All of the sudden in the last day or two my phone is having a real hard time connecting to anything other than E. Some times it'll pick up LTE if I turn airplane mode on and off, and it's altogether failing to find 4G.

Service in this town is bad enough as it is.

Things were working just fine for several weeks prior, not sure what changed.

Will try resetting things. Cash in if you've seen a similar problem.

I've been getting ridiculously low LTE speeds with T-Mobile in Los Angeles. During the day it can range from 0.5 Mbps to 2. At midnight it'll go as high as 18 Mbps. Not sure where you are, but maybe try at a low traffic hour and see if there's a speed difference.

If not, I had success by restoring the phone by backing up, erase all data on phone, SET UP as new without upgrading, update carrier setting, THEN restore backup from iTunes. This solved my problem with speed stuck on 0.5 Mbps no matter the hour.
