Highest 4G LTE Speed

That's why South Dakota 4G is best 4G. Low population density, and brand spankin' new tower equipment. They just added 4G to my college town of 5,000. A breath of fresh air considering you barely got 300 kbps with GOOD signal on 3G.

That's surprising cause Minnesota 4G kinda of sucks. Alot of times I get around 6mbps (both in Duluth and Saint Cloud). Although it's improved alot in the last few months, it's still usually around 15mbps. Granted, that's in all honesty that is plenty of bandwidth, especially for a mobile connection. And I'd much rather have a consistent 15mbps connection on a larger coverage area than 40mbps that only covers the block around the tower.

But all things being equal, I want one of those really fast 4G connections.

Yeah 15-20 is more typical but you hit 30-40 every so often. Apparently that's better than people in more populated cities get. So I'm not complaining.

Found some interesting info by doing a SpeedTest.

FIOS- 16.6 D, 14.4 U (Desktop)
FIOS - 24.4 D, 14.9 U (Bionic WiFi)
LTE- 21 D, 14 U

Funny how Chrome is faster on my phone than my desktop and my desktop isn't the slowest thing in the world. Could just be the drivers associated to my WiFi need to be updated.
