Those are decent speeds on 4G/HSPA plus.

Why do people get caught into speed test results? If you're iPhone 5 performs decently then enjoy your iPhone.[/QUOTE]

its decent for 4G.. but i never got LTE speed, comparing to others who have better speed.

More speed tests on VZ LTE in SoCal.

Van Nuys, CA
Van Nuys Blvd & Victory Blvd
13.01 Mbps / 18.78 Mbps, 47 ms ping

Alhambra, CA
Garfield Ave & Valley Ave
17.25 Mbps / 12.98 Mbps, 48 ms ping

Now if only I could get my nano sim for AT&T iPhone 5 activated, then I can do head to head tests, VZ vs AT&T iPhone 5 LTE coverage.

Looks pretty decent in Manhatten however how's data in prime time? I'm not so in interested in speeds but does your iPhone perform decently in prime time/s?

I've been on wifi at work mostly as of right now. That Midtown test was on LTE around 3:30 while I was walking out on Lexington Ave. around 45-46th Streets.

I'll be interested to see how it performs when I walk through Times Square, etc. Peak + High Traffic = ???

We shall see...it's just summoning the desire to walk through TS during a peak time is what the toughest part is right now.

I've had my iPhone since friday on AT&T and have yet picked up ANY LTE signal in Houston on my 5, this is seriously BS. 4th Largest city in the nation and I'm supposed to believe that LTE isn't available, I'm close to taking this thing back..

I live 2 miles from the Galleria, have been downtown, Bellaire, and west houston. No LTE signal, have been on the phone with AT&T for the last hour, they say coverage is more than adequate within a 30 mile radius of my home address and they can't figure out why I dont have LTE. I even exchanged my iPhone today because of wifi issues, wifi issues are gone, but still no LTE, I'm pretty disappointed as of now.

Man, that's weird. I'm on the fence whether to stick with ATT when I get the 5 or early terminate and go with Verizon. Your experience is not boosting my confidence in ATT!

Dont know how to cut from phone to thread, but LTE is at MSP airport, and not rest of city yet. 1 mile out from airport, dwnld was 4.66 on 4g, 1.34 up. Picking up boss, saw LTE and ran another test. 46.10 mbps down, 19.89 up. I'm going to enjoy when they roll out to the rest of the Twin Cities.

Just got my iPhone 5 today and AT&T LTE is 6.75/4.95 in Miami, FL

Just 8 inches away the iPad 3 on Verizon's LTE, that was getting 30/15 before the iPhone 5 release is now at 3/2.

After spending an hour or so on the phone with AT&T they finally got me an LTE signal, I'll post a speedtest soon. I'll be sure to get one around Memorial City mall and further out west as well.

That would be great. I actually live very close to Mem City and work out in Katy. Thanks.
