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!

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

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.

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.

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.

Kind of a stupid topic but thought I would ask. Has anyone else in the Thornhill/Vaughan area noticed much stronger HSPA/3G signal strength?
In my entertainment room in the basement I used to get NO HSPA/3G signal and always switched to Edge (2G) so I can make and receive phone calls. I would also get about 1-2 bars in 2G (Edge). Today however I noticed that I got full bars HSPA/3G and they stay full. I thought it was a bug and noticed my iPhone also had full bars.
So anyone else or am I just bugging out?

You can use something like Open Signal Maps to see the towers around. They probably just put up a new one near your house...

I have no idea but I'm getting nearly 7000mbps in my basement lol.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
7000Mb/s or 7000MB/s?
Anyway, regardless of units, you seem to have a super internet connection using HSPA+/HSPA
My guess is 7Mb/s.
So I'm switching over from the T-Mobile G2x and I'm getting the Galaxy Nexus from the play store next week, and I wanna know how good is T-Mobile on this phone like the signal strength? Which HSPA+ do we get 21 or 42? Just wanna make sure it works with T-Mobile.

Oh it works and its only 21 but not like bit matters no one comes close and signal strength is crap in my house it struggles to get one bar where the s2 got two or three. But service is good nonetheless

I had a g2x. The nexus gets better service than it did across the board, but my SGS4G got a little better data speeds (its also a 21hspa+ device) whereas the nexus does better on cell service.

H is "4g". It should show 3g until its actually actively transferring data then switch to H.

He should root and test different radios. Is his provider tmobile and do your folks live in the sticks? If so that is your problem. Think of att and tmobile as am and FM radio. AM is generally poor quality with a large area of coverage vs. FM with a short radius but excellent quality.

No they are on Sprint, but my buddy thats a tech is just gonna switch it out for a ltevo, which I had and got perfect coverage
