So I've had the LTE Galaxy Nexus for just over 2 months, first 4G phone, first android, first worthy smartphone. Rooted, stock OS 4.0.2.
I do speedtests every few days, and I normally get 18Mbps down and 8Mbps up with a ping of 60ms, on average... 4 bars at work, and 2 bars at home.
However, recently I've been getting 3 bars at home much more consistently, but it didn't really improve my speed much. But the signal seemed a bit more consistent.
Over the past couple of days though, my speeds have taken a nosedive. Still testing pretty fast at work with 4 bars, except with an upstream speed is a bit slower and a ping of 80ms (vs 55-60 ms before). But my speed at home has been hit harder, about half what it normally is: down 8Mbps, up 1Mbps, ping 110ms... vs down 16Mbps, up 8Mbps, ping 60ms before
I've confirmed this by realworld usage too, which on average seems about half what it was before...
Anyone else notice changes recently, or ever had this happen to the 4G in their area, or hear of it happening anywhere? Weird they would give me more bars but at lower speeds....
I figure it could be big red messing with their settings. My overall speeds are slower, but they seem a little more consistent... personally I'd rather have inconsistent lightning fast!
