LTE issues in Houston, TX- Anyone else having problems?

My ATT LTE iPad has been working great until yesterday. I thought it was just bad signal at my work. But when I left for the day, it continued. During the drive home I found a ATT store and after troubleshooting, they swapped my SIM just in case.

At first I lost all LTE service altogether. But after 10 mins or so, I was up and running again... Or at least i thought i was!

This morning I left my house to find that my LTE service again was acting up.

So I went to the apple store, and they said to back up your ipad and restore. I hate that answer! Every time I go to apple, their geniuses always say that... whether it is a mac, iphone, and now a ipad! On a full 64gb ipad, It only takes 5 minutes to wipe it but it takes ~45 mins to 1:30 to get all of the data restored!

Ok so what I did was I bought another iPad ATT 64GB!

I put my old sim into the new ipad -> it didn't work.

I put the new sim into my old ipad and transfered my account over to the new sim. - > didn't work.

I then put the new sim into the new ipad... Drum roll! It still didn't work!

After SIM swaps, hard resets, network settings resets, 30 mins call with ATT tech support, and erased all on new ipad. It will work intermitantly and then just die.

I was finally convince their was just something wrong with my acc! I have seen odd things in 10 years with working at the Shack.

So... on my old ipad with my old sim, I did the unthinkable.

I created another account! yes i'm paying for it but I couldn't think of any other troubleshooting steps...

And guess what!

Still doesn't work. So is there an LTE outage going on in Houston?

I know when during the first LTE outages with Verizon when the RAZR came out i had a customer return the phone. It took 3 days for verizon to fix the outage.

Last attempt i just put the old sim with the new acc into my the ipad...

Doesn't work correctly.

I should be able to view more than 3 webpages before it stalling before the complete page is downloaded.
I should be able to do more than 2 speedtests before it either fails to start or starts and completes the download portion but the upload test fails to start!

I'm a very frustrated apple fanboy tonight.

(I'm also n a bad mood tonight because my dentist told me today that I need to go to a TMJ specialists. I called him and i was told that it costs $450 for the consult and $3500-$5000 for the treatment. Does everyone know how big a hot pocket is? Well I can't open my mouth wide enough to bite a hot pocket without pain!!!) And when i came home from the dentist, I found a lovely yellow card from my mailman! My package won't be ready to pickup until 9:30. And I have to be at work at 9:30!

Oh yeah... New problem too! With the new ipad I bought it also has the yellow tint problem!!!

 

not at my house but while driving to my house there is an ATT tower.

I've gotten as fast as 58mb down!

Anyone else in Houston where there LTE is not working correctly?

It will start to download a page but it keeps failing to finish the page unless it is mostly text ie macrumors vs craigslist.

 

Good someone having problems like me! And sorry i failed to mentioned that I always have 2 signal bars in my house. I normally only get 15mb down.

but if i were to go outside into my cul de sac. I get 3-4 bars and it bumps up to 20mb down.

My problems are also with 4G HSPA. The same issues as i described above will occur whether it is 4G or LTE!

Please any one with a LTE ipad in houston test your connection for me. Last night I THOUGHT, everything was fine but I was at home in WIFI all night. I wasn't until i left this morning when i noticed the problem still persist!

 

I spoke with a manager at AT&T store today and he said there is a known issue. In the southwest Houston. They are upgrading a tower to something.

I know u r getting 4 bars 4g but if u do three speedtests u may find that either both do and ul will stall or just ul will stall.
