4g in Santa Maria, CA is atrocious!

[MyUsernameRox]

I just did 3 speed tests, holy crap @ the suckage. My Optimus M got comparable speeds on 3g-and sometimes better!

Top 3 speed tests are Santa Maria, the rest are L.A.

Also there is a huge dead area for 4g on US 101 starting at Goleta and ending in Santa Maria.

I had to toggle airplane mode to get 4g back on from having been on 1x.

YES!!! I though it was because I went over my 2.5gb 4G limit.. I get those speeds with my 4G. Last month I had better speeds even though i had went over. I used 2g-3g widget to used 3G and it was much faster, but now even that is slowed down.

well here in the heart of tampa with prl 3031 speeds on hillsborough and on nebraska have been epic not even reaching 1 mbps we shall see in a few days if speeds go back to normal.

Edit: I apparently didn't know what ""atrocious" really meant. I just learned a brand new meaning of the word.

In Paso Robles, CA.just now...in the middle of a city with full 4g coverage and 2-3 bars on my phone I got:

0.19 mbps down (!!!) 1.55 up.

0.19 MBPS! Holy crap.That's not even 3g, that's as slow as 1x!

I feel like the people here are getting ripped off.

what are your zip codes in santa maria and paso robles?

 

[MyUsernameRox]

Santa Maria : 93454

Paso Robles: 93446

 

[THE W]

Santa Maria : 93454

Paso Robles: 93446

go check metroPCSs coverage map on their website and you'll see that both of those area codes are in bad coverage areas for metro.

93454 is completely outside of metro's home area.
