4g is slower after outage

[widssss]

Using Speedtest before the 4g outage my new Thunderbolt was consistently showing 30 down / 30 up speeds. In my opinion those are huge numbers and one of the reasons I bought a 4g phone.  Since getting service back a few days ago my speeds have decreased to the point of being a glorified 3g phone. After many runs of Speedtest over three days , the highest numbers so far have been 11 down / 2 up.  The average bandwidth is much lower than that, about 6 down / 1 up.  I know there's going to be growing pains, and all of the problems related to more people connected to 4g , etc. But the decrease in the network speeds is huge, if it's caused by increased traffic from the small number of people currently using verizon 4g then I can't imagine how slow things will be in another month or two. BTW , I just ran another test and the upload speed was 500 kbps. , just a mere 60 times slower than last weeks speed.
