So, I spent the weekend around Chicago and decided to grab a large number of data speed tests on LTE. Just thought I would present the data here for those wondering about speed in Chicago.
I took 74 total samples from the Lake Shore Drive to Western, from Archer to Belmont.
The mean speed for downloads is 18.9965 megabits.
There is an 84% probability your download speed will be over 13.6148 megabits.
There was only 1 connection issue (at Navy Pier)
The 40+ Mbps downloads all happened in Lincoln Park near DePaul
-------------------
I intended on continuing to do speed tests and producing a heat map once I have enough samples.
