No, my usage is 650mb/2GB. He weird thing is the speed is fine when im out of my neighborhood about 1-2miles. Maybe something goes wrong with their tower at my neighborhood.

Same thing is happening in my area as well. (Chicago western suburbs / Schaumburg, IL)
I have both a contracted 4g and a prepaid 4g T-Mobile plans and as of the past couple of weeks data speeds have dropped to Sprint speeds ( 0.38Mbps / 0.01Mbps) while using HSPA.
When I was getting at the same location ( 19.30 Mbps / 1.70 Mbps).
Verizon's LTE is looking pretty darn good right about now, I may end up closing these 2 Tmobile accts real soon if they can't get this straightend out quickly.
It probably has something to do with T-Mobile refarming the bands / towers over to the 1900Mhz freq.

Recently where I work, we had a meeting with Sprint network engineers and corporate Sprint sales people and I asked them when we should expect LTE to be in our area (West Texas more specifically Abilene, TX)
The engineer said that we should get LTE here in late 2013, third or fourth quarter
In translation to me, that means early to mid 2014! HAHA
I can't wait, I gave up a 4G phone to hop to the S III with LTE radio to be ready for it

Your LTE experience may well improve after applying the LG8 update. It includes an important fix to the logic governing when the handset will connect and/or disconnect from an LTE tower. You and all the others trying to test LTE service in the newly "launched" LTE markets need to understand this. In several scattered but related threads in this forum, it is apparent that the commenters reporting their LTE experience are mostly ignorant.
Users in places such as San Antonio, Houston, DFW, Atlanta, etc. who are trying LTE with this phone have faced two problems:
The markets were officially "launched" July 15 with only a small fraction of their towers ready for LTE, although work continues on the build-out.
The new LTE handsets, including the GS3, needed OTA fixes to change the signal-strength threshold governing LTE connections. Without the fix, phones can only get or hold an LTE connection that is quite strong.
The second factor just multiplies the damage caused by the first.
I have tested my GS3 in a city that has its LTE network substantially built-out (Waco). Before applying the LG8 update, even where the LTE signal was very strong, the phone did not connect. After the update, I found LTE service all over town.
p.s. If you really want to understand and track the LTE rollout, go to S4GRU.com, which focuses on this matter exclusively and knowledgeably.

So i was walking along the road and then when i looked at my phone i saw a H above my signal bar and i screenshotted it. It switched between H and E, then 3g also appeared, but i couldnt get a shot of it because it disappeared quickly.
so now im wondering is 3g/hsdpa possible on a lg nitro using a tmobile sim because when i look around the forums people said only edge is available.
It's possible that you were roaming onto the AT&T network due to getting no T-Mobile signal for a brief period of time. The phone won't be able to get 3G on T-Mobile's network though.
It works!

That has to be why. The Nitro definitely doesnt support AWS bands for 3G/4G.
Just wanted to issue in case anyone wanted to save some money. I live in Kansas city and just started Wal-Mart family mobile service and I am getting 3g and hspa signal on my unlocked att p930. That being said, it does look like the data speed itself is throttled to 1mb/s up and down. I'm wondering if it's possible to change that by messing with the apn...

You definitley were in an area with 1900 band being utilized. It's been rolling out around Annapolis MD and Alexandria VA areas. Love it!

Yes it appears that it's deployed throughout Kansas city and even about an 80 mile plus radius of the city. My device picks it up but family mobile have the speeds throttled down to .9mbps up/down no matter what. Very frustrating seeing the H symbol and not being able to break 1mbps anyone have any ideas?

Here's some news. Talked to a tech today for awhile resolving an account issue. During our conversation I asked about deployment plans. Here is the top five things they said they're doing:
1. Rolling out LTE upgrades to current 4g towers. Which may cause temporary service loss of data.
2. Upgrading all towers along the interstate system in their current footprint to hspa and to LTE in larger cities with 4g already deployed.
3. LTE will roll out in large cities with 4g first that have completed upgrades.
4. Metropcs lte towers may be given greenlight for us to roam on until the switchover (which is contrary to previous statements)
5. Acquire more 1900mhz and AWS spectrum for more buildouts of hspa and LTE.
They're also looking at possibly doing unlimited data with tether soon. But no word on pricing or availability.

If the phone can support Band 4 LTE (which I do not think AT&T uses for their LTE), it can support it.
These threads seem silly, because what tech and care know is far from the truth. Also to whoever thinks that you don't need a update for lte, you are most certainly wrong. We just got LTE installed on the towers on our building and it is not working on my note. But other notes in the building we have for testing have LTE up and running just fine. Unfortunately these notes were sent already put together, so whether it was a update or a sim card is hard to tell because I haven't got hands on time alone with them yet. Another possible solution is a provision, through one of tmobiles systems for troubleshooting I have seen lte settings for a phone line specifically but wouldn't have the information to properly set it up.

I lol'ed at the your description of how Sprint's service sucks...especially since I generally agree. But down here in Dallas, I get pretty great LTE coverage. I think because we were one of the first markets to launch LTE. In some places in town I get 30MB+ download speed so I cant complain. But in the outskirts of town and suburbs...it isnt nearly that good but I'll still usually be able to connect to LTE.

I flashed a stock rom to get the updated PRL. Looks good. What's different about it?
Also, I get pretty decent 4G coverage in Houston, Texas with Sprint, even out to the suburbs on the north side. It's not nearly as fast as the service I had with verizon, though, but it is at least consistent.
Once you get past the city limits on the east or south, though, both 3G and 4G get iffy.
I have awsome Sprint Airave coverage at home.
I hope someone makes a app like RoamControl that works with our Optimus G so my phone will work outside of my house.
