I agree, having the faster speed will make a noticeable difference. If it didn't then why would carriers spends millions to upgrade their network to LTE Advanced, etc. The servers that serve the apps\content can without a doubt saturate the connection, I have downloaded files at 330Mb/s from Apple, YouTube, Netflix, etc. from my home connection. My Cellphone Carrier also has fast speeds, and can download things extremely fast, which makes a noticeable difference.

Any of you in Orlando, FL? I've had AT&T since the iPhone 3G and when I first used LTE on an iPhone 5S I'd see in the 18-25mbps range. Traded up to an SE weeks ago and still have yet to break 15mbps in Orlando (usually average 8-11mbps)...and I don't mean standing in Disney World where there's a zillion people! Is AT&T's network in Orlando just that bad? I use the Mark The Spot app all the time to let them know when I lose data or it's slow but now change in years. Can I take an unlocked SE to any carrier?
I'm seeing 32Mbps down and 18Mbps up.
I'm also on ATT - kind of disheartening to see others with faster LTE speeds, but (not trying to sound like sour grapes), my usage habits probably won't take advantage of the faster speeds. (email, messenger, music)

On Vodafone UK using an iPhone 6s Plus and the max. I've seen is around 70 meg down and 20 up.
Waiting for them to roll out CA-hope it'll lead to faster speeds on par with EE

Telstra network in Brisbane Australia
Nice! What do your data plans look like down there?

Wow, Im in Northwest District of Columbia and I thought 80Mbps was fast (AT&T 6S+ Max Up/down: 80.66/17.56).
And since I have excellent Comcast Blast at home.... I always use LTE.
Thank goodness for unlimited data... especially when Im not just streaming stuff at 10Mbps...
That is LTE, outside of North America iPhones show LTE as 4G.
I pay extra for being on that network, about $95 a month unlimited calls texts and 7.5 gig a month
When EE launched here in the UK with iPhone 5 it used to say LTE.
Can't remember how long it was there for but by the time the iPhone 5s launched it'd been changed to 4G.
Best I've seen is about 40 down and 20 up. I don't understand this strange back and forth some are having over speeds though. 40 is plenty for now (I've streamed video just fine in as low as 5...). If that becomes a problem I go with someone who can offer better. I could have 200 down and wouldn't know until I manually decided to check, and that's the honest to god truth.
so much speeeedd....... 
is verizon LTE with the hspa/evdo whichever they use 10GB plan, and i was actually only about 50feet from the tower, their disguised tower is in same center where i work, was ran on iphone 6s+ MKWC2LL/A TMSC chip software 9.3.1 13E238

This is the "fastest LTE" speed thread, if that's the fastest speed you've ever seen then you should change carriers lolso much speeeedd.......

Anyone notice that (at least for iOS) if you drag the speedometer down in the Speedtest.Net app, it gives you a cat meme?
Edit: it's a cat story, running a speedtest restarts it, once you are done keep pulling until another image comes up.

sad part is that it is just about best i can get, just took another one and its even lower probably cause mid day now, also i'm kind stuck using verizon atm so ohwell

Jeez, I thought it was bad that Sprint only had 2 Mbps down with 2 bars. I haven't tested mine on full LTE signal yet, but I'd opt for my Wi-Fi at home where I get ~310 Mbps.
This was on T-Mobile. Crazy because the fastest I ever got on Wi-Fi was 65.04↓ 4.22↑.
Not that 4.22Mbps was the fastest upload speed I ever got on Wi-Fi. Just what I got with the fastest down.
That speed test was also taken on a 5s, which is limited to 100/50Mbps, so I probably would have gotten even faster speeds with an iPhone 6 or later.
