Just ran a speed test with my S4 in Manhattan on 65th Street and Madison Avenue, here are my results.

Knock knock G2

More importantly. ... who is the girl in the picture? Damn!

Just did the same test back home in Staten Island, 10MB down and 6MB upload, guess only in Manhattan for now.

You're welcome.

Dusty, you are on top of things I see.

Here's mine. This is exciting stuff.

What happened with the upload speed.

 

[silverfang77]

Don't know. Don't care. These download speeds are off the chain.

I can pull these speeds and faster in Orange county, California. I had one at 70/40 Mbps

Too bad Sprint can't get their act together and do this.

I know this seems exciting and all, but XLTE speeds should be showing gains between 101-225Mbps on the download. Most of the radios in mobile devices are only capable of handling download speeds to 100Mbps and that also includes the iPhone. The Note 3 going forward which added an option to handle 150Mbps came out late last year and most of the latest devices like the S5 are capable of supporting speeds up to 225Mbps.

Long story short, we should be all able to turn our devices on, point them at the sky and receive 100Mbps without breaking a sweat. But, for some reason that is not the case. :blink:

It's just like when 56 k modems were introduced. You get bursts of the top speed, but never sustained.

In the middle of the night when most others are sleeping, you would think so. During waking hours, with many others sharing the radio bandwidth and the bandwidth going to each cell site, it has to drop. They might even place limits on individual connections and it may depend on time of day or anticipated load. For instance when a cell reaches 50% data saturation, they may limit individual connections to 40mbit.
