Help Is this really 4GLTE?

[Mecha105]

I average at around 5.5Mb/s downstream and ~4-5Mb/s upstream.

These speeds are dismal for them to call it LTE. At&T and Verizon, much as I despise them, both get unbelievable speeds, 20Mbps and up. I thought they spoofed their Speedtest results when I saw 'em. Two guys at work with their fancy Galaxies

We all now spectrum=bandwidth and bandwidth=speed so just wait until later this year for the speeds to go up, right now metro uses 3x3mhz channels of spectrum for 4G later they will start using 10x10mhz (proof- MetroPCS 2012 Q2 sees profits skyrocket to $149 million despite losing nearly 200,000 subscribers - Engadget ) which is what Verizon and AT&T use right now & they get from 10-45mbps with just 10mhz, then with the metropcs & tmobile merger they will start using 20x20mhz so just imagine the speeds you will start getting.

EDIT: 20x20 will be the minimum. Proof- last paragraph http://gigaom.com/mobile/its-quickly-official-t-mobile-and-metropcs-agree-to-merge/

Here is my speed at home which is slow I usually get 4000kbs

Personally the speed isn't great, but I can't argue with the price or for my area the coverage. Only Verizon matches Metro in LTE coverage around here. I'm very impressed with how good their coverage is in California especially the northern rural part that pretty much everyone else has ignored.

Honestly when this merger is completely done I think our speed is going to wind up being at the top end just because they will have so much spectrum available to them.

I live in Coral Springs too and I was getting high 3s when I first got the motion. Now its more often low 3s and sometimes high 2s. I haven't upgraded to the new prl yet but I'm guessing that the speed difference is because there is more people on it and more traffic

I stay in Pompano Beach Florida and here's a look at my speeds
