Post your LTE data speed and carrier

[EK69]

So looks like a lot of people have both the Samsung galaxy s3 as well as the iPhone 5 now... And other than random posts in each thread I couldn't find any other info, so I came up with this idea.

Can ppl download the speedtest.net app and run some speedtests?
Plz include device used, phone company, and general location :)

This way we can get a rough idea of how LTE speeds are in Calgary in different parts of the city and what the difference is between carriers and locations.

Also cuz according to Rogers coverage maps the entire NE is missing LTE coverage while telus/bell show full coverage of Calgary and beyond :nut:

This thread isn't meant to be an iSheep vs fandroid bitchfest, just focusing on LTE quality and coverage between the different carriers :drama:

If anyone else has another LTE device feel free to post your speedtest too

That because who ever made the map thought the NE was the middle east...

Seriously though, There's lots of coverage on the Rogers map, which one are you looking at?

I looked at this same map last week and north of memorial drive and east of 36st had "planned" LTE coverage and today, same day I make this thread, I first get a text from Rogers saying LTE has arrived in my region and 2nd evidently the map has been updated :nut:

Oh well, the posts will still give an idea of where LTE sucks and which carrier lol

//edit
That map is hilarious. Random holes in coverage from saddleridge all the way down to temple, yet random bodies of water have LTE coverage If u follow Stoney trail north of saddleridge where it turns west :rofl:

I noticed this too, driving on Stoney I get LTE.. not in scenic acres though..

[jdmSiR]

These speeds are staggering compared to mine. Currently I'm on a provider called Telstra in Australia. Obviously speed still differs by location, however in the business district of Brisbane I'm downloading at ~14Mb/s and uploading at around the same.

[jdmSiR]

I should mention that this was tested on an iPhone 5, LTE dongle and, s3

[GoChris]

A lot of these speeds are faster than my home fiber connection. :banghead:

Maybe when the mobile carriers start including 400GB of data usage with their plans instead of 6GB :rofl:

oh i didnt realize its only 6gb.. but really - who needs 40mbits bandwidth on a mobile phone that would only use 6gigs/month.

Hit over 20 Mbps out in Langdon, not bad for the location, nice to see the coverage has been extended. Supposed to get LTE up by the project I work on north of Fort Mac, so will post the results of that once they get it.

[azian_advanced]

so your upload speed is faster than your downloads? weird

[ga16i]

Just got the wife an S3 with Rogers and tried this last night

SE Mckenzie Towne LTE 6PM
ping 163ms
download 18400kbps
upload 494kpbs

SE Mckenzie Towne WiFi on Shaw Broadband 50 6PM
ping 71ms
download 30123kbps
upload 4463kbps

Downtown Sunterra on Macleod LTE 7PM
ping 88ms
download 25035kbps
upload 8278kbps

Yes, upload on LTE downtown is stated as 2X faster than my WiFi connection at home. :eek:

[CanmoreOrLess]

According to the Rogers map I should have LTE in my Calgary location, I can confirm there is no LTE connection so the map is crap.

For those who aren't getting fast LTE speeds, they should check out Loxcel Canadian Tower Map (http://www.loxcel.com/celltower). It's updated very frequently and shows all tower locations for every carrier and can filter to show only 3G or LTE towers.

If you are constantly getting a slow LTE speed, then it might be due to traffic congestion. To experience LTE speeds, you may want to locate the closest LTE tower, drive to it, and run the Speedtest.

The speed in Canada better be faster than Australia... You guys have such awesome rates even on prepaid Telstra. I paid like $20 for 5GBs of data and still have money to call home.. Meanwhile, you guys have shitty broadband wired service.

I've seen faster downloads (50s) but this server had the best upload.

Got a new LG Optimus G 2600mhz LTE coming as of this morning, Rogers says 100mbits capable and fastest phone they have out there so we will see how she does!
