Why is my 3G so slow?

The 4G LTE is crazy fast but when I hit a 3G spot, I literally can't do anything internet wise, like if I try to download an app, I downloaded an app with 4G in 1 minute, with 3G it took me 20+ minutes... I mean its just really slow and I took my Sims card out for 30 seconds and put it back in and didn't help. I was with my supervisor and she has a iPhone 3, and her 3G speed beat mine by 4x, and we both side by side and with Verizon. Is there anything I can do?

Because IPhone is a better phone, better radios in them.

@KennyDeadSP,

I definitely want you to experience the fastest speeds available in your area!

What phone model do you have? What's the zip code where you are experiencing these challenges? What speeds are you running when in a 3G area http://bit.ly/18kSQZ9?

3G is always slower than 4G just like 3G is faster than 2G. Why would you be using 3G if you have a 4G phone anyway?
