Same here. My buddy on VZ GNex is getting around 1.2-1.6 here on 3G when he doesn't have LTE which isn't fully supported here and not much of a difference comparing to me to be honest.

Sprint isn't a big carrier because they suck, the have obviously done certain things right and made SOME people happy like me. Not meant to be mean but it all boils down to your experience and area to be honest.

Yes this is true, no doubt. Obviously the article doesn't cover all areas in the U.S.

I guess you never updated your info, it still shows Verizon...unless you have both.

Here was the test in kbps

2498 (kilobytes a second) = 19,984 kbps = 20mbps

att was 14 and verizon was 10

Sorry, I went by your second picture that had your down speed at 11364kbps.

Looks like it was two different tests? So I guess you don't get constant speeds?

true, but I live in the country's 2nd or 3rd largest market (Chicago) and it stinks everywhere I go. I was in Orlando last week and in a select few locations I got over 0.8 mbps and it felt like 4G speeds compared to the paltry 0.4 or less I typically get.

Ah ok. Yeah still those are good speeds still.

With my EVO 4G and EVO 3D, when I got 4G wimax in NYC, I was getting around 10,000+ kbps down.

Also I think this article is testing Sprint 4G wimax and not LTE.

That's not bad..

Actually much faster than usual on the dl here, but typical upload and ping here downtown Chicago...

I see I'm not allowed to post attachments but it was 310dl 56up 568 ping.

These are pretty consistant speeds where I live. I didn't think sprint has rolled out lte yet??
either those pictures are photo shopped or its a one x cuz sprint says they havent yet launched lte. but if it is out then hell yeah its about time they catch up to everyone.
