iPhone X LTE Speeds Tested. Still have your Receipt ?

This is utter nonsense. My work requires me to split time between San Jose and NYC. During the work week, it doesn't matter what kind of bandwidth is theoretically possible because there is too much congestion to make any real world difference. Today at 10AM in SJC, I am seeing about 2 mbps on Tmobile and my coworker with an S8 is seeing the same. Furthermore, there are dead spots everywhere. Stop complaining about theoretical specs that you know nothing about and complain to TMobile and other carriers to add more data capacity. When TMobile has excess data capacity, sure complain all you want about how slow your phone is.
Fringe remote areas will be the last places to get upgraded to Gigabit LTE if ever, so your example is completely false. Furthermore, the article you linked only covers data speed and NOT signal strength. Stop spreading fake news.
Needed that laugh. Thank you so much... it really is sad though.
This.
And also from Wiki about who "BGR" Boy Genius Report is:
"While running BGR, Boy Genius kept his identity concealed. On April 27, 2010, Boy Genius revealed himself as Jonathan Geller, a 23-year-old Greenwich High School dropout who never attended college. Geller chose to remain anonymous at first due to the marketing opportunities that being anonymous afforded him and his site; however when BGR joined Penske Media Corporation Geller decided it was best for both him and his site that he reveal himself as the site's founder and Editor in Chief."
My Verzion X has no issues. I get DL speeds between 100 and 125 Mbps. I guess with speeds like that, my iPhone is unusable.
like i said.....they will add it when it's actually a thing

My iPhone 7+ never had fast LTE speeds. For some reason, AT&T in NYC is awful. I max out at 10mbps up and down. They keep saying that they are going to improve the network, but it still hasn't happened. Unless it's the Intel modem that Apple is using. Either way, I have no control over it. So, for me, anything above what I am getting now is an upgrade.
at my parents it's at about 23 and my home over 25
at work it's 86MB...but really it's more than fast enough.
Doesn't matter to me. Most I can ever get is approx 100Mbps [megabits], and this was on an apple store in Melbourne when i do go past it at sometimes.
That's plenty fast enough for me. I'm happy with my phone's speed its snappy enough for me.
imo pointless article, sure the note 8 can get faster speeds but thanks to Australia's lack of fast progression in mobile speeds [4g], i doubt we can even hit the theoretical limit here. So all in all doesn't bother me
[Disclaimer this is just my opinion] ymmv.

All these numbers and not one person or reviewer can say anything about how this alleged better LTE speed makes a single app run faster.
Considering I went from having one to two bars in my apartment and never exceeding 15Mbps on my 7 Plus, my V30 has been a worthy upgrade. I can keep signal in BFE.
If Intel works for you, great. I'm glad my Qualcomm modem in my V30 hasn't been crippled (No antennas removed). To each their own.

“Oh no, another phone beats the iPhone with a value unobtainable for two more years! The iPhone is horrendous!”
I say relax. It functions far beyond the required and desired functions of a phone.
