Speeds like this speak for the self. Verizon possibly could hit 60 down on LTE in a non populated area but no way could they ever get 12 down on their pathetic 3G. Haha

Why would I care what my 3G speeds are when Verizon's LTE network is finished mid-2013? Just saying.
 
ValerieDurden- I see the one speedtest beat your friends Verizon's but let's be real /sprint speeds are normally subpar and they have fewer customers and probably even less customers with LTE devices.

Sprint is so terrible I must admit, I beat my friend on Verizon every single time. This was best out of 10 using the same server one phone at a time, we also get the same coverage inside of buildings isn't that crazy? granted it's only two bars of service for the both of us but it keeps the testing equal as LTE is greatly effected by signal strength.

:D

Difference is that Verizon has LTE pretty much everywhere while Sprint has only around 100 markets (even less markets than T-Mobile) which is pathetic. To make matters worse many of Sprint's LTE markets are small towns that they rolled out just to up their number, leaving many major markets incomplete.

Also peak speeds are higher since Verizon has 10x LTE while Sprint is limited to 5mhz.

Sprint just doesn't compare with Verizon or AT&T in most places. They're even inferior to T-Mobile except in a few rural areas. Easily the worst carrier in the US.
 
Never have had any complaints about AT&T, especially in Texas.

This isn't the best speed test I've ever had, just one I happened to screen cap to send a friend.
