Check the market for the updated version of the Speedtest.net app. Supposedly it can actually test the 4G LTE speed correctly now. http://community.vzw.com/t5/image/gallerypage/user-id/75820/image-id/2838i68F5961E77780513
15.29mbps down and 5.4 up.....seems much more believeable than 28 up....lol. they must've got it fixed.
Looks like I'll finally get to taste the LTE goodness Thursday one way or another. Hoping it goes live in Raleigh on Thursday along with the others but if not, I'm gonna have to make a trip to my parent's house in Wilmington since it's already been confirmed. lol
gonna give it a go tomorrow afternoon on that newly minted LTE network in Wilmington, NC.
Looks like they've updated the online coverage maps to show the new lte areas. My parents live a mile or so from the extended coverage area.
Here are the results from the Tampa, Florida region...
Using 4G (in Mbps):
Run# Download Upload
Run 1: 15.7 3.6
Run 2: 12.3 3.5
Run 3: 4.9 1.7 (only 1 bar on my phone during this run)
Run 4: 11.1 3.4
Run 5: 10.0 3.7
With the exception of Run 3, all runs were made with 2 to 3 bars on the signal strength.
Nice!
Using 3G (in Mbps):
Run 1: 0.322 0.641
Run 2: 0.356 0.267
Run 3: 0.315 0.323
Who's got time to try 5 test runs at 3G speeds! Not so nice!
Welp...definitely no LTE at my parents house. All I get is this:
Good news is that I get LTE where my cousin plays baseball but I'm going to call **bleep** on Verizon's coverage map. LTE all the way down Highway 17 my foot. 3G test
LTE test at the same location.
houston is nice
Nice. The area I was in last night was about 15 miles south of wilmington so think I'll actually head into town today and see what kind of numbers I get.
can you only post these screenshots if you've done things to the OS??? or is there an app yet that i can use to take screenshots (my tbolt is not modified in any way)?
