I would welcome any additional speed increases here in the suburbs. While things maybe running fast and speedy in Chicago limits and some other areas as I mentioned before since they went from " test phase " to " official " here in areas like Plainfield, Crest Hill, Joliet, even Naperville areas, speeds now are literally a quarter of LTE speeds we saw during the test phase..
Now I see averages of 5-7 mbps on 3 different devices ( 2 Sprint GNex's & S3 ) from the same areas that saw averages of 20-30 mbps during the testing phase. To me thats a huge cut in speeds and while some say you can't tell the different via a mobile phone of those speeds changes I can when it comes to load times, etc.
So thumbs up to Sprint if it acquires US Cellular resulting in more bandwidth and spectrum. Maybe we will see some love in the farther burbs to get that missing speed back.
Good examples.. Thanks.Yeah I'm seeing speeds all over the board as well. Downtown Oak Park is just awesome (up to 30mbps) but west along 22nd street I'm seeing 5-6mbps, then it jumps back up around Oak Brook to 12-15mbps. Nothern 'burbs around Arlington heights and Palatine I'm seeing around 9-10mbps.
Was in the loop today for a client meeting and I was getting 3-5mbps around Clinton and Randolph.

These are my last two speeds since I flashed a new ROM. The faster one is outside my house. The slower one is outside my store. Inside on both is a different story. Even though these are huge improvements over the 3g speeds I was getting. Having a Verizon phone for work and having had an att phone before I would like to still see some faster speeds.

The lowest speeds I've seen out west is about 7-9 mb but that's usually during rush hours. After that I see about 10-15

That's exactly what we HAD going for us during the test phases... Now the official reality is way under 10 mbps..This is my regular speed though
