Upgraded from 4s to 5s - Internet Speed WOW

[zumajoe]

AT&T user here was on the "4G" network with the 4s... was happy overall having broadband speeds on the go, however I use tethering with my MBP so it's always been a relief to get back home on the 30MBps connection.

NOT ANYMORE!!! wow... this LTE stuff is just amazing. Getting 24/15 average up north of San Diego. The lag is hardly noticable now.

Happy to pay for technology that works great.

Yes. My highest was 69/17 on AT&T in Boston. Usually lower than this but still pretty high. I was using the iPhone 5. Have not tested on iPhone 5s yet.

Im with you on this. Upgraded from a 4s. Im on sprint and with full bars where i lived i would get 2/3 down and .8 up. But with only 2/3 bars of LTE im getting 10+ down and 8 up. its crazy.

I was going to wait for the 6 but Im glad I didn't. Just opening apps has a profound difference. I held my 4s and 5s side by side and 5s was very noticeably faster. The videos I took with both looked so much better on the 5S. Defnetly a worthy upgrade

Meant to post about this days ago, thanks for bringing it up. Averaging 40megs in Birmingham. Really nice speeds.

The ping is still high.

Yep. 20 would be nice. But it's mostly a number -- I don't really feel the delay.
