Post your LTE speeds and location

B4 (20x20) LTE vs B2 HSPA+ at Magic Kingdom near the liberty bell. Don't let the LTE speeds fool you -- nothing else would load. B12 LTE on a Lumia 640 worked a bit better and was actually usable. Still unimpressive compared to how much faster everything was one year ago.

Universal Studios yesterday, it was useless most of the time. Epcot T-mobile was very slow 0.3-2 down. Att had great speeds in both locations.
Att is slow in Sea World 1-2down 5-7 up. 4g is 4-5 down, 5 up. Didn't test T-mo there, didnt want to take extra useless weight with me.
My conclusion T-mobile is bad in parks. In Orlando I found it is same or sometimes better than Att.

I was at Epcot yesterday as well and just left LTE off -- much faster and more reliable.

Just 6 months ago (this was done on Oct. 31), I was able to hit almost 100Mbps down in the Epcot parking lot near the cell site that they have on the NE side of it. Now, I have used 42GB this period (15 days left), so I may have been deprioritized, but people on Reddit claim it's just congestion, which I guess I agree with because my Lumia 640 was pulling the same speeds, and because HSPA+ seemed just fine.

Practically pointless with such paltry data caps. Verizon was also $200 more expensive per month than an equivalent T-Mobile plan - but T-Mo was unlimited and Verizon was capped ridiculously low.

Unlimited or not. It's still better than half of you people with T-Mobile. I love my speeds even thou it's capped.

I agree with you T-mo's 4G is faster than LTE in parks. I couldn't get 4G in Universal for some reason. In Seaworld I found Att's 4G is also faster.
My conclusion : you get what you pay for. Going to keep att as my domestic provider for the next 3 months and give T-mo one more try. I really doubt they can change the situation, but I still hope.

Where free Wi-Fi is available, I don't think T-Mobile will do many improvements (if any). That would just cost way too much for the big 3 amusement parks. Calls and texts ultimately work fine, so for data, they'll probably just rather have people use Wi-Fi or switch to HSPA+ (if available).
