I've noticed the pure has category 6 bands which get 300mps vs category 9 at 3000mps.
Has anyone noticed horribly slow LTE speeds? I'm in philly and North of philly and both areas have poor speeds.
Speed test showed my d/l speed was 2.5mbps and upload of 3.5mbps. This is awful.
Any thoughts or solutions to this?
It's a major deal breaker for me.

For what it's worth I'm on AT&T here in Columbus, OH and my LTE speeds are really disappointing compared to my other AT&T phone (Note5/Iphone6). In some cases I'm getting less than 1M on the moto x pure and the other phones are 20M+. It could be the towers are different but seems unlikely given the area's I've tested. I'm off to NJ, NYC and Austin, TX this week so it'll be a nice test to see if the issue is isolated to just Columbus or generally overall with the Pure/AT&T.

North Jersey here and I'm only getting about 6 with Verizon...
The specs say that the phone supports 4G LTE† (B1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 17, 25, 26, 38, 41).
I am coming from a WiMax phone that is supposed to end in Novermber 2015.
The main reason I purchased this phone is because my understanding is that carriers are in the process of switching over to LTE Channel 17 because it does a much better job with both range and building penetration. This is one of the few phones in my budget that had band 17.
I know 17 isn't everywhere yet, but should be coming soon to your area.
Well after I worked with Verizon today, turns out that moving your nano sim from an iPhone just gives you basic LTE speeds. Once my new one was setup I was clocking 50mbps download speeds.

Damn where the hell are you from?
I got the fastest I've ever gotten this week:
66 Down
13 up
On At&t
A little bit later the up was a little slower, but went ahead and did a speed test so I could save the results.
I'm using straight talk on att towers and My speeds do seem slower then on my nexus 5. I'm getting around 12 max down and 3-5up when it used to be closer to 20-30 down and 15up. I did get cut SIM card but I don't think that's the issue. I've tried to use a different pan but it did not work, I think the pan was wrong for my sim.

Just a bit of a correction:
Band 17 is used by AT&T, and is in the 700MHz range. They also operate on Bands 2, 4, and 5 for increased bandwidth in cities.
Band 13 is used by Verizon and is also in the 700MHz range. They operate Band 4 for increased bandwidth in cities, and Band 2 LTE is being refarmed from Verizon's older 1x CDMA signal in some areas.
Band 12 is being rolled out by T-Mobile now. Like the above, also in the 700MHz range. Same situation as Verizon: Band 4 in cities, Band 2 in rural refarmed areas. Before TMO rolled out B12, B4 was their primary band, so it's currently more built out than B12, but B12 has greater range.
Sprint is the odd one out, whose lowest LTE band is in the 800MHz range (Band 26), while their primary band is way up in the 1900MHz range (Band 25).
Basically, no carriers are starting to switch to Band 17, because AT&T has been using it for ages (already built out), and the other carriers have their own low-frequency bands to work with. The range and building penetration has to do with the frequency used: 700MHz, which 3 of the 4 major carriers are riding on (17, 13, 12).

It seems in some areas, my signal is triple strength (as shown in my post above).... But sitting in my office this morning, I usually get 22-28mbs down (and have for the last 2 years) and I'm only getting 10mbs. I wonder if it works better off a certain band that older towers don't have?

For those that had LTE prior to jumping ship to the Nexus 4 are you missing it? I mean I currently have the Iphone 5 through AT&T with LTE coverage and I must say it does feel nice be quickly stream video instantly life for example Youtube videos don't buffer at all for me. I think that is the only negative thing for me in regards to switching over but I would like to hear from anyone else as to if its LTE really a game changer or have or have' got used to live with out LTE anymore.

Well from what I have heard LTE works with Nexus 4 on AT&T but someone can correct me on that as I'm up here in Canada. I have noticed a big diff in streaming and what not but my speeds on 3G were manageable compared to what I hear ATT 3G is like?
Plus those with their Nexus 4 on T-Mobile's HSPA+42 are getting close, or even higher than LTE speeds so they're not entirely unsatisfied. I personally don't have LTE, but those are just my 2¢

What I have read so far that LTE is only available if you live in an area that has AWS band 4 for AT&T which in my case I don't live in such area so no the nexus 4 might have an LTE chip but is half baked so this is why I posed the question as to those who would be leaving LTE behind for the nexus 4 are you satisfied with drop in data speed?
Phoenix, Raleigh, San Juan, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Oklahoma City, Dallas, Chicago, Charlotte. Also Athens, GA and College Station, TX.
This doesn't mean that AT&T's Band 4 LTE network is actually live in these markets.
LTE tariffs in the UK are a joke. Loads of money for tiny data caps. I am on unlimited data 3g and I regularly top 20mb down. Happy as Larry.

As I'm on wifi 99% of the time I rarely use LTE on my Rezound. Only thing I did notice is that when Verzion updated the towers in my area for LTE I finally got decent reception in my house.
I had a Thunderbolt when Verizon's LTE network went live so I was one of the few that got to experience the 50mbps speeds before the network was as big/full as it is now.. And really T-Mobile HSPA+42 in Chicago isn't the worst thing in the world. Hell I was getting by on AT&T GoPhone speeds for a while.. It really isn't a huge deal. Also AT&T band 4 LTE is only confirmed live in like, Oklahoma.

