this shows that the towers are just overloaded, and not broken, as Sprint keeps claiming.

Sorry to hear you are having 3G issues. My 3G shot up about a month ago from about 0.3m to more than 1.0m. I have never had anything below 0.1m unless I was roaming on Verizon. Now I'm pretty much above 1.0m with occasional slow downs, but still over 0.3m when slow.

Typical <1Mbs. Upload speeds are usually faster than download.
I have had crapy 3G speeds ever since I switched to the hero just after it came out. Before that with my touch pro I would get 1.5 Mbps easy all day and night.
The iPhone is not going to slow down the network anymore than any android phone.
Sprints data sucks!!!!!!

Is Wimax actually getting better in your area?

Is it my imagination or are speeds improving as more power users abandon the Evo for non-Wimax devices?
I'm now getting 8 megs in a place where I was barely able to connect a year ago.
(Network Vision rollout probably has something to do with this, I know, but I still believe it has to do with fewer users overall..)
And my best reception area has improved from 8 to over 10.
sub-80ms ping times don't hurt either..

Actually, you're right to mention the flip side of improved 4G: rapidly deteriorating 3G. Maybe a lot of Evo LTE power users are saturating their local 3G networks waiting for Sprint to light up LTE in their areas. Cause around here at least it's just getting ridiculous. See screen shot - can you guess which speeds are 4G and which ones are 3G?

At work 2 miles north if home I have full 4G coverage and have gotten ridiculous 20mbps speeds before. At home though it is fair to poor reception with an average of 4-5mbps, when I can connect. 3g has been horrible the past 4 months here all around. Good reception at work, no reception at home (thank god for my airave), bad speeds everywhere. Vision is supposed to be live shortly, we'll see if that makes any difference.

I guess so...it just isn't consistent with those speeds. One test rendered 10mbps and the very next was 5. 5 has always been the average here in Nashville, Tennessee.
I live in the heart of my city and its suppose to have 4g, I don't get it at home. If I travel 11 miles to work in the burbs I get 4g.
I haven't noticed wimax speeds increase but I have seen 3g get a boost. Hopefully that means wimax is next as lte is getting setup.

Why do review sites keep posting low download speeds with HSPA+?

I don't get it I keep seeing them post speeds of 200-300KBps with HSPA+........ running speedtest on my GS2 I'm getting around 1.5MBps and yes I mean Byte and not bit. HSPA+ in theory can go to 21mbps so there is still room to grow to at least 2MBps with HSPA+. Then with DCHSPA+ with the Nexus 4 on paper you can reach speeds of 4-5MBps and my friend who lives in another country has a DCHSPA+ modem and he is speedtested it for me and got 3.8MBps.
I see all these LTE 4G speeds and they're getting from 21mbps - 32mbps in most cases which is like 2.5MBps -4MBps in speed.
I mean I'm getting not far off that right now with Three in the UK on my GS2 and I haven't even tried a DCHSPA device yet, I'm not sure if three support it.
I don't get where these sites are getting 200-300KBps speeds from?
On T-Mobile with the galaxy s2 I got speeds around 15Mbps down and about 3-4Mbps upload on their HSPA+42. Nexus 4 should get the same. Although T-Mobile has very limited HSPA+ where I am living now so I won't be able to test in that same area for a while.. Those reviews are garbage, just saying

Yeh so you're getting like 1.8MBps which tbh is more than enough for a mobile but also close to these poor LTE speeds which are really just DCHSPA+ speeds.

It's also not much slower than LTE right now......
I don't see how all these sites seem to be getting such low speeds.
Its just depends on your luck on how close the celltower is to you. At my work its over 20Mbps with an SII, at home its more around 5Mbps.
I have seen lots of t-mobile and AT&T cell sites. Really depends on if they have upgraded to a true fiber, like using the local Comcast or other high speed provider. Or if they are still using the multiple t1 lines to power it.
A lot of sites with multiple cell providers, usually AT&T will have copper into site, while the others have a fiber connection. Just depends. =/ Even if you see fiber into the cell site, it can just mean they are using it for distance run, coming from t1 station down the road.
Some of these sites have some really old stuff in them. Kinda hit or miss on the ones that have a really good internet connection to them.
My input. Just from seeing the cell sites.
And if you are right under a cell site, you never connect to that one...to much signal. It connects you to one further away

They must be using AT&T because their HSPA+ network can be pretty slow sometimes, compared to T-Mobile that is. In my area AT&T gets about 2-4Mbps down and maybe 1Mbps up.
I had my father's galaxy s2 (42mbps) and my galaxy nexus (21mbps) right next to each other dieting a speed test.
Galaxy s2 always got double the speed. He was getting 14mbps and I couldn't break 7mbps
I know radios and software and everything else come into play, but the potential for more is there

Unless you're on att or coming from another carrier to tmo and not sure what you'll get why would you be worried about this. If you're already on tmo you should get the same or better speeds, correct?

