Even though I dislike speed tests, I do have to say this is pretty good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4GqSVbfNGk Not bad for being at ces, and using the same tower that is getting hammered by a few hundred, if not thousand people.

so much for such high speeds with 4g
HTC Thunderbolt: Early favorite for best smartphone of 2011 | Tech Sanity Check | TechRepublic.com There? It is likely to be on wifi, with that many people at ces, the towers where hammered. The latency tells you it was probably wifi. But 4-10mbps should be average, with a hit about 6mbps. But with lte you can go faster but battery starts to get hammered.
Verizon says 5-12mbps

Yes, of course, God knows a free internet app is way more accurate than anything the carrier would know would know about THEIR network...
How about here: HTC Thunderbolt Verizon 4G Review, Specs, Price,Release date | www.hotmobilenews.com (Averaging 6-8mbps)
I get 10.3 through Sprint if you want to believe speedtest, but I think it's more like 5-6mbps though...(just keeping my phone honest) LTE and 4G are both plenty fast. It appears the same average speeds though on both Sprint and VZW. Truce?

I have to say I don't care what you get on Sprint.
The way they provision users is different than Verizon's LTE. They hard cap you at either 6mbps or 10mbps down and 1mbps up by provision your account that way at the very corporate level. I don't expect you to know this.
You keep comparing your Sprint 4G in every single Thunderbolt topic you post almost like you're trying to justify something.
Verizon Wireless announced 6-12mbps down and 2-5mbps up only to set customer's expectations much lower so they can easily exceed them, and make customers happy. It's an old sales trick, and again, I don't expect you to know this.
Thunderbolt uses the same MDM9600 Qualcomm RF chip that you can find in an existing vzw's USB LTE modem UML290 where users are seeing speeds in excess of 40mbps off peak. Everyone knows that once the network gets hit with millions of 4G users speeds will be much lower, but please for the love of God stop comparing your Sprint speeds (or Comcast like you did earlier in that locked thread) as they have nothing to do with LTE and nobody cares.
I knew you were incapable of having a decent conversation....

IBTL on this one too? I must admit that I'm curious as to how Verizon will compare to Sprint since if Verizon offers tiered and capped data plans, I fully intend to jump ship. There are too many carriers out there willing to do unlimited data that I'd be crazy to pay more with Verizon and not get an unlimited data plan.

I truly apologize if the facts I'm stating backed up by data are too hard for you to comprehend.
On the other hand, I'm extremely anxious to see your very first contribution to this forum backed up by real world tests in regards to HTC Thunderbolt, not Sprint or your home internet connection.
Do you have a Thunderbolt? Do you? No, you don't. So who are you to try and tell me to post something in regards to the Thunderbolt like you're sitting there with one in your hands? You posted a link, and I posted TWO that show real-world testing. Then, you claim I'm only talking about Sprint, Cable Internet, etc, while you post LTE MODEM data...Can you spell hypocrite? Then you start with a condescending tone when I don't reply to your attempt at being a Keyboard Thug.
Here are the points EVERYONE but you seems to grasp:
Speedtest numbers are notoriously WRONG, and,
VERIZON and HTC both say the Thunderbolt will achieve download speeds of 5-12mbps.
The only mention I make of Cable Internet on another thread was to show you that MY Cable Internet only has a throughput of 15mbps, but Speedtest claims it gets 34kbps...If you can't see that it's OBVIOUS speedtest is optimistic at best, then that's your problem. Now quit following me from thread to thread, or at least quit responding to MY posts if you don't like MY response.

Yes, 5mbps is quick on a phone...The mobile apps and webpages are so much smaller that they just fly open.

Anyhow, to top off the Engadget's screenshots from CES which I posted earlier, I actually had HTC TB in my hand 5 weeks ago (February 6th i won't forget that date) when Verizon RF technicians came to my company to instal repeaters. They were getting 20+mbps down and 8mbps up here in NYC in the middle of the day both using Speedtest app and using a web browser. If you read this forum you would've known that. If everyone else is fine Speedtest.net as the easiest and quickest speed testing reference, why should you try to reinvent it?
Now I'm happy that you clearly love your Sprint phone, but your experience with 4G ends right there. Have you even tested any AirCard on Verizon's LTE? I thought so. You keep repeating 5-12mbps which tells me that you have absolutely zero experience with the actual Verizon's LTE network. Their speeds well exceed whats advertised and that's the beauty of it.
So the more incorrect posts you make, the more data I'll throw back at you so you can hopefully learn something.
Now calm yourself down, let's not even try to see who has bigger E-junk and stay on topic.
lol...Verizon repeaters, Sprint, AirCards, etc...That's really "on topic", huh? Like I said, do you have a Thunderbolt? No, you don't...Now you claim you got to hold one. "Cool story, bro". BTW, you've now mentioned Sprint in your last 3 posts, but I haven't in my last 3...what's up with that?

When people hit the point where calm discourse cannot occur without the driving need to call the other guy out, then it's time to simply use the feature we provide for the user ignore list.
I'm providing the link here as a public service - http://androidforums.com/profile.php?do=ignorelist
There are days when it's best to agree to disagree.
If and when that cannot be arrived at - just use ignore. There's no rule that says everyone must agree - but I hope we can agree that ending arguments that have no other resolution is best for the parties involved and the others that don't want to read the arguing.
Thank you.
