Ridiculous LTE Speeds

[hattoja]

Sorry if this has been touched before..I know there's something wrong with the upload speeds in the speedtest app, but why am I currently averaging 44.xxMbps download speeds!? Has anyone else seen speeds like that?

I'm indoors at work (thick ass concrete walls ~2ft) in Germantown, MD and have full bars of LTE all day. This thing is impressive.

Do the test for speedtest.net from your browser, not the app. App doesn't work right on the TB

How do you get the browser to go to speedtest.net without redirecting you to the Android Market?

Remove the app if installed and turn off mobile view in the browser settings.

or, go to
speakeasy.net/speedtest
i did that in the Verizon store before i bought my phone to test firsthand the strength of LTE in my area (no LTE repeater in-store)
and i'm blown away by the speed/range of LTE in my area.
had an Evo, never EVER got wimax anywhere--let alone in my work (in a warehouse),
and with LTE i'm getting constant coverage and full LTE speed in the warehouse.

it's ridiculous.
best speeds i've gotten were just a mile down the road in SouthCarolina, about 49 down and 12up, using the speakeasy.net web browser page (Atlanta server)

love this phone/network

This morning I was getting 33 Mbps down and 4.2 up.

I average 28 Mbps down and 4 up.

That's using speakeasy dot net's web browser test. Atlanta server.

Amazing.

It's LTE

 

[bulldogmoe7]

Not truly impressed witje he speed as I read from other tests around the country. Average about 10-12 down 1up. Called tech they gave me a bs story. Usage and towers in the area

 

[kjjb0204]

I would be happy with 10-12 down, but the 1 up definitely stinks for LTE. Considering I don't have LTE yet in my area, I guess I would be happy with anything better than 1.5 up at this point.

Try a file download to get a better idea. I don't get more than 1-2 MEGS downloading large files in a "4G" area.

 

[EvilMonkey]

Its because there are no iPhones on the LTE network yet. Once they release an LTE iPhone, you can kiss your ridiculously fast speeds good-bye.

I've seen 6MB/s sustained in my area. Will screenshot it next time.

i turned on my hotspot this afternoon, in my warehouse, for a friend to tether to download his Atrix update (17MB).

took about 10 seconds to download the file to his phone using my LTE signal.

even he was impressed.

 

[matt29707]

Fastest I've seen so far is 35mb/s down and about 5mb/s up using speakeasy speed test on my browser.

 

[RumbleMan24]

every time i use any of the speed tests, it thinks the phone is in kansas while i'm in charlotte, now the weather on the main screen is right and using the maps also is right, why does speedtest.net ,both the app and launched from browser think i'm in kansas

Lol

 

[WormDoes]

Heard the iPhone 5 was pushed back until the end of the year at the earliest so LTE for Android loving Americans only

are you sure it's not just providing you with the location of the server from which your speedtest is being accessed with its data?

for instance, i pull from Atlanta (on speakeasy.net/speedtest)

go to speakeasy.net/speedtest and click on Atlanta (from a list of several other locations)

 

[RumbleMan24]

no i can pull from different servers but on the map thing it always has the phone in kansas and when i pull from charlotte server on speedtest.net i dont get near what some people have i mean way off, websites still load fast as fast as my home computer but i'm thinking that maybe it could be even faster, cause i see people on here from charlotte getting 30 or 40 and anytime i do it i get like 5 to 15 when i'm in the university area
i hope its not an issue from activating the phone here when i have a jersey number

Here is a quick screenshot of Thunderbolt when tethered to my laptop. Seen 6+MB/s before, but not today. 5.5MB/s sustained aint bad either

 

[Transdgtl]

I've haven't gotten less than 6Mbps, and I've averaged around 10! This blows my Atrix away with network speeds.

What are you using to tether?

 

[milan03]

What are you using to tether?

MacBook Pro, Internet Connection Mode on Windows 7 partition. USB tether.
Here is a small video I made: YouTube - HTC Thunderbolt Tethered 50mbit Speedtest LTE 4G

Try to make sense when you post.

 

[milan03]

When you get 50mbps in your pocket I guess it's not hard to break 30GB in 2 weeks. Damn we all should be glad to have unlimited data.

I wasn't even trying to go crazy on data.
