NICE!!! I was getting slightly faster than that in The Woodlands at first but it was inconsistent and I usually end up getting 19 down, and 9 up.
Got a tip for us?

If you feel you know more on this topic, can you just come forward and explain it from A to Z in one message, i am very interested in the topic, but not following a sub topic of this thread for pages.
CAT-5 is used for Ethernet, up to 328 feet (100m). Backhaul is on fiber or telephone-line copper.
56 down is insanely fast and in the middle of the day too. Fastest speed down I've gotten is 51.
51.6 Down 27 Up on a moving sky train heading into downtown Vancouver.
I've attached screen grabs of my plan on Telus. I will pay a maximum of 5 dollars for the first 2 months for unlimited data on their LTE network. After that, I have to try to keep it under 5GB.
US carrier customers are being robbed blind comparatively. Weird how the US previously had cheaper data than Canada and now we have cheaper mobile data. Of course, we have direct competition between several carriers on the same frequency bands for LTE and HSPA+.
While some carriers in the US might offer cheaper data on an ongoing basis, I can cancel after the first 2 months without penalty as it is month to month and the speeds we get up here are worth a bit more money IMO. I can also choose to go to another carrier like Bell, Rogers or Virgin if I want later.

Herdon, VA
My phone had a lot of trouble loading from Safari and facebook, and any other games or w.e that required internet, so I resorted to having a speedtest.
This is what I got, and this is despicable.
If anyone knows how to maximize the speed to at least 10mps, please tell me.
It would be greatly appreciated..
I actually live in Northern Virginia, but it defaulted to Herdon for some reason?
Sometimes, the whole thing froze at the pinging process, or at downloading or uploading process and wouldn't budge, and i had to resort to restarting the app.
I have done this back to back for about 10 minutes or so, and the speed fluxuated from 0mbps to 2.09 at max.

Because Downloading and Uploading speed should not differ that much regardless of it being 3G or LTE.
AND I've got an email from AT&T saying if I exceed 3GB Data they'll reduce my speed?
AT&T LTE - New York City Chinatown
AT&T LTE - New York City Chinatown
Download 50.49 Mbps
Upload 22.79 Mbps
Ping 38 ms

Upload speeds over 3G are usually significantly slower than download speeds. It sounds like you're new to the AT&T throttling discussion: their policy now is to reduce data speeds once a customer hits 3gb in a month for that month, and the speed reduction tends to be drastic (around EDGE speeds).
wrong
honestly, it seems something is wrong with this. I mean 70mb down? Nobody has seen those numbers nationwide and the theoretical limit is real world 72mb, but we all know that can't actually happen.
