Anyone tested their 4G SPEEDS on the S3?

My results have been varied. I just got 1.5 megabytes down and 1.9 megabytes up. Yes, bytes.

26 down/12 up, Washington, D.C.

Interesting. I got 10/1.2 the other day in Leesburg and maxed out at 4.26/3.56 in Pentagon City at my desk which is in a corner, so I was getting 3-4 bars of LTE. Just got 7.26/4.55 at home.

I've been very happy with my speed from a practical/usage standpoint, despite "only" getting around 7-10 down and 5-8 up at home and at work (inside). I was starting to get concerned after seeing all of these 20+ results, but then I ran a test outside downtown this evening...
 
4g is unbearble with this phone. My apartment complex has horrible verizon 4g coverage, but it was usable with my HTC Rezound. Everything just stalls when using my S3. Good thing we have wi-fi. I'm hoping I didn't get a lemon. =/

edit: 4g works fine everywhere but my apartment complex. really disappointing. My Rezound held 4g here like a champ.

Not impressed so far. I know the area is capable of more. My wife's xoom and rebound have both gotten 20+ down and up but it's been a while since I ran tests. I just ran it on her xoom about 11 down and 2 up so something is up.

Just as an update. This is my speed on the weekends outside of downtown SF.

The more these phones get out the more the network will slow down, that said I routinely get about 13-25 down with 3-12 up In the Bronx. Problem is 4G hasn't been that consistent for me yet there are times when I am stuck with no G's and using ty 1x
 
How about this, from my S3: 71mbps down, 26 up, ping of 50!

Extremely busy mall. 4g lte SK telecom Seoul. Likely the majority of visitors already have 4g phones.
