Three-channel carrier aggregation. T-Mobile rolled it out last year I believe but I have yet to see that in my location. Probably get some good speeds.

I think the same goes for Chicagoland area. We only just got band 12 fairly recent. Can't complain though as my data speeds average 60-70 down with bursts as high as 90-100 on single band.

That is ridiculous! That's better than LTE in most cities. Is that consistent?

Yes. I've tested multiple times today. I've also tested it in various parts of the city the last few days. It's always above 10mbps. Most of the time it's above 15.
Edit: More results after mine that's even faster. Nice work T-mobile.
Wow. Mine sucks.

Well, it is interesting to see since the S III is the first phone available on all 4 carriers that includes LTE and 42mbps HSPA+ on T-mobile. At least as far as I know.

T-Mobile FTW
Us Sprint folks are too embarrassed to post on this thread. Unless you want my WiFi speed that is
I got from the low 13Mbps to 28Mbps inside my house. This must be the thing of future for Internet connection... not very consistent at all. At least when I used my Captivate with HSPA+, I consistently got 2Mbps
This is actually a usefull thread I'll be getting my GS3 tomorrow but on my one s get from 8-16 mbps leaving sprint till LTE comes alive and hopefully is good in Las Vegas

Improved Signal with LTE?

I just recently got LTE on T-mobile here in Tucson, AZ. I noticed I am now getting LTE signal in places I couldn't even get 3G before. My question...does LTE in general provide better coverage, or is it just because T-Mobile perhaps worked on expanding their coverage in my area?
I'm pretty sure they're doing both.

Lmao This is insane I've done 50 down before but man its slow I'm on the 10 mobile share plan and only used about 3GB. I used to use an AT&T demo line with unlimited everything for about 5 years and man that was much father than this (now I'm playing). ??

I'm on the 10 GB mobile share plan also. Maybe your signal is weak where you're at? Also i did mine pretty early in the morning so probably network traffic was low
To be getting those type of speeds what apn ate you using? Speeds are never that high in Houston.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
I never touched the APN, just left it how it was out of the box:
I posted my very highest speed but Ive also gotten down to 16 mbps and everything in between.
My APN is untouched as well. Also on the 10gb mobile share, but I'm up in northern Virginia.
Never had data speeds this fast on my iPhone... Same network, same location. I think the Note 3 (usually) does a good job of maximizing data speeds!

Are you guys using build prop tweaks for data speeds or stock?

No tweaks here, I was bone stock when I hit 45 down. These are my more typical speeds at home, with 2-3 bars.
Edit: just noticed that that want even lte just now...Good h+ speeds nonetheless

Just tested it with definite LTE and it's the same when I have 2 bars. Guess I'll only hit 50 down in a full coverage area.

SM-G920F in Canada (Koodo)

Hi, I'm having bad signal reception with this phone with Koodo, is it compatible with the bands in Canada?
Thank you!
I don't believe the F variant has the AWS band, which is used in Canada. You can try switching to 3G only, see if that helps.

Today I got 4G most of the day, the cellular reception is bad thought compared to my Nexus 5. Most of the time, even at the center of the city, I usually get only 1 bar of signal.
I bought it from the Amazon Prime sale, I can return it if anything's wrong.
Try disabling LTE then.

Aw snap, so, what do I have to look right off the bath with another new phone? Which band is AWS?
If it's any Samsung, the W8 models are what you want.

Advanced LTE starting Today

Many of you must have heard that starting today LTE-A has been turned on by Verizon on more than 400 cities nationwide. I live in Denver area and seems like it's been turned on here. I haven't seen any unusual speeds yet (maybe because I don't get very good signal where I work).. but have you guys noticed it?
Do they have a list or map of the cities?

my city is listed, i see no difference. As a matter of fact, my speeds are performing terrible in the last few days.
yeah my town is listed also, and no difference

I actually did a random speed test earlier in San Diego which is listed. Pretty slow if you want to see the screenshot yourself.
I'm on the rooted Sprint ROM with all the Verizon features though, so I'm not sure if that would prevent LTE-A
I'm flashing back to stock tonight so I'll see again tomorrow when I get to work.

if you have low speed on speedtest, go to settings and choose the server. it defaults to automatic but sometimes it doesn't pick the closest one. when you manually choose the speeds will change depending on the one you're closest to

They're listing it by BTA (Basic Trading Area) as well ie. San Fran.-Oak.-S.J.,CA on that list, aka BTA 404, stretches from us in Mendocino County in the north to King City in the south, it's huge.
