Those results are garbage and used in areas to make one look better than the other. I've test 5 LTE areas including the extended areas in SC and have seen nothing less than 12Mbs down. And as high as 32Mbs Down in high use areas. I average 20Mbs just about everywhere I go.

I do - 48Mb is decent bandwidth. Too bad he thinks that is fast though.... 118ms ping makes me cringe.

I'm on T-Mobile and have an iPhone 4. In the triad in North Carolina I get an average of 6mbps download and 1.5 to 3mbps upload. To make sure it wasn't just the phone I used a personal hotspot and connected my laptop to my phone network and still got these speeds, and I even used different speed testing websites.

That is scary slow... what kind of latency are you getting?

If you're not on LTE, that's normal enough. TBH, I don't actually find it to be an issue, since I'm not doing anything particularly bandwidth intensive. It's not enough of an issue to justify paying more anyway...

I didn't ask you.
