The verizon speeds that people are posting are odd. I know people using androids on verizon and they get amazing speeds. Then somebody right next to them runs speedtest on their iPhone 5 and gets 3G speeds, but their icon says LTE.

Depends on the server
My numbers doubled by choosing a server closest to me. If AT&T is doing work in your area they will route the traffic in crazy ways
 
This is sprint 3G in New York, lets hope lte comes soon

Looks like speed continues to improve on Sprint...Since launch day, been averaging on the lowest end of LTE at work 7 mb down (inside a sky scapper, 65th floor in downtown Houston). now up to 12 mb down...at ground level and around my home, i've been getting 17-20 mb down....not bad...i've already used 6 gb so i would have been throttled at this pt with my old ATT "unlimited" plan. not a single dropped call yet either. happy so far with sprint lte.

Thats great news for Sprint Users however keep in mind very few people are rocking LTE devices compared to ATT and Verizon. If Sprint gets another evo blockbuster device ...what will their lte data speeds look like then?

I was with Sprint 15 years and I remember when 3g was super fast and then it was snail slow. I finally left with my 4 line account for Verizon because my 4 iPhones were unusable in the bay area. IMO
 
AT&T in Oklahoma City.

At work I just got 8.22 Mbps down and 4.60 Mbps up. At home I've gotten as much as 25.13 Mbps down and 5.83 Mbps up.

EDIT: This is with 4 out of 5 bars.
 
I'm getting 7.5Mbps in Los Angeles with Verizon LTE. Kinda disappointed.

Agree, history probably will repeat itself....If snail pace for Sprint LTE is between 4-7 mb down, I'm happy with that. If it goes below that, I'll reconsider again...Unfortunately right now, no other choice for true unlimited for me.
 
Top 2 are inside a shielded building, so not bad. The other (much faster) cell results are all inside normal buildings in downtown Boston. I'm very pleased, especially with the 30/15 in the middle of the day.

at my house, 12.61 down, 2.37 up, fastest I ever got was 44.24 mbps down and 19.73 up. this is verizon lte in piscataway nj
 
On verizon, I only get about 10MBPS. thats about what i get from my home wifi. is there something wrong with the phone? i live in the middle of illinois where there shouldnt be tons of congestion.
 
LTE just got turned on in Denver. Happy with my speeds.

Wow, Sprint is such a joke. I was out in the middle of Boston and LTE was going in and out for my friend on his iPhone 5 with Sprint, while everyone else with VZW and at&t have no issues


(my iPhone 5 does similar speeds also, but the S3 is my primary device now)

I wish I got a side-by-side of Sprint LTE vs AT&T. It wouldn't go over 10 mbps down.
