Help What's up with my awful download speeds? Less than 1 down and less than 1 up?

You have to do the test and post the screen shot . also you have T-Mobile and live in the south east part of america . places such as Florida Texas etc.

I don't think I have any apps on my SD card, so I would guess my device
edit : apps on my sd card are Facebook Messenger, Snapchat, Speedtest, and Twitch

Not rooted, and it's been going on for probably close to a year ... I've called ATT a million times about it and they claim im in a low 4g lte coverage area ... if that's the case why do I have 3+ bars at all times? Even if that were true, these speeds are just unacceptable.
I've tried getting a new sim card, still to no avail.

It is many areas without 4g as we speak . they are try and working with carriers around the clock to provide this . most of these problems are from towers needing updated materials . are you in a low line area such as a cut or small town or area outside a city . having 3bars is proof but how is the battery . do you have a WiFi

I'm in a semi small city, population is probably 50,000 or so. I am 5 minutes from Lexington which has a population of probably 1 million +
Even with me being in a smaller city, I will not accept getting these speeds. I mean 56k gets better speeds than this, that is just outrageous!

Now when you goto the city or the big area does these speeds pick up or stay the same . when you use the WiFi do they increase or stay the same . such as in my area I decrease when I am at home but when out shopping in the city or going to work it increase to better than at home . I use that app get 4 good ones in the city and compare to where you live. Another thing at&t and other carriers tell you when you call nothing is wrong or if towers is down all the time 
they don't know and if you take the time you can catch them in the lie they tell such as power outages or powerful storms . this is cause your paying for service if they credit you and others they will be out a company .

Do you have a WiFi at your home . if so try to see if the device improve on WiFi . it may just be that your carrier don't have enough towers .

I don't see the map. Just the legend. So what if I bought some phone that could only do 3g? I'm using my phone as my form of internet for the next 4 days because the house I bought doesn't close until Friday and the cable company shut my service off early and already put it there ... moronic. I told them the date and they did it early.
What 3g phones are capable of tethering?
Is there no wya I can just turn LTE off and only use 4g?

Its not the phone its the area and towers. Now one question about the phone would be what software version you have I think 4.1 is current