I was wondering how the speeds actually were since I'll be coming from Verizon.
With tmo in south fla you will get around 8-23 down and 1-5 upload.
What about speeds for AT&T in southern california?
Here is a wild guess; (most) reviewers are in an area which was affected by Sandy.
That's just B.S. I live close to DC area and I got upto 21 MBPS on my HTC ONE S. LTE doesn't necessarily mean its faster than HSPA+ .T-Mo's HSPA+ is awesome but probably ignorant people can't tell the difference.
You can check data speeds for your carrier at rootmetrics. In my area, T-Mobile gets at best 1 mb download. Verizon has LTE here which gets 20 - 30 mbps. Stupid fast. That being said, I'm probably going with AT&T via Straight Talk.

This is a very bad idea.
1) The flash will most likely fail.
2) If it did somehow flash your baseband will be screwed.
These are theoretical speeds, anyway. I have never had more than 7 or 8 Mbps down on my phone. And it just depends on cellphone traffic through that particular tower, I think. I have done speed tests countless times when I barely crack 1 Mbps on "HSPA+".
This is what I am getting with t-mobile, and i am happy lol

I am in Metro Detroit and my speed used to be 20-25 at my home , last week its been 14-15 constantly. Does anybody else see the decrease or is it just me because of the new sim card?

That's still pretty quick. Speed varies on the time of day. If too many people are using the network, it'll get clogged and users will see their speeds lowered. If you're far from the cell tower/antenna your speed will be lower. Having a new sim card simply doesn't affect network speeds.
When I'm at home I don't even get half the speed you get! Because there's this tall apartment building next to my house!

I had t-mobile's prepaid before I switched to a contract last year. And speeds are the same whether or not it's on a contract or not. So yeah, like I said perhaps their network is filled with people using it so you will see lower speeds. Also, during peak hours lowers the speed you normally get as well. Orrrr T-Mobile is trolling you. Hmmmm....

lol I am not complaining, I am trying to figure out whats the deal. I am sure the difference I have is not because of congestion. At my home speed differs only 1-3mbs during busy hours compare to lets say 2am. It has been steady 20-25mbs. I literally have been running speedtest every day during last month and a half to see if they gonna throttle me or if I use too much data and just testing out speeds
Heh... And you still complain? I'm in front of a TMO signal tower and it's been getting worse since 3 days ago.

The Testing application (*#*#4636#*#*) will show HSPAP, the phone status in the settings application should show HSPA+:15 or HSPAP:15. HSPAP is HSPA+. The status won't show HSPA+ 42, because the number indicates connection type and not speed.

I've been getting blazing speeds lately. Even in places where my old verizon had no service. It's a given that i need to be outside to get 30+ mbps but i'm happy getting 15 mbps inside a bunch of concrete. The uploads have been pretty good as well.
Definitely slower for me. I used to get 20 down, 15 up, now I get 10 down .12 up on HSPA+. When I go into town and I get LTE though, I get around 30 down 12 up

You're one of the lucky ones. I'm INCREDIBLY lucky to even get 1mb. My 3g is pretty much useless and LTE is nowhere to be found.
4g is finally hitting Colorado Springs. I've found it in quite a few places, I've even been picking up signal at my work. Nothing at home yet unfortunately. My best speed has been about 10 Mbps down. Seems they are growing the network pretty fast.

Like all carriers, it depends on where you live. Here in Dallas-Ft Worth, the service is good for the most parts. Yeah there are some parts of the metroplex where service can get spotty but for the most part, no complaints. That said, i'm done after the last 6 months of my contract. Going to a GSM carrier since i switch phones so much. My wife and son will remain on Sprint.
I went to Sprint from Verizon 2 yrs. ago for the price. (Before VZW had their family share plans). The data was painfully slow where I live in central NC. 4g lte is non existent and 3g will hardly load a web page. There are cities around me that have fairly good data speeds but for the most part, it's frustratingly slow. I went back to VZW this year and it is so nice to have fast data and a reliable signal wherever I go. As with everything, it all depends on the individual circumstances. Sprint gets bashed because they deserve it in most of those cases.

Yeah, they've made good improvements to your east in Raleigh. It was very hit or miss earlier, but now things are much improved with their network. Going around the mountains are the only place where I've been without reliable signal, but that's to be expected (even a Verizon phone had no signal there). Definitely interested to see, though, if Roam Control will work for the Moto X on 3G.
If only Sprint would go ahead and release KitKat, though. But that's a whole other story...
Right on queue, here comes KitKat. My wife likes her X, and we used to be on the 3g slow boat. LTE is amazing though... Sprint is really stepping up their game lately.

Winston Salem coverage pretty much sucks. I would've pulled my hair out without roam control.
Roam control is not working for me. How did you get it to work?

LTE is nowhere to be found in Queens, NY and there are a lot of dead spots on Long Island as well. My phone has become useless on vacation in ny. My friend on tmobile has been on LTE the whole time. 3G is basically 1x rebranded
Sprint makes me sad and the fact they may very well buy T Mobile makes me want to cry.
great 4G around Miami except for, irritatingly, the airport. Of course, waiting for a plane to depart is the time I'd most like to stream Netflix, MLB At-bat, Hulu etc.
Any luck with roam control
