Has anybody ever done a comparison using the speedtest app of Verizon vs AT&T LTE speeds?

At an AT&T store around me they have an app called speed test and it gets 10 M/B per second.

I was at the apple store and an Apple employee took out his iPhone 5 with Verizon and was getting 20 M/B per second.

Does this sound about right? So Verizon is twice as fast as AT&T

It depends on location, congestion on the tower, and how many are using the testing server. A lot things can affect speed. I have gotten 35-40 M/B down and 12-15 M/B up on AT&T. Other times it has been slower, i.e. 15-25 M/B down, etc...
