Just got my Nexus 5, coming from a Samsung Galaxy S 3. With the S3 I used to see LTE speeds around 25mbps, as high as 50Mbps when right next to a tower. Now with the Nexus I barely get over 1Mbps, what's the deal. Do I have to change something in the settings? My device says LTE and my signal strength is about 88-89 dbm.

Thanks for any help.

Followed the APN settings here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1434995. It seems my APN settings are correct. I wonder if something is going on with the towers. I live in New Castle Delaware. I'll be going to Philadelphia later I'll check and see if I get the same results.

Problem solved! I didn't do anything special except put in a bunch of apn's that didn't do anything. Upon going back to original APN and doing a bunch of reboots and airplane mode it just started working. Speeds are very normal for my location.
