Im not sure on the feasability of this, however instead of focusing on bandwidth, I would preffer for carriers to work on reducing ping speeds. Having a speed of 30mb/s is great, however if you have 60ms ping speed, it acts as a heavy bottleneck. Having checked my speeds at various locations, I average around 15-20mb, however I alsways have a very long ping speed.

60ms does not seem that bad to me for non-gaming stuff though.
 
Sprint flipped the B41 switch by my work within the last couple of days.

In line for the safari at Animal Kingdom (Disney World). First is from the usual server I use. Other is from a local T-Mobile server (for a ping advantage).

Speeds are more or less the same all around the park. LTE coverage is pretty solid as well. HSPA+ fallback isn't bad.

I've been hanging around the Orlando area for the past week, and have found some pretty decent speeds on both TMo and Sprint. AT&T has been good at the parks, but anywhere else around has been very hit and miss. Tonight, Downtown Disney was good, but I drive was horrible.

Here is my speed test on TMo from Millenia area. I won't even bother posting Sprint or AT&T, both are laughable at best here.

This isn't an iOS screenshot, so I might get pelted with stones soon, but this was in line for the Aerosmith roller coaster at Hollywood Studios on an AT&T GS5 Active:

I was getting between 40-60 down on T-Mobile...

As always: YMMV.
 
Suburbs about 30 minutes away from Atlanta, GA. I've noticed I've been significantly satisfied with Sprint service lately.

3G HSPA+ test in the same spot for comparison. Never had a 3G test this fast before. Unloaded.

I wish US carriers would either switch to showing 4G for LTE, and 3G for HSPA+, or if they are going to keep using LTE, switch 3G to H+ or H for GSM, and eVDO for CDMA networks. Kind of ridiculous to see GPRS, E, 1x, 3G, 4G, and LTE...some of those doesn't belong!

I partially agree. Most people don't know what "H" or "H+" is, which would just result in more questions. 3G and "3G+" might be easier. All T-Mobile's fault for using "4G" as HSPA+.
 
At TPC Sawgrass for the final day of this PGA Tour event. This was near the 18th on a hill within line of sight of the tower (second photo -- can see T-Mobile's setup at the top).

Then to the right of there were COWs for AT&T (left 2 towers) and Verizon (right one). Nice to see that T-Mobile doesn't need one.

I did two tests while in Providence, RI around noon today -

Also did one later. This is the fastest upload speed that I've seen on LTE -

It was nice to see unthrottled speed! :)

I would like to start by saying, WOW!!!! at Sprint!

Traveled by train this weekend from Atlanta, GA to New York. I streamed Netflix TV shows, movies, and music 98% of the trip and was happy to see that I was only interrupted by buffering twice while streaming a movie and everything else was completely smooth the entire trip.

Sprint has definitely stepped up their game since I joined them in 2011 and I'm excited to see where these amazing network improvements are heading!
