Hmm... Ok.

Makes sense why your data speeds are pretty slow. For example, upload is way higher than download.

Tons of congestion in Boston. Everyone seems to be on either AT&T or Verizon.

Pretty much. Kinda sucks but what can you do really without spending way too much money for minimal speed increase, if it even exists.

Speed is slow around Boston last week. I even called Att and they have an issue here. I think they tuned up their network over the weekend. Weekends 2-4 down. Weekdays 15-20. (T-mobile 4g only 1-2 with a very high ping 500-600 ). Boston is fine for me.

They recently upgraded B2 to 15x15 in Boston. Happened sometime last week

Speeds have gone up, but more importantly upload speeds have gotten higher!

I work near Newbury and performance has been great.

I think they change something in Peabody area. Speed is very inconsistent last week. Usable but jumps from 1-3 to 40-50
 
Yes it is very fast around Harvard. I have 60-95 all the time in the area. Measured next to TD Arena, was 25 today. I don't need faster than 10 at all.
Do you know that Att has DAS inside TD arena?

Yup, I did. They were the first to get on the DAS.

The DAS has been up there for years. If you go into TD and are off the exterior macro sites, AT&T has been constantly pulling 50-80mbps these past few months off the DAS. Fantastic performance even when it's packed.

Should be by there tomorrow. Will run some tests.
 
Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, NC. Band 4 LTE (10x10 I believe).

Near a DAS antenna (-71dBm) under one of the grandstands.

zMAX drag way parking. LTE vs. band 2 "4G"/3G.

Still a few hours until the scheduled start time. Rain delay. Numbers will eventually get worse. Everything still seems to work fine.
 
Those are pretty solid speeds for the speedway during a big race. The other carriers are barely usable during those events. Really surprised at how fast the HSPA+ is.
