I am interested to see how the arrival of the iPhone 5 has affected the speed of the LTE network. If you have before and after numbers please post. Also is anyone experiencing network problems with the increased LTE users?

Hell yeah I live in the Tampa area and used to be able to get 15-18 M down and 8 up. Now I'm lucky to get 8 down and 4 up.

I remember being one or the first lucky few to get a Skyrocket when their LTE network first went live. I could consistantly get 35-40 down and 20 up those were the days. I fact I didn't see a huge decrease in speed until they released the Note and One X. By the time all of the pre orders ship I estimate we will get about 4-7 down and 2 up. It could be that HSPA+ turns out to be faster than LTE lol.....
