North of Detroit, I've gotten a low of 6 down, 3 up when I only had 2 bars. At my house with 5 bars I'm getting 12 down, 15 up.

I'm on VZ LTE, just outside of Chicago.

I'm going into Apple tomorrow. Look at my speeds - something is wrong.. no?

And I was excited about getting VZ LTE when my Sprint contract expires in December. I'm 25 miles SSW of Chicago, and my useless Sprint Wimax usually gets better speeds than that. I hope it's just something wrong with your phone, and that you get it resolved quickly (nothing personal, of course).

I'm in Beaverton/Tigard, Oregon. I've only tested once so far and my speed was 29.63 Down, 9 Up. On my iPad, I've had several times when my down speed was over 50. I still have a hard time fathoming speed that is faster than my cable internet speed, which is usually 25 or so.

I'm in Orland Park. I already have a genius bar appointment tomorrow afternoon. I'm just going to go in & say "Here are my results on VZ LTE and I'm 100% certain these should be significantly higher. What is the resolution?"

Verizon is not that fast in your area it seems.

Orland Park (SW Burb of Chicago) is about 20 or so miles from downtown Chicago. It has a population of about 70K. There would be zero reason why VZ LTE shouldn't be showing much better results here.

I'll post again from downtown...maybe the suburbs aren't as blanketed. Doesn't really matter what LTE is at home since I have 50mbps Fios anyway

Verizon, Raleigh nc.
Has tested as low as 2 Mbps. A high of 7.
When I first got my thunderbolt, I was getting 14. Lately 7, but the thunderbolt wasn't working reliably any more.

I'm generally amazed at how slow the speeds are I'm getting.

Yea. I'm in Orland too. I will be following along to see how it is resolved for you. I have been looking forward to getting Verizon for almost a year. I have 3.5 months left until my stupid Sprint contract is done. I hope that these are not the speeds that I have to look forward to.
