For LTE the DL speeds look good but the UL speeds are very low..
They should be in the middle teens to low twenties.

Depends on alot of things. What would you need that much upload for on your phone? Just curious.

Has nothing to do with what i would use that much upload speeds on my phone for. I was merely commenting on the fact that LTE tends to have a more balanced UL/DL speed ratio.
HSDPA+ and other technologies have a much higher DL speed and much lower UL speed. However LTE is more balanced.

I guess so. I just try not to be that picky I guess.. Try and keep it compared to real world usage :).

Mine seems to vary.. But it could be the same for tmobile in regards to towers being upgraded. Some places I have good upload but also bad.. But my area is still being built out.

My comparison is Real World.
My ATT iPhone 5, my TMO Note 2 (had access to LTE for an hour one day a few weeks ago), Before i left Sprint for TMO, I had a GS3 and EVO LTE and in Dallas the speeds werent great but they were always balanced or close to it.

Anyway, in general, LTE will have a much higher upload speed then the other technologies. Lets just leave it at that and move on.

I didn't meant real world as in you can't hit those speeds.. I meant as in using those speeds. Sure you can get 50 Mbit down on ATT LTE but.. Do people actually use that much while using the phone? Not really. Some? Sure.. Tethering could but things like music streaming and opening a app won't. That's what I meant is all :).

It's New York. I'm not shocked the upload speeds are a bit lower than normal.

I'm chomping at the bit for tmobile to launch LTE in Chicago. Is one of their next markets, and I can't wait.
