Ashland, Ohio LTE

My test just now in north San Diego County with only 2 bars vs my home wifi.

This is from Sylacauga AL which is about 40 miles south of Birmingham. The result at 10:28AM is on 3G and the results at 10:09AM is on LTE.

Here are some more Verizon LTE results from outside of Detroit. The best speeds kill my home cable internet.

Looks like AT&T still has some work to do in the Twin Cities.

This looks a lot like my Verizon results in Rochester. Yours are better. I hope something is going on around here - because this is nuts.

Had one that was 0.00 up and 0.21 down. On LTE. Cripes. I did NOT leave at&t AND buy iphone 5 for results like this!

From what I've seen they are pretty similar speeds. Verizon is in way more places though so that gives Verizon the edge as far as I'm concerned. If AT&T or Sprint have LTE in your area and you don't care about using it in other areas I'm sure you will be happy with them too.

Average speed give or take...

It would be helpful if people posted location and carrier...about half the posts miss one or the other.
It appeared AT&T was faster.

I agree that more location data would be helpful. All my tests were done in suburbs outside of Detroit. AT&T may in fact be faster but I just showed a 42 down speed test on Verizon so their top speeds can be great too.

My main point is that most people on Verizon will be in LTE areas far more often than people on AT&T and sprint.

I'm not saying this difference exists between Verizon and AT&T, but how much real world difference is there really on an iPhone getting 40Mb and one getting 35Mb? From what I've seen the speeds are pretty great for the most part from all carriers. I don't think you will notice much difference in HD streaming or web browsing between LTE on different carriers.

I think the biggest difference between the carriers' LTE is that Verizon's LTE coverage area dwarfs the others so most customers will spend more time on LTE and less on 3G with Verizon.

Not to be a smart aleck but most of the screenshots say Verizon or AT&T in the upper left. But I agree, location would be nice.

My speed test was 20 minutes north of Philly.

The true test of the network. Chelsea neighborhood, Manhattan around 6pm today. Either AT&T LTE is holding up well in NYC or the deluge of expected iPhone 5 users hasn't happened yet.

Is LTE available in Pittsburgh? I read a post somewhere that it is but it seems that no one from Pgh. Reads this forum.

North Houston Sprint:

Verizon in NW Chicago burbs. 7mbs minimum upwards of 25mbs. I was getting 7-11mbs in my apt but at work it scorches up to 25. I tested a few time during the day and it remained constant. Very nice!

 

[BreakingKayfabe]

I'm happy

AT&T Pittsburgh tonight and the other day on my 4s
