4G speeds in Watford City, ND are deplorable

Correct Answer!

I am stuck in a hotel and I am currently experiencing speeds of around 100kbps!!!

Why am I seeing "4G" connected on my Galaxy S3, while getting such terrible speeds?

The hotel DSL is garbage, and now my Galaxy is like trading sandpaper for TP with a Brillo pad.

I can get over 5Mbps in other 4G areas, but oh no, not where I really need it while I'm trying to work for a living.

Correct Answer!

The backhaul and the tower capacity might not be large enough to handle the influx of people recently coming into that area.

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.
