Updated Speedtest.net app!

Check the market for the updated version of the Speedtest.net app. Supposedly it can actually test the 4G LTE speed correctly now. http://community.vzw.com/t5/image/gallerypage/user-id/75820/image-id/2838i68F5961E77780513

Looks like I'll finally get to taste the LTE goodness Thursday one way or another.  Hoping it goes live in Raleigh on Thursday along with the others but if not, I'm gonna have to make a trip to my parent's house in Wilmington since it's already been confirmed. lol

15.29mbps down and 5.4 up.....seems much more believeable than 28 up....lol. they must've got it fixed.

Nice!

gonna give it a go tomorrow afternoon on that newly minted LTE network in Wilmington, NC.

Looks like they've updated the online coverage maps to show the new lte areas.  My parents live a mile or so from the extended coverage area.

Although it might be worth a trip into town.

Here are the results from the Tampa, Florida region...

Using 4G (in Mbps):

Run#       Download     Upload

Run 1:     15.7                3.6

Run 2:     12.3                3.5

Run 3:       4.9                1.7 (only 1 bar on my phone during this run)

Run 4:     11.1                3.4

Run 5:     10.0                3.7

With the exception of Run 3, all runs were made with 2 to 3 bars on the signal strength.

Nice!

Using 3G (in Mbps):

Run#       Download     Upload

Run 1:     0.322             0.641

Run 2:     0.356             0.267

Run 3:     0.315             0.323 

Who's got time to try 5 test runs at 3G speeds! Not so nice!

Even the one bar result, is faster than 3G in my area (Verizon or AT&T)

Welp...definitely no LTE at my parents house.  All I get is this: 

Good news is that I get LTE where my cousin plays baseball but I'm going to call **bleep** on Verizon's coverage map.  LTE all the way down Highway 17 my foot.  3G test

LTE test at the same location.
