So tried Verizons LTE today and im jealous....

I tried verizon 4g today in Tacoma,WA....

It was half as fast as my sprint 4g... I was actually shocked to see that result. I was blocks away form the verizon corp. store. it was only tipping th scales to the tune of 4 mbps

I've been getting Sprint LTE in Tacoma. 6 mbps download & about 4 mbps up.

So my cousin got the Droid Bionic and dropped it off for me to root and rom...

i took full advantage of this opportunity to play since ive never even messed with true LTE before.

so i switched lte on and did some speed tests, WOW was i BLOWN away.
the speeds are FASTER than my roadrunner broadband!
heres a speedtest i did.

with sprint we dont even have 4g, i know of some hwy stretches where 4g is available, so ive tried it and the most ive gotten was 8mbs down, but 27?!?!? that stuff FLIES and i didnt even have full bars in my house.

i thought LTE was fast, but i didnt know it was that fast.

needless to say im jealous,

i fully understand you dont have unlimited data (he luckily is grandfathered) and our plan prices cant be beat, but damn i just wish we could have speeds like that.
i was beyond impressed.

anyone else gotten to play with lte or 4g from another carrier?

EDIT:
i have heard this is the slower end of LTE,
i heard its common to get 35mbs down!
thats just crazy.

I've tested Verizon on my brother in laws Verizon phone. He gets between 8-12mbps on regular basis. He has also gotten around 6mbps also. But Sprint is the same. Sometimes I get 4_6mbps and other times I get 12-22mbps. Like speedtests below.

Sprint varies but I say anything 10Mbit down on a phone is just fine...

Just ran test last night on a part of my town that has 4g lte on and hasn't turned off even though not officially announced and I have to say.... WOW! Looking forward to official announcement.
