[Q] 4G LTE Speeds - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

What speeds are you getting on your 4G LTE Galaxy Nexus? I've seen some pretty amazing speeds posted from other users and I'm feeling a little shafted with the speeds I've been getting.
Is there a speed range Verizon has been advertising for 4G?

Funny I ran across your post. I had very limited experience with a Verizon GN at at their store and the speeds were very similar to what you show. I am on Miami and was hoping this was because of network congestion or something.. Compared to the amazing results everyone else's posts around the country.

Here is my results from fort worth tx

You're lucky. I called Verizon regarding this and they said that they don't guarantee any speeds. They did put in a ticket with the network team who got back to me tonight and said that I'm too far away from the tower and I need to wait for them to expand their network.

Here's my results from various locations around the SF Bay Area.

What city your Nexus LTE is dropping / switching often ?

Alright, as you may know some of the users are having network drops or switching way to often. So let's get all together and figure what areas are bad where you are having issues. I would be glad to bring all the data collected here and bring it up to a tier 3 in Verizon. I'm a register tester and I can give them my point of view. As stated on other sites, maybe other devices are giving wrong bars feed. It's worth a try. I will also make another thread for who is fine. Thanks.

Dude 20 mbps is no joke. I just came to verizon and I posted about flacky data but at times it can be insane as you see above. I'm really happy so far and will be patient until they work out the bugs

Then don't pay any attention to it and move on as you read. That's why its in the general section. If its not your topic then move on as you read. I hate when people take time just to be a smart ass!

Be Grateful you don't live in the UK, Best I had was about 5MB up/down!
Complain about it! Your paying top dollar for service so you should get what your paying for! Verizon will listen if enough complain

You want to see insane LTE speeds, my friend sent this to me.
On the University of Illinois campus at midnight:
In the same city, the best I've gotten was about 13/3 on my HSPA model on T-Mobile.
Yes that's insane speeds. I hope they can make them consistent one day

I got 30mbps in Irvine.
I typically average around 20+Mbps but ironically enough, I ran a Speed Test at the Apple campus and got 42Mbps. LTE iPhone 5 testing?

Has anyone purchased the Wilson Sleek 4G-V Verizon LTE booster?

I saw that the Verizon LTE booster from Wilson Electronics is finally being sold, the Sleek 4G-V, and was wondering if anyone has tried it and could provide feedback. Thanks!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I have purchased it and have been using it inside my room. Normally the signal will jump to 3g with 1bar and 4g has been very spotty at my house. The signal booster allows my nexus to lock on to 4g at about - 101dbm and speedtest does about 2.5~4.5mb/s now. Without the booster, it will drop to 3g and do about 0.20~0.5mb/s at 1 bar of signal. It does its job and is well worth the investment if you are in a bad reception area.
I need to get something like that

Oh yeah, you are right! Haha, I need to watch those movies again.
These were the other day. I'm in the southwest suburbs of Chicago, and its been polling up all over. The speeds vary in different locations, but I haven't seen anything really bad yet. And its not even "officially" on yet.

Honestly, my speeds with big red weren't really that far off. I've very seldom gotten over 30 down and 10 up w Verizon. They're about the same as far as the speeds I've seen. Its the coverage that's scketchy.

Carrier pigeon is faster than Sprint 3g, so it doesn't take much.
But yeah. Those are pretty good speeds. Glad to see Sprint picking up their game.

i'm trying to locate a good place to buy Sprint Nexus off-contract, mint-condition used or new to use on Sprint network without signing/extending contact. i currently have gt-i9250 on t-mobile, while my friend has htc evo on sprint, i wanna switch him over to nexus experience without singing another 2 year contract.
Anyone knows a good place in Boston/Mass/NH or online where i can buy SPH-L700?!
Thank you in advance
and sorry for not creating separate thread.
Not to be a downer, but when I got the TBolt (First Verizon 4G Lte phone) my speeds were constantly 35+ Mbps everywhere I went. Now that everyone and their mother has a 4G phone I am lucky to get about 10 - 15Mbps in most places. Saturation is a killer.

Let's share our data speeds

I just switched from Sprint and I have to say that I'm extremely impressed. I'm in Canton, Ohio and Tmobile is faster then both Sprint and Verizon.

Same here! I just switched as well, data speeds are anywhere from 10-100x faster than Sprint. Seriously don't know why I put up with Sprint for so long...
Anyway, good to see you over here. My last phone was a Sprint Epic, so I remember you from those boards. Even used your ROM exclusively for a long time

I was assume it could be multiple things. Buildings in your area, interference, and the amount of ppl using T-Mobile in your area can all cause you to get less than expected speeds.
Sprint vs Tmob

Hi ptf, I have the Note II on Sprint and am about to go return it and switch to TMob, are you happy you did? I am only worried about differences in the phone (if there are any negatives) and of course coverage and speeds.
I love that Tmob is GSM since I do travel int. And I can get a small bus plan so my bill is only $50/month compared to $70 w Sprint.
I just replied to you in the Sprint forum
