This is worse than 3g. Updated PRL and profile, but get the same results. Anyome else have their LTE speed nerfed with the update?

Hmmm...I have connected to LTE but haven't done a speed test yet. Will need to do that however my speeds seemed to be fine. Have heard others having issues with 3G after flashing JB also.

What modem are you running currently?

Whatever is stock. I am wondering if there is just a bad LTE tower here in downtown Atlanta. I'll have to run another speed test when I get home tonight, for the sake of comparison.

Yeah, check more than one tower and see if you're still having the issue. I never ran one of the 4.1.1 leaks or the 'official' ROMs yet as I'm waiting for a few more enhancements to be made.

I did however put BlackBean6 on last night (AOSP ROM) which is 4.1.2 I believe. Ran a few tests with LTE to make sure all was well and I was getting about 8 down and 6 up if I remember right.

I just flashed the LJ7 modem the other day too, though I haven't noticed much of a difference from what I was on before.

Re-ran at home and getting good speed again. There is a bad tower in downtown Atlanta. I wonder if there is any way to report it to Sprint.

Just call 611 and tell them they can report it for you

I tried the latest modem and found that, in San Antonio, I get better speeds on the LIH firmware. With that, I've seen as high as 32mb/second, but most of the time the LTE speed is about 10, which is very fast. Try reverting to the LIH modem--the link can be found in the development forum, in the OP of the Jelly bean 4.1.1 official leaked thread.
