Are you sure that you are on XLTE and not 700MHz? What signal strength are you getting? At what time was the speed test conducted?

I had a long connection at Cleveland airport today (3.5 hours between flights) and remembered this thread.

I did three tests using speedtest.net and the results were:

57mbps down / 9mbps up
59mbps down / 11mbps up
51mbps down / 12mbps up

I was sitting near the far end of concourse C during these tests.
Phone used was my one-week-old new Verizon Galaxy S5.
