Help Is this really 4GLTE?

[eunhon]

My 4GLTE is slow every where i go.... is it just me? How can i make this faster? this is like being on dial up :/...
Also I've tethered my phone. Can i still have the updates that LG Sends me? it says i have 11 of them

 

[johnnyolivares]

I say no, i average 3mbps. Max 8mbps, Min 1mbps.
have you updated your prl?
and maybe its your area? where do you live

 

[eunhon]

[eunhon]

About a month ago I was in sunrise and I was getting 2mbps but up here in palm beach county anytime I go west of 441 the speeds go down to around the 1s you're posting

Maybe just bad service area where you live. I'm in southern California and I get 2 to 3 mbps down but get 4mbps up.

Some parts of south Florida are severely capped I live in Ft. Lauderdale, but speeds for me like that are normal cause I only have a 3G phone.

i get around 700-1200kbps in Brooklyn, NY. Around 8-9mbps in South bronx, around 3mbps in Staten Island. It really vary in Manhattan and Queens.

Check this video out, see what 4G is actually capable of:

This is pretty much normal speed for me just outside of orlando,fl

 

[anubispax]

North Jersey here, I'm averaging 4.5 mbps down and about 5 mbps up since the prl update.

Make sure you are actually in a 4g coverage area. I can't tell from the screenshot in the op.

 

[Gman9831]

Yea good point does it say EV or 4G @ the top

 

[dewolfe09]

Its just really slow in some areas. I'm in Kalamazoo mi and they got 4g out here but its rare if i get to or a little over even 1mbps

Me too

In the Detroit Metro area and my average speeds are below:



Does anyone know why below it shows the server connected to as San Jose CA?

 

[Rxpert83]

That's just the server it chose for the speed test. It should have found a closer one but its no big deal

That's some good speeds you got there but to get a server closer just go tools>change server> & pick the closest one

Hey man, I have the same problem! It can be at full bars but I get < 1 Mbps.

I am in North Atlanta (inside the perimeter). Anyone else in ATL getting crap speeds?

I'm in creek, and I get almost 3mb/sec with my 4G : \

 

[Gman9831]

Im in Palm Beach,Fl & within the past maybe 2 months my speeds have been degrading it went from 5mbps to 3 or 4 now it's 1.7 . My guess is everyne moving to 4G with the LTE For All promotion. I know down here right now we're on 3mhz of bandwidth but I just can't wait till they start using all the spectrum available & then when they start reframing

 

[nizlovelots]

the more people in your area using metros 4g lte the slower your speeds will be. i go from 1.5 down to 600kbps but my 3g admire only got 120kbps down to about 20kbps so im happy i guess.

 

[MyUsernameRox]

I prefer to think of Metro's 4g LTE as 4g LiTE (light).

I get 4 megabytes on my 4g network which is faster than my DSL home connection
