Certainly better than the test I just did for Verizon LTE in Portland View attachment 48684

This is what I get on my Verizon LTE though.

I'm gonna miss it somewhat lol.

Does anyone see any 42 around the Twin Cities? The T-Mo rep at the Burnsville Mall store told me they get 42 around (coincidentally) Co. Rd. 42 but that's it. I drove around that area quite a bit today with the "Network Signal Info" app turned on and never saw it go above 21. Although it did drop down to "UMTS" quite a bit. Very disappointing.
I posted my speed test results in Minneapolis earlier in the thread (or maybe it was the other HSPA+ thread?). Subsequent tests have been the same or better. Seeing between 14-22 megs down and 1.5-3 megs up with a ping consistently around 100 ms. On my Galaxy Nexus I would typically get around 6-7 megs down. I'm on the T-Mobile $30/month 100 minutes, unlimited text, unlimited data (throttle after 5 GB) plan (had same plan on Galaxy Nexus).
I haven't seen speeds nearly that high with N4 in the Twin Cities. And the ping time is ridiculously high. I still can't get the Network Signal Info app to show me an HSPA+ 42 network anywhere around us. Unless the app just doesn't include that feature.
Out of curiosity, how does ping time impact you? Are you a voip user?

I've been getting my speeds in downtown and uptown Minneapolis. Have not had one bad test in those areas. Haven't tried other parts of the metro.I haven't seen speeds nearly that high with N4 in the Twin Cities. And the ping time is ridiculously high.

I would very much like to be. Although VoLTE sounds even better.

What I mean to say is if you're not using something very latency dependent, what is the concern with the ping?
I don't know what apps are around the corner that may or may not function better with better ping/data speeds. It's certainly something to measure and consider.
