To throw in my $0.02, I tested the signal with the .02 radio and the new .04 radio. my signal at home has always been -93 dbm downstairs, with a rare exception of a -100 dbm bounce, then immediately returning to -93 dbm. The new .04 radio also shows -93 dbm, and while staring at it, I saw a -83 dbm bounce, then it immediately returned to -93 dbm.
At work, I've always had -120 dbm on 3G and it routinely bounces to 1x on the .02 radio. With the new .04 radio, I still have -120 dbm on 3G, but so far, no bounce to 1x. I will continue to monitor and will edit this post if something changes.
I tried the 4G radio at my house (I get 4G outside, but not inside), and I saw no connection, which is typical.
Also, as someone else mentioned, the 3G to 4G transition (assuming you are in a 4G area) is instantaneous - the 4G to 3G transition is still a good 5-10 second delay. Ridiculous.
*edit* checked an additional location at work where I have consistently lost connection entirely; it would usually drop to 1x or no signal, and texts were usually not sent. I had -120 dbm the entire time, sent a text, and even logged onto this site to post up.
