Recently I have been experiencing terrible data speeds on 4G LTE service on my Galaxy Note 3. I performed several speed tests and the speeds I get range anywhere from 1.48Mbps down and 0.18 up, down to 0.09Mbps down and 0.01 up!
These speeds are absurdly, and unacceptably slow.
I have done both a hard, and soft reset, removed and re-seated my SIM card. Global roaming is on, global mode is enabled. Currently my signal strength is -112 dBm 28 asu.
The poor data service is causing my phone to constantly be trying to communicate to transmit data and is burning through battery.
While typing this I ran side-by-side speed tests on my work AT&T s5 and it pulled 10.25Mbps down and 9.10Mbps up, while my Note 3 snoozed at 0.07Mbps down and 0.02Mbps up.
I've been with VZW for 5+ years now and this is a new phenomenon which if not fixed will cause me to leave for a provider with better data speeds.
