After updating a custom rom on my phone (STOCK WITH GOODIES 2.02
SENSE 4.1) I was finally able to get a LTE connection as the updated rom contains the radio update.
The fastest result I got:
2nd highest was around 18mb down
Average was around 7mb down
I still believe there is an issue with my radio as I had to keep switching it back & forth from CDMA to LTE in which it would start on LTE and then jump back to 3G. Or the signal is just weak where I was at. I was located off 175 & Rt 1 by Jessup for most of the test and just got on 32 off I-95 when i got the high speed above.
I knew there was definitely an issue with my radio before i updated because I was at Arundel Mills Mall on Sunday and got no LTE connection at all when many others are said they definitely do get a connection in that area.
In regards to crappy 3G speeds
It has been beyond horrific in my area. I can barely load up wepbapes or upload photos to facebook most of the time. if it wasen;t for wifi my phone would be damn near useless most of the time. Its definitely the network because i esperienced the same thing with the EVO 3D in my area but had a strong WiMax 4G signal. Thats what sucks the most abotu this. There is a strong WiMax 4G signal in my area but no LTE yet. And I live in the prime location in Columbia MD by the Mall, Lakefront and Merriweather Post Pavilion