I am a resident of NYC and an AT&T subscriber, currently using the Samsung Galaxy S3. LTE coverage in NYC is excellent, and I typically get 25-50 Mbps downstream, depending on the area. However, I've always been a fan of the Nexus line, so I ordered the Nexus 4 from the Play Store when they became available again a couple of days ago. Here's my question: how are AT&T's HSPA+ speeds in NYC? I'm well aware that the N4 is not LTE-enabled (the LTE Band 4 hack will not work in NYC, since AT&T runs LTE on the 700 mHz frequency here), so I'm concerned with going back to slower speeds.
LTE has really spoiled me, to the point where I would be willing (albeit reluctantly) to forgo the untainted Android experience and slow updates if data speeds will be slow.
Turn off LTE and then test your speeds. You will have your answer.

I was curious about this myself. I am in Queens on T-Mobile (out of contract) and get 20 Mbps down and 2.5 Mbps up (faster than TWC).
If T-Mobile is an option, it's worth it! As for AT&T, I have only seen numbers for Straight Talk (via AT&T) and they are not good (less than 10 down).

AT&T's GS3 doesn't have the toggle option to disable LTE. From what I understand, AT&T has also disabled the dialer code to turn off LTE. I'll look into it a bit further.

Unfortunately, T-Mobile is not an option for me, as the data speeds top out at 0.5 Mbps downstream in my area (Bensonhurst). I am actually a former T-Mo subscriber who ended up leaving for AT&T. I get an average of 20-25 Mbps on LTE inside my apartment (up to 50 Mbps outside), so the Nexus 4 would really have to impress me to use it as a daily driver.
Are you in an area where T-Mobile has already activated LTE and using the HTC One ?
Please post speed test results here. With T-Mobiles lte network being new and being built to LTE Advanced instead of regular LTE I'm sure a lot of people want to know what speeds are going to be getting when LTE comes to them.
Thank You
I would like to know that too. Also, did any of the notorious tmo weak areas fill in with better signal strength with lte? We have the Swiss Cheese of Carriers in a lot of areas.

BAD ASS NOTE 4
Been hitting 60+ in sw Houston area. 80 max. But consistently 30+ easily the last few days. Used to be 15-30 maxing out out at 40.
Southeast Hou. Im at 13-14
Honolulu here. 34mb DL. 12MB UL.
I live in Anaheim California which is on the list but am only getting 28.33 Download & 3.50 Upload, no difference from what I was getting when the Note 4 first came out
i would think this would help more with consistent speeds vs everyone getting higher speeds. Im sure if you are connected to the wideband lte you would see higher speeds during non peak hrs but i can definitely tell the difference in peak hours vs non peak hrs in ABQ NM. Ive seen as low as less than 1mbps down due to congestion and no, i wasnt throttled. Around 11pm, my speeds would jump up. It basically forced me to use my wifi at home due to such low speeds. Hopefully the wideband increase will help clear up congestion as the faster people load/download their data...the faster they can get through the pipeline allowing for a smoother flow. Considering youtube would stop qrtr way through the video due to buffering... i would hope this would fix some of those types of issues.
How do we know we are using LTA? Do you get a symbol on the phone? If so what does it look like? Screenshot maybe?

This is what I'd like to know as well. According to "LTE Discovery" I'm on Band 4 right now. The linked page shows that my city should be LTE-A active. My speeds haven't changed even a little. Mid-teens down, a handful up.

This is the best I've done in town, but only the downtown area gets 4 bars. I'm usually 2 or less around most of the town.. This is versus what I typically get around my house.
When you go into the service menu by dialing *#0011# on the first line you will see Band 4 BW: 15MHz. When you have a connection of 15, or 20MHz you are using wide band lte.

This is correct. This is like a 4 lane highway instead of a single lane. This also includes the lowband spectrum 700mhz it baught from Verizon which is band 12. Band 12 is what travels far and through buildings. You might even get signal in an elevator because of it.

4G = LTE
No problem with LTE on t-mobile in the US
If you have the TL09 version, you should receive LTE already. I'm currently using the TL10 and only receive HSPA+. Not complaining really, as AT&T's HSPA+ speeds are very respectable.

LTE is just that LTE Which means Long Term Evolution. 4G is not even 4G it is an upgraded version of 3G. 4G offers HSPA/+ for data up to 42m in markets that support it. LTE is a joke as no us market even offers the speeds LTE can do. Most speed tests while running on LTE max out around 15 to 24m same for HSPA/+ and when you hit your bandwidth limit your speeds are reduced to that of a dialup modem. I laugh so hard when I hear people wanting a phone and complain it has no LTE.
I suggest you read the Wikipedia entries on 4G and LTE.
I do get LTE on AT&T network however the ascend mate 2 had better signal adherence and would get LTE in more places than the mate 7. I wonder if lollipop will help, this device it's also poorer in battery performance

You forget one important factor, response time and latency is greatly improved on 4G this is very noticeable, this is more important then the increased bandwidth. I am stuck with a old mobile subscription with 3.75 HDSP+, the reason I have not upgraded it earlier is that my old mobile subscription offer me no data limit, I got a letter last month from my telecom company they say they will now updrade my old mobile subscription to 4G and I will still have no data limit.
Looking forward to see what speed I will get with 4G! Currently I get about 22 mbit with 3.75G HDSP+. Bandwidth is enough but responsetimes will bet a lot better with 4G which will make it faster to connect to new connections when using internet.. The bootleneck will probably now be the CPU/GPU of the M7.
