WOW, blazing speed!

[Monkey]

No other carrier in the states can pull 4G speeds above 42.2, except Big Red, to the best of my knowledge.

Uhhh... I routinely get 50mbps+ on at&t, with decent signal it is rarely below 40mbps.

Well, I decided to try a different tactic while here at work. In between breaks I turn off mobile data and just use texting with my wife. Then at break and dinner (now) I turn data back on and do my thing.

Right now at 5 hours and 46 minutes since taking off the charger, I am at 60% on my battery. I just need it to last until 3am and I'll be happy. I am going to keep the phone, though I wish the speaker was louder.

If I need more juice I will get a few Mugen batteries and maybe one of those external chargers, New Trent with 9900mah battery.

I thought about the Maxx for a few seconds, but I'm just not a big Motorola fan.

Wrong.

Did a speed test today, got over 60mbps down.

p.s.look at the advertisement. :lol:

now i feel like calling Verizon to ask why t f i get only 7 Mb at my home office. lol.

Your right, it dawned on me before I submitted that last reply. I completely forgot AT&T went live in a handful of their LTE markets.

Let's do a class action confetence call. If it makes you feel better your 7mbps is like light speed compared to my 3-5mbps down avg. & less than 2mbps up, at home. I've never seen it above 13 up & 6 down in CLE. I wouldn't know what to do w/ myself if I saw big numbers like these people gey.

Ahhh, love it.

IMO, for heavy users and assuming on unlimited, I think Verizon is a better choice due to unlimited unthrottled 4GLTE. AT&T will throttle 4GLTE. Speed wise, hard to say, since the market isn't really saturated yet. It will be a test once the iPhone gets 4GLTE how both networks hold up.

f the iPhone and who y'all think will have the better lte service in a couple years us cellular Verizon sprint atnt or T-Mobile???? I think sprint can do it as long as its still unlimited data

I read an article not that long ago that threw a wrench in the spokes. A definitive answer is extremely tricky to answer b/c there is some really insane LTE tech. in the works w/ plans to hopefully begin deployment by the end of 2013. I believe Sprint was said to be treading water right now b/c their banking their future on Apple and this "new" LTE technology to replace their WiMax network. In effect, it will reportedly, more than double the current LTE speed that is currently seen on Verizon and AT&T. So who knows what will happen, just have to wait and see, I guess.

I whole heartedly agree on Big Red at the moment but if you recall when the rumors / story broke. Verizon originally was that they were going to institute plan changes across the board for everyone. Existing customers were going to switch to tiered at the end of their existing contract. When they finally did announce that tiered plans were coming and existing users would be grandfathered in. They also indicated that grandfathered unlimited plans weren't exactly written in stone as safe from future changes. They did a similar thing when they changed to new 3g data plans when the Dare, Storm & Omnia released. Current contractees were unaffected by it until they renewed terms on their contracts. So I wouldn't put it past them to pull the rug at some point. I know I'm done with them the second they do.

I'm almost certain that at a future point, they will do something - move to tiered, throttle, or something, I would not expect them to give unlimited unthrottled 4GLTE forever, but I don't think it will be very soon either, given their battle with ATT and soon, Sprint. I don't think that they will switch people to tiered at the end of the contract. More likely, as you said before, they would force you to change to a tiered plan or perhaps throttled if you wanted to keep unlimited/unthrottled when buying a subsidized phone. of course, for heavy data users, it may be worth it to buy an unsubsidized phone, if that were to happen. of course, this is all speculation, only time will tell. but in the mean time, enjoy unlimited unthrottled 4GLTE.

Can, do, shall and will

 

[skatergirl]

Yeah...off topic of the speed (not trying to hijack the thread), but my Incredible died on me the day the dreaded Bionic came out. That worthless phone has turned me off to Motorola forever!

I am turned off to Motorola too. Do you have a Rezound now?

 

[Lactose The Intolerant]

One of these years I'll live in a 4G area... and the day that happens, I'll fall in love with my Rezound all over again.

You know that scene in Aladdin: "PHENOMENAL COSMIC POWER!!! itty-bitty living space!" ?

Yeah, this is me atm: "LIMITLESS DATA!!! itty-bitty 3g speed!"

 

[sniffs]

Wrong.

What are you talking about? AT&T has LTE that is JUST AS FAST as Verizon's.


PS to the above posters about battery life/data speeds. The faster the data the better the battery life.

If you have to open a connection at 3Mbps and download 100MB of data, you're going to leave that connection open longer, modem in use longer than if it was 50Mbps and downloaded a lot quicker.

 

[PewterL31]

Wrong.

No your wrong there are members on this board pulling down over 60mbps with Samsung skyrocket so get over yourself.

I don't doubt the current att lte speed, but it doesn't do much good to have 60mbps but for a week then get throttled.

A week, that's generous. You can burn 2gb plan up watching a 2hr movie on Netflix . I've ran up 2x my normal monthly usage already this month w/ YT now streaming in 720p, alone. I've got another week on my billing cycle. I'll be over 20+gb before then. That tiered plans crap is such a blatant scam on consumers it's unbelievable they can get away with it. No wonder all they want to carry are 4g phones.
