inrcedible indeed!

where is your aunt located? metro's coverage map shows no 4G coverage in the state of kansas.

where are you located?
 
actually thats tye server location that was used to do the test. i guess kansas is where metro's main server is. ironic if theres no coverage there.

We both live in dallas, texas. She actually lives 10 minutes away from my house... and when i did the speed test the server was chosen automatically, i didn't touch anything

The server was chosen as default without me choosing the closest server. I know it's weird being kind of far but the speed is just amazing!
 
yeah dallas is gonna be where metro has its best speeds. thats where they have the best rollout.

if you dont mind, next time you're at your aunts house, can you turn on the location service on your connect which will allow the speedtest app to find the closest server to your location and run the test again and give us the results?

yeah no problem I will be going there this weekend so will do it for sure.

EDIT. Now that I remember i did do it once with location on and found the dallas/forthworth server to be the closest but will do it again this weekend as I don't remember the results I got

Lucky! I'm in Dallas and all i get is between 4-5 mbps down and 1.5ish mbps up. Wish i got those speeds

Same, Dallas, near carrolton, and I haven't seen those speeds. If the downtown/rich district doesn't have them I doubt anywhere else does.

The test was done in richardson and yeah i know it's hard to believe. I live 10 minutes away and i only get 1/5 of those speeds.

Awesome there doing good things with the price raise glad to see and happy I at least kept my connect
 
do you think other 4g places will get this kind of speed too, does anyone have some inside info on this;). like new york
 
dallas being where metroPCS is based out of they have a better role out there than anywhere else. it depends on how they choose to expand and role out in other cities. its not exactly a trickle-down effect where if one city is fast than every other city will be. other cities will get faster if they build more metro towers in those areas and they have to be able to purchase the spectrum for those towers. gaining spectrum will be harder in some cities than others with all 4 major companies looking to expand their networks. metro has to compete with these companies for room to build.
