I sure hoped I would get those crazy fast speeds I've been seeing in the forum, but these are pretty good. I'm in Oklahoma City in my apartment. Maybe it'll get faster when I'm out and about. I signed up for that $30 100 min/5GB 4G plan.

You may get faster speeds out in the city, although those speed aren't bad. It depends on were you are. I only get about 3 Mbps down outside my job but nothing works well there.
 
Really, I find that for most things (except maybe downloading large files) 5-10 MBPS is really plenty. I almost balked because I found out the the was no 42 mbps here, but I'm glad I decided to get it anyway.
 
T-Mobile: Metro Atlanta. Galaxy Nexus gave me about 9 mbps down and 2 mbps up.

This is what the Nexus 4 gives me.

Here's a couple (separated by about a week). I pretty regularly get ~23Mbps down and ~3Mbps up. I'm in San Jose, CA.

Frankly with the speeds and performance I get on my Nexus 4 with T-Mo, I really couldn't care less about LTE. Fwiw, I tested an iPhone 5 and Lumia 920 on AT&T LTE where I live and neither one saw more than 8-10Mbps down...

I get 20Mbps+ from time to time on my wife's HTC One S. Don't see why I should not get the same speeds. To be sure I will test it. This will travel with me to work and I get great signal in my office.
 
These are from my basement with sprint lte in Chicago

Can someone explain something to me?
I had read that T-Mobile uses 1700 MHz for its 3/4G implementation, a band which the Nexus 4 does not support. T-mobile is switching over to 1900MHz (N4 supported) in some locales. So are all you guys with fast downloads in areas with the switchover, or am I not understanding th process?

Thanks.

The N4 does support 1700 MHz.
 
Amazing. Hit 24.7 Mbps down at 5:15 pm last night, Ann Arbor, MI. Glad I moved on from Sprint.

I don't have screenshots to post right now, but what I get in the city in Tucson is about 19-22mb down, and 1-2mb up. Where I live, about 12-15 miles from the main city, is about 4-6mb down, and 1-2mb up. Pretty damn good if you ask me.
 
Nassau County, Long Island.
Contemplating if I should even turn wifi on! :-)

I'm getting awesome speed with tmo prepaid on the 30 plan. especially at work where is the one place I spent most time without WiFi. but the cell signals are just too spotty, and too hard too keep track with 100 min. guess I'll be switching to straight talk att plan after this month is over. I'll definitely miss the fast tmo speed, but having good cell signal is just as important. and anything is way better than the Sprint speed that I was getting. this is a lil off topic, but what kind of speed are ppl getting with att prepaid?

I get up to 5 down with StraightTalk(AT&T). It is usually around 3 down.
