Slow data in downtown Brooklyn norm?

[Closingracer]

I was expecting faster speeds and since Verizon is cheaper for 10gb chose then over AT&T. Should I be expecting this or just because it is 1:30?

Hard to say without knowing the specifics. If you are on a heavily loaded tower on 700MHz then that isn't bad. I have seen speeds well under 1mbps in this scenario

Did a 2nd one and was 40 down and 20 up which is good. Surprisingly I barely get service in my house but I have a signal all through my house. I know sprint and AT&T gets me around 2-3 bars lol. It's still service and not complaining since this is better then t mobile

Speeds vary depending on the area. Your area may not be XLTE ready -- check the PDF below to see which cities are XLTE Enabled.

xlte isn't on every tower within the listed cities. Additionally even if xlte is on the tower that you are using, you might get dropped to 700MHz inside of buildings.

I am pretty sure my issues with speed is based in my phone is defective . standing in middle of a street and no service so just going to get this exchanged probably for a note 4 or iPhone 6 plus

I would look to make sure that you are in the coverage area. I would guess so, but it doesn't hurt to check. Also call Verizon to troubleshoot. It could be a bad sim and if so switching phones using the same sim might result in the same problem.

Well I'm going to try a new phone anyways since I want a note 4 so if this doesn't solve anything I'll go talk to Verizon

I would still recommend that you try to resolve the issue with the phone first. So you can avoid the restocking fee. Also keep in mind that you are permitted one exchange. So once you get the Note 4, you won't be able to go back to the turbo or get a nexus 6 or whatever.

I'm fine with that and bestbuy didn't charge me a restocking fee. I was going to buy the nexus 6 should I want it off Google play anyways. Bestbuy was offering $150 bestbuy gift card and that gamer unlocked which is basically 20% all new video games and is $120 for 2 years which I got for free which is why I didn't want to wait for the mythical Verizon nexus 6
