After flashing the latest update (firmware and radio) via PJ75IMG -so i didnt get the new HBOOT and loose my S-OFF, my data speeds suffered so much (down to 50-80kbps) so that i had to swap out to use my S3 to have a usable signal. I did a prl and data profile update after flashing the PJ75IMG with no changes, even did several reboots and even wiped all user data to make sure an app wasnt downloading updates or anything. There have also been other people with the same issue. S3 seems do be doing much better pulling in .58mbps (in a basement) Perhaps tomorrow, ill re-evaluate the LTE and see if it was only a temporary problem.
If you have issues, make sure phone is set to cdma mode only (only until you hear about an update or when lte is live in your area)
This alone has solved several issues with the signal always dropping for me when I first got the phone

Step 1) DOWNLOAD THE PRL OF YOUR CHOICE

Step 4) Go to Phone and do ##data#
Step 5)SELECT VIEW (not edit!)
YOU WILL SEE a PRL Write area,
(Step 6) Click PRL Write
Step 7) Click PRL Write (again)
Your phone will now reboot and use that prl you placed on the root of your SD CARD. ENJOY
