Huge drop in 4G LTE speed this month in 10940
temperedmettle

I noticed this sudden drop in speed early this month. Anybody else in the area experiencing this?

I used to get 11-16Mbps download and 1-4Mbps upload speeds last month and even higher speeds before that.

Now, I'm consistently seeing speeds of 0.07-1Mbps download and 0.04-1Mbps upload in my area while using LTE.

I don't remember any recent changes to my iPhone except installing carrier settings update 19.1

Hello temperedmettle,


That's quite a large drop in network speed! I can certainly see why you would be concerned. What zip code are you in? Which make & model iPhone do you have? Finally, are you experiencing issues everywhere you go, or in a specific location? Please provide some additional details, and we can work together to ensure this is resolved.

Zip code is 10940. I'm using an iphone 6 plus. I notice that my speed increases only slightly (1-2 Mbps download) when I'm in another area (10941). Hope this helps.

temperedmettle,


I want to make sure we get you back on track. Let's take a closer to get this resolved  How far do you have to travel for the service to improve? Are you having the issue indoors or outdoors?

I was about 4 miles out when I noticed the slight improvement. Had the issue both indoors and outdoors.

I checked today and I'm now getting 11-20 MBps download and 1-2 MBps upload speeds which is a LOT better.

Thank you very much for your help! Should I expect to see about the same speeds going forward?

Checked outdoors a few times this afternoon and I'm getting about 0.3Mbps down and 0.7Mbps up.

Thank you for the update.  Do you know if other Verizon customers are having the same issue?  Have there been any recent changes to your device?

My wife's LTE speed on her iPhone 5s is similar to mine - slows down in our area, speeds up if we move about 5 miles away. No change in my device except a carrier settings update (19.1).
