I'm getting great speeds and haven't been getting the signal issues others have.

Edit: that's not max though, I've gotten into the 50-60 range in good days.

In my apartment 30 minutes north of Charlotte, 15 down, 5 up. Haven't explored more.

That's compared to 0.5 up and down on 3G. Also happens to be faster than my Wifi.

 

[Needsdecaf]

Max i've ever seen is 9 down and about 4 up on 4G. This, less than 10 miles west of Washington DC in one of the most congested areas of the country. A joke for my first 4G phone.

 

[cabraswell]

Best I've seen is 31 down and 17 up in Fletcher, NC. I'm very pleased with that. Makes my wifi look like a joke.

 

[val88]

In san francisco
27 down
8.5 up

I can deal with occasional 4G issues to get that kind of speed.

 

[locoandroid]

@ Tampa Bay area: Up was 5 / Down was 27
@ Sarasota : Up 9 / Down 9
Both test were at 3 bars

 

[Dubbin1]

No complaints here

i get I average about 15-20mb down and always get about 10mb up!..The upload speeds are what suprise me, rock solid at least 10mb all the time.

I would say 30% of the speed test i have down have also had the download speeds between 28-32mb down!

Have you had other 4G Verizon phones tested in your area? You did mention yourself that it's a highly congested area, and that is actually claimed speeds from Verizon in such capacity. Just because many areas of lower populations have higher speeds, doesn't mean they'll stay that high as more and more people get on. It could simply be a congestion issue causing that speed you're seeing, unless other people are seeing much higher numbers in which case, might wanna have it checked out.

I'm about 25 minutes north of Charlotte, NC. I can get around 27 down and 15 up. I have hit as high as 36 down and 22 up.

 

[Fakethriller]

This is on 2 bar 4G:

Absolute heaven!

 

[fam]

Here's my best from Sylvania (toledo)...though honestly not very useful to me yet as it cuts from no bar 4g to a weak 3g at my house when before it was a solid 3g with me droidx....

21 down 12 up with 3 bars of 4g

Yup N.VA is crowded although i will say as soon as I get to Downtown SP My speeds drop to 15DL and 5Ul, with full bars and being right by a huge orange Verizon tower so yea kind of puzzling!

What more do you want? What do you do on a phone where you need more? Play xbox live? Even then that should be good enough. That is about what I'm getting and my phone is super fast. I was actually quite suprise at the speeds I get than saw the stupid crazy fast speeds others get. I'm averaging 12 down 6 up right now. 1-3 bars. I have yet to see 4. Fayetteville/Raleigh.

 

[Mikey P]

Best on this phone I've gotten has been about 15 up 12 down and that was just now...usually around 8 up 10 down.

N. Charleston, SC

Here is what I'm seeing in Manhattan, NY: 65mbps SpeedTest Verizon Galaxy Nexus LTE - YouTube

Also here are some peak speeds screenshots:

I don't think I could squeeze anything extra out of a single Verizon LTE sector and it's 73.6mbps theoretical downlink lol

 

[budmonster]

Wow you guys are getting great 4G speeds! I'm stuck with this:

This can't be normal for my area (Pittsburgh). I need to see how the Rezound's 4G is, going to try and go up to a VZW store after the holidays and compare 4G speeds on each phone. I really dont want to change phones but this is killing me.

 

[VGPOP]

According to the verizon website, this area is covered under LTE. I purchased my girlfriend the Verizon Galaxy Nexus but it doesnt recognize the LTE.

Is there a way to turn "on" LTE?

I go to SETTINGS, Wireless & Networks, MORE, and under Mobile Networks, the Network Mode is has LTE/CDMA selected.

Anyone?

It just gets better and better:

Dude where exactly in NYC are you seeing those speeds. Every time I'm in Manhattan, the BEST I get is 15Mbps or so. Care to share the general area that you managed this, so I could test my own phone? Its amazing that not only are the numbers so high, but they were pretty consistent.

Sure, it's all over Upper West Side. They have tons of microcells all over local shops, restaurants, etc... Lots of pre existent dark fiber there.

Any street numbers? I'll def try to make my way up there and try to replicate these #'s.

 

[milan03]

Around 72nd street, but really anywhere on broadway and columbus.
