That's true, but I never need to worry about being billed for going over the limit. Just out of curiosity, how the hell do you use so much data?

Edit my bad this is att. Im verizon..lol ooopsHmmmm? I've been steady around 160gigs a month. No throttling here. Not that I even believe they throttle 4g. But then again things may have changed. Just looking around and saw this post ...damn I know lots of people that use more than me. However my use is from constant flashing and DL ROMs ..etc.

10 million people in that area with a large amount sporting Android and iOS devices... You're going to have some slowdown on your network. Hell, according to the graph posted earlier Verizon was only getting 3mbps higher.
All things considered, both carriers are doing a decent job. As the technology improves so will speeds. LTE is still a pretty young tech.
***** all you'd like but you're going to get considerably lower speeds in higher population areas no matter what carrier you're on. It's the same technology just different spectrums.

Nice Speeds
See I come from S.Korea when our internet speed was 6-7mbps and United States was just getting DSL/Cable at that time.
I cant complain too much since I have unlimted plan I dont want to switch over. I just wish AT&T would read my emails about how you need more towers / spectrum where people use it more than having tower in some farm land saying "LTE EVERYWHERE 10x 3G SPEED" but never realized where I live its more like -10x 3G Speed

In the city people do not NEED the lte speeds, yes I understand you WANT them, but you all can already get great cable modem speeds for your home internet service and there are wifi hotspots everywhere. I have a few friends that live a mile or two away from me that can only get 1 way cable service so they get 1mb down and 56k up, my house is on a major highway so I get 25 down 5 up on my cable modem. Getting people in that situation will account for more money for att, Many of my friends teather their laptops and pay by the gig because the service is so much faster than what they can have otherwise.

I had to upgrade my wifi to the fastest service i could get since it seemed so slow compared to my LTE..I used to get about the same as you..it was driving me nuts lol
Yea I understand your point, however I think your missing my main point of this speed. Its that I am PAYING for LTE service speed which is supposedly to be faster than 3G. Now if I cant even get 1mb speed why should i still pay for $40-50 dollars ? thats my main point if a company sells a product they are suppose to deliver it however ATT did not in my area at least.
If there was a way for me to toggle and use 3G only I would. Since 3G is speed is still faster in my area. But our galaxy s3 won't stay on 3g only bummers.

You're paying for DATA. At no point does it say that you are entitled to LTE service.
This is correct cuz all the lte and non lte tiered plans r the same price hence my old sgs2 was 3gigs for 20 bucks my new one lte is 3gigs for 20 bucks they don't charge extra for lte

There is a way to turn off lte, add a gsm only APN and it will stay on 3g. I understand your point also I was just pointing out that the good old boys out in the sticks never get anything good when it comes to technology and internet speeds so for once at&t is actually doing the right thing and letting us have some fun. Your speeds do "suck" and I believe at&t needs to do something about it, but you may actually have a defective phone. I believe you are the only one I have seen with such slow connections on lte, its hard to believe that no one else in your area is on xda. I have seen a few at 3 - 5 mb down but none at less than one.

Honestly, they should be throttling you if you're using 160 gigs a month. There's no way you should be using this much data.

Yeah 160 A.month is alot of.data and i have no idea how anyone could use all.that but so what who,cares how much someone else uses? Or who are we to say how much another person should or should not use?

Not trying to be an @$$ or anything but you do know that aosp roms like cm10 and aokp list lte as 4g and hspa+ as h+ it will never say 4g lte in the status bar unless you're on a touchwiz based rom right?

When I first got my galaxy s3, telus said it would come with 4g lte. It worked well and on the top notification section, it specifically said, 4g lte. Now I'm trying out custom roms and such, and I downloaded CM10. However, on CM10, the icon no longer says 4g lte, but it says H+. When I revert back to my old rom, it doesn't say 4G (i ahven't seen it say LTE at the end yet though). Anyone can tell me why my data connection has been demoted, or if it has been demoted at all? Should I just give Telus a call and ask whats up with this?
And yes, LTE is available in my area, I'm in Vancouver.
