LTE not working in Charlotte areas

I have experienced in the South End area (corner of South Blvd. and Bland) and Uptown charlotte (Epicentre area) that my phone says LTE and has very good signal but will cannot access any content.  What I have to do is turn off the enable LTE on my iPhone...after doing this, data starts flowing.  It is a real pain to remember all of this.  Anyone else experiencing a similar problem?

@vjbrad,

Let's get you back to enjoying our super fast 4G speeds!

Which iPhone do you have? What's the zip code where you experiencing these issues? Does this happen only when in that specific area?

Try removing the SIM card for a minute. Insert and retest. Keep me posted if the issue persists.

28203 and 28202. It works fine elsewhere like where I live in the 29745 zip code. I have an iPhone 5. The phone shows LTE, but no throughput.

Thanks for the info vjbrad! I'm confident that together we can get this resolved once and for all. Can I assume that there isn't any liquid or physical damage on your iPhone 5? Also, have you done the recent software update to iOS 7? If so then try this then retest.

Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings

Once this is done, the device will power off and then back on. Prior to testing the 4G data service, please verify that wifi is turned off in settings. Once you have tested the data service then please post your findings, just in case more assistance is needed.

Thank you...

Here you go. I don't think it's my device.

Thanks for the screenshot vjbrad. That does appear to be extremely slow for 4G. Do you notice if it is slow only at certain times of the day or only indoors? I'm wondering if there may be some congestion at specific hours.

This is a bottleneck issue with the service I am pretty sure.  We all have this problem especially during certain times of the day like lunch hour downtown.  This needs to be resolved immediately.  Otherwise why are we paying?
