Horrible 4G LTE speeds if my phone even connects!!!

My department has multiple phones and MiFi devices and they all have been having connection issues for over a year now.  Multiple calls to Verizon Wireless with multiple lies and excuses as to why nobody can connect.  I have seen, at best, .20Mbps download and .18Mbps upload speeds.  Most other times I get that there is no network connection.  All of this is while I have 4-5 bars of 4G LTE.  I am sick and tired of resetting my phone, removing my sim card, resetting network settings, etc. to get the same results and only to be told that there are no problems!  Verizon Wireless, you need to fix these issues before legal action is taken!

It happens no matter where we go. This is not a device issue. It has been happening ever since Verizon announced the XLTE network. Please fix this issue! I'm tired of sub-standard service and I'm ready to take my government contract elsewhere!

Hold the phone jon3479. The experts are here and ready to resolve your speed issue. I agree, this is unacceptable and you have been dealing with this for way too long. XLTE should have improved your service; Adding XLTE to the existing Verizon Wireless 4G LTE network is akin to doubling the number of lanes on a freeway – those extra lanes mean traffic can move faster, even though the speed limit hasn’t changed. I don't want to repeat any steps you have already done so jon3479, what steps have you taken to have this resolved? Is it safe to assume our engineers have been involved? Have we replaced your sim card? Since you heve power off, reset your network settings, does speed improve at all for awhile?

I have reset my network settings, rebooted my phone, removed SIM card, restored phone to factory default, and even had my phone replaced. Still not any better.

Then take your business elsewhere. It's not a legal issue. Cellular devices are radio devices and service can degrade. If you've done all you can do, switch services. It's quite simple.

Pherson, you are no help. You don't work for Verizon, so your comments are not needed. If I wanted an answer like that, I would have asked my 12 year old for help.

If you want a solution call customer service. 611 from your cell or 8009220204 from a landline which is what you will have to do anyway. This is a peer to peer customer forum and not a direct link to customer service.
