Usually Verizon LTE speeds are smoking. I had verizon before switching and the LTE down speeds were always 30+ down and usually more.

You really only need to post one screenshot you know, not even test you run.
At home in south Jacksonville, FL. Most T-Mobile sites seem to be capped at around 40Mbps down (which is fairly common overall), though it's 20x20 on band 4, sometimes with 4x2 MIMO. That's one way to keep things stable without having to pay for faster backhaul (as much as I'd like to see 80Mbps+ speeds).
Verizon and AT&T at the same spot are in the 20s (band 13 and 17, respectively -- cell sites less than a mile away versus the T-Mobile one being more than 2 miles away). Verizon band 4 areas can easily exceed 100Mbps down whereas AT&T can sometimes go sub-1Mbps down and up :/.

Carrier aggregation is working well. Jacksonville needs some love in some spots.
I'm going a little bit off topic by asking all of you what about the battery life when you are on LTE.Cause on my iPhone 5S even with 4 dots it's draining fast.
With my 6+, I can usually go through the entire work day and end up with 50% or so by the time I'm in bed. 100% LTE, averaging 2 or 3 dots of LTE on T-Mobile. Hours of Spotify stream, one hour of LTE video streaming, email checks, etc.
All other iPhones I owned (3G, 4, 5, 5s) before the 6+ were always terrible.
The 6+ has a great battery so even with bad signal you'll never notice anything.Better for you!

I think T-Mobile's carrier config has iPhones set to not be so aggressive in finding a stronger signal if you're already on something weak, whereas AT&T may want more bars regardless.
I'm in Italy so my carrier is Vodafone Italy.I was just wondering if there is a problem with my phone or it's something about the carrier.When I'm not using LTE the battery life is good on 3G.
