Many of you must have heard that starting today LTE-A has been turned on by Verizon on more than 400 cities nationwide. I live in Denver area and seems like it's been turned on here. I haven't seen any unusual speeds yet (maybe because I don't get very good signal where I work).. but have you guys noticed it?
Do they have a list or map of the cities?

my city is listed, i see no difference. As a matter of fact, my speeds are performing terrible in the last few days.
yeah my town is listed also, and no difference

I actually did a random speed test earlier in San Diego which is listed. Pretty slow if you want to see the screenshot yourself.
I'm on the rooted Sprint ROM with all the Verizon features though, so I'm not sure if that would prevent LTE-A
I'm flashing back to stock tonight so I'll see again tomorrow when I get to work.

You think 40+ Mbps is awful for phone carrier speeds? Wow! I'm thrilled by that.

if you have low speed on speedtest, go to settings and choose the server. it defaults to automatic but sometimes it doesn't pick the closest one. when you manually choose the speeds will change depending on the one you're closest to

They're listing it by BTA (Basic Trading Area) as well ie. San Fran.-Oak.-S.J.,CA on that list, aka BTA 404, stretches from us in Mendocino County in the north to King City in the south, it's huge.
I got the boost from xlte and now advanced LTE last year on my note 3 15mbs dwn down this year 50mbs dwn down now note 7 134mbs dwn upload around 20mbs.

Yes. I've tested multiple times today. I've also tested it in various parts of the city the last few days. It's always above 10mbps. Most of the time it's above 15.
Edit: More results after mine that's even faster. Nice work T-mobile.
Wow. Mine sucks.

Us Sprint folks are too embarrassed to post on this thread. Unless you want my WiFi speed that is
I got from the low 13Mbps to 28Mbps inside my house. This must be the thing of future for Internet connection... not very consistent at all. At least when I used my Captivate with HSPA+, I consistently got 2Mbps

Sounds like a old outdated cell tower for AT&T .. at&t is doing a massive upgrade nationwide , gprs is slow compared to cdma .. its really 2g and I'm surprised you even got those speeds..
Sent from my EVO using Tapatalk 2
I am very surprised. I have to use GPRS at work because I don't get any 3G signal and its not fast at all
GPRS is not EDGE. For all intents and purposes, they might as well be since they're both sloooooooow. EDGE is defined as 2.5 G which is a marketing ploy to differentiate molasses in Miami (EDGE) and molasses in Alaska (GPRS).
I tried to listen to 48 kbps radio stream and it was not fast enough.. had to switch to 3g
How do you force GPRS? I know you can force 3G and edge.

Get an iPhone 2G. Just kidding. I know that Windows Mobile, webOS and the Androids I've had all have a "network selection" tab in cellular settings. Uncheck "automatic network selection" and wait for the phone to show you options. Usually you'll get an operator's 2G or 3G option and you select which one you want. Windows Phone (post-Mango) has an actual 3G toggle. Other than battery saving I can't understand why you'd want 2G. Data consumption remains the same, just slower. If you're looking to put your browser on a diet, just install Opera Mini and enjoy compressed data and faster browsing speeds.
I have the note II. Only 3G and edge and lte I can't do GPRS.

I'm on the 10 GB mobile share plan also. Maybe your signal is weak where you're at? Also i did mine pretty early in the morning so probably network traffic was low
To be getting those type of speeds what apn ate you using? Speeds are never that high in Houston.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
I never touched the APN, just left it how it was out of the box:
I posted my very highest speed but Ive also gotten down to 16 mbps and everything in between.
My APN is untouched as well. Also on the 10gb mobile share, but I'm up in northern Virginia.
Never had data speeds this fast on my iPhone... Same network, same location. I think the Note 3 (usually) does a good job of maximizing data speeds!
