those in NYC, how is the VZW LTE treating you?

mine has been completely atrocious.... i stood in midtown manhattan, by the rockefeller ice rink, and got virtually 0 signal. the phone was showing 3-4 dots of LTE, but nothing was moving. tried running speedtest, and it wouldnt even locate me (i have location services on)

switching LTE off, 3g was working flawlessly.

i first noticed this yesterday. my coworker, also with a VZW 5S was having a better go of it.

i made a genius bar appointment, but i dont know what they can do for me other than run diagnostics. was told that there are no 5S's in stock for replacements.

kinda bummed that my new iphone is having these issues. i left my galaxy nexus specifically because it had notoriously bad radios, and yet its 4G was still bettr than what i am seeing now

yea i been noticing that as well it seems slow at times very slow and others fast. i havent really got a good test yet. hopefully an update will fix.
