    Default Post your LTE data speed and carrier

    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

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

    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?

    They're certainly big, but I don't know if they are the BEST I've tasted.

    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

    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

    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.

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