Got 4g on verizon yesterday

Just got the 4g LTE and it's a little faster, but not that much faster than 3g. Anybody notice same thing? Don't get me wrong it's faster, but the 5 times faster some are claiming I'm just not seeing it. 20% faster possibly yes 5 times faster umm no.
 
Something's wrong then. Your jaw should be dropping. It's that big a difference. I can't stand 3G anymore, especially for market updates. I go find a wifi connection if I'm in a 3G area.

Yeah, 4G is amazing in my area! Get the free Speed Test app from the market and see what kind of speeds you're getting. I regularly clock between 15 - 20Mbps down and 0.7 - 1.5Mbps up.
 
supposed to get 4g in my area on the 16th

and apparently the bootfix update on the 15th?

looks like this'll be a good week :}
 
What speed are you getting on 3g and 4g? I get crappy 3g like 500-800kbps on 4g its between 5-23 mbps I need to figure out how to post pics of my shoot me screen shots so I can show you mine
 
In the crappy corner of my office with 4g I get 8.15Mbps download and .24Mbps upload just now. However outside in a stonger 4g world I got 21.35 Mbps up and 3.27Mbps down when it was just turned on earlier last week.

Edit to add that this is in Milwaukee
 
In Seattle area part of the initial 4-G rollout. Just ran 3 tests:

Download 34.97 36.93 21.19 Mbps
Upload 7.67 4.61 4.32 Mbps
Ping 106 66 101 ms

Idk how you manage that...I get 5 down and 2-3 up. Guess you're lucky.
 
4G speed varries greatly with the quality of the signal you are getting. If you have 1 bar 4G you are going to have a much slower connection than if you have 3-4 bars.
