I thought I was pretty clear about what I was talking about???
However, this is what I woke up to today:
Still short of VZW promises but better than 10 times what I've seen in a week (if connected at all). Maybe thinkgs are looking up.
Fingers crossed!
As other responders mentioned, your numbers are in the ballpark. But I understand your frustration.
Now for a few technical tidbits (i prefer vodka to koolaid 
). Despite the marketing hype, no providers in the USA are offerring true 4G. LTE is not really 4G as defined by the ITU. You can call it 3.x G, with x being whatever you want. Here's the reason. The ITU has considered operation by the level of "mobility". If you are walking or sitting in your office, you should get higher speeds. If you are driving or on a 160 kph train, your average datarates will likely drop.
LTE and other pre-4G standards do not provide a 4G service level when you are not moving. If you want that level today, you need a fixed broadband solution which most businesses use. For the biz traveller, it's no different than in the past, just a lot better. Don't expect a uniform experience everywhere , all the time. Verizon's offering is a step along the way.
A lot of complaints are, of course, Verizon's fault. First, they hyped their product, we did not. They created the expectation of ultra-fast, uniform service everywhere, all the time. They deserve to have irate customers bugging them. They set themselves up for this. But that is the way things are marketed in the USA - and Americans fall for it. Big b00b$ get press.... I hope this helps a bit.
